Sure, we won 8 in a row, but it just never felt like last year. Maybe it’s why I’m not upset right now, but I 100% didn’t expect to make it to the SB this year. Hopefully it’s that and not just finally apathy. It didn't feel like it was meant to be heading into the end of this season. Next season is gonna be even worse. Too much missed draft capital the last few seasons as other teams are starting to leapfrog us with some of their top picks. 1 Quote

Even more than having a pass rush the entire system we run is predicated off having good coverage. We haven't had good coverage most of the year and everything falls apart after that. Pass rush will never get there if there's always someone open and we have never been great at stopping the run. We hope for splash plays to stop drives. Against the Pats or Miami's 3rd string QB we had a chance but most teams carved us up pretty easily. 1 Quote

Defenses can keep you from winning championships. Offenses win you championships. The Bills focus on their D and their pushing resources to the defense at the expense of the offense has caught up with them. We will continue to slide relative to the rest of the AFC if we don't change our approach and throw resources at the offense. 1 Quote

Had Baltimore pulled the upset last week the Bills would be going to the AFC championship game. Cincy is built to exploit all of our weaknesses. Chase is arguably the best WR in the NFL. Plus, to all of you talking about firings, do you remember where we were for almost 2 decades!?! I am enjoying this run. Josh Allen makes you a contender all by himself. Maybe next year the ball bounces our way. My argument for not moving on from McBeane is the Sabres. It’s taken them 12 years to put this team together and they still might miss the playoffs. I am OK with moving on from the coordinators though. Quote

When it counted they were over matched. 13 seconds last year and 60 minutes today. 3rd and 2 on a key possession and we go long. No understanding of situational football. Looking deep on every play. We need an adult OC and DC with some aggression. It’s McD’s scheme and philosophy. If he doesn’t like it, he’s had years to change anything, that’s the job of the Head Coach and why he’s called that. I don’t know why so many people here are apologists for McDermott. Yeah Frazier sucks, but he’s an extension of McD. 1 Quote

They're predictable and easily blitzed. Quote

Sestak4ever Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 Changes need to be based upon the entire work of the full season. Our defense has lead the league in missed tackles for most of the year. Too many games having wide receivers wide open and zero pass rush, especially with Miller out. Frazier needs to be replaced. Our defensive strategy is not aggressive enough, even saw that from him last year against KC in the playoff game. Beane has his work cut out this off season with both the players and coaching staff.

CincyBillsFan Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 1 minute ago, Green Lightning said: Cincy's D dominated us. Yes they did because we have not focused on the O line and skill players. I live in Cincinnati and they have pushed more resources to their offense then they have their defense. The game was lost today in the 1st quarter when the Bengals OFFENSE had two 75 yard plus TD drives to go up 14 - 0. The rest of the game was window dressing. Quote

People calling for his head are like the people calling for Tony Dungy's head in Tampa. In Tampa, they didn't believe Dungy could win a Super Bowl despite his success getting his team into the playoffs. So, after Tampa canned him, Dungy won the Lombardi for Indy instead. Took him years to win one in Indy and it took a Tampa a year to win one without him Quote

jcamm1966 Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 McD is a defensive coach yet is D is a mess. the trend is O minded head coach we are stuck in the past . At least we will be back in the nobody talks about us mode next season 2 Quote
