Not just had to step in. But an instant, measurable, and major improvement. Which means that the current status is so so so below acceptable. To answer the question of the thread, McD is the HC, he's the CEO of all things on the field. The CEO can't be jumping in and doing the CFO's job all the time just because he cut his teeth in finance.

The Cincinnati Bengals have entered the chat.

Good inventory. The only real correction I'd make is that I don't think Bishop has been average. I think he's been below. Benford has been very bad. I have to assume that the people claiming how useless Tre is see the 7 on Benfords jersey and just assume it's 27 and they're lumping all the bad play from both on one guy.

I swear my browser says twbillsdrive.com. But it keeps bringing me to BBMB.

Oh man, we are at peak drought era. Did you hear something from the busboy at Tempo?

Tre's poor play is drastically exageratted. Has he had 2 bad games? Yes. Has he had 6 bad games? No, lol. People are just parroting it at this point. He is the 2nd outside DB. He has largely been somewhere between "meh" and "fine" across 6 games. But people talk like he is just targeted on every single throw and responsible for our pass defense. Benford has been taken advantage of and he is our number 1 outside corner who we just paid. He has been glaringly bad compared to his expectations, pay, and role. Benford - 32 targets, 21 completions, 198 yards, 0 passes defended - 4 TD White- 20 targets, 14 completions, 113 yards, 3 passes defended - 1 TD I don't think either DB can count on consistant help from the safeties. Loads of people are out of position.

I agree.

It should be Kevyn Adams and it should have been done at least 365 days ago. My money is on Terry running it back with all 3. (I spared Lindy on this list, because his contract is up anyways. He isn't coaching anybody in 26-27. He would just be a scapegoat)

A lot of things happening, but the whole thing feels kerfuffled at the moment. There are too many times where Allen scrambles, runs to the LOS where there is nothing but green grass, resets, and heaves a BS, low percentage ball into oblivion on 2nd and 10 instead of picking up 7 yards with his legs and leaving us with 3rd and easy. On top of also being late, he has also looked right at open underneath routes only to launch low percentage throws down field. That isn't to say he isn't playing superman. He certainly is at times. Allen doesn't seem to have a great feel for anything at the moment, the offense feels broken.

Random thought this AM... What will the new stadium address be? 2 Bills Drive? And if it is 2BD, will @SDS have to change the website to 3 Bills Drive? These are the things I think about folks.

This is a feature and a bug. It allows them to be a 2-1 vote against Pegula. You know, the guy who told Brendan Shanahan that he doesn't need a PoHO because they already have one. (himself) Changing the power structure at OBD comes with some risk. It seems like Pegula's hand might be forced. But on the other hand the guy has still yet to fire Kevyn Adams. So who knows.

So be it. But firing McD and sparing Beane is futile.

I think drafting is a much bigger issue than coaching. I would prefer to start with a GM who isn't so close to McD and the guys on the roster. Distance from your lead administrator is sometimes necessary to make the right decision. I have no faith in Pegula to tear this thing down and rebuild it. ZERO. Keep the coach, hire a new talent evaluator.

Lolololololololololol. Go watch the Sabres...actually don't.

I think we have a Beane issue more than a McDermott issue. I have faith McDermott is still a good coach, he's proving to be one of the winniningest without a SB. It is time for a GM to sit above the HC and not be in the mud with them. It was great to get this franchise to wear it is now. I think Beane is too close to the roster, staff, etc, paired with meh drafting, has really sunk this team.
