There were three big defensive series where we needed a stop, and they gave up two long TD drives and the game-winning FG on said series. They always, always, fail to step up in big moments.
He's also reactive and plays not to lose, and it's created this atmosphere where the team turtles in big moments because they have no moxie or swagger whatsoever.
They're soft and have zero edge. But what's important is that they are all good friends and make social media videos together and have pizza night at each other's houses.
Many Bills fans like having a perennial playoff team and see a SB win as a nice bonus rather than the only ultimately satisfying outcome. Weird, but that is a actual viewpoint from some in this fanbase.
I honestly don't even know how much say in the gameplan someone like Babich even has. I mean, doesn't the defense looks EXACTLY the same every year, regardless of who the DC is? What's the common denominator?
It is just unreal how few times a McDermott defense can come up with a big stop. Letdown after letdown after letdown. It is NEVER going to change either.
