I'm still trying to figure that out myself.
McDermott seems to have these phases of complete and utter brainfartery in a season that costs badly. No idea what happened to the pass protection when it was needed last night, or indeed last week against the Ravens. We had the chance after turning them over again on their own 20yd line but then only settling for a FG to tie the game, but what happened after that is hugely frustrating.
Need to get back on track and soon though.
It feels like McDermott and his staff are top tier for about 85% of a season, but there are key moments in which they can have huge brain farts. It’s felt like for 3-4 years that when they get a team in 3rd and long in pivotal moments they can’t close it out for example.
It’s difficult because his record is really strong, especially when compared to the last 20 years in Bills performances, but there is a lingering doubt about his ability to take them all the way.
They could really use another WR who’s reliable, and getting healthy on defense would be great.
Thankfully the division is trash, really need 3x strong bounce back performances.
