Ohh I know that, but I'm not blaming him this time... our defense was ravaged and finally couldn't overcome a two time Super Bowl champion.

 

But our D (and ST) has let us down year after year, along with offensive mistakes. Scott Kacsmar makes a good point about our D, which Tyler Dunne re-tweeted:

Talking mainly Chiefs offense (Reid) vs. Bills defense (McDermott). The difference may have simply been player execution. But Chiefs offense moved the ball at will. To put Klein on Kelce was mind-boggling. Reid also took advantage of Bills' base nickel D by putting in three tight ends on running all over them. 

 

Yards per Play:

 

Chiefs - 7.7

Bills - 4.7

 

That's a significant difference. Bills were very fortunate they were a FG attempt away from tying under 2 minutes to go.

 

I don't think the defense played well. That was not my argument. I think it was mainly Kansas City taking advantage of where we were down to backups.

McDermott saved his job with late season run and team not quitting on him. However, he needs to be put right back on the hot seat this upcoming season. Losing again in the playoffs is another mark against him. However, going into the KC game felt the offense needed to put up at least 30 to have a shot against the Chiefs. We played a good first half but only managing to put up 7 in the second half was bigger issue with depleted defense.
 

McDermott should bring in some OC candidates and do his due diligence. I am not handing Brady the job immediately. The running game was much improved but both personnel and scheme left much to be desired on the passing side. It was like pulling teeth when it came to passing the ball and nothing came easy. How much of it was personnel or scheme who knows but it looked to be a combination of both to me.

 

So hopefully primary focus is adding more weapons on the offensive side. Draft becomes more important now due to being up against the salary cap. McDermott needs to work on integrating younger players who are potential fringe starters into roles sooner. Going to need to learn and live with some of the mistakes because team will be better off in the long term.

So much Tyler Dunne hate here when the conclusion to this season was exactly what his work indicated late in the season: McD doesn't get it done. He gets tight, makes head-scratching calls, and chokes.

 

Anything different to close out the year? Maybe let's recognize good journalism that was well-sourced and not at all one-sided rather than complain about it with no critical framework.

Year after year? I don't think they did last season either against Cincy... Josh and Dorsey STUNK in that game. This year they did but when you put it into context with regards to injuries, I stand by my statement.

Tyler Dunne is spot on. Great article I don’t understand how at the very least we couldn’t have told Sean McDermott hey we’re going to explore other options at head coach in the next few weeks. We are not firing you unless we find someone we think will maximize Josh Allens talents and get us to a Super Bowl more than you can.

 

It’s an off-season that has Hall of Fame coaches just sitting there for the taking. Why not at least check it out.  What’s the worst that happens if we do that? McD gets pissy and resigns. Well thank God for that. 

 

This is 2024 sports journalism at it's finest! Tell your head coach we're looking for someone better? I can get behind some of what he said but you can tell he is going out of his way to get views/clicks or just flat out doesn't like McDermott. Another tasteless piece by a mediocre journalist in my opinion.

Yes, I am quite sure the self made billionaire will take his advice in a Bills Coach from a failed journalist.  Makes perfect sense.

Dunne didn't give anyone advice.

 

The guy is a pretty successful journalist and he is widely respected for his thorough approach.

Yes.  What’s more, I think McD knew that was going to be a problem given the coaching and QB he was facing.  Hence the strategy to limit Chiefs possessions.  This was correct in my opinion.  Did you really want to see KC have the ball 3 or 4 more times?  Blowout City.  I do not believe the Bills offense as constructed and down Davis as well ever had a chance to keep up with a scoring track meet with KC. Two weeks ago it might have been different with much more confidence in D.

I don’t understand this argument that our base nickel D was getting run on, but we want less linebackers in coverage. 
 

I guess you wanted to start out with more dime looks? Or you wanted Matakevich out there in coverage? Neither of those sound like solutions to me.

 

To me, the one of the biggest injuries prior to this game was Rapp. I think this game needed our big nickel 3 safety look that we had been going with occasionally. But we couldn’t, because everyone was hurt.

Go look at the drives cincy had....McDermott defense played worse than allen......our oline was completely dominated by bengals it wasn't even a battle for bengals dline....they destroyed our line all game...but burrow just couldn't be forced off the field either....I think Cincinnati didn't punt until late 3rd quarter maybe 4th

We scored a grand total of TEN points for a game at HOME... that's not the defense's fault. It's the reason why Dorsey is out of a job because it bled into the 2023 season.
