with what talent on defense should the Bills be doing this? You’re essentially blaming McDermott for being good enough to get this duct defense to play well enough to keep the bills in games.

 

Dodson was spying Hurts. DODSON. That is the level of injuries and roster McDermott was handed. 
 

Against a top 3 offense in the NFL.

 

 

I’m tired of the injury excuses.  There’s piles of injuries all over the league.

They why is Dodson in there spying hurts?  Throw in the speedier rookie and let him spy hurts.  

 

That again is on the HC.  

 

 

Because the rookie doesn’t know how to play football. Cards McDermott was dealt 

[Drew21PA]

I credit Brady for the game last night

 

he did everything to win and won it several times 

 

McDermott left him down 

[Ramza86]

yes...because all of that adversity we had to go through...MCDUMBASS still reverted back to his cowardly ways and we paid the price YET AGAIN. This time its going to cost us the playoffs and his job.

The bills are not a talented football team. Their defense is bottom 15 in terms of talent. The WR corps is probably bottom 10. 

 

If so, then that is a direct indictment on McDermott and Beane who built this team.

I didn’t like his kneeling either. What are the odds the Bills score if they go for it?

[HOUSE]

This means Buffalo will be ranked #2

How is it possible for the Bills be this under talented and yet still some games like they did against the Dolphins and yes against the Eagles? 
 

could it be that McDermott and Allen actually have this team playing better than it’s talent levels at this point? 

 

Yeah, you are. Starting a thread titled, 'Bills took the best team in the NFL to OT…' is the very definition of taking a moral victory. Spin it any way you like.

Beane much moreso than McDermott. Even then Beane and McDermott don’t control injuries. And the primary issue has been injuries to the D, and then of course Dorsey struggling

I wasn’t happy with the loss. 
 

I am fairly angry at the entitlement and treatment of McDermott. Mostly at the entitlement honestly

With 1 timeout. not ideal....but he threw away yet another time out to ice the kicker.

 

20 timeouts with 20 seconds. Worth the attempt.

[appoo]

Reality is that pretty much every other coach in the NFL has the Bills pretty much where they are, maybe 1-2 wins more. The majority of coaches would have a sub 500 record with this roster

More so McDippy for not being able to put together a starting caliber defense despite being a defensive coach that has been handed every draft pick and FA he’s ever wanted.

I guarantee he’s the one that needed to have him in the 3rd round of the draft. So if he cannot get hik ready to play it’s his fault. Same with Elam. Same with Epenesa for most of his career. Same with Basham. Same with his 17 players he rotates on the defensive line. 

 

Just stop. You look silly.

This game individually was not a bad effort, but the team desperately needed this win to offset what Happened in the new England and Denver games.   Something is not right with how the team responds to clutch situations.   The Eagles found a way to win, we found a way to lose.   That is the difference between a pretty good and a top tier team.  I appreciate what McDermott did to get us out of the drought era, but we need to move on to take that next step.

While having a huge chunk of their salary cap on IR or basically washed 

 

whole fighting the refs in a horrifically officiated game 

 

while at a decided talent disadvantage on both sides of the ball 

 

on the road 

 

and y’all want to fire the head coach who’s has had nothing but 10+ win seasons for like 4 years in a row now?

 

It took the Eagles kicking a SIXTY YARD FG IN THE RAIN to get to OT. The Eagles had a better DVOA than the Bills.

 

There was no reasonable analysis that had the Bills winning this football game before the snap. 
 

Literally demanding the HC be fired for EXCEEDING expectations 

 

Nah this ain’t it 

Moral victory season!!! Hang the banner for a hard-fought loss against a good team!! Congrats to all involved in the narrow defeat!!

He took Tyrod Taylor to 9 wins and the playoffs man

 

Yeah and then he took Tyrod Taylor to an astounding 3 whole points in those playoffs. 

 

I'll be forever grateful that the guy broke the drought, no doubt. But Marrone's Bills finished 9-7 his first year, too. If the standings fall the right way that year, he breaks the playoff drought with, uh... Kyle Orton, lol. 

[SoCal Deek]

All that’s left now is for a certain veteran poster to come on and tell us it doesn’t matter because McDs heart is in the right place.

so does McDermott get full credit for Josh Allen in your world? And all the other hits from the draft? Or just the ones that don’t immediately pan out well?
