McDermott Post Game Presser

[mike22nc]

I just saw a report that McDermott was rushed to the hospital due to shortness of breath and an increased heart-rate after the game.

 

They did some tests, and found that his skull was completely numb. There is no known cure.

The situational awareness is baffling at times, especially at the end of games.

 

I just don’t understand the logic. Any kind of stop there (as good as Josh is) will burn clock and you’re forced to use one of your 3 timeouts. It’s like conceding the game is over unless you recover the onside kick. And that’s exactly how it played out.

 

It’s absurd.

Insane that this is a conversation. 
 

Honestly, I can’t believe we have to discuss this. 

It’s like Eberflus defending his end of game play calling. It’s like they never want to admit a mistake.

The reactions to this game are so over the top.

His opinion of the Bills offensive line not controlling the line of scrimmage is a little crazy, IMO. They allowed zero sacks and the Bills averaged nearly 9 yards per play. They ran the ball for over 4 yards per carry and scored 42 points.  I mean, what does he want? “We could’ve run the ball better with our running backs…” come on.

He's probably pissed that James Cook had only 6 carries and they didn't do more to limit Stafford's possessions.

Oh the flip side I was pissed at the announcers staying out OLine played "sensational" today. 

 

Rams won the trenches on both sides of the ball.

He always has to find a way to criticize the offense because he can never just flat out admit when his defense is the main reason for a loss.

It is a big deal though. 1 seed is all but gone with a loss likely in Detroit...needed to get this one today to have a shot.

I can't complain about the offense when they score 42 points. However, I am watching NBC and the d linemen hustle and try hard all of the time. The Bills' d linemen look like they have played 10 quarters without substitutions. It's disgusting to watch.

Talent and coaching has something to do with it

agreed. I was fully expecting this to be a

Cook and Ray Davis game. I thought we might see Davis with like 15 carries. He got none. 
 

better TOP would have helped the defense.

It didn't tonight.

Groot was an absolute dog out there.

I bet a totally different team shows up next week. Losing the seed is tough though.  Agreed.

If you are going to play bend not break defense need to get off the field sometimes and hold other team to FGs.

 

Couldn’t get off the field when it mattered most and couldn’t force any turnovers resulting in terrible game for the defense. I am not a fan of the smaller finesse defense.

I loathe this man

That was missing from Bills defenders for 60 minutes today.

I’m guessing you’d rather see Dick. Jauron. 
Or Chan

Or Rex

 

There really are some maroons on this board.

Let’s assume we do as bad as it gets and that’s what happens. So you’re saying we couldn’t win a wild card game with those guys and Josh Allen?

He said "give me the best play at 1 yard line," and they believed Allen sneaking is the best play. They need to develop a best passing play at 1 yard line. 

 

No. They need to do that play 2 times in a row quickly.

 

Wasting that timeout might be the worst coaching blunder since Denver last year.

 

3 timeouts with the Rams on the 30 with 50+ seconds remaining and a FG to win it and you ABSOLUTELY still have a chance.

I remember a certain passing play for Seattle in the Super Bowl a number of years back. Maybe not quite at the 1, but we know how it turned out. Allen is pretty much money on these sneak type plays. Just didn’t get in that time. I didn’t hate the strategy. 

Crazy to think that a 42 point day on the road by any Bills team would be called a let down. 

If you told me we were going to score 42 pts and Josh has 6 tds I'd probably say we win 99% of the time. Today I witnessed how incredibly vulnerable our defense is.
