‘McDermott has learned from the things that have gone wrong while managing the clock in tight situations. If you’re a pessimist, you’re likely to believe that the head coach is destined to turtle again in the biggest moments, because the reality is, that’s what he’s done. I’m filibustering a bit on this answer, because I’m genuinely not sure. Until McDermott shows he’s capable of rising to the moment, it’s entirely fair to be skeptical. If the Bills flame out in the playoffs again and the coach’s clock management contributes to the loss, the sentiment that he will never be able to get the team over the hump will only intensify.’
