People I talk to did.

You only saw him during games.

Wut?

possibly.

allegedly.

i can ask them to tackle better. to not have breakdowns in their execution. to make better reads. they haven't lost a game this year by attrition. they've not been seeming to play tired. just uninspired and demotivated.

who knows if it would have been different had he stayed in. dorsey likely had to abandon all of the plays he had drawn up, regardless.

agreed. his plan was not a good plan, it wasn't working, it wasn't smooth and workable. no one was better with his play calling. joe brady will havea tough time recovering this problem

would you respect a coach that prepared a replacement while having the original position filled?

we automated your position, you're not needed any longer. i did take it personally, though. i came back and you left.

Pegs running this like a business and extending leashes to let people hang themselves - that tracks. (I don't know much or have much to get inside the FO)

He didn't talk about anything else but everyone else. A lot of "we's". Leaders accept all responsibility, solely. He needs to say "I" when it's bad, we when it's good. He doesn't. He's a chump clown

The history of McDermott is against this. From his scapegoat ST after 13 seconds to this 12 men on the field moment. There used to be an argument that McDermott was too focused on defense and not enough on the rest. If that's the case why can't he count to 12? Why ain't he noticing 12 men, or someone else? All of these breakdowns around him show the sign.

Holding players accountable vs being at practice is entirely different. You only see games.

I am not. As a coach during the week he was calm, collected. When times arise he stepped in This isn't my singular take. This is from players. They said daboll was chill and easy to work with...

Simon won't dare.

He's a good boy, he didn't do nothing wrong.

Big question mark on why the change came now before this stretch. Indictment of McChump What did we see yesterday that was so much different than the other games? If anything he called a better game last night. Now heading into when it matters most, against our hardest stretch he put so much of task ahead of us that it is damn near impossible to recover. This is poor management. The writing didn't just appear to fire him - it should have been done weeks ago if it was potential.

I've had the same take since 13 seconds. That was like his 3rd strike to me.

Have you seen anyone with the balls to do that to Josh? Did you not see giants/bills post game? Josh loves him.

Getting ahead of potential.

The year prior, yes. He's another example of mismanagement by McDermott. Also surprised McCoy hasn't weighed much in on the phone process.

It makes sense because this is directly from OBD through not just a single entity.

With the Bills as an OC it was just different

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.
