Btw Allen was pressured on 46% of his drop backs....

 

It's astonishing he again almost pulled it off. 

 

Saying we got out coached is putting it mildy

Without Josh, McDermott would've been fired years ago.

That's probably true and I hate admitting that. McDermott is a good man and solid coach but we're never winning a championship with him. We just aren't

Why? Is it the fact his defense giving up 32 ppg on average in elimination games while his offense scores 24? 
 

McDermott defensive genius> Spags defensive genius. 
 

imagine if Beane drafted McDuffie and the NFL wasn’t rigged with blind officials.

So I worked out after the game. Watched some post game and these are my general thoughts....

 

In the past 5 elimination games ( 4 vs KC) the bills defense has forced 8 punts. For reference the ravens forced 7 punts in just the AFC championship game last year....

 

Buffalo went 6 qtrs without forcing a punt from the ravens game to halftime of the AFC championship....

 

KC scored the most points of the year in this game and had their highest EPA in over a year.....

 

Sean McDermott's defense from 2020- to present has regressed dramatically on 3rd down.

 

From 2 to like 5, to 13th to 19th to 29th..... It's regressing exponentially.

 

I thought from my years of watching football that buffalo had the slightly better team and still lost. Their defense was way more banged up in last year's game and they were worse this year....

 

This is where I'm at. I obviously think they're a really really good team, they have a great Hof QB. But I'm about 99% sure that they're never going to win a super bowl with McDermott. Too much data is in, and this doesn't mean he's not a good coach. He's just not good enough to win a super bowl.

 

Ppl will look at the regular season success against KC but in reality with such a stark contrast it actually reveals that the KC coaches are doing e much better job at making adjustments when it really matters and that is undeniable now after 4 losses to them in the playoffs....

 

Obviously I love the team and all the memories we've had as fans watching the bills but I just think it's fair and realistic to put it into perspective. They're not winning a championship with this coach.

 

I think we need to have a conversation about Beane. Not that he's bad but his top picks are middle class and not blue chip. It's a problem....

 

Lastly I feel like Allen is becoming a tragic hero and it's something I think a lot of bills fans are going to be more upset about as time goes by because ultimately his career is being wasted.

 

I don't think this staff is maximizing his potential and I don't know if he's going to reach his apex with this coach. ( This is in the context of winning championships, not being a really good offense that wins a ***** division)

 

Ultimately I told my Dad a few days ago buffalo has never won this game and this city in a sports sense has never met the moment. They literally invent tragedy and are basically the sports version of the movie state of Grace. It just doesn't feel like it will ever be in the cards....

 

I don't think Terry pegula is going to do anything and we're going to go down as a longer version of the Warren Moon oilers....

It's the same thing every year. They didn't force a single punt in 6 qtrs in this playoff against the ravens and to halftime of the AFC championship

Coaching aside the roster is void of game breakers talent. We have a GM who misses in the draft and overspent on veterans like Miller and Samuel. McDermott needs a HOF caliber Edge, DT and CB. We could have had McDuffie but got beat by KC. Need talent to bear the best. Allen is great but we need more like him.

Yup. I said earlier there's not even a Cornelius Bennett on this team. Where is the Eric Moulds or even a Henry Jones??? 

 

Its a good roster with Zero blue chip players outside Allen. 

 

Pretty sad

I don't think there is one Bills fan that trusts Mcdermott to out coach someone in a big game.  We almost never see the Bills come into a game with surprise schemes or something the other team does not expect. He is a good coach but the Bills will never make a super bowl with him in charge and. that is something Allen and his team need to begin talking about.  Allen is 29 next season,  how many more prime years does he have left in his body.

Stop it!  McDermott coached to win, his team just didn't execute.  Bills got stuffed on the Allen "tush push" plays and failed on both their 2-pt conversions.  Ballgame.  

i disagree, 

go back and take a serious look at that Denver game. that was a game where the bills were coached to win. never took their foot off of the gas until the very tail end of the 4th. baltimore and kc, they were coached not to lose or more specifically, they were coached to try to protect the defense while trying to play ball control time consuming ball.

It’s silly to say we’d do better by firing McD. 
 

he’s made playoffs 6 of 7 years, while prior 5 coaches were 0 for 19. 
 

But he’s not a great gameday coach (although I think he’s improved there).

 

The score of the game would have been 31-31 if McD wasn’t outthinking himself. 

You never, ever chase points in the first 3 Q. 

 

this mentality is wrong and needs to stop,

the bills were bad by design. mr wilson lost money those superbowl years and figured out a way to make the bills a very very profitable business venture which is why during the last major CBA the nflpa wanted to see the books of 2 teams, the packers and the bills. what happens to that money that is ear marked for contract incentives and the conditions arent met, the owner pockets it. also keep this in mind the salary cap goes 2 ways, there is a max you arent supposed to go over and there is a minimum you have to spend. alot of folks are not aware of that part.

think about it this way, how long did it take the bills to end their playoff drought after the bills got a new owner?

I’ll repeat this.

 

I feel so bad for us Bills fans. The fact so

many fans want to fire the guy is sad. 
 

There isn’t another coach in the world that does better vs the Chiefs, but we believe someone will be better. 

 

Josh Allen has only gone lights out 1 time vs KC. It’s not like we’re blowing historic performance after historic performance. And that 1 historic performance vs KC wasn’t even better than Mahomes that day.

 

The right plan is to keep chopping at that wood. We are so close.

It’s not going to be easier next year…Baltimore is not going anywhere, KC will fix its problem at OT, and the Bengals will have to be dealt with in the playoffs. Within the division, the Pats will be a pain the ass…

 The fact the other team scored a TD on their first drive of every playoff game is a hiuge red flag to me.  

This.

 

Really hiuge.

Loss two yrs in a row by 3 to KC? that is coaching. (That doesn’t include :13)

:13 was ALL ABOUT coaching.  The players had the game won.

I think it was a massive failure of our offensive coaching staff to not have a tush push wrinkle.  

The tush push wrinkle is to throw to a fat man.  Do that once in a key situation and it changes the way the entire league defends us.  I hear #70 reported eligible.

To me that’s a failure in self scouting to not have a counter punch to a play you’ve run all season.  It’s also a failure to assume that Spagnuola would have no answer for something you’ve put on tape for 50+ weeks

Tush push calls are on Josh Allen, not coaching. Sometimes you just have to tip your hat to the opponent.

Basically every coach gets fired without a top QB. Not every coach has the same success as McDermott with a top QB.

 

Give me Andy Reid or Sean McVay. That’s about the end of the list of coaches I would replace McDermott with and feel confident we’re better.

The question everyone needs to ask is can McDermott ever beat Reid and will the Bills waste Allen's prime years
