Tough to suck the joy out of a victory like McD has done throughout his tenure here.

I get. You're up by 14 with 10:00? to go on Baker Mayfield, so punt it. Hell no, go for it on 4th and two. Seal the game on that play and celebrate before the final whistle.

No. That's not a McD's team, or a championship one

I won't blame him for Phillips acting like a moron on that 4th down play. The game would have been over and the Bills would have won 24-10.

I’m so sick of being in the shotgun inside the 5 yd line. We have the perfect QB for sneaks and play action. If you need a yard, play football like a bully.

This has happened far to many times during his tenure. He turns easy wins into almost loses. I want a coach who kicks the opponent in the face when he has them down.

That's on the OC. Call that play, I hated that shotgun run. And I mean this is a clear indication that McD doesn't trust his OC/O. I mean statistically over the last 4 years McD is one of the most aggressive 4th down playcallers in the league. But when you see the stupidity on O at times, and with the Buc looking incompetent for most of the night (I mean their last scoring drive took like 7 minutes), you'd probably punt too.

I hated the punts, basically said what we all know, we aren't good enough to overcome such a small failure.

Couldn't agree more .... need a yard you better know what to dial up.

Even the Bucs coach thought Josh was gonna run it .....

We just might be the 1st team in NFL history that needs to hire a 3rd down and short offensive coordinator ..... Dorsey has just consistently proven he doesn't understand that part of the game.

It would be different if he screwed up once or twice every 20 attempts or so but he's averaging better than what seems like 50% or higher ..... that's not good enough and a change shoulda been made a long time ago.

I'm strictly referring to 3rd and very short.

McD always looks scared on the sideline. He coached scared in the AFCCG and the :13 choke job. That was enough for me.

I want everyone on this team to succeed, including the coaches obviously, but how many more years does he get? Same story, and same mistakes, every year.

Two plays that stick out in my mind:

PLAY 1:

Right before the half. Tampa had already used their last time out. Their players are looking to Bowels on the sideline for what to do. Clock is down to 16 seconds, and it would be a 60 yard field goal.

So what does Opie do?

He calls timeout. If he lets the clock run, the half is over, just like the Giants game.

Instead, Tampa gets organized, and pretends to run a play. They eventually punt.

PLAY 2:

End of the game, Mayfield drops back to pass....sees nobody, and gets wrapped up for a sack, clock down to 6....5....4.

Oh Wait!!!

Opie called another of his patented "Oh shucks, let's give them another try" time outs. Put 12 seconds back on the clock, as the play never happened.

The game would have ended on that sack.

Instead, Mayfield completes an out pattern, then gets the Hail Mary with 4 ticks left.

He has pulled some boneheaded plays and called some silly time outs and challenges in the past, but this one takes the cake.

He's not learning from his mistakes, and he's coaching scared.

And then there's Dorsey:

Shotgun on the six inch line again.

WR screens that put us in 2nd and 11.

This team reminds me of the 95-96 Bills team.

They were still good, but the way some of the games came down to a last defensive stand, it was pretty clear that everyone else had either caught up with them, or surpassed them.

/end rant

^ McDermott has been giving the opponents free time outs all season long, it's frustrating as hell.

I don't mind the shotgun formation, see the interception for what happens when Josh goes under center. My biggest criticism of Dorsey is the WR screen/quick pass in horizontal motion plays...teams have figured them out and they fail 95% of the time.

3rd and inches from the goal line. What do they do? Line up in Shot gun and HAND IT OFF. WHY.

The offense was clicking, moving great, Josh looked like old Josh, even with half of a throwing arm, but some of the idiocy from Dorsey still returned. That was possibly the dumbest play call in Bills history. Why wouldn't you just QB sneak it, or at least line up in jumbo formation. The 4th down call was also stupid.

Also, can someone please tell Josh to stop the end of the quarter BS. It NEVER works, and almost always turns into something negative. They would've had the ball 2nd and 2 in Tampa territory to start the 4th, instead it was 3rd and 14 because Josh took a sack that should have never even happened.

He should have had the guts to go for it. What's the worst that would have happened? His D would have followed the lead and defended with guts.

Instead they followed the lead of their coach and played like pussies.

31/40 for 324 and 2 tds and 1 on the ground. Josh seems super neutered. What is the narrative when the team doesn't make the 1st down on 4th at the end? How did we do on 4th down so far in the game? You punt up 14 when your d was stopping them. They got bailed out by 2 x 4th down penalties and a non call on the Evans push off. Is it closer than we liked? Sure but a W is a W. They don't ask how, they ask how many.

Is everyone who has watched the last 3 weeks going to sit there and say for sure we would have converted? Because we were so good on short yardage earlier in the game?

I suspect you all were the people booing a team that was up by 2 scores.

On to Cincinnati.

How many times do people want to turn it over on downs? Going for it just over mid field is just stupid when you look at all the variables.

I disagree.

You punt. Worst case they get the ball at the 20 with 20 seconds.

If your defense can't stop them from going 80 yards in 20 seconds and no time outs, then you should just forfeit.

Right at the end of the 3rd quarter Cook runs for 8.5 ........ now it's 2nd and about 1.5 yards to go with the clock running out Josh hurries to line and they actually snap it resulting in a huge sack .... now it's 3rd and forever ...... you know the rest.

Yep. I said it in another thread. That's 100% coaching. Either Josh is being told to do that to try to get a free play, or he's not being told not to do it.

Either way, that's on McDermott to correct. It's happened many times over Josh's career. It almost never leads to anything positive.

Huh??

If you are talking about the decision to punt at midfield with 31 sec. left....that is the opposite of "pathetic". It was the smart situational football decision. Especially with Martin having a stellar day.

The bounce of the ball prevented it from being downed inside the 5. That's football. Just like the ball bouncing off Benford's helmet on 4th down TD. The ball is literately one inch to the left and it's incomplete.

I was extremely proud of McD and Dorsey (yes, the both get credit) making huge adjustments on a short week. The offense, and Josh looked like their old selves.

Al Michaels aptly mentioned a Marv Levey quote that is the prefect response to threads like these and stellar, solid advice for McD....

I did not doubt the Bills would win at any time last night.

I was frustrated with the stupid penalties (twice on 4th down) and the absurd bounce off Benford's helmet that if it was just an inch to the left would fall incomplete.

The fact is that we all lived through years and years of the Pats winning games EXACTLY like this....many times against the Bills. Same with KC or any other good team.

I’m catching flak from the townies because I’m saying a loss to Cincy is a foregone conclusion. So, if the Bills win, I’m banished for the rest of the NFL season (till the Super Bowl clock hits 0:00). If the Bills lose, he (and/or tou) ****s off till then as well. Again, this is not money, so leave your moral platitudes about gambling at the door.

This is your chance to believe in the Bills and silence one “negative” poster for the rest of the year. If you want, I’ll even take my lickings before the banishment.

Here’s a real simple one that’ll prove what a blowhard he is. And you can have a piece of the action too if you want. If you guys are afraid to bet money, then let’s do an extinction level event (ELE) for this week’s game

I’m catching flak from the townies because I’m saying a loss to Cincy is a foregone conclusion. So, if the Bills win, I’m banished for the rest of the NFL season (till the Super Bowl clock hits 0:00). If the Bills lose, he (and/or tou) ****s off till then as well. Again, this is not money, so leave your moral platitudes about gambling at the door.

This is your chance to believe in the Bills and silence one “negative” poster for the rest of the year. If you want, I’ll even take my lickings before the banishment.

See above post, no running from it now.

You're that desperate for attention? I get it. It's an Internet forum of virtual relationships. It's were attention seekers go, but you're taking it to a new level. No one really cares if you're banned or not. The bet proves nothing. Fans are fans by choice. Not by money. And not being a fan is a choice too. Like what you do when you root for them to lose.

For somebody who was rapid fire responding to all my posts until now, you sure outted yourself as a coward here. You complained about money so I took it off the table and made it about pride and you backpedaled with the quickness. If no one cares who’s banned or not, then all the more reason to take the bet. If you really didn’t care, you wouldn’t be responding to my posts. But you do, deeply. You want attention and post thanks and attaboys for being the good soldier.

So now that we’ve established you have no faith in the Bills either, we’re in the same boat. I’m a better fan than you though because I want a quick death to this coaching regime while you prefer a long, agonizing decay

I did not doubt the Bills would win at any time last night.

I was frustrated with the stupid penalties (twice on 4th down) and the absurd bounce off Benford's helmet that if it was just an inch to the left would fall incomplete.

The fact is that we all lived through years and years of the Pats winning games EXACTLY like this....many times against the Bills. Same with KC or any other good team.

That's football.

Buffalo doesn't belong in the same sentence as New England and Kansas City until they win a couple of Super Bowls.

Sorry, but your crapping on the Bills by saying "The Bills aren’t an honor student. They’re in and out of juvie" is so silly and devoid of ANY sense of reality.

These facts are the equivalent of a "honors student"....

2nd most wins of any NFL team since 2020
Four consecutive double digit winning seasons since 2019
Four consecutive playoff seasons
Three consecutive seasons of AFC East title winners
More playoff wins in the three seasons 2020, 2021 & 2022 than the previous TWENTY NINE SEASONS COMBINED
Top Five ranked offense (measured by YDS/G) every season since 2020, including this season.
Top three scoring offense every season since 2020, including this season.
Top two in scoring differential since 2021, including this season. #5 in 2020)

I could go on and on. Almost every team in the NFL would salivate at such and honorable record. A team "in and out of juvie" would be spending more time in the cellar than at the top of their division. Your perception is pathetically warped.

'But...but...but....you sputter....they haven't WON anything' (you use the word "accomplish" which is total bull****. 96% of teams every year (according to your lame criteria) do not "accomplish" anything. What baloney.

BTW....your big play at trying to turn the tables by calling me a "quitter" because I won't participate in your stupid $500 bet where you **** on the Bills....the more I think about it the more it proves the OPPOSITE.

That incredibly myopic and absurd idea is illustrated with this little piece of deeply flawed logic (or, I should say completely DEVOID of ANY logic)


It’s the same for you, if you truly believe something will happen then you’d be willing to bet money on it. If you don’t, then you don’t really stand by your convictions

An addict calling out others because they are not addicts too!! :rolleyes: A pathetically warped perception of an addict for sure!!

A "quitter" is one who stops doing something or gives up on something. I have already stated that I never, and I mean NEVER bet on anything, especially sports. The fact is that the last time I put any money on ANY sports was OVER FIFTY YEARS ago during high school when I bet ONE DOLLAR on a weekly football card a handful of times.

I liken gambling as the same as cheating on my wife. So, no, me maintaining my extreme aversion with gambling in no way whatsoever illustrates me "quitting"

You on the other hand, BRAG about your dumb betting adventures where you have stated, several teams, betting $500 on a SINGLE GAME. Which leads one to believe that you possibility bet literally thousands of dollars every week. That's YOUR problem. You have publicly stated that you have bet $500 AGAINST the Bills....most notably LOSING when you bet against them in the Miami game.

One who bets all the time, with substantial amounts of money, and wants to bet AGAINST the Bills is the epitome of "quitting" on the team.

Hey....knock yourself out with that. It's very plain that you are the OPPOSITE of a Bills "fan". Which makes your constant insufferable ****ting on them irreverent and not credible.

2 years ago we were 13 seconds away from the AFC title. Last year we were completely disinterested in showing up for a Divisional Round playoff game.

This year, the offense looks like garbage and the defense is decimated.

We're not even staying stagnant, we're going backwards.

Do you have confidence this team could go into Arrowhead and beat the Chiefs? Mahomes will eat our decimated defense alive and the offense hasn't shown, this year, that they have any ability to put up 35+

Watch the play.

Otton just stops and the ball was way over his head. He would never have gotten a call on a Hail Mary. Godwin you could make a case for but I have no idea what he was doing as he didn't turn around to locate the football until it was too late. But at best that off-sets the PI by Evans. Game still over.

And if you want to play what if, if Phillips just keeps a hold of Mayfield instead of trying to take him down, or the refs blow the whistle earlier because the play was over, the game likely ends 24-10.

Thanks, Tony Robbins. Nobody is a victim, except maybe Allen and Diggs.

I’m not wrong, as evidenced by the diminishing returns every season and the pathetic display of football over the last month. Same coaches, same inconsistencies and poor discipline.

If the Bills were a family and Ken Dorsey and McD were Allen’s foster parents, the Christian thing to do would be to support them to the hilt, through thick or thin (the way strong families do), and gather strength through supporting each other when things are going relatively well (in the top 10 W/L records in the whole league, in the top 5 W/L records in the AFC, #1 in the NFL in point differential, #3 in points scored, only 5 teams with more wins, only one half game out of AFCE lead...and on and on and on), although not perfectly.

Your weird analogy that "I’ve seen enough cigarette burns and bruises in various stages of healing on Allen’s body over the last 2+ years ..." is so off the wall crazy and the opposite of any reality.

Josh Allen has been treated like a KING. No "cigarette burns" which means you are actually putting forth the lunatic idea that he has been abused the past 2+ years. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Jesus. Dosey got the OC job because Josh wanted him. Josh's input is not only sought out by the coaches, it's respected and followed.

That fact alone that the opponent chose to stay which was smart on their part .... that shoulda clued you in as if you needed to be clued in .... that's just sad in and of itself.

100%

They were smelling themselves after the most complete game they played since Week 2, 2022 and McD thought they could just show up and win on fear factor. The only other explanation is that Pegs ordered the team to save a couple shekels by going later, but I refuse to believe that.

The formula was in how to beat them after they played the 9ers and chargers i believe. Jam them at the line, disrupt the timing, etc.

what do we do? No, we're gonna do it 'our way'
lets give them that stupid cover 2 cushion. let's not disupt the timing. so of course Waddle AND hill get long touchdowns and the Bills barely win. Hey, but at least we did it 'our way.'

:rofl: 'I'll (actually...you) take ignorant (as in now knowing AT ALL) assumptions for $1,000 Alex'.

In my 30 year career in B to B sales I traveled for my living. NEVER working in an office (or place where co-workers gather to work together) like most people schlep to every day. ALWAYS working on the road.

In the last 16 years before I retired, I averaged 130 overnights a year with four years more than 150. I have been to every NFL city (except Green Bay) many times, and have been in every state except Alaska, Hawaii, N. Dakota, S. Dakota, Nebraska & Wyoming (no business worth going to those states). Most of the other 44 states I have been to several times. A lot of time in Canada as well.

Crisscrossed over different time zones all the time.....in the same week and then working 12 hour days regularly. The heaviest travel was done after I turned 50 years old. Also traveled to Europe several times.

I am NOT a world class athlete (or young), nor was I able to travel in the lap of luxury, pampered every step of the way.

You want to buy into the excuse, that's your business. The Bills decision on their travel arrangements was done after consulting with medical and health experts.

If there was reliable evidence it makes a huge difference, you would see all the teams doing the same thing.

Crisscrossed over different time zones all the time.....in the same week and then working 12 hour days regularly. The heaviest travel was done after I turned 50 years old. Also traveled to Europe several times.

I am NOT a world class athlete (or young), nor was I able to travel in the lap of luxury, pampered every step of the way.

You want to buy into the excuse, that's your business. The Bills decision on their travel arrangements was done after consulting with medical and health experts.

If there was reliable evidence it makes a huge difference, you would see all the teams doing the same thing.

So you never flew around the world for business. Your point is moot.

Miami got into Germany a few days early. KC is taking a page out of the Bills playbook.

Don’t forget Baltimore went in earlier and they won their game too.

Yup just stupid on our part.

and while i'm in the piling on mood, it reminds me of the second miami game last year.

The formula was in how to beat them after they played the 9ers and chargers i believe. Jam them at the line, disrupt the timing, etc.

what do we do? No, we're gonna do it 'our way'
lets give them that stupid cover 2 cushion. let's not disupt the timing. so of course Waddle AND hill get long touchdowns and the Bills barely win. Hey, but at least we did it 'our way.'

Tua actually had fewer passing yards, as many TDs and about the same completion percentage against the Bills versus the 49'ers. The difference was Tua threw 2 INTs against the 49ers.

Gotta chip on their receivers making him take a little bit more time.

A good day against the run is also part of the formula.

Again his passing yards were fewer against the Bills while his completion percentage and TDs were the same.

As for the rush defense, that's the major difference. The Bills just weren't good at it and allowed almost 150 more yards than the 49'ers did.

Usually the 1st rule of football stop the run or make it something that the opponent tends to shy from.

Make an opponents attack one dimensional and go from there.

It's a passing league now. You're better-served focusing more on stopping the pass than the run. Especially when you have a high-powered offense.

I was just saying that not-jamming WRs wasn't the reason the game was close and actually worked better than what the 49'ers did.

I did say used to be stop the run .... I recognize the league is all about the passing game.

Now you want to limit it and not get beat up all day so you can have some semblance of a pass rush when needed.

The 49ers without Deebo was all the difference that was needed .... with him they kick their asses jmo.

No it's not.

It is in direct refuting to the ignorant assumption (http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/showthread.php/264138-McDermott-is-pathetic?p=5056444&viewfull=1#post5056444) that "you've either never travelled, or you are trolling"

I DID fly to Europe for business. And the Bills most certainly did NOT "flew around the world".

The FACT is that in a super competitive league that every single edge is taken seriously, no matter how small.....teams have NOT taken the "it's dumb to travel on Thursday before a game in Europe" seriously.

If they did then every team would avoid it.

They don't.

Just like I said, the travel day canard is just that.

If the Bills came out in the start of the game like KC just did, it would have been a completely different game.

KC looked ready to play, and Miami not as much.

It has little (if anything) to do with travel plans.


What "point is moot" is that travel plans to Europe have an outsized influence on the readiness to play or the outcome.

It's a loser's excuse.

Miami’s D looked ready after the first drive. The Miami O… not so much. All that motion… it’s smoke and mirrors. KC didn’t move with all the pre snap crap. They are exposed.

Well, great, now that you’ve established in your mind that jet lag had nothing to do with it, we can all agree the coaching sucks now since they weren’t ready to play.

It can’t be neither so which is it.

Unequivocally, 100%, definitively McDermott should be fired after this season.

There shouldn't even be a debate about this anymore.

Our roster is basically a Ferrari...with a Yugo engine of a coaching staff.

We're wasting away a franchise QB with a chicken ish, no cojones, soft, unmotivating coaching staff.

Yeah we have injuries on defense but we make mental mistakes defensively, we take poor angles at tackling and we miss tackles left right and center. But Frazier was the problem and him being gone was the magic pill that would cure everything.

Offensively we're now trying to turn our highly rated passing offense into a running offense and it's not working. Allegedly Marty McDermott's fingerprints are all over the offense as well from what I've read and heard.

Said it before, will say it again, this team will never win with Marty McDermott and his garbage staff on the sideline. And the longer ownership takes to figure this out the more time we're going to waste.

What, do you see the players as a bunch of toddlers that need their mommies to dress them properly for kindergarten????


These are full grown men. Professional NFL players that are literally paid millions and millions to play a game they have been excelling at for decades.

Sorry, but the PLAYERS are the ones that need to be held accountable at least as much (and I think more) than mommy coaches.

Another terrible take, what a surprise:rofl:

When the whole team looks like garbage and it's supposedly NOT jetlag (in your expert opinion on how strictly regimented professional athletes respond to transatlantic flights and time zone changes), yeah...I'm going to blame the coaches and not 53 individual players.

The funny thing is that isn't even the worst part of your take. Your insistence on sticking up for these loser coaches is why you're a loser. If Sean McDermott leaves tomorrow the team will do no worse than stay the same the rest of the year, but with a very high likelihood that they even improve.

If Josh Allen leaves tomorrow this team finishes 5-12. You need to learn the game and realize who's responsible for anything half-way decent the Bills have done in recent years

No, it's not a "terrible take". It is a realistic and astute take. I do not need your approval to know the truth.
