Jordan Palmer. Had already has a great relationship with Josh.

True but that isn't saying much is it?

Not sure you are correct. Maybe it was a developmental process for both of them? Maybe he found a way to best utilize their strengths? It's always easy to criticize after the fact. For the most part, I thought Daboll was very good. I would have rather seen Frazier go and Daboll stay.

He's not starting material. He's proved that over time.

He's doomed for failure.

Lots of folks here will be happy to see Daboll gone.

He offers more to the team than just his return skills. He is a capable WR when others go down. He proved that this year. He is very good when running the ball on the misdirection play. Definitely keeps the defense honest. His speed is greatly needed on the team. He is a decent piece to the Bills offense. It would take a very very good draft choice to replace him. Also, would a similar pick up be just as expensive as keeping him?

Well said. I concur.

I think this is correct. I think there is little to no chance Bass wasn't told to kick it into the end zone. At the very least, you would have seen him getting his butt rimmed on the sidelines. This topic is really just an excuse to cover up the Bills coaching staffs collasal blunder. Don't be in denial. The coach blew the game in that 13 seconds span. It's clear and obvious. Why are so many making unfounded excuses? I like McD but it is what it is. I'm sure he just like us will be haunted by this collapse for generations.

All a bunch of hogwash. You can try to justify the inevitable all you want. It's not cutting it here. The fact remains the Bills coaching staff failed miserably in that 13 second span. That's putting it mildly. You can twist,turn, deflect, and spin all you want. I'm not about to excuse how incompetent the coaching staff was in that 13 seconds. They ripped the hearts out of the fans and players. So badly, that Coach McD can't even explain himself or his decisions. Why? Because you can't make Shi#t smell like ice cream. In time, this game will go down as one of the worst last second coaching decisions in NFL history. It's not like the Bill's lost on a fluke hail mary, a Franco Harris type play, or an Odel type catch. Nope nope nope. To add insult to injury the Bill's coaching staff called 2 timeouts to get it right. Seriously??? Yet, you don't wanna hear it just like many on here. Instead you attack the media, their character, point to past irrelevant games, etc...Just say it and admit it. The Bills coaching staff blew the game in a 13 second span. There is no other way a knowledgeable football fan can conclude otherwise.

True it was an epic fail by the defense. However, it was an epuc fail to kick it in the end zone too. That kick can't elapse any time off the clock which was critical. Whether a squib or high kicked would have almost certainly done is take valuable time off the clock. A highly effective one may have taken off 4, 5, or 6 seconds. The risk reward says you don't kick it in the end zone.

What does that have to do with the validity of what he's saying about Coach McD collasal 13 second collapse in which he used 2 time outs to get it right. Couldn't agree with this more. Spot on.

Michael Lombardi on the NFL network just lambasted McDermott for the final 13 seconds of the Chiefs game. He blew it!!!!!!! Should it be a Scott Norwood lesson? Should McDermotts's mistakes are unforgivable? We had KC beat at home until the coaching incompetence took over the last 13 seconds. They even took two time outs to boot. Unbelievable. We fans should be outraged.

Agree 100 % with you and Sullivan. Spot on and brutally fair. It's totally accurate. Just because you don't like him or what he said doesn't make it inaccurate. Fangio please. The guy is a great defensive coordinator. Instant upgrade from Frazier. Fraizer's time has passed.

Bring in Fangio. That would be an instant upgrade.

Hardly a compensation for the loss. Kind of like thinking you won a million dollars in the lottery only to find out you won $100. I hope you are right. The future clearly looks promising. I'm just tired of "wait til next year." This was the year. I don't think any team left could have stopped Allen. His level of play was that good!!!!!!

That's what happened for sure. However, that only tells half of the story. Talk about how it happened? The Bills defensive strategy? Did Kelce run free off the line of scrimmage unblemished? Did Hill catch a ball in a prevent like defense for 20 yards? Did you like the kick into the end zone? Do you think the Bills coaching staff blew the game in that second span? Did you think their special teams and defensive scheme was solid? Would love to hear your input. Was it poor execution like the coach said? What's that mean? Imho, any knowledgeable football can only conclude one thing. The Bills coaching gift wrapped a present to the Chiefs. All the Chiefs had to do was open the gift up.

i believe there are so many people speaking on the topic out of disgust. It's a way of venting for many. The anger is real because the coaching incompetence in a 13 sec span is inexplicable. It's the elephant in the room. Almost feels like we the fans have been cheated out of a great chance to win the super bowl.

100% agree. I really like Coach McDermott but he absolutely cost the Bills the game in 13 seconds. There really is no other way to put it. If he worked in another profession his gross incompetence would have resulted in him being fired. I'm not advocating this but my anger towards the coaching staff will linger for a long long time. Signed by Andy Reid. He says thanks for the gift...

I think the failure was both the defense and the kick into the end zone. The kick absolutely had no chance to move the clock. The failure to try to take seconds off the clock was a very poor decision. The defense they played was atrocious. I don't know how anyone can support the Bills defensive plays. Epic failure on the Bills that will haunt its fans for years to come.

I just listened to Jim Kelly being interviewed by Mike Greenberg on the radio. Kelly flat out said as an opposing QB looking at the Bills defense in the last 13 seconds he knew he would have a great chance to get his team into field goal range. Stated as a QB in that situation you don't want to face a "normal type" defense with pass rushers. He couldn't be more right. Without saying it overtly he pretty much said the Bills prevent defense blew it.

I get that. Here is my take. Of course there is a risk of kicking a returnable ball. That's a given. However, in this situation the clock was our best friend and the Chiefs worst enemy. Imho, the top priority was to burn as much time off the clock as possible before getting the ball in Mahomes hands. One less play for Mahomes would have been huge. No way should he had the opportunity to have another play especially in this game. It's Mahomes and he was on fire. A kick into the end zone never gives the Bill's a chance to diminish the clock. That's it in a nutshell. I can live with the risk of a good run back or a poor kick that gives them good field position. A very good executed kick could have easily taken 3 to 5 seconds of the clock. The risk reward was clearly in favor of squib or high kicking the ball to the 5 or 10 yard line. Imho, the kick in the end zone was a collasal mistake. You have to trust your kicker and special teams to execute the play especially when the defense was getting shredded by Mahomes. When Mahomes went under center at the 25 yard line with 3 time outs and 13 seconds I never felt comfortable. Couldn't you feel that they were going to have a decent chance to tie the game? I could especially the way the game playing out. Hindsight is 20 20. It's easy after the fact.

No Thanks. We need to invest in the Oline and lb because Edmunds blows. CB as well. We don't need Ridley. Davis, Diggs, Knox, is very good.

For me, in real time I did not like the kick into the end zone. Imho, kicking it into the end zone was the incorrect call. The crucial point was burning seconds off the clock! The kick into the end zone couldnt accomplish this. The risk reward imho was much greater by squib kicking it or a high floater kick to about the 10 yard line. Question that I haven't seen addressed. Do you think the Chief player would have tried to run back the ball? What would have been the Chiefs strategy? I'm sure they wanted three plays for Mahomes. A high floater to the 10 or 15 yard line leaves the Chiefs return man in a difficult decision. Run it, fair catch it, run it a little and then take a knee, etc...Point being the clock was our friend and the kick into end zone didn't move it one second. Maybe I'm wrong...

Great post. Thanks.
