Bruh, Terry isnt listening to fans on his HC hire. There is no leverage. And frankly, rightfully so. As much as I question certain things (and often McD), I'd feel even worse about the future of the team if Pegula was like "People werent buying PSLs so I fired McD!"

 

He won't be fired because people weren't buying PSL's, he would be fired because the PSL owners opinion would be correct. You can't waste the talent of a generational QB like Josh Allen because your coach is not capable of beating good teams with good coaches.

 

I actually have faith in McDermott and think he will win a Super Bowl for the Bills. I worry a little about the Lions, but I think the Bills are going to the Super Bowl this year.

McDermott is gone if they lose to all the good teams like the Ravens, Texans, Chiefs, Niners, and Lions and only beat up on bad teams. The PSL owners will push him out if they don't have any faith in him getting the team to the Super Bowl. This is the year they have all the leverage over the owner.

 

No chance.

Everyone notice the nice day MVS had?

He’s not going anywhere even if we lose in the Wild Card round

 

I think I am finally okay with that. McDermott has this job as long as he wants. I love what he has been able to do with the safeties. Rapp is legitimately good. Hamlin is actually serviceable which is crazy to be saying given his limitations. 

 

The hit piece that was written last year and then being dropped when the author for sure probably thought the Bills would not only lose the division but likely miss the playoffs all together, only to have the Bills rally as a team and win the division, that also stands out as a case to keep McDermott. 

 

And we have to remember the grass in not always greener on the other side. Bills have built a real culture here.

We would’ve been 8-2 if it weren’t for a lucky Throw by Kyler Murray in 2020

We seemed like such a better team then 

[Shortchaz]

I would feel better about this team’s superbowl aspirations if they could consistently get to the quarterback with 4 d-linemen. For this 4-2 scheme to be effective in the playoffs, the d-line has to be miles better. 

 

The off-season needs to be focused on getting elite d-line talent to go with our existing role players.

I think he will beat some of those teams and is going to take this team to the Super Bowl but I also think he is gone if they have an early exit in the playoffs, especially if they lose every single game this year to the elite teams.  The fans won't tolerate another early exit.

The next four games are gonna be extremely tough. Hopefully we can get healthy and stay healthy. I think we go 2-2 over those four games.

KC fans are talking the same way as Bills fans. The only difference is they get to end their posts with "... but I'm sure Reid and Mahomes will figure it out".

That’s the ‘equity’ he was talking about. They’ve proven they can get it done despite looking bad during the regular season. Bills don’t have that in the back so some fans are justifiably skeptical.

Doesn't matter. Pegula is committed to him. It will take actual failure not perceived failure for him to be fired.

I agree. I think we can go 3-1 if we beat the Chiefs. I am worried about losing to the Chiefs and then dropping 3 out of 4.  The Chiefs, Niners, and Lions are going to make the Bills run defense work.  Is the McDermott defensive scheme capable of beating physical teams? I don't know.

Would you look at KC the same kind of way? Unbeaten but talk about getting timely bounces/blocks to win truly ugly week after week…also, Bills leading the league in points scored over this winning streak if I heard the radio call correctly?

Not sure about that stat.  Detroit has won 6 straight with an average of 36 ppg, we haven't hit 36 in any of these wins.

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Bills opponents that they beat are 22-41 with I believe only the Cardinals with a winning record.

Next four games will tell us if the Bills are contenders or pretenders. 

 

Nice road win today!

Took advantage of the turnovers. 

Hope Dalton is ok.

Bills fans will fill the new stadium regardless. You’re talking as if Bills fans won’t show up to watch a Josh Allen led playoff team. Terry isn’t even thinking about McD. The job is his regardless of playoff performance. I really wish that wasn’t the case but it is. And like Gunner, I just don’t see this team going very far. You need 3 wins in a row against the caliber of KC - Baltimore - Detroit. Hell, does anybody even want to see a team like Pittsburgh right now?

Definitely worried the Lions are going to "Raven" the Bills. These physical teams are just a terrible matchup for the small Bills defense. The Ravens secondary makes them beatable though, but the Lions appear to have no flaws right now.

Yeah the Lions are a terrible matchup for us. 

[VW82]

Pretty cool but if we're being honest it's been a bit smoke and mirrors. AFCE wasn't supposed to be this bad, and we're way out in the lead for league turnover differential. 

 

There's lots of promise with this team though, just need to clean up some things and have our youth take another step. Hard to believe we'd be in this spot back in March.

KC and Baltimore are very beatable.  KC has looked awful at times and the Ravens can't stop the pass. I won't be shocked if they don't win their division and get bounced in the opening round.  Can the Bills beat Detroit in a Super Bowl? They will need some turnovers and some luck. Not likely, but not impossible.

Yup, we should walk right into the Super Bowl. Not like Henry has ever been an issue for us or Mahomes in the playoffs.
