This might be one of the stupidest things I've ever read. They choked but nobody's job is in jeopardy - Slump Buster
Alot of coaches have been fired for less whether you think it stupid or not. McDermott and Frazier failed to adjust the defense at any point this game. Arguably the biggest game of their coaching career. |

Agreed. McDermott (frank)ed up at the end, but he's not losing his job. He's made the playoffs 4 out of 5 years, and in football that's hard to do (and no, before one of you twats puts words in my mouth, just making the playoffs isn't the goal). |

I think it’s very fair to question if he has what it takes to ever beat someone like Reid in the playoffs
He got schooled for the second year in a row |

Name one. McDermott could set the yacht on fire and he would get 2 more years. |

He was less conservative than last year but clearly made mistakes. We are still in good hands for the future. Reid made mistakes as well. There isn't a magic coach out there |

Solely because of Allen.
McDermott is a defensive coach who’s defense gets out coached in big moments
Can’t plan on facing Mac Jones every year in the post season
Phillip Rivers tore his defense apart last year. Watson had a huge second half against them, Mahomes has destroyed them twice
They’ve had one good game against Lamar Jackson and one against a rookie |

I'm not cutting McDermott any slack for a few decisions tonight, but he hasn't coached 400 games like Reid has. Reid is an experienced coach with game breakers on his roster. |

They should be in jeopardy, but they absolutely won’t fire him. - sbroads24
What does McDermott do well?
Analytics - No
Clock management - no
Time out usage - no
Situational awareness - clearly no
Gets his team focused every week - no. |

I think he’s a solid coach. But I don’t think he’s a guy who can take them to the Super Bowl with a team that’s about to have cap restraints |

A bounce or coin flip goes the other way and all of the narratives change. Reid has one more sb win than McDermott in a lot more kicks at the can. He has also been fired once more. McDermott will grow a lot moe after today, as he did since last year. The guy is in the coach of the year conversation every year and has helped build a sustainable winner. Our day is coming. |

Marty Schottenheimer with the chargers, they were perennial super bowl contenders under him and he got canned. Coaches get fired that make the playoffs, it happens, it's nothing new.
Do I think McDermott will get fired? No. Is it possible? Yes. My guess is Frazier will be the one gone. |

That wasn't your argument. You said he would get canned for a questionable performance tonight. McDermott is still trending up. |

Disagree on many of these . Either way, who would you roll the dice with if not him? |

Flores, but if I'm getting a new HC he's gotta be an offensive guy |

"How does McStupid keep his job after this disgrace."
" He might not, Frazier is gonna get a HC job (stupidly)/fired. Daboll is gonna get a HC job. McDermott honestly might not survive."
Never said he would or should be fired. Just said there is precedence of playoff coaches getting fired. |

We were a better team in the playoffs than we were last year. We got better. It took a historical game to beat us. |

So the answer is it would be a complete gamble to think we would be upgrading coaches. We watch coaching idiocy every week in this league. Hell, Reid had a terrible punt decision today. |

Not over a single game. That was my point. We win the coin toss and this isn't even talked about. That's all you need to know.

We were a better team, that lost because a defensive minded coach completely botched the last 13 seconds of regulation and lost to a team that has beaten you now 3/4 times and 2/2 in the playoffs (with Mahomes)
I can’t possibly view that as trending up but I agree he’s going nowhere

That last 13 seconds was almost all-time bad coaching. He's 3-3 as Bills HC and 0-2 against the Chiefs in the playoffs. I agree he's not getting fired, but if his defense blows another playoff game against the Chiefs next year? I wouldn't be so sure. |

The loser of the game is the second best team in football. Last year we weren't that as we were outclassed. |

The previous 108 head coaches before him had zero playoff appearances. Any other questions? |
