Warcodered Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 I mean way early obviously but if the Bills win the AFC East again next year they'll of done it the same number of times as Belichick since McDermott was hired. 1 Quote

Rock-A-Bye Beasley Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 McDermott is clearly a good coach. I think the frustration with him is that he could be a great coach. Even more frustrating is that the things he needs to improve to become a great coach are easy and obvious. He has the hard parts of being a great coach down: motivating and teaching players, xs and os, hiring competent people to surround himself with. Some of his in-game decisions are so bad it's impossible to defend. Wasting timeouts left and right including the one where he called a timeout to decide if he should challenge. All the 4th downs in the Tampa game were botched. Punting late in OT in the snow game when a tie would have knocked us out of the playoffs, called a timeout erasing Josh's 4th and 1 conversion today, etc etc. All of these things are incredibly stupid, but can be corrected. It reminds me of the term 'you can't teach speed' You can teach an otherwise good coach that it's smart to go for certain 4th downs but it's much harder to make someone who already knows that into a great coach. It seems like he has to be forced to be aggressive, last year before the AFCCG he seemed to have improved, but regressed in that game and has carried over to this season with the exception of a few games. Another frustrating aspect is that he seems to be more aggressive against bad teams, and more conservative against good teams. Most fans think it should be the other way around especially if the other teams strength is offense. 1 Quote

This annoys the hell out of me and therefore should be considered in the hot seat if the BIlls failed to advance in the playoffs because of coward, stupid decisions by him. I’ve actually seen him as quite aggressive this season…I’m not sure what you’re seeing. 1 1 Quote

I remember that snow game, he was the head coach of the team and didn't know a tie would have knocked us out of the playoffs. So hard to fathom. But yeah the timeout usage and game management have been issues for all 5 years here. I agree he's a good teacher of the game and has the organizational skills. The game in NE was one of the first games we've seen where he was aggressive against a top team. The way he shrank in the spotlight last year in the AFC title game was tough to watch. Hopefully he won't again this year. 1 2 Quote

You should go cry in your basement that someone still achieved something regardless of what your armchair coaching thought. just my opinion, but F all you all that wants him fired. I just want to enjoy watching this team be successful Note: I am posting this here so more people see it. I find it interesting that it seems to trigger you so much that not everyone is a fan of his. What's wrong with people sharing their opinions of him? Everyone here wants the same thing, for the Bills to be as good as possible. I'd say the same if someone had posted things like "F everyone who wants to see him stay" after the AFC title game last year when he kicked on multiple 4th and shorts. Nobody's stopping you from enjoying this team and he's probably going to be the coach for a while here. Many of us are just hoping he improves in the in-game aspects of the job. 1 1 3 1 Quote

T master Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 On 12/6/2021 at 11:09 PM, Wizard said: There was absolutely no reason that the Bills should have lost this game! For this reason, the Pegula’s need to clean out some of the coaching leadership. The odds of screwing up so many times in a row in a game is probably a million to one. That comes down to poor coaching and players not executing. When players screw up and coaches can not adjust, then this means that McDermott’s coaching ceiling has already been reached. He and his staff are average despite the team’s history Great Coach gets 10-14 points in the situation below. Good coach gets 6 to 7 points. Replaceable coach gets 0-3 points. 2x’s in the last 6 minutes the Patriots gift wrapped two very doable red zone touchdown opportunities. And, Allen gets sacked, an idiot TE false start, a missed field goal, and passing the ball when running could have led to more manageable play calling rather than 3rd and long and 4th and 14 situations. No adjustments…means no Confidence! The team lost at home with the best fans, better receivers, and quarterback, unbelievable opportunities to win, and the defense knowing in advance that 95% of the team’s plays would be runs. Mac Jones may have set a record in the last 40 years with 19 pass yards! In other words, our defensive line knew what was coming and the Hoodie decided to be completely one dimensional knowing the Bills could do nothing about it!!! Winning Culture Yes, there was wind and stats were not going to be as big tonight. The Bills had every reason to win and own the division. It was blanking Monday Night Football. The team had this game circled all season. No amount of clapping, rah rah, or “process” makes up for fumbling the game away. Bad coaching, players aren’t executing, and we can’t build our offense or defense with underwhelming line play, time management issues, and not getting the ball from a 30 million dollar QB not getting the ball to Diggs or a line not capable of digging in and getting 10 yards on the ground with some old-fashion tough running. Ceiling has been reached..new voices A weaker AFC, Derrick Henry going down, the Chiefs inconsistencies and Ravens, and the inability to beat playoff caliber teams, execute at key times, and the lack of consistency on the lines means this is McDermott’s ceiling. Time for Bills to make big changes! Hows that working out for you now 5 seasons he's been here 4 times he's had the team in the play offs 🤔 ?? Quote

Logic Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 Listen up everybody.... I think the OP just forgot to type a few words in his original thread title. What he MEANT to say was: "McDermott era should end with a Lombardi trophy or two" 3 Quote

Mynamemike Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 Look how far we’ve come! Third seed in the afc and second straight division title and people want our coach fired! Quote
Dopey Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 Only 1 defensive unit gave up an average of less than 300 yds per game. Only 1. Yep, us. And it wasn't even close. Bills: 272.8 yds against per game. Next closest? Carolina: 305.9 Third in points scored. Back to back AFCE CHAMPS. Playoffs in 4 out of 5 years after the drought we had. Yeah, coach should go. 🤮 Quote
