Side note: THANK YOU McD for getting the most out of what we have.
We have a TERRIFIC head coach. Shameful the flack this guy sometimes gets from some of this uninformed, not-understanding football, fan base.
We are LUCKY to have him.
During the regular season you would be correct.

Minor miracle we are only stuck 7 at halftime.

Sorry I edited it. I meant that’s what I would sign him for

4 years 48.4. I wouldn’t sign him for anything more than 12 a year.

We have Josh Allen and one of the three best offensive lines in football. The receiving talent is more than adequate, despite the lack of a clear no 1. Defense looks at least as good as last year. Schedule looks hard, but one never knows how that will work out. No reason to expect less than 11 wins.
Gotta disagree with you on that one.

Cause the board is mentally weak and defends its tender ego by constantly lashing out and blaming everything on a coach or player. They claim they want success yet define it solely based on winning a SB. They only see negative instead of enjoying some football during one of our most talented and successful stretches of years. Then lash out against anyone who chooses to see he good in the team as Reese glasses or homers. Deeply hurt tough guy routine.
Can we get to some AFC championship games? Maybe have a Super Bowl appearance? Anything other than that with a qb like Josh Allen is to say the least disappointing. Losing with 13 seconds left, fake punts at your 30 yd line in the 3rd quarter in a one score game last year. Blame has to go somewhere. It appears you and I have very different measures of defining success. Early playoff exits, at least to me is not one of them.

Allen is going to have more rushing TDs than OJ by the time the new stadium is built. Probably have more than Thomas also by then. Oh, and he’ll likely be 3rd in all time rushing yards by a Bill by the end of his career. He’ll likely have more passing yards than Jim Kelly in 3 years and he’ll probably have more passing TDs between 2-3 years.
I can’t say anything bad about Bruce. He WAS the best Bill of all time. But Allen will put up historical TD numbers in his career and by the time it’s all said and done, it won’t even be a question as to who the best Bill of all time is.
If he can stay healthy, I see no lies here. Bruce and Josh are my favorite players to ever wear a Bills jersey.

It means you have an opinion? But that opinion is no more true than anyone else's, and nobody really has the data to back a given position up, either.
All coaches have shortcomings and make mistakes, and winning vs. losing a given game dramatically affects the level of scrutiny a coach will fall under (even if the winning head coach made more head coaching mistakes during the game). McDermott has had some very visible errors that have led to losses in the playoffs, but there have also been some pretty outlandish circumstances (Texans game, for example) and discrepancies in player performance (last year's Chiefs game). Reid is now a HoF-bound coach, but he was long considered a choker that couldn't handle the big game. The Manning/Coughlin Giants were middling teams that got hot/lucky at the right times with good enough position group matchups to take down the GOAT dynasty twice. The whole thing is just kind of a crapshoot, so any given opinion on the matter is just our own howling into the void.
Fair enough. You make some good points. I think you have more patience than I do. The hard part is having the wisdom to stay the course or blow it up and move in a different direction. Hopefully you will be right and Sean will lead us to the promised land.

Except those "hard truths" are always something like "Beane is a bad GM," "McDermott is a failure of a coach wasting Josh Allen's career," "The Bills are going to struggle to move the ball at all," "The Bills will go 7-10 and miss the playoffs," etc.
And the kicker is that the objective data we have available to try to evaluate the potential truth of these subjective statements is, without fail, mixed or antithetical to those "hard truths" being doomed around the board.
The ACTUAL hard truth is that the Bills are by all reasonable estimations a well-run football organization and one of the most objectively successful teams not named the Chiefs for the past five years, and that winning a Superbowl is really, really hard when you have to go through a dynasty in your conference to even get to the big game in the first place.
I don’t disagree with a lot of what you said. However there is enough anecdotal evidence to suggest that McDermott has had his fair of shortcoming's, primarily come playoff time. I think McDermott is a fantastic coach during the regular season, a phenomenal culture builder, and a true professional. With that being said, I also believe that he is not the one to lead us to the Superbowl. Does that make me a pessimist? At some point, something has to give. Repeated playoff futility or being thrilled about being on a “run” and being relevant again.

I would say so, yes.
And that’s the double edged sword. Objectively pointing out some hard truths, automatically qualifies one as being pessimistic. At least on this board anyways. Homerism would probably be the correct term to describe many posters. I get it people love the Bills. Some of us love the Bill too, but will never blindly make excuses or not criticize blatant mistakes.

So are people who choose to ignore the bills shortcomings ignorant?

It’s only pre-season, but damn you would think that some of these bubble guys would be playing with a little sense of urgency. Everyone just looks flat going through the motion.

I think that's very optimistic tbh
considering we very nearly missed the playoffs this past yr w a better roster
I feel the same way. I hope everyone else is right. Because if they do not make the playoffs there are going to be a lot of upset people.

Right?
for a defensive “guru” he sure has a terrible defense in the playoffs EVERY SINGLE YEAR. But apparently I’m an idiot because I don’t know how to cover Travis Kelce. Well, he doesn’t either so I guess he’s no better than me. That’s it, I’m coaching the team this year.
Can I be your assistant? I promise I will not call a fake punt at our 30 yd line utilizing Damar Hamlin.

Yeah, he’s got the 2nd most wins in the last 5 years behind only Andy Reid, he’s won the AFCE 4 years in a row and he has the best winning percentage in franchise history. That gets you a smoldering hot seat? I think thought beats emotion in terms of outcomes. My Big Picture with no anger says we are in good hands.
The “fire the bum” crowd are delusional about how hard it is to do better. I prefer to let him keep doing a great job, and getting better every year. It took Andy Reid a while too.
Regular season champs. Great I guess. McDermott is not horrible or a bum. His in game coaching decisions especially in the playoffs at critical junctures vs. other well coached teams leaves a lot to be desired. I would also counter that many average head coaches would have an outstanding record with josh allen as their qb. Is McDermott the one to take us to a Super Bowl or afc championship game moving forward? I’m skeptical. I also take issue with the quote “and getting better every year”. I see the same coach with same philosophy making critical mistakes in high pressure situations during the playoffs. I’m glad the bills are relevant, however how much of that is because of josh and beane. 13 second ridiculous, fake punts at your thirty in 3rd quarter with score 20-17. Absurd. Up 13-0 vs Houston only to blow it. Totally pushed around by Cincy at home. I’m just not a fan of his at all. I respect your opinion though.

The good - turned around the franchise along with Beane to end the 17-year playoff drought. Lots of successful winning seasons as 6 playoff appearances in 7 years prove.
The bad - Zero Super Bowl championships along with zero Super Bowl appearances.
At some point his seat "should" get hot despite the regular season success. I just don't know if Terry will make the change.
You forgot to add 1 afc championship game appearance. Which he single handily blew. The seat should have been smoldering hot that very day.

Wow!! 95 % polled expect Allen’s stats to be every bit as good or better. In what world does a qb who loses both of his starting wrs have better stats. I hope all of you are right. I love Kincaid and shakir. Not sure about the rest of them.

No. But we shouldn’t expect divisional playoff losses every year either.
