Nothing satisfies me more than McDermott being shown as a fraud this season. BB is old, but what is Sean's excuse?

You would have made a lot of money Denver would have a better record than Buffalo at this time

That miscommunication between Allen and Davis will be painful for the next two weeks

Reminder - McDermott calls the D. Total suck job the last two drives by him. Bailed out at the end of the fourth by Kelce penalties.
Did Buffalo stop running the ball in OT (I missed the beginning of OT making dinner)? The way they were running the ball in the 4th quarter, I thought the Eagles had zero chance of stopping them.

Knew the Bills were losing this game as soon as Diggs did the wing flap after their last TD. No team has a bigger swagger:achievement ratio.

The Eagles adjusted. The Bills ran a few times, but didn’t get much.

To get in, Buffalo probably needs to go 4-1 against a remaining schedule of: at KC, Dallas, at LAC, NE, at Miami. Otherwise they’ll be in tiebreaker roulette against anywhere from 1-3 other teams.

I'm no McDermott fan but this team is right there. Just can't execute in close games. That's on the coach but also the players. They pretty much have to have the KC game now. They are still a lot scarier than the bottom half of the AFC playoff teams at the moment (Indy, Cleveland, Pitt etc.). Really just need to get in the tournament. Their loss to the Pats is inexplicable and might sink them in the end.

McDermott is the defensive play caller. This is his mess.

Honestly they should have fired him after letting Mac actually look like a competent QB in the 4th quarter. A real team doesn't let that happen. Coach Hardo did.

So they need to go 3-1 against a remaining schedule of: at KC, Dallas, at LAC, at Miami, you mean?

I mean, they just lost to the Pats last month, they’re erratic enough (as demonstrated by their record) that I don’t think any game is a gimme.
I was mostly just joking but it's hard to see this Pats team beating a Bills team battling for their playoff lives in Buffalo.

They are still obviously way better than the Pats - despite NE's win over Buffalo earlier in the season - but 6-6 with a top 6 scoring offense and a top 5 scoring defense, with all-world Josh Allen at QB and a weapon like Diggs at WR? Talk about underperforming.

They call every contact with the qb but skip that

Staley has got to be furious. His job is on the line and the zebras are absolutely killing him.
