Our very Achilles’ heel

[Italian Bills]

Going forward, what will be the Bills weakest point ? 
 

To me, our D-line is lately pitiful, but McD is most of the time concerning, soon or later you know that he’ll do something stupid, when the game is on the line, he never fail with some of his boneheaded decisions. 
 

ps don’t forget our “wonderful” prevent defense, always giving cushions to WRs, always exposed in the soft spot and with zero pressure and sack at the QBs. We need to play with no fear on D, not like dolls.

What is this the chicken or the egg?  McD came first to the scene. He was instrumental in selecting (with Beane) our defensive players. For the most part they've under achieved against better opponents. This may be a cop out but it's a combination of both.  And most fans (IMHO) are justifiably nervous going into the playoffs.

The answer has never been more clear… McDline

I hear the McDL is back for the holiday season - a combo meal featuring a JAG line rotation, lack of defensive creativity to be able to get a big stop against balanced offenses when they absolutely need to get off the field, and a side of head scratchingly bad game management decisions in the biggest moments belying the sphincter puckering that occurs in crunch time.

Does the McRib come with that?

There was a rumor that McDonalds was going to donate the McRibs that they had set aside for the fans in section 105 at Key Bank Arena that were to be given away if the Sabres scored a 3rd period power play goal at select home games this season, but the stock turned over so slowly that they all went bad.

Pretty clear you really have only one point.

Maybe you got me… but hey, if the defense doesn’t put the game on the line very often, despite all the great Allen performances, McD wouldn’t  have the chance to mess everything.

I just want to remind everyone that Philadelphia Eagles fans ran Andy Reid out of town for similar reasons.  Guess what?  He figured out his shortcomings and won 3 super bowls…. In Kansas City.
