McDermott Era Should End!

[Curt]

We are 0-5 this season in 1 score games. That's telling imo about the head coach.

[MAJBobby]

Do you trust your Franchise QB on 4th and 3 down two scores?  If you don’t YOU are the problem.

Let me tell you who clueless most of you are.  THE ONLY REASON we came back was because McD inserted himself over Frazier on the defensive adjustments before the end of the half.  Even Romo pointed it out.  
 

It amazes me how out of touch people are around here about what the real problems are. 

You don't know that.  And it wasn't Frazier that punted on 4th and 3.  McDermott is a loser and coaches like a loser.  Allen is the only reason this game was close.  McDermott cost us the season.  And he will never get it done. 

[Iverwig]

He is who he is. The writing is on the wall but he will still be the HC next year and maybe the year after but I have no confidence in him. They even said during tonight’s post game that Josh has to overcome his own coach’s shortcomings and it’s so obvious. Just because he carried the Bills to the playoffs two years in a row doesn’t mean he’s the answer. The Bills have a franchise QB so they will make the playoffs most years despite the coaching.

The sad part is if he wants to give McD the credit for the adjustments then he should be criticized for the loss.

I am disappointed in the team and McDermott this year, but no way that it is time to fire him.   The team turned around under him and you are more likely to get a worse coach or lateral move than an upgrade.    

 

I do believe that the team needs to get rid of Daboll and Frazier and find out why they are on the short end of every close game this year.   Something is different from last year and it is not for the better.

McD has been one of the most aggressive 4th down coaches in the NFL since Allens second season.

 

Try again cuz you’re wrong on this.

Ever since the correct call to go for it in the Titans game McSpineless has turtled.

If we fire McD it will be one of the worst decisions in franchise history and it will honestly test my fanhood.

Don’t worry, 0% chance of happening

It's the really close games where coaching can have a direct impact on the outcome of the game.

 

If we consistently got the better coaching in a game, I'd argue we win 3 or more of those 5 games.

 

Look at what BB just did in the wind game.  He turned a very close game into a win with superior coaching.

 

McDermott turned the same game into a loss with bad coaching.

I was thinking McGutless at the end there.  But I'd definitely accept McSpineless.  

 

All hat...no cattle Coach McClappy.

I don't see any utility in firing Mcdermott.  This is his fifth season as HC, so Inexperienced is a bit odd to say.  I do want McDermott to get better.  Real question? What areas has he improved in in the last three years.  Part of me thinks that we have reached the point that "what we see is what we have". 

I don’t know about you, but I coached my kids football and soccer teams for years and I learned something new every season. I can’t imagine what coaching would be like at the NFL level, so I give every coach, whether HC, coordinator or position coach a ton of credit as it’s a very hard, time consuming job. As long as the Bills keep making the playoffs, McDermott will be the HC for the foreseeable future. Maybe after ten years or so and the Bills are stuck in the same pattern, maybe then we’ll see a change, but don’t expect a coaching change anytime soon.

He is. He is a defensive coach and the the defense let up one big run. Other than that they showed up. Every loss this season other than the Titans game is more on the offense not performing than the defense not performing. Steelers game was lost because the offense, Jaguars game because of the offense, This game was because of the offense. Mcdermott had his issues tonight with burning two time outs on stupid stuff but Daboll really screwed this game up. 

My personal philosophy with regards to this is the fact he IS a defensive coach. A defensive coach who has used every prime asset he has not named Stefon Diggs on his defense. The offense hasn't measured up but he still fortifies the defense. Thats a tough one for me.

In the first half we gave up 24. In the sec whale after adjustments, we gave up 3.  Whoever did that did something good.

 

I was glad to see us do a lot of blitzing in the 2nd half and it worked.  When Tommy gets pressure, he melts.  A lot of those bad passes were due to pressure.  In the 1st half we played that "we can't blitz cuz he gets rid of it too fast so we'll cover everybody" fools errand with the usual results.  I thought it was good to see the change, but sadly, too late

Steelers loss was because our new 3 step punter lined up only 13 yards back to punt and got it blocked for a TD.

 

He did make some nice ones today though.

[John from Riverside]

If that pass interference is called in the end zone the way it should have been with diggs we win this game and nobody is even talking about McDermott all they’re talking about is the great comeback of the bills

 

Just saying

Every season McDermott remains the head coach is a year of Josh’s career wasted.

I would still be talking about McSpineless because the team would have won in spite of his inept game day coaching. 

[LabattBlue]

This is a pointless topic. Josh Allen will keep Beane and McD employed for many many years….covering up their shortcomings.
