Unfortunately under McDermott, when the Bills play bad, they play absolutely horrible. Every year, they have a game they play like a two win team! Right now they are getting punched in the face and doing nothing about it.

Just now able to start watching. Was the Allen INT a bad one, or was there another reason for the pick? 

Arm punt that was short of Coleman

Smiley has to go! Don't you realize NE has nothing to lose you moron! Did he really think NE would give Buffalo the last possession of the half knowing they get the ball first. That should never happen.

Outcoached 

 

No, its not just outcoached. They are getting outplayed as well. I hate how everyone when things go bad immediately pin it on coaching. Coaches didn't make Epenesa jump Offside at the end of the quarter. Coaches didn't make Allen chuck up an INT in the endzone that luckily maybe worked out for them.

I remember when McDermott defenses were a massive issue for rookie QBs.  Especially in Buffalo.  What is going on philosophically with this team defensively right now.

Mac took time to suck. 

We shall see-  I think he’s gonna be a top 10 QB if NE doesn’t screw it up. 

[Blackbeard]

Honestly you ding dongs, relax. 
 

We’re more in control here than you think.   It’s the same game KC has been running the whole year.  
 

Only open so much of the playbook up as possible.   We’re in control.

Three first half possessions…

Coaching is a massive concern heading into the playoffs. We might be at a disadvantage in every single playoff matchup

Ya think? Where ya been the last half a decade? But no….some people prefer to keep their heads in the sand. 

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

How is our offense so amazingly productive and efficiency and elite and every other aspect of this team so useless? The only room the coach has zero impact in…is the reason we win. 

[Freddie's Dead]

This all about passion and attitude.  The Cheats brought it, the Bills are mailing it in.

The Bills are being outcoached by a Jerrod Mayo led staff. And the Pats Oline is having their way with our defense. 
 

Let all that sink in. 

We really need to go outside the org for a Def coordinator.  Someone with a different philosophy.  Like Jim Schwartz or Vrabel 

[K D]

LOL this is hilarious. The defense is a joke. So then why have McD as the coach?

It was an arm punt on a 3rd and 16, no real reason to not give your guy a shot in the end zone

These continued special teams screwups are on McD. He has refused to  get rid of Smiley.

Absolutely. It’s embarrassing to see our fans pin blame on coordinators. It’s almost been a decade now.

[Chaos]

If we had any confidence in teh defense, we would be calling a time out
