I'll stand by Josh bailing out the defense far more than the defense taking over to win games. I've never ripped our defensive players, but I'm no fan of the defensive system we play. Are we saying his body of work as a defensive head coach is acceptable because he made average chicken salad out of chicken crap his first year? Is Josh as lucky to have McDermott as head coach as McDermott is lucky to have Josh as his QB? Good leader, below average coach.

Waking up one day and realizing Josh Allen had far more to do with those 95 wins than your "process". Priceless.

They've all drafted at the bottom of the rounds and it's catching up. Our Superman is the real Superman. Unfortunately we have a coach that likes to play hide the cape in the name of complimentary football.

you couldn't be more correct with this post. I was in uh-mode at the thought of going up by 7 with the amount of time left. I felt like the D played hard, but Cincy is a bad match for their present state. So many catches where we were in position but couldn't make the play. I didn't see any quit, so hats off for that.

is it all off-process stuff?

They were great plays and I agree we finally tackled at an NFL level. Still felt helpless at times and required the turnovers to keep us competitive. Not sure we can rely on that strategy to take us deep in the playoffs.

Serious question. Why do we never incorporate things that work in the second half in the first half of the next game?

Would we still be taking undersized D-linemen?

Great game by Josh and the second half offense. A couple key plays on D, but an otherwise brutal day on that side of the ball. If the Bills ever with a Super Bowl under McDermott, I hope he gives Josh his ring.

Another McTurdBurger of a defensive performance. Let him stay on in the Marv Levy role if Terry doesn't want to fire him, but force him to hire a real DC!

Mistress McBeane demands you cry like a Bills fan. No receivers for you!!!

Well, if Kurt Warner was managing a grocery store and got there, I guess anything is possible. What a swing and a miss by the Cardinals.

This is a fair take, but our draft picks and FA signings never seemto make up for the lack of talent around Josh. I don't even care if we're a run first team, but when it's stopped or we get turn over prone, we'll struggle to offset it with the passing game or defensive play. Many are simply frustrated that that we have to have this identity while having a generational talent at QB. I don't disagree. The lack of balance on offense will only take us so far. If the passing game starts to click a bit and the defense gets healthier, maybe they'll go further than I think. I just think poor decisions are catching up with us and forcing us to take on an identity that's counterintuitive to paying a top 3 QB.

He won't be happy here either.
