Then find a monster 1 tech. A guy that blocks out the sun. Someone who's not Haynesworth. We've been rotating Jags @ 1T since McD took the job. And yes Ed Oliver has not played anywhere near his contract.

Oliver had 1 tackle and zero sacks against KC. @Kelly to Allen's idea of elite I guess is a little different?

Oh you mean the KC game 3 weeks ago where Rousseau had zero tackles and zero sacks....adorable @Kelly to Allen

McVey and Reid are worlds smarter than McD. Especially in tight late game scenarios. I think Sean could hang with Harbaugh, Tomlin & Campbell just based on our superior qb.

Yeah because come playoff time we're no longer playing crap qbs. These guys can undress McD's zone. Last night was comical. It was like Nacua was just toying with us. Does anyone really think Groot or Von are getting to Mahomes?

We should've called some variation of the pass/run option. That timeout absolutely cannot get burned. And our tush pushes lately are starting to get stopped. The Rams snuffed one earlier in the game. Brady/McD have to be smarter.

I've always hated Sean's bend don't break zone scheme. It's destined to fail if your front 4 can't do squat. I guess when you've failed to draft even 1 dominant pass rusher, you're forced to play constant rotations. Shuttling in "fresh" mediocre bodies.

McD hired Farwell then had to fire him. He hired Smiley and likely will fire him after the season. Maybe McD needs to take a course on hiring better employees?

I agree...we could drop to the 3 seed if Pittsburgh keeps winning. I cautiously was hoping Matt wouldn't have this much rest but I think alot of his tentative movements are mental. He's going thru the same crap Von & Tre had to deal with. Who knows what he'll look like at the start of the playoffs?

Our entire ST is a joke. Thank God Bass is making a few kicks but this dept. needs to be blown up next year.

....and if you think he has improved I don't know what to tell you.

We need larger, stronger game wrecking DT's who can push the pocket right into the face of the qb. We haven't had a great or elite DE since the day Josh was drafted. This is the same BS broken record since McD took over. His rotations simply put weaker, undersized players in the snap count pool. And as we saw yesterday, if you don't get pressure on the opposing qb, your zone will be easily destroyed. Mahomes finds easy cavities all day as did Stafford.

If I had a dollar for every time I've read this sentence. 🤣

Absolutely not. He's making the same stupid critical game management mistakes as he did in 2018. The only person who's drastically improved is the same guy who carries this team on his back and is 90% responsible for the games we win. Trust me @Augie I'm waiting for that proverbial light bulb to turn on like the rest of us.

Cool, let me do some math here. So McD has already coached 8 years. Josh is 28 so when Josh turns 40, they'll both win their first SB. Got it....

We should always just "get over" all his mistakes because as sure as the day is long, there will be more down the road. The problem with Sean is he doesn't learn from his mistakes. He doesn't get better at his job. I think the only people that need therapy are the lemmings that keep supporting him after moronic games.

Right now our ST is not that special. I don't think ST should be the underlying factor in whether a guy gets defensive snaps. This Elam narrative is so ridiculous. Start playing more man you stubborn goat McD and get Elam's ass in there.

If Pegula is comfortable with regular season continuity, then he'll never replace McD. Even if he knows in his heart that 90% of the success of this organization is because of Josh.

I have no faith in Sean's soft zone scheme. I have no faith in anyone on this roster getting to the qb. And I expect McD to continue to fail in drafting an elite pass rusher.

You guys are all assuming McD has the intelligence to activate such a strategy. That's a big ask?

Our zone is incredibly vulnerable. Factor in zero pass rush from our litany of Jags and Nacua was guaranteed to sit down in our zone and be wide open. Stafford wasn't pressured at all.

Exactly...nobody cares anymore about the 1 seed. The real elephant in the room is fans like myself terrified seeing stupid coaching about to enter another playoffs that Josh got us to.

I've counted at least 20x McDermott has made one of these moronic decisions as a Bills HC. How many more must be tolerated for the sake of culture. The only culture & process I see is stupidity from our coaches, starting at the top.

If you told me we were going to score 42 pts and Josh has 6 tds I'd probably say we win 99% of the time. Today I witnessed how incredibly vulnerable our defense is.
