Chaos

Its not a point. The original post is just facts.

He has had a good impact on the franchise. My concern is that he is the Kirk Cousins of coaches. Better than obvious replacements, but not likely to win a championship.

I think its funny that people thumbs down or puke on the first post in the thread which expresses no opinions and simply lists out a series of facts. A lot of people don't like facts. In his current tenure Andy Reid got his first super bowl appearance quite early. Chiefs fans did not wait long.

This could be right. On the other hand a good percentage of the last several super bowls have been coaches new to their teams (McVay, Reid, Shanahan, Taylor). I do not think he ever did. Which is why I gave Mcdermott the plus sign designation in Marvin Lewis + . Norv Turner on the Chargers might be a better comp.

He seems on pass to be Marvin Lewis +

Just praising the Bills fans for their patience.

Only five NFL HC's have been with their current NFL teams longer than Sean McDermott. Andy Ried, Bill Bellichek, Pete Carrol, John Harbaugh Mike Tomlin All have Super Bowl wins. And multiple appearances. Head coaches with shorter tenures and super bowl appearances include Sean McVay (hired same year as McDermott) Kyle Shanahan (hired same year as McDermott) Zac Taylor As an aside here are coaches with wins against Sean McDermott's AFC East Third Place team in 2022 Mike McDaniel (rookie) Kevin O'Connell (rookie) Robert Saleh (second year) Bills fans are the most patient. In almost every other NFL fanbase Mr. McDermott would be "on the hot seat"

McD is ignoring the critical advise from Tropic Thunder. Never go full ######. This confirms that McD does not actually see himself as accountable for the Bills stumbles. He really is a passive agressive finger pointing kind of guy.

I agree. You don't understand.

Here is why people are disappointed to some degree with McDermott: Current QBs with Super Bowl Appearances in NO PARTICULAR ORDER 1)Tom Brady 2)Aaron Rodgers 3)Patrick Mahomes 4)Matthew Stafford 5)Joe Burrows 6)Jimmy G. 7)Matt Ryan 8)Russell Wilson QBs without super bowl appearances IN ORDER OF TALENT LEVEL 1) Josh Allen 2) Everyone else McDermott has done less with more at the QB position than any other current NFL coach. When you drill down through all the pros and cons for Coach McDermott it boils down to this. Expectations are high. People expect him to deliver to these high expectations and so far he has not.

Seems like the best thing to do is to fire the guys who win one, since the never repeat. We are blessed to have a guy who has never won one. Did I get this right?

Yes because this is soccer and every score counts as 1. 13 points in meaningfully different than 10 points. Its just stupid to argue otherwise.

Will be Beane be placed on one of the least profitable teams, like Polian was, for this exercise. Beane has a level playing field. Polian was a big financial disadvantage

Clearly Allen and Dorsey have a close relationship. I am starting to wonder if Allen issues don't come in two flavors of Dorsey problems. One, Dorsey not be up to the task of being an NFL OC, and two Allen not having full time access to Ken Dorsey as QB Coach.

and burn five seconds, and throw it away, or gain the yards needed to take a knee. rinse repeat. Then take the safety if needed on fourth down.

The manner of losing is pretty unique The bills have more famous late game losing failures than the rest of the NFL combined

It was not hindsight. It was a blunder to risk the turnover there. I said it before the play in shoutbox. Total coaching blunder

That play should have been run out of the shot gun. Allen can run for space, or throw it away and take a few seconds off the clock. two more times to take time off the clock, then take the safety.

Its coaching purgatory. He is better than half of the NFL Head Coaches. Just like Derek Carr has been better than than half of the QBs in the NFL most of his career.

The fact that this thread can be legitimately resurrected every couple of weeks is troubling. McDermott is a choker. And the entire team is starting to reflect its head coach.

Are you wishfully thinking that Allen is injured, and the Bill's notoriusly conservative medical staff has lost its mind?

you seem to miss the point. Allen at 80% is also better than Keenum at 100%. Injury risk is a binary decision. He either is at higher risk, or he is not. If it is higher risk, you don't put him in to sub.

Thank you for this super helpful reply.

Both losses this year can be fairly described as chokes. The 13 second debacle that ended last season is literally the NFL choke of all time. Its not just last week.
