    Fixing the Officiating

    Nobodys gonna like this, but some penalties and non penalties need to be reviewable. Human error will never go away.


    this is where I’m at. Make almost all of them reviewable. Refs will be more likely to not call a ticky tack foul if they know it’s reviewable. So the problem may automatically fix itself without even needing that many more reviews. 
     

    every game has an additional Ref up in the booth or in NYC reviewing the replays and overturning calls automatically. Some calls are obvious to anyone. If it’s subjective then it’s not a foul. Period.

    And yet again, the Chiefs benefit from this.

    When was the last time the chaos train stopped in Kansas City?

    Travis Kelce has basically missed 1-2 games since his rookie season. The dude never gets injured or misses a game. Andrews can’t stay on the field at TE. 
     

    Mahomes has a high ankle sprain and is still able to play. Any other player misses 1-4 weeks.

    And yet None of their WRa have a game with 100 yards receiving yards this year and Lamar averaging 1 TD passes per game and 30-40 or so more yards passing per game than last year. 

    It’s crazy how little people on here know about other teams in the NFL. 

     

    Bills can sure learn something about the Ravens’ WR. 🙄🙄🙄

    Do you want Sean McDermott to be the head coach of the 2024 Buffalo Bills?

    I'm trying to get a feel for where Bills fans stand on this issue this morning.

    Simple Yes or No question.

    Why would you create a poll mid season asking us to vote for NEXT season. I can’t vote since I don’t know what the end result of THIS season is. 
     

    Do you want McD to be coach of the 2023 Week 11 Buffalo Bills is the question to ask. That is a simple yes/no. Your question has too many unknowns. 

     

    If we run the table and make the AFCCG, 99% of the people who answer no now will likely change their minds.

    For those who don't know, I will say some things I've said before. It's on you to weigh it but...

     

    Daboll was fed up with the way McDermott meddled with things. McDermott didn't earn respect and wasn't liked by many players, in turn daboll earned respect from the offense who bought into him. This caused a rift between McDermotts "process" and Dabolls calm zen like approach that guided our offense. Think back how relaxed we were.

     

    With 13 seconds the trust daboll had earned shown in how that offense went out and executed precisely as a top team should with great talent. They were all in on trusting Daboll to put them in a position to win. McDermott had been over the shoulder much of the season with Frazier that year. As the game got tight at closing some felt as if McDermott took his hands off the wheel a little and lost composure/control. Frazier did a lot in those last minutes. The kickoff has McDermott coaching one thing but not the ST who had the kickoff and coverage out of sync. 

     

    Players knew this. They were told all their career in Buffalo that there was a process and trust. And accountability. There were fights in the lockerroom and on the way back. To my knowledge no physical assaults, but peoppe pulled apart.

     

    This was not even the first eyebrow raising issue. That was 2017 and the Peterman 5 pick game in SD. The entire team was against it. Team Captains told coach they didn't want it. Peterman comes in and throws 5 picks. By halftime players have texted a few friends and folks some pretty harsh words. No one could explain it. It was easily forgotten when we made the playoffs. Easily forgotten now.

     

    Going back to 13 seconds - you can look at some interesting tidbits: Spain and coach argued, Hughes always being in the doghouse for no reason, Beasley completely abandoned and not supported to be himself, Araiza dropped, Levi Wallace getting tossed as a scapegoat, many others.

     

    The lockeroom has a divide in the lockerroom that doesn't trust McDermott. That's part of the reason some players are here and stick/stuck (Lee Smith, AJ Klein).

     

    There is a lot there that was seen and known by people around and left, even if we didn't like them. I would honestly love if Whaley came out and weighed in on his personal thoughts - it'd be a treat for that to be public. 


    Daboll’s zen like approach? Want it Daboll that was berating Allen on the sidelines like Allen was a 10yr old? 
     

    did you see Daboll chew out Tyrod Taylor - a veteran - just a few weeks ago? 
     

    You lost me there. There is nothing zen about Daboll.

    Fire McDermott - 12 On the Field INEXCUSABLE

    Earlier today I told my friend my knock on McD was the constant Keystone Kops feeling we always seem to have at the end of halfs and games.  Then tonight right on cue here comes yakety sax music

    I think there is something to that. What’s weird is that I feel Andy Reid had a little bit of that as well when he was in Philly - everyone was just waiting for the other shoe to drop and it always did. It almost becomes psychological for the entire team; you’re just waiting for something to go wrong.  But then he found the perfect pairing with Mahomes and it has worked. 
     

    I don’t know what McD’s fait will be but his time in Buffalo may be done soon. Might be best for both parties. I wanted it to work but we are always waiting for the other shoe to drop and it always does, inevitably.

    You do understand that fron the sideline it is difficult (if not impossible) to count all your down linemen. At the very least someone upstairs should have alerted McD to the 12 men.


    Listen I’m kinda with you. But regardless it’s fair to say this isn’t the first time that SOMETHING goes wrong and we lose the game in painful fashion. It’s becoming a trend. That starts at the top. It’s getting more obvious as the years go on but same end result - finding ridiculous ways to lose. Yeh, maybe it technically wasn’t McD’s responsibility on that specific play. However, the stench from the rotting fish head has seeped its way across the entire team and mistakes keep happening. And that ultimately falls on McD.
