Buffalo Bills Week 15: New England (3-11) at Buffalo (11-3), 12/22, 1:00 PM, CBS

I get no coach is perfect, but poor coaching has been responsible for a few playoff losses. I'm very happy we have a good coach like McDermott, but after a few gaffs, most people are going to be quick to point out failures when they continue to show up. The Bills winning a superbowl makes this all go away. But for now people will question him on bad calls and rightfully so.

Hes definitely grown, its just been very slow. He's not as quick to be conservative and is more trusting of his playmakers than he used to be. I want him to now be the coach that regularly outmaneuvers the man on the other sideline, not just outscores him.

Go Bills

McD may have issues eating shite publically over things going on you perceive to understand but you don't

what he's done covering w scheme w Babich and giving rookies and sophomores the ability to be successful in a fooked league where western NY does everything twice.

McD is a great coach for buffalo pissed enough to flip a script that Kelly and Levy couldn't F agendas, masons , insecure control mechanisms


I enjoy watching well played ball..

a playoff performance from the D that was clicking the first half we'll be fine

Think we're hoping for Denver to lose to the Chargers and Bengals so that the last game of the season isn't a "who cares" game for Denver. Denver's played KC more than tough over the last couple of seasons.

Of course, that could leave the window open for Cincy to sneak into the playoffs if KC beats Denver anyway.

I’m interested to see when the Denver/KC game is scheduled.

I don’t think clinching status will matter to Denver much. The difference between possibly playing @ Buffalo/KC or @ Pittsburgh should be enough. And I’m sure if they have an opportunity to ruin the one seed for KC that’ll be an added bonus.

I’m more worried about our defense. They’ve given up 90 points in the last 2 weeks. Expecting Allen to perform at this level every game just to have a chance at winning is kind of unreasonable.

They need to heal up for sure. When healthy, they can be solid.

McD usually makes rookie QB's see ghosts, but Maye (with his mobility) is going to be a royal pain in ass...TWICE now!

No let downs.

and a healthy Bills D as well. We were missing 3 starters in the secondary (both safeties) and lost 2 linebackers during the game.

It was noticeable when Elam, Milano, and Bishop went down. The Lions made it look easy once they went down. I thought the defense was making the Lions work for it prior to those injuries.

McD’s focus and commitment to building a physical offensive line and a team able to run the ball has freed Josh up to have the best year of his career in a multi dimensional offense.

Many on this board were critical of him being an old conservative outdated defensive mind for his constant focus on being able to run the ball and win up front.

Not only was McD right that this was the answer, it unleashed our franchise QB to win his first MVP and hopefully a Lombardi.

Go Bills.

The good thing is that most of the issues for the DBs, outside of the Douglas injury, should be short term stuff.

And even with Milano going down with the groin, the bigger issue might be how healthy is Dorian Williams.

At least Ed Oliver showed up yesterday.

Williams came back in I think ?

Groin can be 3-4 weeks easy.

Oliver was a force.

QB Allen reaches new heights, keeps Bills rolling

Josh Allen continues to write his name in the record books as he led the Bills past the Lions on Sunday.

Before joining the Buffalo Bills this offseason, Mack Hollins saw what Josh Allen is capable of on a football field by watching games on TV and playing on teams against him.

Early into his time with the Bills, there was some surprise. That quickly dissipated.

"[Initially it] was like, 'Oh, he really does this in real life,'" Hollins said. "... But he consistently does it. So, it's not a surprise. It's not luck, it's not a fluke. It's just who he is."

Williams came back in I think ?

Groin can be 3-4 weeks easy.

Oliver was a force.

Williams came back, but his elbow had some hardware on it. Just because he was able to come back doesn't mean that he isn't dealing with something pretty bad.

Time will tell.
