Yeah I think you’re painting with a wide brush, but I’m guessing you know that lol. Allen is the main reason they’re good, there’s no doubt about that, coaching has hindered his legacy with these post season defensive performances by McDermott. McDermott isn’t going anywhere so none of these opposing opinions amount to a mound of sh*t. 1 Quote

L Ron Burgundy Posted February 7 Posted February 7 5 hours ago, MikePJ76 said: I understand your point of view, I really do and I am all for an aggressive defense and actually prefer to the general style mcdermott brought here. However. If you watch this team every week you will, well maybe you won't but I will and did get the sense that they play a certain way to mitigate risk because they can not succeed doing those things regularly. They don't have the horses for that race. I mean when Von Miller and Groot just keep giving up the edge 1 second after the ball is snapped while playing man I would say that is a bigger issue than taking risks. Maybe those guys should not have been just leaving the edge completely open seemingly every other down throughout the game. Von Miller spinning into nothing and leaving a gap is about as bad a play as the defense can make. That's not scheme, that is on the player. If the Bills ran an aggressive blitz heavy defense and in the process start giving up as many big plays as they make people would be losing their mind because guys got left on an island to cover insert wr here. There are two sides to this pancake. and again, Improve the personnel and you improve the defense. The scheme will be secondary when we have legitimate pass rushers and other players who have to be schemed for. Not a single player on the Bills defense creates a situation where the other offense has to scheme to stop him. So KC for instance can run blitzes overloaded to one side, zero pressures with 7 or 8 guys coming right up the middle because they have great players on all 3 levels of defense that have to be accounted for. So when the line is looking to keep help with jones and trying to stay away from mcduffie the chiefs already have an advantage. The bills had Rapp and Benford out of the game and Von Miller running himself out of plays on every other snap. Its just simply not apples and oranges. I agree with a lot that you say. But it's the exact reason I would have gone full aggressive mode. Yes, kc would have gotten more big plays. But we may have lucked into an additional stop. Think DET VS MIN their 2nd game. Detroit blitzed like crazy hoping big plays would result in stops because they were decimated by injuries, much worse than us. I know Mahommes is 10x better than Darnold against the Blitz but look at our playoff defense! Overall they are the reason we get knocked out EVERY year. Our standard defense doesn't get it done. Ever. Do something different ffs! Quote
NewEra Posted February 7 Posted February 7 4 hours ago, Kelly to Allen said: Hurts is good but he's not a great QB like Allen. The difference between those teams and the bills is it's generally the lack of a few blue chip players around Allen that have failed in these games. Mainly on defense The only player that truly raised his level in a big moment was Gabe Davis. Diggs was really good vs Indy and Baltimore in 20... That's it. The difference between those teams and the Bills is that they are in the NFC and don’t have to go through KC to make the Super Bowl. People would be talking about them just like they are Buffalo currently - KC’s little b**** in the playoffs. Josh would probably have 2-3 Super Bowl appearances if we played in the NFC 1 Quote

There are no guarantees in life. If you can prove the next head coach will win it all, I'll pack up McDermott's office for him. Quote

Generic_Bills_Fan Posted February 7 Posted February 7 (edited) I’m confused by this stat, so you average just the bills playoff losses and it’s worse than everyone else’s average playoff stats which includes wins and losses? Why would you compare that way lol I thought this was gonna finally be the year where we didn’t have arguably our best defensive player out/zero excuses and benford got knocked out of the game fast Edited February 7 by Generic_Bills_Fan Quote

CircleTheWagons99 Posted February 7 Posted February 7 21 hours ago, julian said: I think it’s less about the record against Reid and more about McDermott being the reason for the 13 second collapse. every coach losses to Reid for the most part, but after Allen bailed out the defense for the 2nd time in the final 2 minutes, McDermott soiled his pants with 13 seconds and the world watched. and McD plays scared against great teams..... 1 Quote

ImpactCorey Posted February 7 Posted February 7 (edited) On 2/1/2025 at 3:03 PM, DabillsDaBillsDaBills said: I think it's misleading since we're looking at only the last 5 losses for the Bills and comparing it against ALL playoff games for other teams. The current Steelers team under Tomlin has lost their last 6 playoff games while allowing 38.3 PPG. Still, I think McD's defense has been unforgivably bad in the playoffs and frankly should've been fired after the 13 second game. So much this. I think there are reasonable concerns about the defense but this apples to oranges stat tells you nothing. It is basically saying: "In the Bills playoff losses, the other team scored more points." The defense certainly isn't the worst in history (albeit not very good either). Heck the 4 playoff losses between 1991-1994 (super bowls) was an average of 34.75 points. I guess those defenses were awful right? Edited February 7 by ImpactCorey Quote
