The Buffalo Bills

Seems like pulling the pin on our own grenade is a recurring theme under this regime.

That last offensive possession was classic McDermott. Do the absolute precise thing at the wrong time to completely ruin your chances of winning the game. Passing and preserving the Texan timeouts...

We were again too predictable on offense at the worst times. I like how we fought back, but this is a big loss. If we lose to the Jets next week...

Cousins absolutely balled out and got the win. Josh is capable of having these kinds of games. Against Tampa's aggressive blitzing style, they masterfully demonstrated how to react to what the defense was doing.

One play doesn’t account for 35-10.

When you've got a guy in Josh at your disposal, you have to give him complete control of the offense whenever you face a team you absolutely can't stop. McDermott has never just trusted Josh to handle 100% of the playcalling duties. What are we paying him for but this? If only we had the right coaches in place for such things.

More Josh Allen when we win.

This is what should have been Pegula and Beane's reaction to what occurred: https://youtu.be/37SrQdIqKiU?si=tanGENoDmYNOIGsL

You can never coach "not to lose" We certainly have a top 5 franchise QB

It very well could have gotten worse, but it would have been a lot more entertaining if we had sped up the game as soon as we knew we couldn't stop the run.

It seems that nearly every time the experts start talking about us being an elite team, we have an inevitable crashing back down to 🌎. As a head coach, you have to realize very quickly that you have absolutely no answer for the opposing team running the ball and dominating the time of possession. The only answer to this reality is to score quickly whenever you possess the ball. McDermott has largely coached just well enough to sustain his job. We fans have witnessed countless performances in McDermott's tenure that have defied logic in terms of how well your QB performed and how the games ultimately turned out when it really mattered most. This was our first real test of a playoff atmosphere where a team at home needed a win. 35-10 the way we did it says everything to me. Theoretically, if a head coach would design the perfect QB to run a full no-huddle offense, who would that be? 🙄

I love your posts as always. I'm right there with you concerning how I feel now about our team losing the ways they have over the years. I'm one of the crazy fans who are of the mind that McDermott has reached his ceiling and that he's holding Josh and the team back in the worst ways at the worst possible times.

With our stacked roster and Josh as the franchise quarterback, there can only be limited excuses.
