"The Process"

 

 

I've started to see this pop up on various social media and it's the most painful sports graphic I've ever seen.

KC 13 seconds

Minnesota snap fumble knock it down Lewis

 

(Must be recency bias because…)

 

Denver 12 men on the field

 

Philly waste TOs to ensure OT loss

The blame on that one goes to Cam Lewis IMO. 

It's tough though, any game where you can blame the D, of which there are plenty, falls directly on MCD, and his outdated, soft scheme, full of undersized players

At least we don't have fake spike, butt fumble and hail mary pick 6. We got that going for us.

You’re right. The game shouldn’t have been in that position but we were due to other players; you and @DrDawkinstein are correct about that. 
 

if there’s blame on one guy for one singular play for us to come out with a loss, it’s that Cam Lewis play. Guy was on #18’s shoulders 😂

Losing to Mac Jones in 2023 seems like an impossible task Mcclappy achieved

Along with Zach Wilson.

[BillsSbSoon]

Vikings loss has to be on there too

[C.Biscuit97]

wide Right

tennesse forward pass

no goal 
 

Let’s be honest. Painful Buffalo losses were happening long before McClappy was a coach. Buffalo is cursed.

Need to change this to the 8 wonders of the world or some other earthly phenomenon with a higher multiple.

[BeastMaster]

Too many colossal failures to pick from, sadly

 

McDermott shouldn't have the privilege of coaching this team

The Vikings didnt even score on that drive. The Bills were up 27-23. The Defense stopped them on the goal line, and got the ball back with the lead 27-23. The Cam Lewis play should have been irrelevant as long as our Center and QB execute a simple snap. That loss was NOT on Cam Lewis.

[Ridgewaycynic2013]

Which is worse?

Defending with 12 or defending with 10? 🤔

https://www.espn.com/blog/buffalo-bills/post/_/id/27086/rex-ryan-calls-bills-10-men-mistake-most-ridiculous-thing-hes-seen

You have to admit, there's no penalty attached to too few defenders.

[JaCrispy]

McD is good for at least 2-3 EPIC losses per year…He lacks the  balls and confidence to lead this team to the promised land…

 

swipe left…😉

WGR has a great discussion topic. What are the top 4 worst loses for the Bills in McDermott's tenure? The Mount Rushmore for McDermott?

 

This does not mean the loss is blamed on him - just the loss was under his term.

 

My submission:

1. 13 seconds

2. Kneel down

3. Peterman's 5 picks

4. Urban Meyers Jaguars

I have to say it.. losing to the Mac Jones led Patriots and his defense giving up 29 points to the worst O in the NFL.  That has be one of the worst losses. 

[technobot]

DrDawkinstein's starter pack gif said it all, and that's just from 2019. 

 

I see that stats, analysis and rankings that clearly state McDermott is a sound defensive mind, and I truly believe this is the case against the bottom to mushy middle of the NFL.

 

It just seems against good - elite teams, pucker up that rectum if it's a one score game going into the two-minute warning.

 

It also seems like we have a fetish with ensuring the other team has at least a shot at the endzone for a hail mary or miracle type play if they need it.

 

Missed a glorious opportunity to add the Giants and Bucs to this list.

I love WGR, when my break comes, I run outside...

Just this year, The Jests, Broncos and Pats**  Hardly 'elite' teams.  He is now known for playing down to opponents. 

 

I am a die hard McDermott supporter, it is time for new leadership while we still have an elite QB/ realistic shot at a championship.

Jeremy quickly clarified that it should be about coaching decisions only, since he doesn't have control over fumbles, etc.

 

So worst decisions for me would be....

 

1: Trading Mahomes Pick

2: 13 seconds

3: Prioritizing Dlinemen over weapons for Josh.

4: Letting inexperienced play caller be OC in Josh's prime.

 

The Philly Kneel, Peterman start, and thinking he would do better than Leslie are really bad, but don't make the top 4 in my opinion.
