I don’t love the comparison, but the fact that the two seed was traditionally granted a bye week deserves some consideration here. The Bills have had the 2 seed 3 times ( this season a fourth) under McD. Playing an extra playoff game does matter and wasn’t a requirement in the past. 2 Quote

A guy just called and said the bills will play Baltimore unless seattle can beat them and then got all upset about where the ball is spotted if there is a 15 yard penalty at the 29.

Yobogoya! Posted Tuesday at 07:44 PM Posted Tuesday at 07:44 PM 14 minutes ago, Buffalo03 said: 5 times. But the fact is, McDermott has consistently gotten to the Divisional round. So, while Reid made it one game farther at times, their paths were pretty much Identical Difference being I don’t think Reid was ever accused of “squandering” the prime years of Donovan McNabb. Finding Josh Allen is a double edged sword for McDermott. Any success he has is always going to be tempered by the fact that his QB is an alien MVP, and if you can’t win with a guy like that? People will be quick to assume you’re the one holding him back from a championship. Especially if you don’t have a decade of prior successful head coaching to point to. 1 Quote

The point isn’t the number of games you played but the quality of the competition. You need look no further than this years expanded college playoff. Just because lesser teams are now playoff teams, it doesn’t equate to when only the best teams qualified. Quote

The stupid calls from old people that want to reminisce about how great Tasker was and then proceed to say the dumbest sh*t ever. Quote

College football is not nearly as level a talent pool as the NFL, so I can’t say it’s apples to apples thing to look at the college playoff. I get the point about quality of competition, but that’s not always as simple as seeding. Would you prefer to face what would have been an 8 seed Cincinnati team and Joe Burrow, or a 5 seed Steelers team with Russell Wilson? Most NFL fans and observers would also agree that having an actual bye week ( not just resting some players in a week 18 game) in the playoffs is a huge deal. Because of this difference , there may not be a perfect comp for what McDermott has done so far. His playoff losses ( barring 2019) have been to what most consider the 2 other elite QBs in the AFC. His defenses have been deserving of criticism for sure. Quote

McDermott gets criticized for having Josh Allen and criticized for losing to QB’s equal or better than Josh Allen. Make it make sense. Just a Quick Look. Andy Reid lost to the likes of Kerry Collins, Brad Johnson 2x, and Jake Delhomme in the playoffs. Edited Tuesday at 08:10 PM by Buffalo_Stampede Quote

I cannot believe ANYONE legitimately believes that McDs playoff record compares to Reid taking the Eagles to the championship game multiple times. Lots of homerism on here today. Quote
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted Tuesday at 08:29 PM Posted Tuesday at 08:29 PM Listened to a Air Raid Hour with Sal. The Broncos guys says that they don't have much of a run game or over the middle TE. I like how that sounds Quote

Sean McDermott is one game under .500 in his postseason career. Andy Reid was one game over .500 in his postseason career in Philly. Their records are absolutely comparable. 1 Quote
