God what a dumb argument. I remember when that one team benched their 5-3 quarterback for a 5th round draft pick and won that risk. oh wait that was the Bills. What people fail to notice is that Tyrod has played better WRT passing the ball faster (when he isn’t in a shell).

We didn't have a great roster and yet we finished 9-7 and sneaked into the playoffs. But the people I know that know a lot of football agree that he makes horrible in game decisions. Repeatedly. I think so, too. The Peterman decision was awful. The choices of punts or field goals has been awful. The basic philosophies on both offense and defense have been extremely questionable. I love the guy for the Kyle Williams play I will never forget. But he seems to make a lot of good preparation decisions and a lot of bad in game decisions. A lot. Yours will be served Cajun blackened
Jerry Jabber Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 My opinion on McDermott was reserved all season long, mainly because of the previous 17 years, all the fast starts, disappointments and letdowns. Even today, I kept thinking about the 2004 season when the Bills needed to beat the Steelers and lost to their backups. While McDermott is not perfect, he has done something no other Bills coach has done in over 17 years and that’s make the playoffs. It’s a huge morale booster! I’m trusting the process and drinking the kool aid. Go Bills!

Augie Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 Where is the thread where we win no more than 4 games. Be strong and raise your hand if you were one of them. I said 6-8 wins, hopefully a little more, if I recall correctly.

It's not someone looking for things to complain about. I watch games with a guy who knows 10x more football than me and we can't believe the decisions he makes. Not to mention not insisting on strategies his OC or DC are making. We should have won this game by 14 points.

That shows how bad every other quarter back on the roster is.

They survived and Peterman was incidental in another win and McD got us in the playoffs.Period.End of your story, I hope

Some have, not all. I thought the decision to punt at the end of the 1st today was absolutely the right one.

There's disagreeing with a conservative approach, versus disagreeing with the wrong approach. McD has a lot of the former. Less of the latter.

McD has a lot of the former. Less of the latter. When they have been 10 points up at any stage in a game this season they are 6-0. So people can B word about the conservative approach.... the fact is it is part of why the drought is over.

Doc Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 His decisions got the Bills into the playoffs. Couldn't have been all, or even mostly, bad. 2
Elite Poster Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 He still has a lot of work to do and now that I've settled down, we got LUCKYYYY AS HELL today. However, we took care of our business.

So people can B word about the conservative approach.... the fact is it is part of why the drought is over. I'm not against a conservative approach. At all. If anything I lean toward kicking the FG and points versus going for it. But McD is erratic. He isn't either conservative or aggressive. To me he's made the wrong decision like 4 of the last 5 times. One or more of them have worked but that doesn't mean it was right. And again I like McDermott overall.

He has made some..... but fewer than his predecessors. The delay of game on the punt was pure genius...Did you see how they got an extra 20+seconds off the clock by surrendering the 5 yards? 29 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: Some have, not all. I thought the decision to punt at the end of the 1st today was absolutely the right one. If the clock was still running, they could have bled it to single digits before kicking. Since the clock was stopped, there was too much time for the Dolphins to get a FG attempt if Hauschka missed. I would have loved the points, but I understood why they didn't try it.
