Everyone who wants to fire McDermott believes that. 😂

 

There's also a belief that Allen is the sole reason we are good, that coaching only gets in the way of his greatness.

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.

Does that mean everyone who wants to keep McDermott is guaranteeing we will win a Super Bowl with him?

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!

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

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.

There's no guarantee the current guy wins one either, so what's the difference

17 years of "this next coach will be the right one."  Not to mention the other 30-40 years of sucking.

Drought brain

 

McD and his defense ranked 29th in 3rd D% is the reason we are good, not the reigning NFL MVP

 

Josh Allen is only great because of Mcd
