He was also asked about making his top two returners inactive, and pointed to the Patriots' lone turnover when N'Keal Harry had the ball bounce off his face mask and the Bills recovered in the first quarter.

“Yeah, the same reason that they turned it over, the same reason they turned it over on their punt return team, I wasn’t willing to do that," McDermott said. "I wanted to put a guy back there that I trusted that was going to make good decisions with the ball.”

Ouch.

Gluttons for punishment. Tip : Do yourselves a favor and avoid coming in here for a few days after a Bills loss (same with the Sabres). Or sure, let's all rehash the awfulness of last night over and over again and dwell on it for days ! That'll do you well.

What's the point of it all anymore? Eff Buffalo sports.

Just trying to help. I've felt a lot better since I've not been so die-hard in my fandom. I seriously didn't know we were on MNF til like... Saturday. Made the mistake of watching last night's debacle (albeit via the DVR around 10:30 last night, fast forwarded a lot of it). Still sucked doing it that way, but it's still better then watching this bullcrap team live during the broadcast. I feel slightly better than most if you, I'm sure, since I fast forwarded through a lot of the agony.

Take care.

Lame.

No offense.

Be a fan or don't be a fan. This half-assed "I watch the games on the dvr in like ten minutes" crap??

What's the point? Just watch the highlights on the news.

They won’t ever can McDermott. Even though his aggressive playing style has gone soft

Like why didn’t they go for 2 points to tie the game after the TD?

Going for the fieldgoal even from 35 was also a joke

McDermott has made some terrible coaching decisions

No, I personally don't believe he is. Like I said, 4-12 coaches get fired, not coaches who have them in the playoffs 3 of the last 4 years.

They've got holes. That's on the GM.

He cares enough to record it to watch it later

He thinks he doesn't care but he does

You're right. It's a level of care though. Very low. No longer a super-fan and it feels better. Someday, i'll probably give up the DVR thing too. My wife, who absolutely hates sports, had to tell me that there was a Bills MNF game and she only knew because she saw it on the news. That's how much my fandom has decreased, and believe me, I was there watching the early 70s Bills teams.

Anyway, just trying to help. I'm sure none of you will try the DVR method but it really helps. Also, gives you more time to do the really important things in life !

So no offense, but you are taking time out of your day to post on a very select hockey message board. That doesnt scream "I dont care at all"

Can't often say I need a Sabres game to clear my mind, but the distraction is necessary after that poop show I endured last night 🤢

Hope UPL can break the trend of 5+ goals against.

I don't care, trust me, but I care just enough to record every game, discuss our bottom-feeder hockey team on a discrete hockey blog for years on end, tell all of you about how little I care and how much free time I have because of it. If you couldn't already tell, I'm so much better off because of how little I care.

Who cares we can't stop the run? There's no running in hockey.

Yup. He hasn’t shown anything.

But if you are going to lose 5-3. Mine as well see UPL. See what he’s got over Aaron dell

You learn more from UPL than Aaron dell. Dell you know already sucks and is a career ahler
