Great. Since we know this already, no reason we should see you post again til 2024

After some thought. I don’t see any of them being let go. And it’s as easy as: Beane won’t ever choose to fire Mcdermott. McDermott will never choose to fire Frazier. He respects him too much and Frazier coaches D the way McD wants his D to play. McDermott won’t fire a rookie OC. He’ll give him another chance. Terry and Kim trust these two. They’ve heard the horror stories of franchise past and they’re afraid to make such a move at this stage of the process. jmo

Could be a good hire. I don’t know enough about him.

He should be drafting another DE in the first 5 rounds. Maybe not one or two…..but if a top DE slips, maybe. bottom line- while Beane has wasted some big time picks on some bum DEs, the need to get pressure on the QB will always exist. Or do we surrender and just give in to having a crappy pass rush? am I joking about what? That our pass rush was crap? That our pass rushers were crap? What did I say in the last post that was 💯 true?

AJ is terrible. Basham is a jag. Lawson is a jag. Rousseau looked special to me most of the season then hit a wall. Maybe he was just benefiting from rushing opposite Von. We had very little talent rushing the passer yesterday. Jones and Ed were our chance, but jones being out ruined our chances to win up front. Do you think AJ, Basham and Lawson would be excelling for other teams? We already saw what Shaq was outside of Buffalo. He’s only had success here. Beane failed by drafting those 2 bums in rd 2.

I think he should too. I just think there’s a good chance Denver is gonna way overpay and present him with an offer he can’t refuse. Maybe he’ll stand his ground. He’ll likely have his choice of Josh Allen and Justin Herbert next year

Who do you want to replace him with? That’s the key. If you’re going to move on, you better have a better plan. Firing mcdermott on its own, is a terrible idea. Firing McD while having a viable successor in mind, I’m ok with. for the record. I’m a mcdermott fan. I think he deserves another year….but I’d be happy if we traded for Payton. If you’re going to fire him and roll the dice on someone, he seems like a good place to start. Not sure how many, if any, other coaching candidates I’d prefer over McD right now.

So you think he’ll wait til next year? Or would rather take a different team? What other teams do you think he’ll be interested in? Carolina is the only team (with a current vacancy) that makes any sense to me and their biggest draw is that they play is a crap division. if I were him, I think I’d wait it out - unless Buffalo or Dallas comes a knocking.

Where do you think he’ll end up? They have more money than anyone and they are desperate. I think they’ll match anyone offer + 5M. Thats my thought process.

I hear ya. We aren’t cutting the check but the check is an obstacle. As is the draft pick. As is their love for McDermott. As is Beanes love for McDermott. I’m just speaking the reality of the situation. If we make it happen, I’m all for it. I just don’t think it has much of a chance (if any) of happening. I think he’ll end up in Denver making 25M a year

I have hope too….. but that doesn’t mean we can go into next season with Brown as our starting RT. That would be a major mistake imo. As was starting him yesterday. I think Quessenberry was better than Brown this season.

Sorry, sarcasm detector is turned off this morning. yes, I think he deserves another year. If he’s fired, so be it. Let’s hope we don’t screw it up. I’m just not a huge fan of the candidates. Payton makes sense….but we’ll have to give up a 1st rd pick and likely pay him 20M a year.

💯 the thing is, does McD have it in him to fire Dorsey after his rookie OC season? I don’t think he will.

because I think McD is a great leader of men and he should focus on leading the being the HC. Hire 2 coordinators capable of devising their own game plans.

I’d be happy if Frazier and Dorsey were fired if we hired Fangio and Reich. I’d be pissed if we fired Frazier and Dorsey and hired Donatell and HACKett. I think both can be upgraded. The question is, who do we upgrade with. Don’t fire them unless we have suitable replacements in mind. I think McD deserves another year. I think Beane deserves another year at least.

i don’t think that’s the only way it works. it would’ve worked if he didn’t suck and we would’ve won the Super Bowl. If he didn’t suck, we may have kept him next year. Turns out, he sucked and we didn’t win the SB and we can’t bring him back next year. it didn’t work doubly because, as you said, they didn’t do enough to get guys in here to learn the system. Maybe they thought Ike had a chance? Idk….. but what they did regarding the OL failed and it was under a microscope because the key investments on D this past offseason didn’t even play yesterday and those that did were meh.

They overrated Saffold. They thought they were getting a one year fix @ LG. They thought wrong. Brown was drafted to be our RT. He’s 6’8 and has back problems. They were hoping he’d be a solid RT. They were wrong. Bates looked to be an emerging starter. We retained him. He was below average. Morse and Dawkins are solid starters. Neither are great. 2 poor players- 1 below average player and 2 solid starters + a rookie OC that doesn’t really seem to have a plan = going home early. so now what? Get a legit LG and RT. Let brown be our swing tackle. Might have to replace Morse too. Beane has his work cut out for him. Drafting OL doesn’t seem to be something our FO does well and we don’t have much $ until we start mortgaging the future.

It looked as if this was part of our problem yesterday.

This is big and could be key in retaining McD. Is he willing to give up some control of the D and focus more on being the HC. But that doesn’t really come into play unless the powers that rule him put him in position to make that decision. I don’t think they will. I feel they will keep the coaches they have and give it one last chance. If we don’t win next year, we’ll blow it up. Personally, that’s not what I want. I want Frazier gone. I’d be happy if Dorsey were fired but understand if they want to keep him. He’s still learning how to be an OC, which is even more difficult when you’re favored to win the Super Bowl. He failed us yesterday and I do think Josh has regressed (mentally) under his tutelage. I love his gunslinger mentality but he needs to know when to take the easy play and when to take the shot. His decision making has regressed…..not so much his play. That’s the question. We’ll find out soon

That’s the tipster we all know and love!! Welcome back!!

A guy doesn’t have to be Chris Jones in order to be severely missed. Jones was one of the most consistent performers on our team all season. He was sorely missed yesterday. Losing complimentary prices can have a negative impact on the sum. It did yesterday. I don’t think there’s any doubt about it. that said- simms is right about the offense. Beck Water is also right about Jones (and losing von).

Tell us that you don’t know much about a player without telling us you don’t know much about him. The bolded does just that. Cook has done the majority of his damage up the middle. 👍🏻

I’d keep McD Fire Frazier and Dorsey. Hire Fangio @ DC Hire Reich @ OC Yes, I realize that will never happen. Ben Johnson is intriguing. I don’t know anything about the guy other than he called a great offense this year behind one of the best OLs in the league. Can he lead a team? Or is he Norv Turner v230584.0

The gas tank was empty. The whole team was running on fumes. Especially 17. He had nothing left to give

It’s crazy how our opponents can completely take him out of the game and we have no answer. the last 3 season ending losses, Diggs was made a non factor. Daboll made the chiefs pay last year because Davis and Allen were unconscious. Dorsey had no answer. I thought the game was over when Davis dropped yet another pats that hit him perfectly in stride. You’re a good kid and I’m sure you’ll be in the gym today working your tail off for next season….. but you should be coming off the bench next year. May have been his worst game as a Bill
