Yobogoya! Posted January 27 Posted January 27 The toughest pill to swallow about keeping McDermott around is that aside from ST coordinator who absolutely has has HAS to be flipped, we’re likely bringing back both Brady and Babich as the process certainly dictates they get another year to grow and develop. And I’m not trying to call for either of their heads — it’s an unfortunate circumstance that we’ve got two inexperienced coordinators who have had the unenviable task of trying to out-scheme and out-call two all time greats in Reid and Spags. But fact is we can’t waste away more of Josh’s prime waiting for our coaching staff to develop. My concern is there’s just not enough fresh or diverse ideas at OBD, and McDermott alone clearly doesn’t have answers to stop the Chiefs and Mahomes. Is there anyone we could entice to take on an assistant HC/ defensive quality control or something that could make an impact? Or assistant HC/ passing game coordinator? Gus Bradley seems to be on a downturn, but he helmed those famous Seahawks defenses and schematically seems like he might be compatible on that side of the field. Would McDermott ever swallow his pride enough to allow fresh ideas onto his unit? Is there anyone we could blend into the offensive side to give Brady some help? Cuz I can’t watch the Neanderthal strategy of trying to use the tush push half a dozen times into a wall of defenders with no adjustments. I can’t. The McDermott process echo chamber needs to mix it up. 1 1 Quote

Beast Posted January 27 Posted January 27 We need new ideas on offense? OK. I guess scoring over 30 points on a regular basis and having the top 2 scoring totals against the Chiefs simply screams we aren’t doing things right. 1 Quote

Correction…McDermott will be here until Josh Allen doesn’t want him to be here anymore. Edited January 27 by mannc 3 Quote
BillMafia716ix Posted January 27 Posted January 27 (edited) The team is void of top tier talent on both sides of the ball. We lack playmakers. We haven’t hit on any of our top draft picks. I have more of an issue with Beane right now at this point than McDermott. Edited January 27 by BillMafia716ix 1 1 Quote

The McDermott process echo chamber needs to mix it up. Our coordinators are both young 30's. Brady's offense was anything but predictable this year. We scored the most points twice of anyone on the Chiefs this year........ Edited January 27 by warrior9 Quote

Moral victories don’t go down in the record books. Situationally, there was opportunities that we had and missed on. Gotta mix it up somehow, this is a game of inches and we always come up just inches short. 1 1 Quote

The failed two point conversions were pitiful. The Neanderthal repeated QB sneaks were absurd. It’s not as if our coordinators deserve no credit for the season, but they were outmatched this game.

MrEpsYtown Posted January 27 Posted January 27 McDermott is the problem. He will never bring in an outsider with fresh ideas. We've been down this imaginary road when we all wanted Rex Ryan to keep Jim Schwartz. Zero chance it will ever happen. Quote
Governor Posted January 27 Posted January 27 (edited) McD finally proved to me this season that he can adapt. Our biggest concern heading into the playoffs was run defense and he totally made that disappear with a roster we know isn’t good. We need to change the scheme and I think he WILL do that moving forward. Beane is the elephant in the room right now and it might be time for a change. The dust has finally settled and we can see the problem now. Talent is the problem. Multiple 1st round busts. McD is growing. Beane is not. Edited January 27 by Governor Quote

The Chiefs put up 30 points zero times.. we have a defensive minded head coach... Edited January 27 by warrior9 Quote

It says if we had someone on the sideline who could create a couple successful two pt plays in that game we win. What are you trying to say? You implicitly trust this staff to have the right answers next time? Or will we give the Chiefs their toughest out again while they four-peat? Quote
K D Posted January 27 Posted January 27 (edited) As bad as they played, the Bills had the ball 1st down at mid field with 2 min left. 20 yards and we get a FG for OT. 50 yards and we go to the Superbowl. We ended up getting 5 yards on 4 plays. The following happened: - incomplete - incomplete - screen for 5 yards (dumb) - what should have been your best play, this thing works every time type of stuff, but no we have some kind of out of sorts just drop back and see what happens kind of thing which ends with a no-look prayer that is incomplete They were out of sorts when it mattered most. That's preparation, that's bad play calling, that's the offense not being able to handle the moment. Disappointing Edited January 27 by K D 1 1 Quote

You're stuck on the 2 point plays? So every play needs to be perfect and aren't allowed to have a bad play against a team that no one scored on this year? So forget the speed option on 4th and 1 that took more balls than any play call of the year? So forget that fact that we were in position to win an AFCCG and had a key drop to lose the game? So you think just fire Brady, Babich, and McDermott? Quote
BillsFan4 Posted January 27 Posted January 27 One thing they really need to figure out is the defense has to stop spotting teams 7 points to start every game. It seems like for years now the Bills defense has struggled with the opening drives of games. They dial in after that but way too often it puts them in a hole to start games. 1 1 Quote
