We will never win anything with McD here

Or JA….dude is all Braun and no brains…that’s not a winning combo in the NFL, especially at QB…

       Agree w your critical but fair critiques about JA after this game and actually trend of games w increasing turnovers. Hard to get thru to a guy with a quarter billion dollars who has no consequences to be actually accountable. ( he is less replaceable than any other player and the entire staff or beane, i bet if  PEGULA was asked).  The only actual consequence for not changing is to take away his biggest passion/ desire, which is playing time. I don’t agree with the immature whiners and Karens around who are so fearful  he can’t  handle some criticism or discipline ; we all have to answer for quality if employed, licensed , etc, as a real life issue regarding pay, position, tenure etc.

      IF he refuses to run the offense by ignoring wide open short throws , keeps throwing into double / triple coverage, he should be benched a bit until the cliche platitudes stop in favor of good decision making, and to be sure this staff stays employed. That won’t break him in BUFFALO , like the little fan boys worry about so much, especially not more so than continued losing or leading the league in turnovers imo. 

 

      A little constructive criticism tho, if i may. When critiquing someone’s intelligence , it is always good to prove qualified to do so , and a muscle bound type person has BRAWN,,,,,as Braun is more a name like Hitler’s fiancée or i believe a company that makes things like electric razors etc !   Lol,,,i am just kidding with you and, again have felt your criticisms were fair. These little histrionic, panic driven posters stating to stop being critical of a grown man because it will run him out of town, make me think of gamers dwelling in their parents basement who never had to compete in college, work , or demanding professions.

     I know in my profession being yelled at, belittled, etc was a right of passage and if one couldn’t handle that by striving to be better and not make the same mistake again, the chance of succeeding was little to none. God, this country and social media driven clout seekers are beyond soft.   Poor ,little multimillionaire , superstar athlete might be offended or have someone SAY ( not do, which is different) something HURTFUL,,,,awwwwww !!!!  Man, my grandfather, who was an immigrant coal miner, must be rolling in his grave. Mining coal, laying brick, etc, is HURTFUL ,,,,not having someone opine about you on the internet !  Sorry for the tangent, but having grown up with miners, steel workers etc in OHIO, and actually having done a little of that work /life , allows one to maintain a perspective about actual hard times or when to be thankful,,,,like getting 250 million dollars!  Lol ! 

     

Best wishes, and here’s hoping this offensive mess gets turned around or I can’t even imagine how the KARENS will deal with the criticism that will be coming should the BILLS lose this weekend.

I’ll be that guy here. I like McDermott. He completely changed this franchise. 17 years of embarrassment and this guy turned us into a perennial Super Bowl contender almost immediately. Forever in debt to him and appreciate to no end. The guy is an amazing coach 6 days a week. Getting us prepared and ready to play, love everything he does there………

 

On game days he is horrendous. Between inactives, personal misusage, clock management, challenges, overall game intelligence…he’s horrible. I almost wish we had a game situation consultant on the sideline to take something off this guys plate. Regardless I have no issue with McDermott staying and obviously I hope we win the Super Bowl and he gets a lifetime contract. Right, wrong or indifferent, If we fall short again this year, this guy is going to catch a ton of heat. It’s going to have to happen here soon or it’s going to fall on the HC. That’s just how it goes in the NFL. There is a guy in the college ranks that is ascending like a rocket…If it goes south here and it’s a total fallout, imagine the timing and opportunity here if the Bills hired “Coach Prime” as a replacement. I’m not here asking for it, I’m just taking liberties in imagining what that would look and feel like.

We are officially the Chargers! Lots of talent, but somewhere we will trip all over ourselves and find ways to lose when it matters most.

Nope the chargers have become the west coast bills, the bills as long as I have been a fan have always found

new and horrible ways to lose.

We all want to blame coaches because they are easy to fire and hire. We also love to blame the GM because it's a job that we think that we could do. No, the problem right now is in Josh Allen's head. You could argue that it's the job of coaches to get him in the right mindset but my immediate reaction post-game on Monday night was "The Bills will never win a SB with f-ing Josh Allen at QB." I've calmed down since that point, but I'm really worried that he's been figured out by NFL DCs and that he refuses to adapt.

Allen looks shot.  The decision making is laughable.  At one point in his career I thought he moved on from the rookie mistakes but he looked like. Green behind the ears rookie tonight AT BEST.  Absolutely dreadful.

 

He is getting beaten down.  But hey, "we have a winning culture" for as ill-defined as that is apart from simply wins in a division that's been crap to date.

Here's the deal:

 

McDermott is a solid coach.  I don't think that is disputable.  He ended the Bills drought, and we've been a contender ever since.  Most Sundays, the team is well prepared, and the gameplans are good.  

 

If you don't want to settle for that, and have your sights on trying to get a "great" coach - I mean, who knows how long that might take, and if it would ever happen?  Great coaches are not common. They're the anomaly.  There are very few in the league right now.

 

I just don't think you can waste JA's prime trying to find someone better.  You might as easily end up with someone worse.

 

And a last thought:  Reid was viewed the same way as McD at one time, when he was in Philly..

This game is all on Josh.  He even said it in his presser.  "We lost because of me."

 

IDK, if you ask me, allowing a pair of RBs to rush for 160 yards on over 6 YPC, and allowing a nothing QB to post a very efficient outting, after having taken zero first-team reps in practice leading up to the game, in a balanced attack otherwise can't be attributed to Allen.  

 

7 teams beat the Jets last season by allowing 12 or fewer points, and none featured a defense ranked higher than ours. 

 

Yes, Allen's primarily why we lost, but potential plot-twist.  

 

Let's say that two of those INTs connect and we log 10 points, or even 14 from them. Fine, one is still an INT.  The conversation this week trends towards Super Bowl talk.  

 

Allen completed 70% of his passes against that D.  It wasn't a good game, but again, points to the reality in Buffalo under McD these days, that he can't coach us to wins against the better teams unless Allen plays lights out ball.  

 

Imagine how the game would've gone had Rodgers not gotten injured in the first series.  It would have been a lot worse.

There is no way McD gets rid of Dorsey.  McD is a very loyal person.  Only chance is if pegulas fire McD which I doubt.

 

And there's a big part of the problem.  

 

McD won't get rid of anyone.  He's surrounded by his underachieving buddies from Carolina now, in spades.  

 

He also won't hire an OC that can get the most from Allen and get the job done.  Why not?  Because it would threaten his job.  

 

We're stuck until Pegs pulls the plug.  But he just unwisely gave them extensions in thinking about what, the welfare of the team, the Super Bowl, etc.?  No, in thinking about his largely taxpayer/fan funded new stadium.

When you say McD won’t get rid of anyone, what do you mean? We have had several position coach changes under McD. He fired Rick Dennison. He fired Juan Castillo. Leslie Frazier wasn’t kept around. 
 

Do you think if the offense struggles or Josh struggles, Dorsey’s head isn’t on the block?

[LyndonvilleBill]

I think McD is a perfect fit as a coach in Buffalo. I'm probably a little biased as I am a defensive guy and more conservative. 

 

My thoughts/issue is, I think he puts too much trust in the OC to run the O. Personally,  I think he needs to grab Dorsey and Allen by the ears and tell them to stop with these long shots and low percentage plays. Use the short game and running game more. Set them up, play chess. The deep shots will come. Use your brains, not your QB heart. Reduce the number of 15+ passing yard plays from the wrist band and move them to the last page. Don't call them until I tell you to!!

 

The D played well and the O 🤑 all over themselves. Just pissed me off as I have a Jets fan that works in my office, from NY, that I had to deal with all week. Forgot how insufferable he could be.🤬.

 

Apologies,  I'm done now.  New week.Go Bills! 😁

Drinking is a Buffalo tradition. Groupies are a problem. I see now that you are just working for the Hollywood actress.

That is very bad behavior. They really didn't like you having a Jets fan in the office. You should have told them he was from Vermont and see if it made a difference.
