McD’s scheme is for the weak. Hate it. Calls so f’n scared.

Terrible tackling and space given on first drive. Come on bills 

bills are historically bad on the first drive of games defensively over the past few years. The trend continues.

 

more about how they are in the 2nd half

Next drive let’s play further off. See if we can make it a little easier on the bengals maybe the TD won’t take as much time off the clock

[MphsBillsfan]

For any real change to happen in the off-season is for them to miss the playoffs.

Tre looked like a midget on Higgins. Speaking of which why is it still Tre with a healthy Haitlrston?

Because McD is smarter than the rest of us ☹️

[Chaos]

real question, did we get a hand on Burrows on any play in that drive?

 

[QLBillsFan]

McB playing soft D like the rules are 1st and 20. If so it would be a great plan 😂

And the coaching staff can't adjust their philosophy against Burrow to save their life... I live with players making mistakes against a talented offense. I can't live with the coaching staff making the same old mistakes.

 

How do you blame coaching for people not to tackle?

That was worst case scenario. another nearly perfect opening drive by Burrow against us

Of course that's what happened nothing else was gonna happen and its gonna happen all day watching this defense is like watching someone die slowly

[I'm Spartacus]

The tv announcers were very critical of the soft cushions the db's are giving Burrow. It's the old "don't give up the big play" garbage. 7 to 10 yard cushions are stupid.

so many opportunities to get them off the field on third down and we let them throw underneath the soft coverage over and over again  At least force a accurate downfield pass to even be attempted

They are running half speed and we back off scared

[estro613]

.McDermott came out with the "let's let the Bengals wrs run to the first down marker unimpeded, turn around and have a pitch and catch with Burrow". 

 

Mcdermotts defense drives me nuts. Guys just conservative to the core

[Roundybout]

Horrible coverage on the return too

[SoonerBillsFan]

Another mcbeane **** show

[LarryMadman]

4-4 on 3rd downs the first drive of the game. Other teams laugh at this defense scheme because it's so ***** easy to defeat

[JerseyBills]

Is this just a replay from the Divisional round?

[SCBills]

Lol… they start at the 34, we start at the 22. 
 

 

Clockwork.

True believers can build tremendous cultures.   They create a vision and teach it, live it, infuse it.   It’s remarkable to observe.

 

But they’re stubborn in that unique way that zealots are stubborn.    McD will give soft cushions to Joe Burrow because he believes it’s right.   You can show him all the film you want.   You can make him stand by and watch it all you want.

 

He believes ….

Weak return

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

Offense going to have to have a perfect day again. That’s fair
