This years Bills exemplified today...a few thoughts

[ALLinALLEN]

This game was amazing...it had EVERY Bills stigma it could've had.

 

Bills had 11 penalties for 80 yards...Eagles had 4 for 30 and should've had 5 more in big spots (because of course they didnt). Because of course.

 

Bills blew a 10 point lead. Because of course.

 

Guy hits a 59 yard field goal to tie, because of course. - Never happens to us.

 

THIS TEAM is so ***** soft on defense when it matters. We've become a defense that just CRUMBLES and GASHES yards when it matters. THIS IS ON MCDERMOTT. Allen was INCREDIBLE today minus the pick - he put them in multiple positions to win and McD just ruined it with his absolutely soft piss poor defense calls.

 

WHY after having such a great game on D, do the Bills just absolutely crumble when the game matters the most?

 

Mcdermott. Timeout before the field goal - WHAT ARE YOU DOING.

 

This game to me has Allen/Diggs lost confidence in McD. I can't imagine their mindset right now. 

 

Positives - Allen is amazing. He is an absolute stud and what we need to win the big one. His coach hampers him. People will reply to this with his pick - but he is it. 

 

Also - Bills heart-attack because of course it was.

 

Finally - just to be clear - every single game the Bills D crumbles when its a "final drive" or "must have stop".... its a joke.

 

This team is hampered by the coach and it wont change until we change that.

of course.

 

Seen this script way too many times and it never seems to change.

Problem was he totally adjusted his play calling and decision making from a coaching standpoint toward the end of the game. 
 

He coached not to lose. Went into his cover 4 shell and hope and error or pressure is made. Last week the Chiefs showed you the tape on how to beat Hurts, slow the run game down and put pressure on him; guy is very tipsy turvy when in that situation. 
 

McD chose the alternate. Prevent a TD until it’s too late and you blitz at the wrong time. Some awful angles taken to the ball carrier in that final drive by Philly. 
 

Leaves a lot to be desired.

Pass rush disappears in second half

 

Davis runs a wrong route

Now your list is complete

Its not all on McDermott.  If Bass doesnt play like garbage again, we have four more points.   If Allen doesnt throw an interception at his own 30 yard line, Bills probably arent in the same situation.  Its on the entire team.  Its a confederacy of dunces right now.

Jets game 1, jax (kind of), Denver, New England, Cincinnati, and now Philly.

 

If we have less than a 2 score lead and the opponent has the ball last, we lose.

 

Injuries or not, this is a badly performing d when the chips are down.  And we have dumped all our gold into d.

 

I'd keep Brady if I could, have to see the rest of the season, but barring a huge turn around, either the entire coaching staff (less Brady,maybe) or the entire front office has to go

I forgot to add that but thought I did enough with the "of course". 

 

Just a classic bills loss here.

I was blinded by the other blunders...but thank you. 

[Returntoglory]

You get the idea. 

 

Today's game was a comedy of errors. 

 

We need to be put out of our misery ASAP!

 

Thank God we still have the Sabres....oh wait.....

This reference is entirely too literate for this forum.

 

Takeyour well-reasoned literate posts elsewhere.

Sometimes you just have to think it's just not your year and the football gods simply use their fingers to control things at key times so that no matter what, you can't win.  

 

That's pretty much where I am at.  Sometimes as a fan just have to shrug and say it's not our season. The improbable losses to bad teams...the improbable plays leading to losses in this game...basic stuff that we fail to do at certain times that they do in their sleep normally...

 

Just have to shake my head and laugh sometimes.

Not true at all...that was in the 3rd Q....

Or maybe our head coach is a gutless coward who chokes away every single big game we're ever in

[Bferra13]

Granato HAS to go. If we are doing this. Bills need better luck and some balls in overtime. Sad all the way around

[Buffarukus]

We have the absolute worst prevent D under mcd. Havent learned a thing from 13 sec. Our guys cant track a lob or jump anyways but lets gift them 10 yard chunks down the field. 

 

Id love to be down in the 4rth or ot against a mcdermott D. March right down every single time.

If it was just that then fair...the number of easy plays the Bills had to end the game was immense.  Kickers making a kick in those conditions from 60 yards with a likely 3% chance of making it goes wide or short against every other team except us.

There is literally nothing McD can do to have you judge him objectively. He has been absolutely horrendous at late game management...really his whole career but has had a QB bail him out countless times...but it's been exposed to everyone this year. You're either just in denial or have just taken a defend him at all costs schtick at this point.

All I am saying is it would be nice to even have 50% of the "luck" other teams seem to have in these situations.  The Eagles just won last week because MVS dropped a wide open TD pass in the endzone after having his defender beat by like 5 steps.

 

But I am sure it was a "great coaching job" by Sirianni to dial up a mirror in his pocket that he shone in MVS's eyes at the perfect time for him to drop that ball.

 

When do we get some of that in these games?

For perspective, I threw my dining room table out the back window this day.

You’re still doing the same thing. You won’t acknowledge individually the late game blunders and chokejobs McD has had, instead deflecting to other things. Nobody even mentioned Sirianni.
