McDermott needs to go. That’s on him. Which means he’ll be extended tomorrow

he already got his extension.... he does continue to show he not the right person to lead this team however. they just find new way to screw this up.... did anyone watching really thing Denver wasn't going to march down the field... but then to so screw up having 12 men on the field... complete bush league coaching.

12 men is on the special teams coordinator and the players. How do you not notice someone's on your spot? Just run off the field to the closest boundary. Rather have 10 on the field than 12

McDermott sucks. All he'll ever be is a great D coordinator.

I mean I’m not saying not blitz at all, but bringing an extra guy even 2 is different then playing cover 0 and bringing everyone
- Swedish_Jesus


Yeah you're prob right in restrospect - should have faked the blitz and dropped everyone into coverage. It goes back to stupid players, stupid coaches, clueless owner.

Looks like it might have been Hamlin on the field as the 12th man. Things can't get worse...

The Buffalo Bills on Friday announced contract extensions for general manager Brandon Beane and coach Sean McDermott through the 2027 season.

Why did they not have the field goal block squad out there after the timeout call on 3rd down?

All Denver was doing was kneeling it.

McDummy strikes again!

How do you determine who the 12th man is? Hamlin is a special teams regular, I'd expect him out there.

Why have them in there at all? It's not like they are actually trying to block it. Just keep your 11 out there.

How many times do we have to watch a McDermott defense fold at the end of a game? Twice already this year with one almost against the Bucs.

10 picks this draft. Could be a potential quick rebuild.

Yeah, that was dumb, not absolving McDermott, but the first fück up is on the special teams coordinator for not getting his guys ready

Yes, his whole tenure. What he's doing with the current defense minus 3 All-Pro players is nothing short of special. Frazier was also running his defense, McDermott just wasn't calling the plays like he is now

2020: AFC title game loss
2021: Divisional round (close) loss
2022: Divisional round (not close) loss
2023: Miss the playoffs (probably)

It’s hard to look at that and objectively say anything other than this is a franchise headed in the wrong direction.

Sabres and Bruins tonight, what are we seeing?

Sabres lose 100-0 to complete Okposo’s celebration?

Both the Sabres and the Bills attempt’s to “fix” their teams have imploded leading them to the regression expressway with no solutions in sight.

Somebody better get fired today, and I am betting it won't be the right Coach if it happens.

I said it then, that was their peak with McDermott… I think my exact words were “That might have been this team’s peak under McDermott, guys”…

But who do you even hire? Can an interim catch fire like with the Raiders?

I think the clock management is an issue. McDermott plays chess and he plays like you have to take turns scoring and win on the last score…

Josh runs it in with like 1:50 left… like dude run some clock, make them burn their timeouts… that’s on the coaches. Denver basically let him score so they could have the ball back. That’s coaching.

Season is done. We might not get 7 wins.

Add 12 men…

That’s coaching, no way to spin it.
