Dopey Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 2 hours ago, Einstein said: No, he didn’t take Rex’s team anywhere. If I recall correctly we had something like 8 new starters in 2017 than 2016. And we backed into the playoffs because of a miracle by the Bengals. If Josh Allen goes down, this team doesn’t win more than 8 games. You can explain it away all you want. He took Rex’s team to the playoffs. The Bills went from almost 2 decades of no playoffs to the playoffs, in his first season as HC. Any success by McDermott is just plain old luck. Got it. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Josh is lucky we drafted him and not NJ,Cleveland,Carolina, or AZ. Josh is NOT the reason we made the playoffs in 2019. Far from it. That was a total team effort, including McDermott as HC. You don’t like McD. and Cincy is a better team than the Bills. We got it, already. You can say it 15 different ways and you’re still saying the same thing. Blah, blah, blah. 20 minutes ago, teef said: So…what I’m seeing here is that when something god happens to the bills, it’s either all Allen or a bit of luck. When something bad happens to the bills, it’s strictly on mcd. This is shaping up nicely. Only to the “smart” posters. 1 1 1 Quote

Royale with Cheese Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 1 hour ago, Einstein said: With a bit of luck, any coach can win more games than they deserve. Dick Jauron once won 13 games in a season. He went 13-3 with the 2001 Bears. McDermott needed a moderate amount of luck in his 2017 campaign where he backed into the playoffs with 9 wins. Luck such as facing a Miami team without their starting QB on the last game of the season when we needed a win to have any chance. We still won 9 games that year and every team has luck. The Bills weren't especially lucky in 2017 to win 9 games....they won them. So basically this team without Josh Allen will only win 8 games. Meaning, you think the overall 2017 team is one game better than this current constructed team. Quote
BillnutinHouston Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 What happens the instant the Bills spend a first round pick on WR? Does Diggs pull an Aaron Rodgers and freak out? Quote

McDermott was lucky to reach 9 wins in 2017. Just like Jauron was lucky to reach 13 wins in 2001 (but he won them!) . Edited July 5, 2023 by Einstein Quote

Just like Jauron was lucky to reach 13 wins in 2001 (but he won them!) . UGH…no there isn’t any semantics going on here. It is fact that McDermott can win at least 8 games without Allen as his QB because he’s done it before… and in a 16 game season. Your statement that he can’t is factually wrong. And that means you think the 2017 team was better overall. Edited July 5, 2023 by Royale with Cheese 1 Quote

You're seriously an adult and throwing out the "I am significantly smarter than you" on a message board LOL. You keep getting to deeper levels of insecurity....geezus. Quote

Whenever a poster trys to deflect attention and claim intellectual superiority, you know they have lost the debate and lost badly. My brother in law is a VERY bright guy, in some ways. His grown daughters like to share his IQ with you if you let them. I’m not impressed because he is absolutely lost in groups or with any kind of interactions with others. They brag about his IQ, but I’m not sure it outweighs his glaring weaknesses. Super nice guy, and if you need someone to check your numbers, he’s your guy. But if you want to shout about your strengths, it’s only fair to paint the whole picture. 1 Quote

It’s almost like fans don’t think rationally. to an extent. i'm referring to a specific poster who has tried every angle to show us how bad of a coach he feels mcd is. if that's someone's opinion, it's all good, but when someone post mathematical equations they spent, "hours" completing, in order to show us they're scientifically correct, while in fact they proved absolutely nothing, there's an issue. when someone has realized how much they've failed to prove their theory, that now any success under mcd is just luck? come on.
