McDermott deserves a lot of heat for 13 seconds. And I do mean a LOT.
But let’s also be honest about the rest. I hardly blame him for any playoff exit beside that one. Last year? He almost put together a gameplan that beat the Chiefs while being SEVERELY undermanned. To say he is a bad game manager, to me, was eliminated that day…in a loss none the less.
The bottom line is McDermott has been blessed with one of the great QB’s of our generation. But so has Andy Reid. Andy Reid is also a great coach. The Bills have always been just a hair behind the Chiefs who have 3 SB titles. That how close we are. Just a hair behind one of the great teams of all time.
I’m far from ready to say goodbye to McDermott. Even this season with a playoff exit. He has this team close in a clear transition year. The guy is pure class and one hell of a coach. And I’m not always easy on him.
