A situation bad enough that he’d lose the locker room. 

I think if the Bills don't win the division, and the division winner goes further in the playoffs than the Bills, that nearly catostrophic.

Based on today’s super normal non-newsworthy bills day in June. The feeling is starting to be make or break this year for this team. 

 

 

The real question is topic worth a LAMP since it has been brought up repeatedly ad nausea.

I’m not sure that gets the plug pulled on them, but it might. 

The plug should've been pulled after :13.  Daboll should've been immediately promoted. Farwell was his scapegoat in 21.  Frazier in 22.  And Dorsey will probably be the sacrificial lamb after this season. Sean's the Teflon man.

You’re not wrong. That was inexcusable. Certainly a fireable offense.

No-- not even close--- the record we have had over his tenute here compared to the previous 10-13 years speaks for itself.   he is is safe till they have a few years of losing records.

 

 

How soon people forget. No franchise QB in sight and still made the playoffs in his first year after damn near 20 years of mediocrity

I think the evidence is in him having to take over the Defense.

 

Yes his seat is warm.

Yes this is make or break for McD.

 

13 seconds is COMPLETELY on him. I dont care about what Levi Wallace said or anything else. The Head Coach failed to bring the team together during the MULTIPLE time outs and get the football 101 gameplan together.

 

Last year, we were on a down slide from the Bye week, and McD never got a fire lit under the team.

 

I'm not sure he is even CAPABLE of lighting fires under guys.

Have we ever disagree?

 

Maybe Geno. That's it, but I never had strong feelings on him.

A few years of losing records? Seems unfathomable with Allen at QB. 

 

He would surely be fired after the second if not the first. He's already got the team in a downward postseason trajectory.

Mediocrity in intelligence for some people.  Same problem with the current situation in the country.

Not exactly.

 

Many people misunderstood what Wallace was saying. 

 

Wallace said it was in the gameplay to play it the way he did, but he wishes he overrode the game plan, given the situation.

 

He was basically saying that he blame himself for not changing the way the coaches told him to play it.


That is not the same as saying he blew the coverage

 

0-B5-DB81-E-1-B2-E-4724-96-DA-2-EAAF7-C0

 

 

 

I listened to the interview. He lined up as he should then didn't make the adjustment that he should when the KC formation shifted.

The fact that he took over the defense indicates to me that at least McDermott feels that way

I agree with your assessment regarding taking over the defensive coaching.  He must feel he needs to coach what he knows best - - defense.  If this doesn't get the Bills to a SB then he's toast within 2 years.

I think it should be.  The Bills have lots of A players and the coaching in big games never rises to that level.  I won't dismiss him out of hand, he's done a lot of good building up the team, but is consistently outcoached in big situations.  I think of him similar to the complaints that swirled around Tremaine Edmunds... good player, but no splash plays... nothing that puts us over the top.  To win a Super Bowl the coach has to be a differentiator in big situations and I can't think of when he's done that.

 

I don't know whether that's fair or not, but it's how I see him.

Every post season failure sticks in Sean’s craw as it were, imo it pisses him off that he/his team failed, his taking over as DC is him saying, I’ll be damned if this is gonna happen again. The question is will it succeed, and can KD scheme up a winner on offense,  We shall see.
