The Jokeman

I'd thank Thurman Thomas and Bruce Smith more. Flip the teams and Marino might have won a Super Bowl for us as he was far superior to Kelly.

It's not his job to count players, it's the players playing ST, haven't you ever seen players do it on the field in the past? But I know blame the HC for everything just cuz.

and Homerun throwback should have never happened and the immaculate reception too for that matter. Sometimes plays happen and nothing a coach can do about it to stop it. I get people want to blame McDermott for his handling of it but at same time his players failed him. It was a team loss, I'm not blaming McDermott solely on it which some here want to.

Exactly change for changes sakes doesn't necessarily mean things will be better. We saw it when we moved away from Schwartz to Ryan's defense.

Mahomes played in the season finale of his rookie season.

As a team it can be beat anyone at it's best. It doesn't mean it's the best players or roster.

Gene Steratore not Brady praised the no call.

My question is if the refs called holding on 4th down and it makes it 4th and 10 does he go for the 1st again or kick the FG?

No. But you do need a defense that can make a stop or turn the ball over. Give me an above average defense with an average offense over the reverse any time.

My point being yes. McDermott botched the last 13 seconds which lead to a tie but he had no control of the coin flip. Also why do the players get a pass? That's all I'm saying.

So what offensive minded HC is going fix the defense?

And if we win the coin flip and score first does the 13 seconds matter?

It's a SB roster as when this team as it's best they're almost unbeatable. When they don't they can lose just like every other team and usually by one missed play. Yesterday that was the missed non false start penalty against the Rams.

You could play that game 100x and I'd imagine we'd win almost 90% of the time. McDermott played the odds in lost thanks to great play by 3 HOF caliber players in Mahomes, Hill and Kelce in those 13 seconds.

I'm just saying coaching and players can be blamed for losses as well as a coin flip. It's not only coaching.

And who's going to fix our "piss poor" defense? I'm saying this in jest but seriously. Everyone wants to bring in a great offensive mind but is it worth it at expense of defense? As yes the D was horrible yesterday but what DC do we get? As great as McVay was his D gave up more than ours did.

Injuries have killed us on D in the post season.

I agree but that isn't my point.

Point being if Bills win coin flip things may have ended differently.

Maybe keep him on PS and sign him to a futures contract in off-season and let Hamlin walk in UFA.

Cuz McDermotts coaching cost us a coin flip in 13 seconds game and he made Bass miss the FG last year? Yes. McDermott gets some blame but I can't blame him for everything.

Dan Marino made One Super Bowl in part he played on teams not good enough. His Dolphin teams never had a Bruce Smith or a Thurman Thomas nor a Terrell Davis. Is Don Shula to blame for that? Let's face it Pat Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Chris Jones are a better trio than just Josh. That said Kelce looks average this season and KC offense looks suspect and not sure they have the secondary that can match all of weapons. Yesterday makes us pause of the poor defensive play but it was an exception not a rule.

I agree keep Hyde off the field for now.

Problem is Bass hasn't been reliable so if he misses the kicker the game over right there. I agree with the time out after the missed TD on 1st down. That said think clock management inside 3 minutes angered me quite a bit.

He's been one of our weaker defenders all season. Yet he's a former 6th round pick. I'm more upset over invisible Oliver.
