Mcdermott’s defense continues to be an integral reason we have won two playoff games and are playing in Arrowhead Sunday night. We have now won the wild card and divisional round without Josh needing to be Superman. Something many have said was impossible given McDs limitations. His soft Nickel refusing to adjust choking defensive facts from the Ravens game: -The Bills blitzed Jackson on 15 of 31 dropbacks (48.4%), their 5th-highest blitz rate in a game under Sean McDermott and highest in a game since Week 15, 2021. -The Bills defense played man coverage on 46.7% of pass plays in the first half, the unit's highest rate since Week 12, 2022. -Bills played 3 LBs 33.3% of the plays last night. We saw several plays with Dorian as the Sam linebacker ON the line of scrimmage. -Derrick Henry 84 yards rushing. Lamar Jackson 39 yards rushing.

Bumping this for the h8ers as Mcdermott’s defense continues to be an integral reason we have won two playoff games and are playing in Arrowhead Sunday night. We have now won the wild card and divisional round without Josh needing to be Superman. Something many have said was impossible given McDs limitations. His soft Nickel refusing to adjust choking defensive facts from the Ravens game: -The Bills blitzed Jackson on 15 of 31 dropbacks (48.4%), their 5th-highest blitz rate in a game under Sean McDermott and highest in a game since Week 15, 2021. -The Bills defense played man coverage on 46.7% of pass plays in the first half, the unit's highest rate since Week 12, 2022. -Bills played 3 LBs 33.3% of the plays last night. We saw several plays with Dorian as the Sam linebacker ON the line of scrimmage. -Derrick Henry 84 yards rushing. Lamar Jackson 39 yards rushing.

I think our offense getting a lead early, sustaining long drives and winning the TOP (similar to Denver game), is our best opportunity to limit Henry and throw off Lamar and the entire Ravens offense.

What is this? It’s just a game bro

Sean McDermott

27 Bills 13 Ravens

Don’t speak on my behalf deviled woman. This topic was not made out of fear nor to preempt another playoff defensive collapse. I created this thread to: 1) Give props to the defense and McDermott as apparently they are incapable of performing well in big games and the playoffs. Defense let up 7 points, 2 third down conversions, and 5.3 yards per play. The DEFENSE won us a playoff game. 2) Awake the Fire McD picketers from their caves.

Sure. But when Denver was on the field, the defense did their job and then some. The defense also got the ball back to the offense to run more plays and dominate TOP….. complimentary football? …. Just saying

3. He also wore two different socks. Nitpick much?

Well considering no team in the league is able to completely shut down Lamar or Mahomes, we might as well head to the Bahamas now. A more neutral stance and a “win” in my eyes would be McDs defense doing enough to keep Baltimore and hopefully KC in check, so that the offense doesn’t have to put up 50 points. That is the recipe in my opinion, let our offense win the game. Agreed.

5.3 yards per play. 2 for 9 on third down. 42 offensive plays. 224 total yards of which 43 yards came on the Franklin TD. Nice try.

Haha ok.

Agreed. But I don’t think the D needs to be elite to get to Nola, especially if the offense keeps humming. That’s the strength of this team. Average defense with our offense playing well is the recipe I think.

We win today without him. Because of the ELITE defense.

So he has to have an elite defensive performance against arguably the highest powered offense in the league (Baltimore) and one of the greatest QBs and HC/OCs in NFL history (KC), in order to exercise his demons?
