McDermott will scapegoat himself using injuries as an excuse

You could be right, but I'm not willing to give McDermott that chance again. Part of the reason we weren't healthy is because we had to play for our season from week 11 on. We could've had a bye week and been in much better shape. McDermott is to blame for our 6-6 start.

 

Too many of these losses, and too many bad coaching decisions year after year.

 

He doesn't get to keep blowing chances while Josh is playing championship football. Four playoff losses when they should have won is enough. 

 

I hear ya.  
 

I’d have zero problem if we fired McD and hired Ben Johnson to give Josh a great offensive mind to work with.  His overall philosophy doesn’t seem able to bring home the gold without a healthy defense.  And our defense just can’t stay healthy.  
 

That said, I do not believe that we lost that game because of him.  I do believe we would have won if we had just one of our starting Lbs from opening day healthy.  I don’t think that’s too hard to ask for.  Every team remaining in the playoffs has all of their starting LBers healthy.  AJ Klein is not an nfl player at the moment and Reid took advantage of it.  
 

min fine bringing back McD and Brady-  I’m also fine if we decide to go in a different direction…..but who we replace him with will likely decide the Josh allen era fate.  We better get it right

When I need to be, yes.  And? Many on here are esp when we are dealing with this **** show.

[FilthyBeast]

I still find the injury excuse fascinating.

 

It's like the people that keep pushing this narrative believes that there is some sort of magical universe where the only NFL teams that can win big games in the playoffs or a superbowl are somehow 100% healthy all year.

 

Yes it sucks, but still not sure what reality exists where guys like Milano, White, etc haven't been 100% healthy in the playoffs and still complete no shows in big games like this. Specifically White in the 2020 AFCCG against the Chiefs and Milano in the 2021 (13 seconds) divisional. They did absolutely nothing.

 

Also for all the hype about Oliver and Daquan Jones they were among the biggest no shows yesterday in a game they needed to dominate at least 30% + percent of their one on one matches to have a chance to win.

The answer is YES… because we have Josh Allen. So the notion that McDermott can’t be fired is ridiculous. For goodness sake the Eagles almost fired Sirriani and he took them to the Super Bowl last year and made the playoffs this year. So any coach that comes in would get just as far as McDermott cause we have a top 5 QB. McDermott is a good coach but not good enough to get us a ring. There are a lot of good coaches out there, it’s time for a change.

In your title, you say "make the playoffs." In your post you say "get us a ring." Which is it? Becuase there is an ocean of difference between making the tournament and winning it.

Yes.

 

But I disagree, McD is not a good coach. He has an elite QB who overall has played great in the playoffs and has his side of the ball get lit up in every big game and moment, and is a horrendous game manager.

I said McDermott is not a good enough coach to get us a ring, that’s what we need a change.

The Bolded is all anyone needs to know.  And WTH punt on 4th and 5 when you have Allen?  Look, get Josh 2 legit WR to go with Kincaid and Shakir, bring in a better system and watch what happens.

[Buffalo03]

We would. But the result would be the same. It's amazing that fans still think after one regime losing 4 straight Super Bowls, another having the music city miracle, a bunch more missing the playoffs for nearly 20 years and then getting another regime that makes it every year just to lose in the divisional round is some how gonna go win one with the next guy. Lol. We can fire McDermott but the results will stay the same

[TheyCallMeAndy]

I think if we had a HC who ran an elite offensive system, we would have a dynasty. 

[Buffaloflash]

Injuries aren't McDermott's excuses, they're McDermott's facts!

Anyone seriously thinking our secondary was going to stop Kelce, Rice and Pacheo is and was delusional.

The only chance I gave us, was if we scored on every procession, we might be able to squeeze out a win. Didn't happen, so on to next year.

Stop and think, we were 6 and 6, 3/4 way through the season. We had two playoff home games. This was the best the team could do, I ain't mad. Stop crying with a loaf of bread up under your arm.

Yup, look at Kyle Shanahan getting to a SB with Jimmy G and now one of Purdy or Goff will be in the SB. Even Sirianni made the SB and it was close. Our clown of a HC can't get past the divisional round with an elite QB.

Mcdermott is a solid HC and maybe he could win it one day. 

He's clearly not at this level. I feel like when he will be ready, Allen will be old.

 

When it counts the most, year after year, it's like the Bills has no HC.

 

At the 2 minuts warning, we were exactly where we need to be: we have th ball in Chiefs zone.

You need to have a solid HC to be there.  

 

Then, they discussed at the 2 minuts warning break and suddenly, nothing was clear. They try to eat the clock or score fast? I dont know. It wast clear at all.

 

In this 13 seconds game, it was the samething. You need to be a solid HC to take the lead at KC in playoff with 13 seconds left.

Then, the defense was totally lost on the field when it counts the most.

 

When it count the most and  it's clear for a HC, it will be damn clear for the players.

When it's not, the players are lost.

 

Injury or not, no matter what, it happen year after year, when it count the most, we blow it.

 

At this point, it cannot just be badluck. Clearly not.

 

5-6 in playoffs say something.

 

 

McDermott needs the 2023 ravens defense to get to the championship game....if not for dabol in 2023 we do not make that afccg

Defense doesn’t win championships anymore, just helps survive when a QB has an off game.
