McDermott answers why we stopped uptempo offense

And you know that how? ..um usually HCs have full control over who they hire and fire as far as coordinators ....but that's besides the point...McDermott doesn't want to fire any of his hand picked "YES" men....he can and does control everyone on this staff including his GM whom he brought over from Carolina lol...why do you think it's been so uneven with top draft picks and FA going to the defense side of the ball....McDermott gives bean his shopping list and bean goes and gets McDermott wishes

The ownership would still have to pay the contract so I definitely believe they would have to approve of the firing….just as if Beane wanted to fire McDermott.

Same as 2018 would have been if not for hitting on a young Josh Allen. 6-10 could have easily been 4-12 with Tyrod still at the helm and our level of talent.

I was patient with him, but I'm done with him now. He has to go. After 13 seconds, he tried to sweep it under the rug, but they clearly screwed up. 

 

Now watching him throttle down this offense is too much.

 

100% agreement.  I was never big on McD to begin with.  His credentials were maybe not weak, but hardly strong when Pegula hired him.  13-Seconds dit if for me at that point as well.  It's been downhill ever since, now drastically downhill.  

 

This can't be a good situation for the team.  (players, coaches, etc.)  

 

As pointed out before, Pegula's gotta think about this PSLs and ST sales in the  new stadium.  What's going on now is hardly good marketing while you're trying to ratched up ticket prices by double or so, while adding PSL fees on top of it. 

 

Anyway, I was being facetious.

Urgent message for coach McD,

Open butt and insert head !!!

 

 

 

McD is a absolute joke.

His production against TB was a mirage. They ran a bunch of crazy off coverages and gave him free access that he never normally gets. On his TD it was a busted coverage.Davis does not separate in short areas if the defense makes an effort to stop him. But the Bucs defense is a joke.

As was JVille right?

 

This team has one problem & it’s the head coach. Anyone who denies it is in la la land.

The Bucs D is horrible, but particularly vs the pass: 31st in yards given up, 31st in net yards per attempt, and 27th in TD passes surrendered. And they didn't have Vita Vea in that game against the Bills either. He's genuinely good.

Yes. All of his production came late when the Jaguars defense went to sleep. When we needed someone, ANYONE, to make a play for the offense earlier in the game, Davis was MIA. Somehow my opinion of him has gotten even lower this year. I'm starting to think my comparison to Marquez Valdes-Scantling was too kind.

One of the dumbest non-answers ever. Like seriously. What the ***** does that mean.

That is called “I don’t owe you an explanation, but I have to say something, so here it is”.

Not sure if this has been said but they had to get away from it because the defense was getting worn down.

Our O has turned into our D. 

 

O - McD wants take what the D gives you. He will take 2-3 yards every play hoping you can get 3-4 on some of them and keep the chains moving. His dream is a 18 play 75 yard drive with 7 first downs. 

D - McD has the similar approach. We will give you a ton of space and thrive on you making a mistake. Dropped passes, penalties, sacks, etc. You may get first down after first down but at some point you will get set back.

That is fear talking. If we go uptempo then we risk the D getting on the field faster if we cant get first downs. So lets go slow and not get first downs so they at least get an extra minute of rest.

McD's philosophy makes sense when you don't have a good team.  You want to take as much time as possible and limit drives. 

 

When you have Josh Allen, a top 2 QB, and Diggs, a top 3WR, and Kincaid, a top 10 TE, and Davis, a top96 WR, you need to throw that philosophy out the window and go high powered.  The team with the most points win, and as long as the game stays that way offense will always be considerably more important.

Which is why they look better when playing either desperate or when the other team gives up. This idea of managing the game, limiting mistakes, playing "smart", etc just does not work with this team. They turned a corner a few years ago when they started taking chances and playing "fun" football. They are back to playing scared and grinding the life out of you.

Subsequent to that statement will invariably be, "Hey does anyone have a Toblerone?"

 

It is two fold, first it gets them off the subject of how badly the team is playing and secondly it confuses people by forcing them  to ask themselves whether they even know what a Toblerone is (we've all *heard* of it), whether they've had one before (please) and whether it is a candy or some sort of European beef stick (it might be both).

 

Next level chess, people.

 

Go Bills!

I would rather watch a team with a chance to beat anyone than a team that we cover our eyes and hope they don't lose by 30. 

 

You think you're funny or something? 

 

Sorry I'm not just a standard knee-jerk Bills fan that wants a little nuance. 

 

If we fire him, I hope we make the Super Bowl and he beats us. I really do. We would 100% deserve it. 

So you are cool with “good enough” and won’t take a chance to be great.  This fear the world mentality gets you no where.

You were really close to nailing it, but then you went the opposite direction.  There were 6 star players on the field Sunday night, and 2 of them were wearing blue.  The last thing Buffalo wants to do is get into a track meet against the Bengals.  The Bills defense is spending a ton of snaps on players who were intended to be their depth.  Now you want them to extend the number of possessions and wear down their defense even more?

 

Cincy’s offense against Buffalo’s defense is a mismatch.  Even if you’re convinced that Buffalo’s offense has an edge over Cincy’s defense, the gap isn’t nearly as wide.  The more possessions in the game, the larger the advantage the Bengals have.
