But at some point this organization will need to get over the hump get in and then win Super Bowl. Question in my mind can McDermott coach a team to break that barrier ? That is the question in my mind.

It's sort of a 180 to then say they were at a huge disadvantage with him being on the field again in the divisional. I get the injuries were cumulatively a lot but the team was on a 6-0 run with a lot of praise given to the coaching staff and players for keeping that defense rolling. Yet when they get spanked by an underwhelming Chiefs offense (by their standards), suddenly we're rolling out the injury excuse. Here's my bottom line on this... Josh Allen was 100%. The offense was reasonably healthy. Davis was out, and that didn't help, but he had been entirely ineffective for many games during the season when healthy. Diggs had a huge drop. Allen and Sherfield didn't connect on a deep ball. Allen blew it with Shakir wide open in the middle of the end zone. Bass choked. Despite the injuries the plays were there to be made to win the game and they didn't get it done. Klein wasn't assigned to cover Kelce in the Pittsburgh game. He really struggled with that on a number of plays. He's certainly not the first, but he's lost a step and there's a reason he's been often unemployed or on a practice squad the past 2 seasons. The Bills had the opportunity to win the game, but they didn't win it. Yes, a few plays not well executed and one coaching decision that stands out mattered in the end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody everywhere knew Klein couldn't cover Kelce yet there he was being asked by the defensive mental midget to do it. Instead of putting the way more athletic Williams, which worked later in the game, or 3rd safety out there McDummass put Klein out there thinking that was a good matchup. The sample size and stats say McDermott is a horrible HC and DC in the playoffs, what reason is there to continue to go forward with him, there isn't one. They can't get rid of McDermott fast enough IMO! nope Edited January 24 by Fansince88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mason Rudolph also isn't Patrick Mahomes. I don't get why people are so up in arms...the best possible scenario for the BILLS coming into that game was having the ball with 2 minutes to go and a chance to win the game with the offense. McDermott was in a tough spot with Benford, White, Milano, Bernard and Rapp all out and Jones, Douglas, Poyer, and Hyde playing at less than 100%. KC lost their starting OTs before the Super Bowl and their offense went to absolute shit, scoring 9 points and Mahomes running for his life on the majority of passing downs. A big part of winning championships in any sport is being healthy when it matters most. The BILLS weren't and it was costly. It is what it is. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went into that game 100% expecting to be a close win or a loss. Anyone that Judges the coaching staff or the team as a whole based on the team that came out of the Pittsburgh game doesn't know football. The way I see it, get up, dust the dirt off and move on. No matter what I want them to do they are going to do what they do. Also regardless of what they do in the off season, I will believe they can go go undefeated right through the Super Bowl. I'm a fan. A really foolish fan! Please sir, may I have another. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious question... what happened on the TD pass where Kelce was basically uncovered? Who missed their assignment on that one? You guys know more about Klein's history than I do but it seems like a pretty egregious coaching decision to have him "covering" Kelce. The Bills coaching was poor in this game even taking into account the obvious plays where the players failed to execute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know the answer to your question as I haven't looked at replay and that might not answer it for me either. Klein was matched up in what looked like man coverage or middle zone on Kelce several times and couldn't hang. Milano often was matched up with Kelce in previous games but he was out too and his backup wasn't fully healthy and didn't play the whole game either. As for Klein, It's more complicated than just covering him with someone else as those changes affect other aspects of coverage on the field on any given play. The Bills simply didn't have a good healthy option at MLB for the game. Could the coach have schemed something different? Probably but he had a lousy hand with so many players out. A healthier, not even fully healthy Buffalo D in this game would have forced a couple more punts and that would have been the difference in the game IMO. I don't think a team can stop Mahomes and the good supporting cast with a pre-season defense. Edited January 25 by Ninety-4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
