McDermott is wrong for the right reasons

[BBFL]

Mental. Absolutely mental take. 
 

After this game I’m on the fire McD train…

 

And now the fire FireChans train…

JFC. 

 

[TSOL]

Josh threw 51 attempts and 1 int tonight. Josh is not the problem.

Apparently not. We lost. And Josh's TO gave the Eagles their first lead since the second Q when they were already whipping our D in the second half.

I said “should” be able to win the game. 
 

“Apparently” something needs to change. 
 

Are you suggesting we change Josh Allen?

the INT gave the Eagles the lead. It was the single biggest mistake on offense tonight.

 

Turnovers matter. I know everyone is emotional that the defense sucked (it did), but turnovers will always matter.

I made my suggestions in the OP. If he is incapable of playing clean football, we need to surround him with playmakers so it is easier to overcome and score more.

You know Jalen Hurts had two turnovers right??

Maybe you are.playing devils advocate with this thread, I don't know what your point is, but without Josh this game would have been 10 to 37. 

[Governor]

The int didn’t affect the game at all. We scored a few minutes later.

 

This is another game entirely on McD down the stretch. All he does is blow close games.

Of course, outside of that INT Josh played really well.

I do. And if they had lost the game, it would have been the biggest reason why.

The primary reason the bills lost was because their D collapsed again.

Plain and simple.

 

McDermotts defence

[MikePJ76]

blaming the qb...Amazing.

 

You are one of the people who said you would trade places with Houston...

 

Please do

Turnovers matter so much that hurts had two today and won the game.

Sherfield and Harty were busts. Davis needs to walk. They need to bring in a legitimate #2 receiver and a deep threat.

 

The safety position needs an overhaul too.

I think the WR coach needs to be under fire, because Sherfield and Davis both made idiotic choices on potential touchdown throws. Davis is in a contract year, he obviously WANTS o be as good as he can be. You can see him owning the failure. Who is coaching these guys to mess up?

Hurts INT and Fumble guess the Eagles double lossed....oh they must of canceled out.

We all know McD wants complementary football, he wants a strong running attack to help control TOP. There are mixed opinions on this.

 

The reason McD wants this is because:

 

1. This defense is not that good (and significantly injured)

 

2. Josh Allen turns the ball over to turn wins into losses

 

Just now, we lost an Eagles game where we had 10 pt lead for a large portion of the game.

The Eagles started to come back, but we matched them for score. Until Josh threw, yet another, bad decision INT, gave them the short field, which gave them the lead and control of this game.

 

Josh Allen is incapable of playing clean football, and this is going to continue to cost the Bills wins.  Maybe McD is right and ball control is the way to go.

 

I personally think we need to surround Josh with playmakers so when he, inevitably it seems, tries to give the game away, we can score fast and outpace his mental errors.

 

But McD isn't wrong about the problem, I think he's wrong about the solution.

 

You're honestly such a freaking troll. Watch more football. Josh Allen was the reason the Bills weren't merely in that game but should have won it.

 

Did Josh drop a perfect pass that would have been a TD?

 

No, that was Cook.

 

Did Josh miss 2 FGs?

 

No, that was Bass.

 

Did Josh run the wrong route on what would have been the GW TD? 

 

No, that was Davis.

 

Josh was Hercules today and his team let him down. That includes his HC, because I agree with you on the McDermott stuff.

 

But give me a ***** break. Josh was a Hero today. Go root for another team if you think that level of QB play isn't enough.

We lost, in part, because Josh gave the Eagles 6 points and the lead.

JOSH ALLEN JUST PLAYED A MONSTER OF A FOOTBALL GAME.

 

HE WAS A BEAST.

 

And the OP comes up with this?

 

 BYE BYE MCDIMWITT...YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED.

 

 

 

The OP decided today was a really good day to show his true colors. He's either a troll or a moron and I can't figure out which.

 

Anyone legitimately putting any significant chunk of blame of this loss on Allen is simply either stupid or a troll. I'm not even violating CoC here because this is just true. @FireChans should really be apologizing to all of us for either being blatantly wrong or blatantly trying to troll all of us.

So if McD beats the Dolphins in week 17, he should keep his job?

Yes if he makes the playoffs and beats the Dolphins he should get one more chance in 2024. I'm just being realistic. No way he is getting fired if he gets this team to the playoffs from here.

Reality is he has almost zero chance of getting fired unless Allen gives Pegula an ultimatum which is not going to happen. But if the defense somehow fails in a win or go home scenario in week 17 maybe Pegula will be mad enough to make a change.
