Great post, Sean is absolutely a great man and I hope he gets us there too.

 

The WR move MUST happen, or I fear Allen will have second thoughts about wanting to here his entire career.

 

 

 

Tim Graham just wants to cause trouble. Engagement farming and combative posts to fans on X.   

I wouldn't be so sure about that.  No inside knowledge, but that guy is a good, experienced reporter.  They often hear stuff they can't report.  This type of thing is something that easily could be seen as (and something I view as) dropping a hint.

if McDermott can't win the SB this yr he never will

That's my point. There are no more excuses. The biggest hurdles are out of the way.

You are completely wrong lol

 

The bills have a more complete offense now that could win a Super bowl then most of Josh's career 

 

Everybody said it was never going to happen when he had to be Superman all game.. now he doesn't he just has to do it a few times a game 

 

We have the most complete offense in the AFC that could win multiple ways.. we also are battle tested 

 

Sorry dude you're a 100% wrong this is an offense that could give any team a problem in the Super bowl.. and Josh isn't going to have to have 400 passing yards to win

 

There's plenty of people around the NFL who echo that sentiment besides the three u named

 

This offense is not going to be easy to stop in the playoffs

😂😂Name me one single other QB who wins that Bengals game and then talk to me about a 'complete offense'

That's kind of a contrarian way to look at it.  If Reid/mahomes, Burrow/Taylor, Harbaugh/Jackson, Shotty/Dak, Campbell/Goff don't even make it to the Playoffs it would seem McD making it again would be thought of in a more positive light.

 

The plan had been get many bites at the apple - they are doing that.  The more shots the better the odds that one will hit.  Looks like another attempt is going to happen this year whereas it won't be happening in Dallas (and maybe not in Detroit, KC, and even Baltimore).

 

If McD didn't make the post-season it would not be better for him, not at all.

I never suggested that. He should be outright canned if they missed the postseason.

 you're not understanding what I'm saying buddy 

 

There's no point in debating with you because I'm not saying I don't want better wide receivers 

 

This is a salary cap league and Josh has a 350 million contract... You can't have pro bowlers everywhere 

 

We do have a top three offensive line in the NFL.. I wouldn't trade that for the Bengals wide receivers because guess what Joe b is consistently hurt and on his back.. he also misses the playoffs 

 

We also just paid cook who's one of the best running backs in the NFL... 

 

You don't pay him to hand it off the ball to him 10 times a game... We're getting our money out of it... And he absolutely takes pressure off Josh 

 

You just go to a semantic like name one quarterback who would win the game against the Bengals lol the Bills score 28 points per game lol everybody around the league knows we can sneeze out 30 

 

If anything you're the one making excuses 

 

I am 100% certain this offense is good enough to win a Super bowl.. you need to be able to win in variety.. Josh Allen dropping back and throwing 40 times a game would not make this offense look better consistently 

 

We could win with Josh throwing 20 times.. and we could win with Josh throwing 35 times

 

If you go back 5 years ago we could not win a game without Josh Allen being Josh Allen.. we literally have won with Josh doing not much some games this year

 

You can't even compare the variety in our offense right now to four or five years ago... We were never winning a Super bowl with Devin singletary as our running back 

 

You're angry that Josh Allen went Superman? That doesn't mean our offense sucks and that he has to do it all the time like he used to... He used to have to put on the cape consistently for 60 minutes weekly... Singletary had six 100 yard games in 4 years... Josh consistently needed a cape 

 

James Cook has seven 100 yd games this season... Dude I'm sorry that takes immense pressure off of Josh throughout 17 game regular season.. now he puts the cape on when we need him not 60 minutes every game all season that's a huge difference

 

McDermott has this team playing very hard till the last whistle for him.. this team will not be an easy out in playoffs for anyone

McDs resume grows with every passing season. He’s shown me nothing to indicate this year will be any different from recent playoff failures. 

This is a recurring sentiment here, that the Bills have recently somehow been failures.  That there aren't good seasons unless a Superbowl is involved.

Coaches of 9-4 teams are of course notorious for requiring fall guys

See above, many posters now seemingly discount the regular season.  A season is considered by some a failure unless a Superbowl is involved.  And we're seeing this as good teams/coaches/QBs are struggling to get in this year.

He’s most definitely a good football coach. But he’s not winning a championship with the Buffalo Bills. You have to better than ‘good’ to win the Super Bowl. 

Meh. Pederson and Sirianni have rings and they’re barely “good”

[Aesop]

Seasons not even over and people already saying McD cant win a superbowl. Why even watch? Just play madden, simulate the seasons until the Bills win.

Do you think Devin McCourty is paid to stir the pot? I saw him on FNIA on Sunday talk about how Josh Allen is the only reason we make the playoffs every year, then when we inevitably lose he unduly takes all the blame on his shoulders. Like the supporting cast around him doesn't even deserve to be there, but the narrative becomes that Allen is playing on a Super Bowl caliber team and can't finish the job.

 

As I've said before Allen is a victim of his own success. He gets criticized for not winning playoff games that we have no right to even be in. His ridiculous and unsustainable caliber of play last year convinced his GM that the offense was perfectly fine without a lick of WR talent. He singlehandedly erases so many flaws with the coaching staff and the roster that it's almost impossible to evaluate the rest of the machine around him which means McDermott and Beane probably have lifetime contracts. I'm not sure that any one player in NFL history had the singular effect that Allen has had on the Bills. Not that he's the GOAT, that mantle still belongs to Tom Brady, but I do think he erases mistakes better than anybody else that came before him. McDermott and Beane's careers were absolutely built by Josh Allen, and I don't even mean that as a criticism of them it's just a fact. Hell I'm convinced our new stadium deal was built by him too.

 

It's a shame that this regime inexplicably chose to lean away from Allen's greatness in this 2nd window rebuild, but hopefully they've learned from the entirely predictable mistake and will pull a 180 in the coming offseason whether we win the Super Bowl or not.

Dude, Bruce Arians won a Super Bowl. 

If that's the logic we should trade Josh Allen for Trent Dilfer!

 

What are we even talking about here? 

 

Sure it can happen butttttt, there are certainly upgrades, and we can acknowledge things could be a loooooot better.  Biggest blunders have been his repeated refusal to hire successful coordinators.  Theres been a lot too.  Thats enough to can a guy alone IMO, without factoring in all the other elements.

 

I'd LOVEEEE to be wrong, but this team is a pretender 100%.  Please prove me wrong!!!

The hiring of both Dorsey and Brady was all about continuity (not making Josh learn a completely new system). The hiring of Frazier and Babich was all about getting coaches who would complement the McDermott defensive system. All of these hiring/promotions made sense. They may not have worked out perfectly but they made sense. 

Hard to care who, what or why he cant get the job done.  It's a binary question:

 

Can you win a SB or not?

 

We've been patient, Josh is 30, the NFL is terrible this year, and I do NOT believe in our chances this season.

The Buffalo Bills made the playoffs with tyrod Taylor and a worse roster lol Sean McDermott is very under appreciated here

 

The Chiefs are under 500 right now and they are not devoid of talent 

 

The league and coaches are paid a lot of money to catch up to the best teams... And the bills are still a step ahead

 

There is not one quarterback in NFL history who could take a three-win team and lead them to 12 or 13 wins consistently lol it literally is the ultimate team game 

 

5 years ago we couldn't win a game without Josh Allen putting on a Superman cape.. we literally have one games this year where he had to do very little... We've taken a lot of pressure off of Josh opposed to 5 years ago 

 

That's the biggest thing.. you see where teams peak in the first 6 weeks peak at 12 weeks .. this team is still not peaked yet which is good for playoff chances 

 

It is a lazy thing to say Josh Allen is propping up a three-win team lol we've beat the Chiefs five straight times in the regular season that takes coaching and talent

 

I don't believe we have a top three roster... But we're not a bottom 10 roster lol

 

PFF and ESPN had us both inside the top seven for roster talent... PFF has us 5th ... There are a lot of good football players on this team just not a lot of all pros outside of Josh
