McDermott almost cost us that game today.

He’s situationally awful at times

So McDermott needs to go to 4 straight super bowls to equal marv?

5 to be better.

I've already showed you their comparable win %'s.
McDermott is better.

Be better.

I’m fine with the picks. Be aggressive.

I’m not fine with the fumbles. Take the sack. Have some sort of patience. Brady when things don’t go well, will punt, punt, punt, and when the play is there he strikes. Allen is going to cost us a playoff game with his lack of discipline soon

- sbroads24

I have seen all qb's have a dud in the playoffs

including montana, bradshaw, young, manning and brady


the phins took away the run from allen

we still won

Davis was excellent

Diggs was great

The O line is a huge problem and they still have no one who can turn a short pass into a big gain

This O line will get manhandled by a Philly or San Fran if we were to make it to the SB

- sbroads24



It felt like the Bills / Dorsey had too many deep balls called. It was getting ridiculously. It was like Dorsey was a 10 year old kid running the game play.

Now in Dorsey’s defense …. Allen completed 3-4 of those cough cough. WRs catching the ball. I would think differently about the game plan

Man coverage. I don’t remember too many crossers

So 13 seconds was on McDermott? He's not calling the defense.

He coached us to a afc championship. 1 play from the superbowl.

13 wins this season.

Very impressive.

Marv was severely outcoached in all 4 superbowls

You don’t think he has any responsibility for the miscommunication of the special teams not squib kicking it and the defense folding in :13 and in OT?

He’s a defensive HC and in the two biggest games of his coaching career gave up a combined 80 points in his two trips to Arrowhead in the playoffs.

They also gave up 472 yards of total offence in a 27-24 win over the Colts in the 2020 wild card game. Should he get credit for that or does that go to Allen/Daboll ?

I’m hoping this year is a different script for Bills Mafia, but until they at the very least win a Lamar Hunt trophy, the playoff narrative will always stick around McDermott.

Good points.

I'm not really sure. Seems like Frazer should be blamed for prevent defense and play calling.

I've never really blamed McDermott. Maybe I should?

The 52-17 was pretty embarrassing.

I liked marv. Although he was kinda smug at the Bill's backers Monday QB club.

I'm not sure how old you are, but some of those 90's teams were man for man better at almost every position.

We should have won multiple superbowls IMO.
the talent was there....

We should have won one Super Bowl at the very least.

Those 89-94 Bills are a top-5 roster all-time, maybe even top-3.

Marv Levy is 10x the coach McDermott is. It’s not his fault the entire team showed up to each Super Bowl on 3 hours of sleep all hungover

He’s a good coach. A great leader of men.

I think he has some flaws though

He and Frazier have put together some genius game plans against great QB’s.

Bills might be the most successful team against Lamar Jackson. They also have given Mahomes two of his worst performances.

He does some dumb things though.

But the Bills rarely if ever get outplayed. They’re usually the better team. Do you realize what it takes to actually beat them?

Hail Murray
:13 seconds
Jefferson miracle catch and Allen fumbling
Guys collapsing of heat strikes in Miami

Teams never really straight up beat us

Absolutely agree.

Sometimes its difficult to be everything?

We've recently had :
Rixh jauron , rex. chan gailey, marrone probably a couple others.

I like the human McDermott is, which may lead to overvaluing him.

Norwood < Bass 🤔

I'd rather have the bengals. Re match. Although they went to the superbowl and have experience.

Who would you rather have?

I don’t know why my Mueller < Gilliam not showing up. I think I would rather have the Jags due to inexperience, but they are playing about as good as any team right now and hold Pederson in high regard.

Yeah. 3 times over 2 years is pretty great. And I’d argue we outplayed the Jets in the first game and just were sloppy
