McD confirmed that he and Babich are “working together” to call defense

So there are people on this board who have a problem with McD calling plays when the D looked the best it has so far? Holy sht people. I couldn’t care less who calls the plays as long as the D is playing well. Get a grip.

 

 

 

I'm a hardcore mchater, but that man has proven he can call and with the best in the NFL.  He has a feel for what frustrates opponents and dials up coverages to hide the talent holes on d.

 

I'm not a fan of his scheme over all, but he's clearly the best at it.

 

He also seems to inspire confidence in the young guns. Gets them just flying

Defense has looked much better since the second half of the Atlanta game. If they perform well next week, we are in good shape. 

      That’s a big “IF”. !   Falcons got smoked by the fins , we beat dalton behind a patchwork o line.  Hardly convincing stuff. Let’s see how many times they get to Mahomes ; then we will have a more accurate picture about playoff type football.  I don’t see Cook running for 200 yards either as Reid will key on him.  
 

      I agree with you tho , perform like that against KC, and it would be reason to be optimistic. Pats have an easy schedule  tho, we will be without Oliver most Likely as well,, so we might be a wildcard and should that happen , it will be like prior years as not getting that week off and playing on the road is unlikely to lead to a Super Bowl.  I prefer to see the Bills actually beat some quality teams like KC, TAMPA,  OR PITTSBURGH before fully buying in.  Hey , they have fooled me for 8 years so now prove sometime to me.    Happy Halloween!n

It was a washed up Andy Dalton today folks, lets see who's calling D next week against Mahomes

Seems like when McD calls the D, it gets results

In the past, the defense has played good defense vs the Chiefs during the season. Only to fold in the postseason. So even a good performance next week might not mean much. But it will give me hope of a possible one seed. 

 

I don't think KC goes all out during the regular season vs the Bills.

Not if Indy keeps playing the way they are...they might not lose again. They are just blowing the doors off teams

If we're going to run McDermotts defense he should call it 

 

They seem to perform better and it's not unheard of for a HC to call plays
