Not gonna make any sweeping judgments yet but if this is what we're in for this year is there any chance McDermott and Beane lose their jobs? Are they safe literally no matter what? That's my fear.

I think Beane is safe no matter what. McDermott will be on the hot seat if it goes poorly, if not, fired.

What's the point of having a defensive minded head coach when the defense sucks too?

This team is pathetic and heads need to roll. 

Hate to be that guy week 1 but it starts at the top. And this team every year under mcd falls right into the opposing teams game plan. And 4 blown coverages on 1 drive? Inexcusable

We are literally going to have to score 35/game just to stay in games this year

 

Defense is in full playoff form

Fire McD and Beane and try to salvage the last couple years of Allen.

 

But Pegula only cares about money, so not likely.

 

The last couple years? He’s 28!!

McD could be in real trouble this time.  Once again his team isn't properly prepared.

He’ll get one more Coordinator firing before he’s in any real trouble. The Pegulas love him and consider him the man who brought the team back to “respectability”. He’ll have a long leash like Mike Tomlin

[Big Turk]

Does McD take over play calling in the 2nd half?

[Let's Go Buffalo]

Well, it would be nice to score here on this drive, and do it again right after half-time, if we can double-dip.

[Hotdog water]

Can we finally all agree that Ronald McDermott is a clown coach? This is a disaster

Lets be honest here this is just week 1, relax even a blowout loss doesn't mean the seasons over stop being so hyperbolic. 

 

The weaknesses on week 1 will be there all year.

Unless Bills score on this drive then blow could be coming .  This looks like the Cincy playoff game

We haven't been blown out in the regular season since Taylor and the Colts went off on us a few years ago. This looks like it'll be the latest one.

 

Dolphins are going to feast on this defense next week 

[jcamm1966]

I think this year was a throw away , retool can McD get ready for for the new stadium

Hamlin looks completely washed

 

I don't think I can single out one defensive player, they all just look off for the most part.

Cardinal's offense is talented and pretty good 

 

That may be the case but guys are wide open all over the field. There is both no pass rush AND no contain.  This isn’t a talent thing. This is a bad coaching thing.

[The 9 Isles]

Wasted a generational talent with Allen. 
 

 

[Awwufelloff]

Yall were so excited for this. We all knew this was coming with 1/4 of our cap tied up in players not even on this team. 

[Iverwig]

I can only blame the coaches so much because there is not enough talent on the defense.  

[BananaB]

Josh Allen gotta be superman week 1 with a whole new WR core

All the investments in defense and this is what we get. What a waste.

 

Give it some time. It's only the first half of week one and some of those investments aren't even on the field right now, including our two best players.
