I have a lot of confidence in Shawn but not Frazier he is Shawn’s kryptonite now. They went 9-7 with Tyrod Taylor. He sucked. Am I confident they could win a Superbowl without Josh? No of course they couldn't. You almost always need a top end QB to win a Superbowl. Am I confident they could be a Patriots-esque 8-10 win team that makes it in every couple of years and gets bounced on wildcard weekend? Yep. And to be honest without a QB that is your ceiling in the entire league. Edited January 25, 2022 by GunnerBill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And McD wasted that with his incompetence, I don’t see that changing. McD mismanages game situations all the time. On top of that, McD spent a year game planning for KC and turned in a worse performance. Did you watch the other QB? Mahomes is THE guy right now. Allen will have to put up more amazing performances to finally beat that guy. Edited January 25, 2022 by Buffalo_Stampede Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I hope McD looks at that last 13 seconds and realizes that he has to make his defense be more aggressive. Allen’s prime doesn’t last another 8 years if they keep beating the snot out of him! There are only so many hits a QB can take and there are only so many hits a RB can take. Josh is being subjected to both. 2 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaenon Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I had to stop after, "When Allen hit Davis with a 19-yard TD strike to give the Bills a 36-33 lead, they were on the verge of becoming Super Bowl favorites. The Bucs, Packers and Titans were all out. Their path was clear, and it would begin at an electric Highmark Stadium next Sunday." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) Coach McD seems to be an experiential learner. This past experience will serve him and the team well from that standpoint. I look at how he has improved in areas like challenges. The old Coach McD would have challenged that fumble by the Chiefs, that was a fumble, in hopes of getting a better spot. Look at how Coach McD adjusted from the first NE game and then the rest of the season. Coach was in better control of his emotions since that game. My concern for Coach McD is his ability to keep the team engaged and together. To this point his greatest accomplishment has been the culture change. He needs to improve his game day coaching. Right now he seems a lot like Marv Levy, perfect coach Monday-Saturday but struggled on Sunday in the biggest moments.

Southern_Bills Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) I say move on from Frazier and hire Martindale, formerly of the Ravens. Martindale was a scapegoat for Baltimore's season and fields tough, gritty defenses. I'd sign up for that. Edit: McD isn't going anywhere so that is what it is.

When his mobility starts to go he loses his game, I fear. I don’t think he will have as long as a career as some of us think. I say maybe 8 more effective years unless he alters his game to be more of a pocket passer and less of a running threat Edited January 25, 2022 by VaMilBill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigpen65 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Something is definitely wrong when a team has to have a double digit lead to get out of the game with a win. They lost every single close game this year. That's horrifying. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg S Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) Sean McDermott = Marvin Lewis. Remember how Marvin would have a lot of good seasons with the Bengals. He could get them into the playoffs but could never win a Super Bowl. We have the Buffalo version of Marvin Lewis. I am going to start calling him McLewis.

Cray51 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Choked is probably an apt word, but you have to play, call, execute a hell of a game to get to the point of choking it away. i thought Mcd called a great game other than the 13 seconds. Used timeouts well, went for it when it made sense, kept the team composed. On the 3rd and 1 with the trick play, he was screaming on the sideline and knew the play before it was even snapped. You take your lumps and build. Mcd takes accountability like no other, and will learn from this 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark80 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 So, if we won the coin toss would everyone be saying that Andy Reid choked away that game and be calling for heads? Didn't think so. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donuts and Doritos Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Article makes very fair points. But as it concedes, McDermott seems to learn from past mistakes, like we all do. It's how players like Josh improved, coaches are no different. Did the coaching screw this one up? Yes. Will McDermott learn from it? Won't know until next year. Changing horses at coach means starting over in team philosophy that could set us back a year or 2, & doesn't guarantee success, see Dallas, Chargers (now & w/ Phillip Rivers), Cleveland, Green Bay, Atlanta. Only time I can think where changing coaches actually worked was Dungy to the Colts (Gruden to Tampa was overrated IMO). Stable franchises don't change coaches like people change clothes. We did that for 17 seasons. McDermott needs to learn & get better at 13 seconds. Odds are he'll have 2 new coordinators to help him do it, and hopefully that is change enough. Go Bills! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So giving up 2 TDs in the final 2 minutes doesn't qualify as choking, but giving up 2 plays does. Got it. One step further....how many years being a head coach did it take Reid to win a SB? It took him 21 seasons. 7 to even get to it. Now he's widely considered one of the best coaches.

But he did have a 4 point lead with 47 seconds to go and the Bills in their own territory. And he did choke that away as well. both coaches had moments they wish they could forget in the final 2 minutes.

Stuartjohn Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 1 hour ago, Nextmanup said: Extremely fair and accurate accounting of the game, reflecting several key themes that have been ALL OVER this message board since the moment the game ended. He has high praise of Allen, speaks of the folly of the current OT rule, and offers fair and accurate criticism of McDermott's playoff in-game management, which is not particularly strong. He also correctly points out that the Pegulas will almost certainly not have any issues with McDermott...but perhaps someone should be asking if what McD brings to the table is enough to match Josh's promise. I'm sure this won't stop an army of posters here from trashing Jerry and the column, despite never reading a word of it. Such is the way of ignorance. What Jerry said is 100% Accurate! Frazier or both McDermott should be held accountable! If Coach : Parcells/ Johnson/ Belichek etc. would’ve been in that predicament they would be hosting Championship game! He choked Fair & simple- even worse than WideRight! I won’t ever think of Mc D as a winner again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
