    McDermott is never going to lead the bills to a super bowl. He makes terrible decisions in close games under pressure.

    He’s a good coach and he’s also not the right one to get the bills over the top.

    The sooner they accept this and move on the better off they will be.

    If they play good, Josh Allen is elite. If Allen plays like shit fire the entire staff.

    I hope some of the simps begin to take the madden curse serious. Unless you are Tom Brady do not be on the cover because you will have a terrible season or in the case of Peterson you will be exposed as a child abuser

    There’s no doubt that the Bills are underperforming. Not sure if firing Ken Dorsey is going to fix their problems. Seems like more of a scapegoat to me.

    ITT: people who don’t watch the Bills every week using surface-level analysis to convince us to ignore what we can see with our own eyes.

    McDermott is far from perfect. But look no further than my Bears to know you can do FAR worse at head coach. They are having 1 awful season by their expectations after being completely uprooted by injuries on both sides of the ball. The Dorsey firing feels like a scapegoat and a bit premature, but I don’t think I can look at McDermotts entire tenure with the Bills and make the argument that he deserves to be fired into the sun right now.

    The Bills #1 problem is Josh Allen. He was a turnover machine in college. He’s been a turnover machine in the NFL.

    Have said for a few years he’s basically a slightly more successful Zimmer who also overstayed his welcome. Bills are stuck in the same spot of being usually better than average but defensive coach holding team back overall

    The article thinks the 2020 Bills were magical, and they were really hecking good, but the 2021 Bills were the team that really made me believe that the curse was over and the team was really going to win the Super Bowl when Buffalo finally pulled ahead with thirteen seconds left.

    I’ll never forget that moment, if only for how cruelly it was ripped away.

    I don’t understand the Cook and Kincaid picks. Was there really a reason to believe these prospects could move the needle in the middle of their championship window?

    It’s very interesting watching the entire football brain trust try to dissect exactly why we suck. It’s Dorsey! It’s JA! It’s McDermott!

    “What surprised me most was head coach and defensive playcaller McDermott calling for an all-out blitz on third and 10 when the Broncos were on the 45-yard line, well out of field goal range.

    That was purely asinine coaching.”

    This is the same call he made against the bengals after Josh brought the score to 24-18. 1st and 10 after the TD and 2pt and McDermott calls a cover 0 all out blitz giving up a 32 yard pass to Boyd all but ending the chance to get the ball back.

    McDermott didn’t even learn from the failure the week before. The team has so many injuries to the secondary, so naturally as a good coach you would put them in man coverage with no safety help in critical parts of the game…

    As it has been said “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”
