I'd take him over McD for sure. But someone like a Ben Johnson makes so much sense. I wouldn’t be opposed to Ben Johnson, by any means, but offense isn’t the reason this team falters regularly in the post season. Quote

He’s beaten Mahomes in the playoffs in Arrowhead. I have confidence with a QB like Josh he would build a monster defense to support his QB, idk why, but I think he’s got some experience in how to win with elite QBs. idc that’s he 72 if his mind is still sharp. I'm sick and tired of waiting around (6 years now) for Sean McDermott to build a playoff defense. Media is downgrading Josh's accomplishments because he's expected to score 30-40 points every playoff game. And that narrative exists because McDermott's yearly defense can't do squat in the playoffs. 2 Quote

What about the blown lead against the Texans? Giving up 38 and 42 points in consecutive years to KC when the D was relatively healthy? Or having so much trouble stopping Phillip Rivers and the Colts and needing Josh to be a superhero that day, or almost losing to Skylar Thompson? Or getting shredded by Cincinnati last year? McD's defense gets gutted in these big games against top teams on a consistent basis, healthy or not. Like you mentioned for 13 seconds, his in-game coaching is also a problem. So in your opinion...what is it exactly that McD does bring to the table if his defense that gets a heavy amount of resources can't stop anyone when it matters most, he's not a good in-game manager, and he obviously has a hard time identifying and hiring good coordinators given the evidence of how many he's having to fire? With another ST coordinator firing likely on the way here. 1 3 Quote

Overblame coaching. Underblame player performance. Because it is reassuring "well if we just get rid of this useless coach it will all be better..." I blame McDermott for the things that I really think are his fault. This idea that if you don't think he should be fired you must just be a McDermott homer who defends everything he does is totally wrong. Believe me if I thought Sean McDermott was the reason the Bills can't get over the hump I'd have my pitchfork out. I watch the all22 each week I don't, for the most part, see a badly coached football team. Even in the playoffs - with that one exception. Edited January 22 by GunnerBill 1 1 1 Quote
Scott7975 Posted January 22 Posted January 22 (edited) I probably would, but it isn't going to happen. I appreciate that he rallied to get to the 2 seed but this guy I don't think ever gets us over the hump. The right thing to do is embrace Josh Allen and pump high end talent into the offense. What is likely to happen is most of our resources yet again going to the defense because a lot of these guys we have now are gone. Get ready for another season of all the best resources going to the defense. Edited January 22 by Scott7975 1 Quote

Literally… He gave up 31 just last year to Skylar Thompson in a home playoff game, I’m surprised anybody was actually expecting a win yesterday. When I saw him insisting on putting AJ Klein into coverage, rather than just go 3 safety and make Pacheco and the ground game beat you, I knew it was over and there would be no stopping Mahomes.

It’s his McDefense that keeps getting embarrassed every single post season. How is it NOT him? either A-he’s not getting his players prepared to play or B-the game plan was proper ***** or C-he gets out coached in game and situationally or McD- all of the above. Either way, the defense that routinely falls short in big games, and every single post season, over more than half a decade, suffers from one common McDenominator… somewhere along the way come playoff time he’s doing something wrong whether it be preparation, execution or in game adjustments and decision making, he lets the team down… every single year. Josh LITERALLY playing the perfect game wasn’t enough, 13 seconds was too much time for him to do his part, it will never be enough with MiDermott at the wheel. He had his ultimate chance at redemption last night, and he blew it. Time to send him back to Carolina. 3 1 2 Quote
Dablitzkrieg Posted January 23 Posted January 23 (edited) Did you see the garbage, aging, and slow defense out there? No team is going deep in the playoffs with that Edited January 23 by Dablitzkrieg 1 1 Quote
Best Williams Available Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Because the D can’t withstand potent offenses like the Bengals and Chiefs AND/OR the O isn’t designed to win in a shootout vs such offenses (12 personnel, rushing attack). 2 Quote
GoBills808 Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Heard some stat today that in the history of the NFL there have been 3 seasons where a QB accounted for 50+TDs regular/postseason and didn't make the championship Allen has 2 of them lol 1 1 Quote
Bob Jones Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Sometimes the right answer is the most obvious answer: because it’s a team sport. No matter how good ONE guy is, ya need a lot more than that. 2 Quote

Goin Breakdown Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Because the rest of this is injured, old and rental players. Quote
Freddie's Dead Posted January 23 Posted January 23 (edited) McDummy and his coaching staff are inferior to KC and Cincinnati. When Burrow is back, we're #3. It won't change without a new coaching staff, but clearly that ain't happening. We're *****. Edited January 23 by Freddie's Dead Quote
