Re: PFT: Sean McDermott: “Feels natural” to call defensive plays
McDermott did just place himself on the hot seat.
Now we gotta find out what we have.

Re: PFT: Sean McDermott: “Feels natural” to call defensive plays
I’m pleased that McDermott will be calling defensive plays. Now the responsibly is squarely on his shoulders and his shoulders alone.
Of course, the reality is that the Bills have already had extremely good defenses for most of the McDermott years.
Discounting his first year as HC (while the team was in complete rebuild mode) they have ranked in total defense, by total yards allowed per game...
2018 - #2
2019 - #3
2020 - #14
2021 - #1
2022 - #6
Similarly, the very important ranking of points allowed per game, the Bills have also been one of the best defenses in the NFL...
2018 - #18
2019 - #2
2020 - #16
2021 - #1
2022 - #2
The dip in 2020 was understandable to a certain degree because that was the year that Josh Allen and the offense exploded and went from #24 ranked offense (in yards per game) in 2019 to #2 in 2020. Similar drastic improvements in scoring per game from #23 in 2019 to #2 in 2020.
The all important differential between points scored and allowed shows substantial improvement from 2018 to 2019, and despite defensive lapse (in ranking) in 2020, the stellar rise to #5 in DIFF show the emergence of the Bills as an elite team.
2018 - #28
2019 - #10
2020 - #5
2021 - #1
2022 - #2
There is not a lot of room for perceived “improvement”. Certainly we all have an eye on the ultimate goal of getting to and winning a Super Bowl. But the sense from some that the Bills defense has been some huge disappointment is unfounded.
I suspect that no matter what there will be the usual Negative Nancys whining that the sky is falling.

Sorry, but those numbers mean quite a bit. Especially DIFF.
Plus your observation that "This team can never get a stop or a sack when it matters in the McDermott era” is just plain false and extremely silly.

I’m talking about both the Miami and Minnesota games. The same defensive HUGE stop won the KC game. Another HUGE INT in the end zone helped the Bills win the Baltimore game.
That’s just off the top of my head for 2022 only.
Your statement that "This team can never get a stop or a sack when it matters in the McDermott era.” is incredibly ignorant and just plain dumb.
Since 2017, the Bills have had the third most wins in the NFL....despite the ‘just starting to overhaul the team’ in 2017....and the total rebuild of 2018. A team does not win more game than 29 other teams int he NFL if they “...can never get a stop or a sack when it matters...”.
The silly “....107 pts given up in our last 3 playoff losses” is what “mean(s) jack****” and is "just fluff”. KC had 95 pts given up in their last three playoff losses. So ****ing what????
The last three playoff loses the Bills scored only 60, and KC 64.
Besides the fact that the Bills played in NINETY FOUR other games since 2017.
You literally have no idea what you are talking about.

Originally posted by TacklingDummy View PostHe probably was on the hot seat. That's why he took over calling plays. If you are going to go down you might as well be calling the plays.
