I think it's because Allen might reverse course and then Dawkins can pick up a guy as the scrambles...

I would fire the head coach. Many reasons. 1. He is a defensive head coach, yet his defenses are never great, especially in big moments. All that investment in DL over the years and they consistently get no pressure. This isn't "golly, injuries got us" this is a 9 year problem. The Bills defense should look like the Houston defense: everyone locked down, constant pressure from all over, physical, nasty. We have just not seen that much, if at all, over the years. So what's the point of having a HC who sees the game through a defensive point of view? 2. Once Brady is fired (an inevitability at this point) he will be hiring his 5th OC. All but Daboll were fired, and that is with Josh Allen as the QB. That should be a pipeline to a HC job, not to being fired because the offense is weak. Why is the offense bad? Because the HC sets the tone for what he wants: low event football. We even worked the clock during our last drive last night. He didn't like Daboll because Daboll was all about high event football. So what if we turn it over twice? We're till going to score 35-40, so it won't matter. This is the opposite of what McDermott prefers. Yes, he is ok with it when it's "needed" (Tampa Bay game last week) but it isn't a way he wants to play. 3. He has had 7 complete seasons of Allen, and this is #8. This team does not look like its going anywhere. So 8 seasons of an all time great QB, with nothing to show for it. Not even a SB berth, let alone win. Meanwhile I've seen Hurts play in 2, winning one vs KC in a blowout. 4. Here's the kicker: at this point, every single season feels and looks the same: Decent start midseason slump constant defensive injuries (partly due to scheme, partly due to having 225 lb LBers and older guys) consistently having to bring back previous players during the season because new guys are either unable to learn the scheme or just aren't good enough "Allen looks miserable" stories Offensive struggles loss in the playoffs, usually to KC So, it stands to reason that having had 8 years of the McDermott Show why would anyone expect year 9, 10, or 11 to be the one where his team breaks through? Given almost a decade of evidence, it's almost assured that 2026 would be some version of whatever went before. Same with 2027. When is it enough? Giving McDermott the chance to hire a 5th OC (who will almost definitely be an on staff promotion) is literally insane. We've seen that too! Here's how it goes: Early on: This guy is great! What an upgrade! I hope we don't lose him to a HC job... Middle: This offense is too predictable... End stages: "Allen looks miserable"... the offense is one dimensional.. not enough weapons... Enough is enough, but as I type this I realize one terrible truth: There is ZERO and I mean ZERO chance McDermott is let go. Not this year, not next, and not the one after that. Likely the same with Beane, unless the other part owners make enough noise behind the scenes that McDermott feels the need to sperate himself from Beane and throw him under the bus (which Beane also deserves to go, don't get me wrong).

Get ready for the "Golly, you could do worse... I seem to remember the drought!" arguments. The fact that we're having those arguments shows that this build didn't get the job done. Giving McDermott another 2-3 years accomplishes nothing. They should fire Beane today but I get waiting until the season plays out. It would be pretty dumb to fire your GM then the team makes it to the Super Bowl. I get that. But the day our season ends assuming it's not a deep playoff run he needs to be let go. McDermott is the guy who sets the tone, wants a certain kind of offense (which is why he and Daboll didn't get along) and has fired coordinator after coordinator during his time here. The buck stops with him. Do we really expect yet another OC (who will almost certainly just be promoted from within) to be different in any kind of meaningful way? Imagine having an all-time great QB yet every one of his OCs gets fired. Not leaves for HC jobs. Fired. Because the offense cannot pass the ball with that QB .

Close to zero chance McDermott is fired. Maybe 50/50 that Beane goes though. The owner will want to be talked into the idea of keeping McDermott at least, so that might be the route. IF there is a change Daboll will be HC. Pegula loves him as does Josh.

MVP all world QB and yet 2 OCs in a row get fired? That doesn't compute. It's the HC

I honestly had the same thought... Huge moment in the game and Josh is goofing around in a Christmas sweater. He could have been spending the commercial break talking strategy with coaches, hyping up his teammates, anything else really

Can you ever remember a time where a top 3 MVP QB had not one but 2 OC in a row fired? There are bigger problems

That defense is Super Bowl level

Bills want to burn the entire clock

26-23 coming up. Everyone knows it.

Luckily Houston doesn't have a good offense. We'll get the ball back down 4 and win at the end.

So we're going to win 26-23

This game isn't over. We'll come back and win. Texans left the door open for heartbreak

Thank God Houston has an awful offense

That is not ideal

Good Lord this game is going to go til 1AM at this point

It truly is...

Hairston down....

I wish all the money picks and resources we spent on DL showed up like the Texans DL

Walker ran him down!

We are Santa's elves....

Ok enough messing around.

For crying out loud we're down 4 McDermott will make adjustments, offense will make some plays and we'll win. 8-3. 1 game back of the great Drake Maye

Good Lord it's 10-9 I think we're being a little over the top about the D

Jordan Phillips looks small next to Walker
