I wanted McDermott gone and I'm happy he is. Couldn't take one more year of him. From him trying to make Josh Allen a game manager, to his bend but don't break defence, to his defence who folds every playoffs. Not to say he's a bad coach, but his time has expired here and he's not the right coach for Josh Allen

Beane definitely had to be frustrated with McDermott. Look no further than Poona ford and Tim Settle. Those guys barely got a game day jersey when they were here , and now they are both meaningful pieces to good defences. It is clear Beane felt like McDermott didn't maximize the talent, especially on the defensive side. In which I would agree with him

I personally don't think that says that at all, respectfully. Beane picked the players. But I strongly Believe he picked the players and used a lot of resources to fit/help Sean's flawed, under size defensive scheme. And it makes sense if you put the pieces to the puzzle together

Well said. I am one of the few who said I would rather keep Beane than Mcdermott as well. I honestly think Beane was a bit handcuffed with some of his draft picks and even roster moves and we can read between the lines here. 1. McDermott wanted penetrating style D lineman, culture guys, and smaller linebackers for his scheme. There is a laundry list of players the bills drafted that fit that Bill 2. He wanted balance on offence and overcompensated- This is why it is a bit hard to judge Joe brady. Is Brady really that run heavy and vanilla on offence at times, or is Mcdermott the one micromanaging that? I think it is the latter. Beane def has his faults. But I am looking forward to seeing what he does with a clean slate now without Mcdermott (highly likely) influencing personnel moves.

People love to bring that up which is fair, but also never bring up that the Bills were 6-10 in 2018. So McDermott is 15-17 in 2017 and 2018 combined, without Josh and before Josh became Josh. Got to state both sides if we are being fair here

I wouldn't hate Dabs here even though he definitely has some red flags. One thing is for sure if he was the coach- We wouldn’t be running it 30x per game, and we would be prioritizing the wide receiver room

This is what I've been saying all year long to the McDermott apologists who blamed Beane for the lack of talent on defence. Beane picks the "type" of players that Sean wants

"Pre Josh Allen" I think you mean. Unless tyrod Taylor or Kyle Orton are starting for us next year, I'm not concerned at all

4 seasons too late but this is amazing news .

Yep. It's never his "fault". He throws his safety, savage under the bus at half time, and then it's the refs fault for the loss. I have never heard him take accountability after a loss and say things like , "this was my fault ". Look no further than Josh Allen being the prime example of a leader taking accountability

Awful play calling by Ben Johnson there

Yep. I hope the people who have trashed Josh, have watched the games today. The two mvps in Maye and Stafford have been awful. One won by double digits, and one is in a 10-10 going into the 4th Josh can never get bailed out by his defence

Didn't Rousseau sack Lawrence last game? That 2 yard loss lol. But ya the point stands. The D line always folds in the playoffs Edit: Just saw it was from a post season "loss"

Yep. The best example we can look at is the Pats game today. Maye fumbled what, 4 times? (Lost two) But pats win by double digits because their defence bailed him out. Josh can't even afford to have a "good" game for the bills to win in the playoffs. He has to be great. Such an unrealistic expectation, as at some point to win a Super Bowl, you are gonna have to win a game where you hold the opponent under 21 points.

Yep. And the McDermott fans will just blame it all on Beane saying he has no talent to work with. At the end of the day it's McDermotts scheme. He wants smaller, penetrating style of players. And every year we get gashed in the run game.
