John from Riverside Posted January 23 Posted January 23 I really needed to take the night to process all of this at the end of the day, the defensive injuries were just too hard to overcome. We were playing back ups at several positions, not one or two, but several the only part of our defense that was intact was our line. We were playing back up in the secondary and the linebacker positions multiple places We forced one punt 1 Quote

No team is going deep in the playoffs with that No. I saw a patchwork, aging, semi-injuried group of mostly second stringers trying to piece together a win. So cut some slack.

TheBrownBear Posted January 23 Posted January 23 The defense has let him down and it isn't just bad luck. Bad luck is what happened to Marty Schottenheimer over the years with Ernest Byner and Marlon McCree fumbling away victories. What we witnessed over the last four playoff losses isn't bad luck. They have been complete failures in defensive game planning and/or execution. Quote

NeverOutNick Posted January 23 Posted January 23 “Why can’t McD win with all this ?” Because he’s an average HC and a decent d coordinator who lucked into having a once in a generation talent at QB and is holding on for dear life making every excuse in the book to keep this job before he never gets a chance like this again. In the meantime we have to watch the best player our franchise has ever had settle for mediocrity around him because ownership is ok with just making the playoffs and winning the division year in and year out (which is great if you didn’t have the above mentioned superstar unbelievable talent at QB that any HC in the world would give their left nut to coach) and of course Beane is going to spin it that we’re on the rise and next year will be the year because he doesn’t have the balls to call out his buddy that got him the job…why’s that Beane? Because ultimately he probably feels if McD goes the new coach is going to bring in his own GM. 🤷🏻♂️ 2 1 1 Quote

JMM Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Again, until this year I was a big McDermott supporter. But you look at that, and the stat of only team with 58 wins over 5 years with no SB, it simply SCREAMS that's on coaching. Doesn't it?? 5 Quote

F. U. Evidently the six game winning streak when our offense couldn't score enough points so our D and special teams helped are long forgotten... if we make that FG and win the game all of this is moot. People are acting like the Chiefs kicked our as*es and it's ridiculous. 1 1 Quote

I'm not saying McD is the guy or that his seat shouldn't be hot. But he did a better job w/ that shell of a D than most would have. & We won't win w/ some of the players we've got no matter who the HC is. There's no legit WR-1 to help Allen on this team. Diggs is a WR-2. You're 100% right we are wasting Allen's prime, that WR Corp only has Shakir as a reliable weapon for him. We've got Kincaid & Cook, but we need more/better deep threat weapons so when he unleashes that cannon someone actually catches the GD ball. 1 Quote
LABILLBACKER Posted January 23 Posted January 23 He puts together just a good enough defense and system to help Josh get 11+ wins each year. But once the playoffs start everything about his defense crashes down. And until he's gone this will continue every year. He's terrible scheming against elite teams/ qbs. 5 minutes ago, JMM said: Again, until this year I was a big McDermott supporter.

No, in no way am I making an excuse for him. I'm just saying the injuries played a huge factor. I didn't like Klein in. I think Williams should have started. I think Neal should have covered Kelce much earlier. I think they should have pressured more. He's also at fault 1 Quote
BullBuchanan Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Why do you think the Bills should have won? The strategy seemed pretty sound given our injuries and the opponent to make the game as short as possible. We went into the half with the lead and with less than two minutes on the clock we had a chance to go up 4 and the players didn't execute. I never wanted McDermott hired int he first place and will be glad to see him canned, but what exactly did you want him to do that he didn't do yesterday? Our team was outclassed in every phase and still had a chance to win. I give him credit for that. 1 Quote

Yes, the offense was the one giving up 7 yards a pop to Pacheco. Freaking offense needs to play better Quote

Was there or was there not other options, players, game plan etc, he's the defensive mastermind right? In past games against the chefs they used Neal to cover kelce. One game he was pretty good another iirc he got called for a bunch of penalties, some questionable and Kelce had better day. Why wait until the second half to use Neal when it was clear Klein was struggling early in the game. There was a few things McDermott could have changed earlier to slow them down but he briefly tried Williams and that was it for a while. 1 Quote
billsfan3482 Posted January 23 Posted January 23 (edited) Its crazy but I'm jealous of Detroit and how well campbell has that team playing? 3rd year coach has his team ready and playing hard every week, the team is playing like a well oiled machine. Hell, we almost lost to them last year. I personally feel like they will beat the 49ers with ease and go to the super bowl. Mcdormett has gone as far as he can go. The proof is in the zero progress we make every year. He cant beat the chiefs in the playoffs, Burrow and the bengals seemed to move the ball with ease against this defense. Id hate to have a OC Brady affect again, when he took over and had success, we all including myself said "Dorsey should have been fired SOONER". Edited January 23 by billsfan3482 Quote

They didn’t capitalize on the opportunities that were in front of them, again. Edited January 23 by PepeSilvia 1 Quote
