Josh sounds absolutely broken in his presser. Full tears

Yep, I have been off McD for years. He can’t win it all. He was a bonehead today on the first 3 and 11 when they had Nix reeling and went to the “Leslie Zone” and let them back get the first down. McD knows it’s getting old, that’s why the puff piece on the Athletic. He is trying to get as much positive PR for when he is looking for a new job. He is on the same trajectory at Reed was in Philly. 

Like I said abf, McDermott has too much power.

 

@BADOLBILZ told us before the season started that where were to be seeded did matter alot in this and previous years. He also told us that our wide receiver group was sub-par. Of course, he was right as usual so (imo) it comes down to: who do we blame. Beane, McDermott, or both?  I lean towards blaming McDermott the most but again, this is jmo.

Did you see his post game presser????

At the same as Allen not coming through with the ball in his hands. this is very VERY true. 

The other team had the ball then. And as usual gives up a TD and with 55 SECONDS left Josh brings us down to force OT

This. He’s basically Pegula’s son. He needs to get in his office and tell Terry that Beane isn’t putting a competitive team around him. 

That will help his fumbling how?

This argument is short sighted and tired. He didn’t have his best game, but they scored 30. This year, defense gives up 33. Last season defense gives up 30+ to a KC team that hadn’t scored 30 all season. Season before, the ONLY reason the Bills were even it it was because Allen was nearly perfect slow rolling the offense with a defense that was getting LIT UP all game, and the Bass shanks a makeable FG after Dawkins but Jones in Allen’s lap. At what point in your mind is it on the defense to not make him play a PERFECT ####### GAME in order for this team to win in the playoffs. 

Dude they were showing statistics all game for playoffs and turnovers 

 

We had one turnover that we created we gave up four 

 

Any team that has four turnovers in an NFL game is 90 plus percent like leader lose the game 

 

Josh technically had three of them 

 

He could be the best player in the world and the reason we were close.. but if he didn't cough the ball up the bills win

 

Cook had one turnover he had three turnovers.. our two best players had four turnovers 

 

That's an unobjective fact

[MrEpsYtown]

I think I said this last year, and they found a way. I just don’t know how you recover from this. Like either Josh is done and confidence shattered or he’s gonna destroy the league next year. 
 

But, Sean Payton put his mediocre qb, who played horrible, in great situations throughout the game, easy reads etc etc. Josh needs someone to do that for him. I feel for the guy. It actually is his fault this time, but it’s still the result of the situation that he is in.

Also in general McD definitely has some say on who he thinks Beane should draft and sign whereas Beane doesn’t have anything to do with how McD develops and deploys said players.

I agree and fwiw, I don't think that McDermott is a terrible field general. I just think that his focus is on defense (primarily corners) and he is far less concerned about getting weapons for the best player in the NFL. 

It's rather sickening tbh.

They really just need one. They need a #1 WR. Shakir and Kincaid are already good complementary pieces and Cook is obviously a weapon.

Exactly. The depth isn’t as huge an issue. They need one very good-great, complete WR. 

[ToGoGo]

Josh needs to accept it’s rigged. He’s the greatest player I’ve ever seen. Who knows what’s really going on in that bizarro world NFL playoffs.

They are a package deal for me. Both need to go.

So what?  Every other elite quarteback in history had off days and their team still won.  I am done expecting perfection from him.   Get some blue chip talent on the team and get him over the hump.  Even today, with his errors, I am not going to harp on the negative.  Guys like Big Ben and Eli Manning have won multiple times and have thrown plenty of bad passes along the way.  

 

He needs more help, but he needs to play better than he did today. This isn't like the other losses. If he doesn't make the big mistakes today the Bills win. Now if Cooks catches the ball they win too. If they are able to make a stop on D at the end they win. But Josh is as culpable as the other bits this time.

He needs to go talk to Pegula ASAP!!!

That is the only way. He has done all he can and he isn't stupid. Why do you think he was in tears? If he doesn't give an ultimatum to Terry, Nothing changes

yea carrying a team on a broken foot, and still showing signs of the hand injury (noticed him shaking it out a few times) and after 18 games of carrying the load and once in the hole with very little in the way of tools. 
 

he didn’t play to his ceiling but even at his floor he could’ve won today with viable weapons on the perimeter 

 

There is not and never has been any question he needs more help.

He wasn't good today and nobody can argue otherwise. Despite his mistakes today he did manage to get the lead for us in the 4th quarter. Why cant the defense ever make a game changing play in a big spot. Plenty of blame to go all around.

They did……they forced a punt in OT

He sucked.  Love him lots but he sucked.

Are you ****** kidding me? Yeah he had a bad game, but virtually one one other than Cook did ANYTHING tonight.  Maybe he does need to go in and demand a trade. To get away from this clown show and from fans like you

[HamptonBillsfan]

He gives everything and wants to win for the team and the fans. It’s a credit to his greatness that he can have 5 TOS and be in position to win if another player makes a play. Cooks and Hardman could have given us the game. Josh had a bad game but sometimes you would think another player is a difference maker. Josh feels responsible for every loss because he gets the credit for the wins.

He needs to be coached harder

I don't know if this is said in jest or not but there is truth to it.

 

That decision to randomly pitch the ball away and create an unnecessary turnover in Denver territory before the half turned out to be the game

 

I defend a lot of his shortcomings but he still tends to make a lot of questionable decisions in crucial moments. 

 

That could be attributed to coaching (in some capacity) even if the decisions made ultimately fall on the player.

This is true. Any other QB and five TOs would be the immediate killer. Josh can have them against the offense and still put up 30 against a very good defensive team.
