McDermott Hot Seat?

[Gregg]

On the plus side our next 3 games are the Giants, at Pats, Bucs. The Bills SHOULD be 6-2 before heading to Cincinnati. The Bucs could give the Bills a good game but it's at home, so I expect the Bills to win. The Giants and Pats should be slam dunk wins even with our injuries on defense.

Did you see that Chiefs/Jags game? They couldn't score, either.

 

Have you watched Philly's games? They're far from dominant.

 

Also, a five point loss isn't something to feel shame about ffs.

You’re looking at one team’s highlights and comparing it against everything the Bills have done. If you watched any of the Eagles games you would see they are not the dominating team they were last year. Yes they are undefeated, but look at their wins and the opponents they have faced. I’m not saying they aren’t good, but it sounds to me like you already think they shouldn’t even play that game in Philly later this season

If you don't think jetlag etc had an effect on today you are crazy.

 

On top of that,  McD is the HC/DC, that's alot to keep up with. He has to give Dorsey freedom with the offense just to keep up.

 

If anything Dorsey is on the hot seat, which I wouldn't be in board with after one bad game.

To be fair the coaching staff made the unconventional decision to wait until Friday to travel.   They own some of the fatigue discussion

Actually, I'm saying the opposite of that, scroll up. I'm NOT an Eagles believer. I watch them pretty much every week.

sound statement, babe

 

now please... defend McDermott. add thoughts to the post instead of mumbling.

every team has injuries. across the league. people who follow this team and post on the message board tend to be hyperbolic but we are not the only team to suffer injuries.

Expand  

I’m aware of that.

 

Are you saying there currently are teams down the likes of White, Milano and Jones for probably the season?

 

Losing those guys isn’t an excuse. It’s a fact that it severely hurts this teams chances.

Sorry that’s my bad, I meant to quote the other guy-you and I are on the same side on this one

McDermott doesn’t lose to teams like the Giants and Pats.  I’m counting those as wins right now.

I just saw the opening line for this week's game. Bills opened as a 14.5 favorite over the Giants.

i honestly do not know the state of rosters across the league. even not knowing, i would presume that no team has as many injuries like we do at this current state. i do know a team recently suffered a rash of injuries at one point - was that chicago?

 

i know cinci has a bunch of injuries, the jets got it pretty bad, the giants maybe without daniel jones (maybe a good thing?). the dolphins were missing 3 starters against us and had 2 more go out against us.

 

i don't disagree at all that injuries hurt. but our offense was not injured, and our defensive schemes and gameplan was *****.

Yes we've been very fortunate that Allen and Diggs and Dion Dawkins have not missed any time

I can’t even imagine what this offense looks like without Stefon Diggs.

This team changed a lot this past off-season and so far we are seeing a lot of the same.  A team that is unstoppable one week and mind boggling on others.  My opinion is that McDermotts feet should be a little hot.  Sorry. 

Expand  

Sorry but there is a problem with your expectations.

 

This team is actually the most consistent team in the league other than Chiefs. We have 2nd most wins since 2020, we are leading in point differential in that span by a large margin. These is one team in the league better than Bills in terms of quality and consistency.

 

Teams you are dreaming about do not exist in real world.

You know which teams play the same every week, at the same elite level?  The 49ers, the Chiefs, the Eagles ... if they happen to lose, they lose tough and they don't lose playing like utter garbage ... the Bills, by contrast, have wild fluctuations, games in which they are obviously outcoached and poorly prepared ... let's see how many McDermott acolytes will vomit or red X this post ... I'll say it again: Sean McDermott should have been fired 5 minutes after the 13 seconds game in Kansas City and should not be coaching a team with Josh Allen as the quarterback ... he'd be a fine defensive coordinator, not a head coach, not in today's NFL ... did you see the 49ers offensive execution last night against Dalls?  That's a well-coached, well-oiled offense primed to win a championship ... the Bills?  They blow teams out in the regular season, lose games they should win, and underperform in the playoffs against elite coaches and organizations.  Cue the vomit, let's go!

The Bills haven't lost by more than 1 score in almost 2 years.

Did you bother reading my post and the one I reacted to?

 

I am just saying that in terms of consistency there is only one team in the league better than the Bills. It's just completely unrealistic to expect the Bills or any other team for that matter to play 20 perfect games in a row. But what we are experiencing these last 3.5 years is as close to being consistent as possible.

Oh really?  That's interesting, I seem to remember a 27-10 ass-kicking in Buffalo at the hands of the Bengals on January 22, 2023 ... must be a figment of my imagination.

The usual absurd takes by the same fans.  After each loss.  Oh yeah 13 seconds.  WTF?

The way this offense can go from running like a sports car to a dump truck in 7 days is baffling.  At some point the roller coaster needs to stop.  We have all seen how great this team can be.  We only get so many chances with Allen at the helm.  Beane has to be at least pondering the idea of coaching being the issue.  Also is there an issue with this teams conditioning?  Lots of injuries the past 2-3 years.

Will these type of posts ever stop ? You ever here the saying any given sunday ? 1 bad freakin game & it's all on the HC when the players are the ones that have to execute then you don't even take in the fact that after Daquan, Millano, & Rouseau,  went down they were also with out Tre 4 starters that have HUGE input on this team .

 

Yah next man up but where you have 4 pro bowl caliber players out & 5 if you include Von plus i think Shaq went out too but it's all about the dam coach come on man !!
