Andrew Son Posted February 26 Posted February 26 1 hour ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: Allen has had weapons. Let’s not act like he hasn’t. The offense has been one of the best. People act like they are one of the worst. They have a hole at WR. They will fill it with a talented WR. You would think the steam would be out of this argument considering the state of the world champs receiving corps 1 Quote

BillsFan2313 Posted February 26 Posted February 26 I am just praying Babich can put together a game plan that offers a little resistance against offenses in the playoffs, then what McD is saying will happen 1 Quote

You only fail if you quit, and I’ve never done that. I’ve never been about that. Whatever it is, you always figure it out. You always find a way to get there. The only thing left to do for us at this point is win an AFC championship and win a Super Bowl, which is pretty darn good. There’s not too many organizations that can say that over the last seven years. We’ve done everything else you can do, and that is what gets us out of bed in the morning.” About the tough losses the Bills have had: “Anybody that says they’re not affected by a loss in this line of work isn’t being honest,” McDermott said. “There’s a degree of, ‘Hey, did I do the right thing? Did I do enough to help my team?’ But then you need to be able to come back to ‘No, I know I gave it my all. I put in everything I could have put into it.’ “We’ve played those games once, but I’ve played them a million times in my mind. Every last one of them from the first game against the Jets in 2017 to that game right there a million times. That’s where your confidence gets affected the most because then you start to lose who you are and trusting your gut and your experience and your preparation.” About the fake punt to Hamlin against KC: “Had I not faked that punt, with what I knew going into that situation, it would have been a failure had I not tried,” McDermott said. “I would have gone home that night saying, ‘What would have happened had I faked that punt?’ It didn’t work out that specific situation in that in that particular moment, but I need to do everything I can to help our team win.” Why can't he simply say, "I wasn't good enough that day"? 🤷 Quote

Let’s stop acting like there’s some hero out there that will definitely beat Mahomes and Burrow. Ive said this before, maybe he’ll get lucky like Cowher/Tomlin Steelers. They avoided Tom Brady in both Super Bowl runs. There is no luck to it. Build a team that Cincinnati and KC has to beat. Quote
Don Otreply Posted February 26 Posted February 26 (edited) In my opinion, Sean can’t wrap his head around the idea that he needs to change up his defensive scheme in clutch post season moments, as he keeps doing the same things repeatedly, and our post season opponents have his defense figured out under those circumstances, Sean is a really good HC, what he isn’t is an innovator of new ideas, and it’s holding him and the team back. I absolutely love that McDermott, Beane and especially Pegula, resurrected the Bills into being a really good football team, so, that’s my view of Sean, always hoping for the best.

MikePJ76 Posted February 26 Posted February 26 Uggh. Its his side of the ball that keeps sending the team home. His decisions. Its where he spends the resources. Not really interested in hearing him speak on anything honestly. 1 1 Quote
QCity Posted February 26 Posted February 26 The whole article is a good read, a rare time he's not just throwing out coach-speak. Don't have any issues with what he said. 1 1 Quote

Felt like something other than coach talk. Until I hear him say out loud "13 seconds was my fault, I got tight and made a mistake" I will never believe anything that comes out of his mouth. 1 2 Quote

He says the only failure is quitting? News flash, you can try your hardest and fail year after year after year if you're not good enough or make enough mistakes. He seems to think you are guaranteed to win a SB if you just keep trying real hard. 👏 Edited February 26 by Turk71 1 1 Quote
