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. You're basically giving credit to the team for blowing early games to bad teams. And lets dive into McDermott facts, shall we? What happened in the other 2 playoff games vs KC when we were relatively healthy and gave up 38 points and 42 points. That's including that time when he completely botched the end of the game with 13 seconds. How about when we were getting gashed last year as well? Or almost lost to Skylar Thompson? Or when old man Phillip Rivers came into Buffalo with the Colts and they were able to do pretty much whatever they wanted and we needed an elite performance from Josh just to squeak by? McD's defense ALWAYS gets lit up in these big games. This wasn't some kind of anomaly because of injuries. 1 Quote
Lionel Hutz Posted January 22 Posted January 22 If it wasn’t for Josh Allen the Bills would be circling the drain like the Buffalo Sabres under the Pegula’s ownership. 2 Quote
JoshAllin Posted January 22 Posted January 22 I mean if Bernard and Benford/Rapp played I don't see how KC scores over 17 that game 1 Quote
stlbills13 Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Other than Poyer's forced fumble, the defense essentially made ZERO plays last night. If it weren't for the offense's time of possession, we could have given up 50 last night. 1 1 Quote

For the most part that's true. But they can also mitigate damage. Or at the very least put a team away with 13 seconds left. McD can't even do that. Quote
Bimmer323i Posted January 22 Posted January 22 I was listing to Greeny and Rex Ryan today talking about the Bills going after Belichick…. idk the more I think about it the more intriguing it sounds…. 1 Quote
Doc Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Fine. Give us the name of a surefire replacement. I’ll hang up and listen. Quote

Why do people think hitting the easy button and firing the head coach will magically help us beat a dynasty team like KC? It’s about the players. They come up short in the big moments vs KC. Not Allen, he steps up. It’s the other guys. They have to find someone other than Allen that steps up in the playoffs consistently. It's about scheme above all else.....this coach doesn't get the most from his players bc his schemes and football philosophy is old and long extinct 1 minute ago, Doc said: Fine.

To be honest, if they didn’t fake the punt that play never happens and they probably walk right down the field from their own 30. The Bills really lucked in there. A yard one way it’s a TD a yard the other it’s a fumble out of bounds instead of through the endzone Edited January 22 by BananaB Quote

Thrivefourfive Posted January 22 Posted January 22 (edited) McDermott has always had a scapegoat. At some point here, he has to go. It’s always going to be some excuse with him. The Chiefs were surgical last night. The Bills played and coached at a high level but it wasn’t enough. With the injuries, they need to out coach the Chiefs and that just didn't happen. • Kelce got loose • Mahomes scarmbled at will • Mahomes barely hit the ground • The Chiefs running was a problem • The offense has too many nothing plays It’s not the worst coaching performance by McDermott’s staff by a wide margin, hut at this level, he's stuck here. No progressing. 22 minutes ago, Bimmer323i said: I was listing to Greeny and Rex Ryan today talking about the Bills going after Belichick…. idk the more I think about it the more intriguing it sounds….

JoshAllin Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Can't make injuries as an excuse if you sit out the most important piece of the defense who's responsible for play calling and adjustments. He had a chance to play and was only questionable. I'd think it was coaches decision to sit him Quote
Buffalo_Stampede Posted January 22 Posted January 22 (edited) This is why we lose. I’ve been saying it for 5 years. Our DL doesn’t come to play. Meanwhile Chris Jones on the other side had a quieter game than normal but still made plays. Edited January 22 by Buffalo_Stampede Quote
Dr.Mantis_Toboggan Posted January 22 Posted January 22 He needs to go. Get me Belichick. I don’t care anymore. Bill loves Josh, and I’m tired of Defense not showing up to support Josh in the playoffs. That won’t be a problem with the hoodie. Quote

The hoodie would have won the Super Bowl this season in New England with the only change being Josh Allen at quarterback. Not even kidding. This roster has enough talent to do the big things. They just don’t have that extra championship gene that a championship coach could give them. 1 Quote
