Three losses on defense & special teams.  Jets, NE & Denver......  But don't foget the "Process"....

 

Josh has to take a huge the blame for Jets. Yesterday was a mess from the offense all round. If they played to just an average level we would have won both. 

 

The Pats... yeah, how they allowed them to get to 29 was a joke.

[DuckyBoys]

lets face it he cant finish close games  Not in his dna Sorry couldnt resist

[Negan]

McDermott throwing his team under the bus.  He lost the locker room.

 

McDermott wants to preach accountability, but never has met it his entire life.

Regardless the Defense or where McD has made his mark has let the team down over and over.  Three games ended with the defense on the field.

They should have lost to the Giants as well - only avoided it due to a missed DPI. And they came so close to allowing another Hail Mary against the Bucs.

 

Unless the offense gives them a double digit lead for the final drive, the defense cannot cope, that much is true. And we've seen that with key components available so it isn't just down to injuries.

They even called a timeout the play before, lol.  Good God!!!

This is the most inexcusable part of all. They are going for a FG, They are kneeling down. Why in the F would you not have the correct 11 men on the field for both downs? 3rd and 4th? No need to substitute at all (unless of course they had 12 men on the 3rd down play too?).

Bingo! We can all go back and forth all day long about different things that happened throughout the course of the game but football is a situational strategy game. It all comes down to what you do in the second half of the fourth quarter….and the Bills (McDs) defense has been nothing short of a situational disaster. They HAD TO get off the field on that last drive, and yet again, they couldn’t.

Couldn’t count up to 12”

Yeah this is the season that Rex and Greg Roman may not be so bad. The team should be playing more conservative since the QB is a bit of a mental case right now. Not blaming him solely for last night though. but the first halves have been atrocious 

i was thinking about that during pregame coverage listening to cilps from mcdermott.

 

i actually think i preferred rex to mcd in pressers and all because at least rex was entertaining and lively without the canned responses.

I've been saying it since 13 seconds that McDermott needs to go, what a loser. This guy is out of his element as head coach. What a waste of Josh Allen.

And hire who?  I get it, this loss sucks.  We aren't out of it yet.  The offense did some good things.  Josh and Cook handed the ball over way too many times and we still almost won.  The Broncos beat the chiefs not that long ago.  No changes til the end of the year.  And that's only if there needs to be.

Screw it, hire the crew from Cover 1. 
 

That would be fresh and innovative 😁

Cover1 boys were telling us all season Kenny was doing a good job. No thanks

I always wondered (and kind of dreaded) what the back end of 'the process' and 'family, faith, and football" would look like.  

 

In this league, to stay good, these franchises need to be ruthless and make hard decisions at certain points.  The right players need to be identified and kept, but others need to be allowed to walk to pursue bigger contracts or get traded.  Free draft picks for replacements.

 

Everyone there from coaches on down are way too comfortable, and that probably includes the quarterback who has lost his way and my eyeballs say he seems to have lost fire and motivation.  Everyone is fat and happy, getting older and brittle.  The coach seems to be getting more and more rigid and stubborn, circling his wagons if you will.

 

Our ownership will not make any meaningful changes.  McDermott and Beane are teflon.  I will say there might be only 1 win remaining on the schedule, and frustration and drama could bubble to the surface, and maybe that would force a coaching change.  To be honest, as a Sabres fan, I do not really trust Pegula to make any decent hires.

Leonard Floyd stayed out.

you are probably correct..... Leonard Floyd was the only player on the field for the missed kick but not on the field for the winning kick.

If true, he should be cleaning out his locker right about now.  Dumbass.

Not so fast. The lame coaching staff had TWO timeouts to explain to their team what they wanted them to do. I’m guessing that they didn’t. McD is a moron. 

[Nuncha]

McD pretty much proved he is a better DC than head coach.  Seems like he is using this season to audition for his future DC position somewhere else.

Yes, McD needs to go, but if all the other guys who aren’t part of the FG Block team knew to get off the field, then the one guy left is the problem.
