That OT loss against KC was devastating but to lose at home to Cincinnati the following year in a blowout should have been it

But they kept him but still couldn’t win

I don’t like to see any of these guys fired but he got 16 million still owed plus he’ll get a job quick like Stefanski

Brandon Beane won the power struggle over McDermott. They had been taking passive aggressive pot shots at each other. McDermott felt roster wasn’t good enough (which I agree with) and Beane thought McDermott needed to make better decision in-game and that roster was good enough. Clear Pegula thought Beane was right. But he messes this coaching hire :ufdup:

Owners are probably thinking if McDermott had this team focused all year, they don't lose to Atlanta and Miami, are the #2 seed and would have hosted a game this weekend.

Instead they watched the Patriots do all that in Vrabel's first year.

don't think it's his fault that Allen shat the bed the way he did or even the Cook fumble.

honestly, also not convinced that Allen with another coach alleviates the issues we saw today :yeshrug:
I disagree they was up 27-23 5 mins left he went with soft 4-3 zones to end the game. small dts and small lbs yearly:yeshrug: for his scheme getting killed with the rjn shoulda been fired years ago. Going single high safety on bo nix who only great with jump balls a fireable offense. He sucks they went defense every draft to assist him and still give up 30ppg

I think McDermott did good overall because he made playoffs every year and won at least a game each year with the exception of the Houston Texans game when Texans had Watson (that was Josh first playoff game I believe).

The problem is McDermott and Allen just fell short so many times in the playoffs.

I really thought this year would be the Bill's year and was predicting them to win a close game in New England just like they did their second meeting in New England this season.

McDermott went one and done twice, 2017 and 2019. I don't think he should have been fired, though.

I think we need to take a second and really look at this. Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Buffalo are three of the top run organizations in football. And they all have job openings! That's just crazy to me. If i'm a head coaching candidate, i'm doing cartwheels. Because the groundwork and culture has already been set. All you gotta do is fix the holes. If i'm interviewing, i'm coming in staff already set who I wanna hire. Understanding situational football and the details. You don't need a coach coming in with this my way or the highway attitude

Let me say this nikkaz know I've been on the fire Mcdermott train for a long time. I'm thankful for what Sean did for this franchise 17 years of absolutely nothing made us into contenders again. Actually, proud to be a Bills a fan again because we were miserable for a long time a joke. It was time we needed a change but let's be clear Brandon fukking Beane deserved to be fired way before Sean did. His arrogance roster construction is beyond laughable. We have quite possibly the best player in the damn NFL with a WR room comparable to the fukking Raiders who are picking 1st btw unacceptable. Fire Beane thank you Coach MCD for all your contributions to getting us out of the abyss. It was time he'll be successful elsewhere because he can coach:salute:
