Is This McD's Worst Loss?

I think you have them backwards 

Not really, at least the 13 seconds loss was against a great QB and a great team. Not the 2-7 Fins who just traded away one of their best defenders

Dude - he’s right.  Allen was absolutely horrible- JV backup level play.  Trade him while other teams still think he’s worth it.  He’s lost his mojo.  

He’s lost his mojo because Beane won’t put any friggin talent around him to take the pressure off. You don’t trade a 29 year old Josh Allen, you build around him

Not to belabor the point, but the Bills played great in the 13 seconds game; it was McDermott’s worst coaching blunder, but the team performed well against a great team in hostile environment.  This was just a complete embarrassment, from top to bottom…

The offense performed well in the 13 second game.  The defense allowed 552 yards and 42 points.  That's the side of the ball that got him the head coaching job.  Top it off with not squib kicking it and two abhorrent defensive calls.  It's his worst head coaching performance of all time.  IMO.  I know we need a sacrificial lamb but this was more of a spread out loss.  He was the main reason we lost 13 seconds.

In the eye test, the Dolphins dominated the Bills (particularly in the trenches) to roughly the same degree the Bills dominated the Chiefs a week earlier.

 

The end results: The Dolphins smoked the Bills by 17, while the Bills needed to survive a Hail Mary (which they occasionally don't - see Arizona)

Under Daboll, every play was designed to pick up a first down. McDermott hated that, since it scores too quickly. Brady is running exactly the smallball offense McDermott wants, where it's more important to grind first downs and protect the defense and not put them out there where they get gashed on the regular by anyone who just friggin runs the ball against their zones full of undersized poor tacklers.

 

The Bills coaching staff minimizes the advantages they have on offense, just to protect an obviously incapable defense that is more directly attributable to the head coach. Is it just to protect his reputation? It's maddening. No wonder Allen looks like "***** this *****" after half these series of no-margin-for-error playcalls.

The 13 seconds game still rules.

Difference.

 

THAT was a HOF FUBAR by McClapper and him alone!
Neck and neck with the worst critical HCing ***** up in NFL history!

 

This one was the worst, total incompetence displayed by a Bills team in the McD era.

Jags loss to Urban Myer was bad. But is this the worst overall team loss under McD?

feel like this deserves a poll unless already done(probably) but at least this is another one to add to the list which is a strong contender

[Talley56]

I still think Jags 9-6 was worse and the loss to Indy that same season where the Colts came in and slaughtered the Bills when Jonathan Taylor ran circles around our defense.  There have also been a few others in the McDermott era that I thought were worse than today (the Nathan Peterman disaster in 17 against the Chargers for one).

1. 13 seconds

2. Urban Meyer loss

3. Colts regular season blow out loss

4. Broncos Monday night game

 

Then you can argue this is probably #5

Add The jets opening day two years ago after Rodger’s went down 

[Freddie's Dead]

It's up there, but I thought the worst was 13 seconds, followed by the Colts 41-17 back in 2021.

This is sarcasm right?

McD didnt fumble, throw a terrible interceptions, underthrow a wr when he had a step on his guy or throw one in the dirt on a screen. If you think Josh Allen had a good game your on something  and this time I don't want any.

 

Allen had a terrible game. The entire offence sucked.

 

To bad we can't test your bad take.  So let's trade Allen for 4 1st round picks.  My guess is that there are at least 25 teams, maybe more, that would break down the door to make that offer.  The Bills could probably get it to five 1st round picks.  Then after Allen is gone we can see how well McD/Bean do.
