Chaos

Why do you love Josh Allen being the Bills QB? Complete push. No negative options. Feel free to cluelessly B word about Josh Allen in the comments though. Multiple Choice question. Please pick all that apply.

no

There may be some truth in this. But I think it is less "flustered" and more that he is dissembling throughout the press confernce and everyone knows it, and it is very awkard to watch/listen to someone doing that.

Please correct your post. What you claim is a quote from me is not.

This is not true at all. Every coaching decision has been correct. Every problem the last six seasons is one of execution. Please pay better attention to the McDermott pressers.

Coach McDermott provides plenty of fun time for all the players. In fact there is a whole process sub-culture just for fun. (Soon the Bills will even have a process sub-culture for offense). No coach in NFL history has ever been more easy going or jovial. The don't need no McKenzies.

Josh is over 70% pass completion percentage. Clearly he is already throwing high percentage passing plays. His confidence is fine. http://www.teambarfinder.com/philadelphia-eagles-bars/

I have posted this exact question several times. Typically mocked. Another variation, is can we just hire some math genious from Cal Tech, to figure out all of the optimal time out call situations based on score, clock and simply be in charge of clock management. It is mentally deficient to seemingly "go by gut instinct" in crunch time.

Saying this doesn't make it true. The steady downward result arc since the 13 seconds choke, in the AFC championship game provides strong evidence that if he has not plateued, the arc is downward, not upward.

Not every coach quits on his team due injuries to stars though. There are some interesting unexpected results sometimes

It’s not obvious. What is obvious is only the 30-60 seconds per game the production crews choose to show of Allen on the sidelines

Yes. it would be stupid. But yes

He has always had a fairly obnoxious passive aggressive style. He makes these veiled comments, so that people he is shifting blame to can’t respond.

If any of the players on the team are too tightly wound due to coaching, I think one of the places Mr. McDermott needs to look is in a mirror.

In the NFL, DBs would be trained to simply run down and tackle any reciever that got open by them past 15 yards. That would be a mess. The spot foul is am important and reasonable penalty in intentional PI situations.

NFL needs to consider two levels of PI, incidental, and intentional, with incidental being treated like defensive holding.

are we going to have another cancelled game this year?

so NFL isn't mad about the whole dog thing any more?

half the stories are about teams pulling out wins. the other half are teams choking away games.

Are you sure this is true.

It seems as though McDermott wants to run an offense that someone with Kirk Cousin's skill set works with. He has no imagination on how to use Allen's considerable skills. Its a complete mismatch between Allen and McDermott.

to be fair I am pretty certain he is not a tator.

So do you bring back McDermott in perpetuity?

This seems right. But it begs the question. Why do you or any fan need to "suspect" this. Are the Bills faced with some competetive disadvantage if McDermott was to come out and say 1) "Joe has the reigns, and he has the vision to bring the season back on track" or 2) "I have a vision for the offense, and I think Joe is the best guy to execute this vision" ?

I should add, I expect the arc of happiness/concern with McDermott I described above is actually pretty close to the most common fan experience. There are two categorites of extreme views that I think capture the perspective of a number of posters. (Even though both are extreme and polar opposites and different from my perspecive they are both reasonable sports fans perspectives. Lifetime achievement award for ending the playoff drought. The football season regular season plus playoff is 21 games. For this category of fan, as long as Coach McDermott is bringing a good show for 19 of those 21 weeks, they are happy and would rather not "risk" a return to the drought. Ricky Bobby "If your not first, your last, fans". These fans do not want to consider any measure of success other than winning the Super Bowl. Once they are convinced Coach McDermott will not win a Super Bowl with the Bills they want him gone. Most of this group of fans has reached this point. There is also a third group of fans. I lean into this group quite a bit. Are we "wasting" Josh Allens career. If Allen never wins a super bowl, he will join Dan Marino and Jim Kelly as 3 members of the Mount Rushmore of "greatest QBs to never win a super bowl". To add perspective, the next group of names to fill out the fourth spot is Fran Tarkenton, Dan Fouts and Warren Moon. All of whom are a substantial notch below the first three. From a sports perspective Allen never getting that win would be very sad. Your mismatch comment indicates you are in this category. As insane as it sounds, if the Bills don't advance to the Super Bowl this year, I think the Bills should either change the Head Coach or trade Allen to a team that can better use him. He would generate quite a haul. Except for McCafferty's age, the ideal trade for a retained Coach McDermott would be for Brock Purdy, Christian Mcafferty, one of the niners Linebackers and a couple of the extra second and third round draft picks the niners have stock piled. I think Shanahan would love the chance to coach a QB like Allen.
