Well you would think someone with those traits, would exhibit good judgment and mathematical skills at the end of games. Team organization and building appear to be much more difficult than simply managing a clock properly. Football 101 for anyone who has watched football. Much less played it their entire lives.

Add 0 turnovers. The record is 245-0. Well until yesterday anyways. Couple that with 13 seconds. McDermott is an enigma. Does virtually everything right as a coach on so many levels and then blows it all away in the final two minutes of close critical games.

I’m not disagreeing with your point about stopping them. But here again it is irrelevant who called the play, as McDermott alone chose to call the time out. McDermott has exercised poor judgment time and time again at critical junctures at the end of games. Especially in the playoffs. It doesn’t take some prophetic insight to know this will likely rear its ugly head come playoffs. The last 6 years have proven that. I’m not sure why anyone would think otherwise at this point.

It’s not about losing the number 1 seed. It’s about not learning from past mistakes. Come playoff time once again the bills will lose in the same fashion. All while our qb plays one of the best games in nfl history. That is the doom and gloom my friend. For the love of Christ how many times have we seen this movie.

Why he and some people on this board don’t get it is beyond infuriating.

“Cast Away” coaches?

It’s not that they lose. It’s how they lose. A blow out loss hurts much less, than games we have a real chance to win. Any time a coach costs you a real chance to win it’s a major let down. How many times do we have to see it. Smh.

And then we can start all over again.

Sorry misread

Respectively I have to disagree. Should have declined the penalty. 4th and 7 it would have been. Give them the fg. In a high scoring game like that Josh probably would have back doored them. With that being said mcveigh might have went for it anyway. But it may have compelled him to kick it. Who knows.

And that’s the problem. At some point Josh is going to lose faith in McDermott. If this happens it’s over. I feel bad for him. To watch him apologizing for his play during the press conference was infuriating to say the least.

His clock management at the end of the game costed us the opportunity to at least have a better chance of winning. 7 percent chance of onside recovery or 15 percent chance our defense stops them. Should have played the odds. I’m not saying the d would have stopped them. But McDermott is the head coach and highly vaulted as a defensive guru. The buck starts and stops with him. No scapegoat needed.

Problem is we have seen this movie so many times. Waiting for the customary playoff rerun.

Still waiting for his accountability from the 13 second coaching malfeasance.

No truer words have ever been spoken.
