For all you McDermott haters, who would you want?

I’m not even a McD hater but if the defense stinks it up in the playoffs again my vote would be for literally anyone else. He’s a good coach but at some point you have realize he’s not quite good enough to get us to the promise land.

Playoffs? We have played down to 3 of the last 5 teams we've played. It's a nasty trend and it solely falls on McDermott. Tonight's loss hurt being a division loss, whereas the next 2 games are against the NFC. The defense is already in playoff form, but against far less formidible teams including NE

I don’t disagree with what you said but yes, my only concern with the defense is how they play in the divisional round and beyond. We went 13-4 last year against a tougher schedule with a similarly ranked defense and our only loss this year was mostly on the offense.

Your point about going 13-4 last year on a tougher schedule is a valid point. Which makes this year even more mindboggling. I feel sorry for Josh and the workload being placed at his feet. Seems the Bills are a bit too enamored with Josh making low key WRs in to somebody like he did with Mack Hollins

[Buffalo Ballin]

We're definitely not making the Super Bowl this year. Please toss that goal out of the window.

Meaning that McDermott and Babich will be fired at the end of this season. They better be.

He definitely has more on his shoulders in the passing game than he did in 2020-23. Thank god for Cook and the OL or else the offense would’ve regressed a lot.

Sadly Vrabel is a better game manager.  Hate having him in Division.

Yeah but as good as Josh is, even he can't mask our defensive deficiencies

Scoring 30+ points nearly every game is a pretty good remedy for a lackluster defense but yeah, games like this makes it harder to gloss over the defensive deficiencies.

Like what?  Bills have only lost by more than 6 points ONLY ONCE in the last +50 games.

 

How is that a D deficiency?

They play complimentary ball, that's what gets them all those wins...

We still get eliminated in the playoffs though, year after year. AFC title game? LOL, yeah that's not happening either.

[Doc Brown]

Steve Spagnola.  Kill two birds with one stone.

Literally any other coach at the level of Vrabel or better. Josh has polished McDermott's turds year after year.

That's my point, there will be games like this again, especially against better teams. We may have an easier schedule this year, but KC and Philly will boatrace this defense. I don't think as good as Josh is that he can overcome that, this everybody eats offense isn't very effective. Brady has tried to be cute too many times when the score is too close. And also, you gotta remember, 30+ points we've scored have been against below average defenses. Lacking a true number 1 receiver will keep hurting us as the year goes on and as of now, we lack that

Man can’t lose one game 😂
