Never thought I’d say this. Sean McDermott is a stupid coach.

Sean McDermott knows Benford and Jackson can’t hold up in coverage as they aren’t Sauce Gardener and not allowed to mug. 

When you don’t blitz you have 7 in coverage. And Benford and Jackson haven’t been an issue.

 

 

Today’s defensive gameplan was awful and McDermott continued to double and triple down on it when it clearly wasn’t working.

All day long the Bills blitzed, blitzed, blitzed. All day long, with I believe the exception of one time, the Bills got nowhere near the QB and Jones had a career day.

 

McDermott kept it up and Mac ***** Jones of all QB’s made him pay.  Not even mixing up the blitzes. Continually trying to come through the left tackle/guard spot.
 

Just like the last drive last week.

 

And, speaking of last week. Same scenario this week. The Giants attacked Johnson with a tight end and a decent throw beats the Bills. This week? Same thing. The Patriots attacked Johnson and won.

 

Sean McDermott cost the Buffalo Bills a win today by sheer stupidity.

 

Not stating the obvious to anyone here…our coaching staff is severely letting this team down.

This is nothing new here. Watch playoff after playoff game for the last five years and you can say the same exact thing. 

 

This is why McD needs to go. The Bills need new leadership and philosophy.

I personally have been done with McDermott after 13 secs.  It was unforgivable to me. I think he peaked, along with Beane.  It's time to move on while we still have Josh Allen and take a chance at winning it all.  Our current staff is not doing that

Holly wood might have peaked too. in fact the whole franchise is starting to look like it peaked…. Just long and good enough to garner the sucker taxpayers to pony up for the stadium. 🤔

I thought it was good as the blitzes also shut down the run. It changed the dynamic of the game. If anything the quick passes were what killed us, especially some unfortunate missed tackles. Jackson struggled mightily in tackling. I believe this was also a very game penalty wise for the secondary. Benford, Jackson, and Johnson all committed penalties, and missed tackles. It was difficult to watch but as Dorsey and McDermott say, players need to execute. I just feel like there wasn’t enough complimentary football, and the coaches put guys in position to make plays and they came up short due to poor execution. Not really on the coaches. Perhaps Beane has left the reserve depth cupboards bare?

Enough “complimentary football”? What does that even mean? I know that has been a catch phrase of McDermott as of late but is that a new way to say we aren’t executing?

Today was the full McD experience:

 

- team flat as hell for 2.5 quarters

- one or two dumb timeout usages

- vaunted defense that he crafted can't get a stop when sorely needed

 

Defense folded like a cheap suit today, and that was the second week in a row. Pure luck and indifference by a ref saved us las week. No such luck this week (maybe bad luck as the Pats lineman WAS downfield on the big play by Stevenson).2

Coaches look great when what they do works, not great when it doesn't. If you knew the chess that went into why they do certain things versus another you're eyes would glass over within 5 seconds of the explanation because you wouldn't understand WTF he was talking about.

 

These are not complicated concepts. McVay is a genius for having his receivers run across the field at different depths. McDaniels is a genius for having his receivers already running when the ball is snapped. Belichick is a genius for double covering the opponent's best receiver.

 

Like give me a break.

[Andy1]

Patriots won both sides of the lines. Missing Daquan and Ed hurts. O line needs to be better. Long season to go.

[BillStime]

Let’s not forget about the debacle at home on January 22, 2023.

 

Time’s up McDermott - we cannot waste our franchise QB.

 

 

 

 

[Gunsgoodtime]

McDermott was fantastic for this organization and deserves every bit of praise he gets.  However, he peaked years ago, he is a defensive coach.  Sometimes to get the job done you got to get rid of the guy in the way

[BillStime]

I also HATE the FanDuel cold night in Buffalo commercial. 
 
There - I said it.

 

lmao

[since79]

I thought I heard somewhere recently McDermott scripts his D at the start of the game.  Can you imagine, calling a D by script.  Down and distance does not matter I guess.  No wonder our drops are consistently beyond the sticks.  If this is the case, it’s fireable to me.

Yes. It means that all three units to execute at a high level, as the other team gets paid too. It’s hard to win the NFL. Ask Belichick who won his 300th game today. It’s only fitting his milestone win came against the Bills, the team he has the most wins against. 
 

As far as complementary football goes, the ST gave up a big return and Bass missed a FG. Do better on one of those and the throw to Diggs at the end means a FG wins the game. As far as the defense goes, we were a step too slow on some of those big plays, including the big screen pass that setup the game winning touchdown. Better execution and we stop them for a minimal gain. 
 

Point is complimentary football starts with the coaches dialing up the plays and the players executing. I don’t see how McDermott can be blamed for players inability to make plays.

He should have taken the illegal contact penalty. Would have given the Bills another down and allowed them to take time off the clock.

Agreed my buddy and I were saying this. Gives ya four more downs from the 4 allows ya to run it and kill precious clock time

There are a lot of execution issues, which fall on the shoulders of the players, but there are also plenty of coaching issues as well.

 

How does the announcer see the poor slant leverage by Taron Johnson the previous play, but our coaches don’t?

 

Belichick and Co saw it, and immediately took advantage of it.

 

I will always credit McDermott for turning this franchise around. But there are so many deficiencies that show up on coaching.

Newsflash it wasn't McDermott who turned this team around it was drafting allen and acquiring diggs first and foremost...now McDermott has neutered half of what makes allen elite....FIRE THIS CONSERVATIVE PAST HIS TIME BUFFON

I’ve been saying this for a while but the pegulas are in over their heads and feel comfortable enough with him and beane at the helm. It’s why they gave them an extension over the summer which was ridiculous. 

Hiring the panthers cast offs and their reject players should have raised alarms two yrs ago ......instead we will blame execution by the players and injuries..McDermott is the problem and always has been.....his peak isn't even the 13s debacle as without daboll we don't even make it to that point

How about accepting that penalty near the goal line that would have given the Bill a first goal at the 2.  Patriots would have been forced to use their timeouts,  again bad coaching and not thinking ahead.
