Shameful that McDermott didn’t fess up to ordering the deep kickoff…his post-game answer (“execution”) might lead one to believe that Bass screwed up.

Try to do better

This is not exactly a newsflash…

Depends which part of it you live in…

Then why are you posting in this thread?

So you didn’t read it. Thanks for playing…

I honestly think McDermott might have thought we had a 4-point lead…I thought so for a second, watching it on TV. It’s really the only explanation. I hope someone asks him…

Care to dispute anything in the column, Promo?

Hard to argue with a single word of it. Josh Allen has been covering up the shortcomings of this coaching staff for three seasons now. Without him, McDermott might not be much better than the mediocrities who preceded him…we might never have a better chance…

McDermott won one more game than Rex Ryan did, with essentially the same roster. Andy Dalton and Tyler Boyd deserve as much credit as McDermott for breaking the drought.

Nope. We've invested a ton of draft assets on the defensive line. We need to give them time to develop. Right now the priority should be to build around Josh Allen...give him weapons to outscore teams. Josh guarantees maximum return on any offensive playmaker that you add...

Jordan Davis isn't going to get you over the hump against he Chiefs. We need to build on our greatest strength--Josh Allen. He's the multiplier effect that will give you the greatest possible return on any offensive weapon that you add. Sure, add some speed on defense too, but give Josh the weapons to maximize his incredible talent.

Can you imagine what a coach like Shanahan or McVey would be able to do with Josh Allen?

And averaged more than 10 yards per attempt, and picked up god-knows how many first downs with his legs. Absolutely unprecedented and probably will never be duplicated, except by Josh Allen.

Understood, and I don't think you fire McDermott unless you've already identified his replacement and are convinced it's an upgrade.

Exactly...you build on your greatest strength. Going into the offseason, you know that, with Josh Allen at QB, you are going to be able to get a huge return from a game-breaking receiver that you draft, unlike in 2014 when we gave up a a ton of assets to pair Sammy Watkins with EJ Manual. Fortunately, there are a lot of those types of players coming out of college these days. We also need another TE, by the way.

I'm not sure about that. As long as Josh Allen is around, Buffalo will be hire the best available candidate in any given year.

You're confused. Josh Allen is far more responsible for that than McDermott. If Beane had not drafted Josh Allen, we'd be the Jets, or at best the Dolphins, right now.

A coach who misses the playoffs with a healthy Josh Allen should probably be fired immediately, absent extenuating circumstances.

And how many years will it be ok for poor coaching to keep us from reaching and winning a Super Bowl? This was an absolutely perfect opportunity for us to win it. No one has any idea how many other opportunities like this we will have...what happened last night was inexcusable and unacceptable.

No, but I’m starting to wonder how many other coaches might be able to reach the Super Bowl with Josh Allen in his prime, on a cheap contract…

That’s fine, but you can’t deny that major coaching blunders in the last 13 seconds cost us that game…there’s just no hiding from that fact…

Anyone think the Chiefs aren’t winning it all this year?

Yeah, as a Titan fan, it must be crushing to know you just wasted another year of Ryan Tannehill’s prime…

And Ward was out of the game for a long stretch after Josh trucked him…
