    What Do You Want To See the Rest of the Year?

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted · Edited by Fadingpain

    By far the best thing that can happen is for Allen to come back immediately, remain healthy, and start the rest of the season.

     

    It doesn't matter if he sinks or swims, either will be progress towards our future.

     

    It's pretty much all that can be salvaged from a lost campaign.

     

    EDIT: And oh yeah, I forgot to mention, lose out.

     

    My Answer to a Question Murph asked P. King “Is Buffalo missing something with approach to Offense?”

    Going to read some names

     

    Wade Phillips

    Greg Williams

    Dick Jauron

    Rex Ryan

    Sean McDermott

     

    Defense, Defense, Defense.  ALL Defensive Minded/Philosophical coaches whose approach permeates from the top bottom.

     

    now the other two Head Coaches? 

     

    Doug Marrone, a Offensive Sided Coach, but who is almost just as conservative and Defensive Minded as any Defensive Coordiantor in the league.  I mean...Coach Marrone was quoted as saying he NEVER WANTED TO THROW.

     

    That only leaves Chan Gailey as being the only true Offensive Minded Head Coach to have control in Buffalo.  And while Chan did have some things he was far from progressive or innovative and really was Used Goods.

     

    and Mike Mularkey who frankly i just recalled because another poster pointed it out.  If I try all I recall was McGahee running the bills to the 9-7 record.

     

    1 of 2 things will happen.

    1.) Allen will be good and his abilities will mask all of McDermott’s conversativeness.

     

    2.) Allen wont be good and he and McDermott will be removed.

     

    IF that happens, we need to hope/plead that the Pegulas will finally identify a YOUNG, PROGRESSIVE, INOVATING OFFENSIVE MINDED HEAD COACH.

    I am on board with McBeane's immediate dismissal, as that will save us time in the long run.

     

    It would also be great if Pegula ordered them to take a QB with our coming high first round pick for when Allen busts.  That will save us some time too at least in terms of having a backup shot at QB.  Doesn't mean the newly drafted QB will be any better but gotta keep taking QBs until we have one.

     

    This whole thing is on pace to end at the end of next season, then more regime change, then more personnel change to make the new HC happy, etc.  

     

    I'm just trying to save some time here. 

     

    And YES, I would ONLY consider young, offensive minded HC candidates.  Not because that is totally necessary, but b/c I think it gives an advantage and creates the greatest chance for success.

     

     

    Peterman actually played quite well!

    He is right.

     

    1) Bears have top 5 defense.

    2) Peterman has only started 4 games.

    3) His stats were in line with a long time veteran like Anderson in his two games.

    4) His line and receivers did not show up.

    5) There was no running game.

     

    Is Peterman an NFL starting QB. No. Is he a more than adequate backup. Absolutely.

    How is it you know Nate is not starting material but Josh Allen is our long awaited franchise QB?


    Both have played about the same number of games and both have looked about the same, with the caveat that Allen has had a few more nice runs escaping the pocket.

     

     

     

     

    And more piling on.....

    You mean the same HC that gave this franchise it's first playoff birth in nearly two decades just last year???

     

    And yes, they needed help, but when it's every other team in the NFL who makes it into the playoffs - via Wildcard - they're not torn down the same way this fan base does it with the Bills. Fact is, they still needed to win games to put themselves in a position to be in the playoffs, external help be damned. 

     

    And for those who presume a rebuild occurs in two years is either 1. 10 years old 2. older, but similar maturity.

    *berth*

    This season has been depressing. Possible the worst I have ever seen. Anyone remember a season that has been worse recently? 

    My memory immediately goes back to the '80s.

     

    Before that, many of the OJ teams were abortions as well.

     

    This is as bad as it's been in a really long time.

     

    All part of the plan, I hear.

    Here is the thing thought:  People need to stop comparing McD to Fox or Fisher.  They got fired for being bad HC's.  Fisher has the most losses in NFL history for instance.  

     

    There is fairy tale going on amongst this board that suddenly feels this false narrative that a HC with defensive backgrounds cant be good NFL HC's...all the while Belicheck has dominated the NFL and this division for almost 20 years as a defensive minded HC.  

    That's not what's going around at all.

     

    What's going around is that this is now an offense-driven game and teams with an innovative offensive minded coach are likely to be the most competitive, or maybe even enjoy an advantage going forward.

     

    But the Bills have a defensive minded HC who has already shown to my satisfaction that he has no understanding of the offensive side of the ball whatsoever.  

     

    McD is "3 yards and a cloud of dust" guy.  That's not going to work in today's game.

    These pressers are gold.  He comes off as the most vacuous "tough-guy" empty cliche-spouting hand-clapper possible.   

     

    McD wants us to RUN AND STOP THE RUN.  Broad shoulders! Football tough! Character guys! It's Buffalo  you know ... "blue collar" (?!) ... and ... weathery (!?) or such. 

     

    WTF

     

     

    If you listen to him speak, McDermott will tell you, very clearly, that he is 100% an old school football guy.  Rex Ryan was the same.  Those guys are all the same.  The league left them behind a long time ago.

     

    The people who are winning now, and who are going to do the winning in the future, are playing a different sport to the one McDermott thinks he knows something about.

     

    "Control the line of scrimmage!  Tough physical football!  Establish the run game!"

    The only thing that brings good offense is a good QB who can see the field and make the throw.  All our problems go away with good Qb play.

     

    That's not exactly true, though we need a QB and currently don't have one on the roster.

    9 games in 1.5 seasons getting blown out by 19+ points.  That’s alarmingly bad. 

     

    Yes it is.

    McDermott is Dick Jauron 2.0. 

     

    His philosophy on how to win football games has zero similarities with any of the top coaches in the NFL.

     

    We need to get rid of this guy asap.

     

    I genuinely think they thought this team would be better than they were last year with "his guys" and the result is the worst offense the NFL has seen in at least 20 years. 

     

    You can't field such an abysmal offense in 2018 and keep your job. You just can't. 

     

    I know just what you mean, but the sad reality is that you can!  At least in Buffalo.  I'm not totally sure Pegula knows what he's looking at and I've said many times he is the lowest information sports fan you will find.

    I guarantee if you're sitting in a room talking candidly with the Pegulas, they Did not expect to be THIS BAD.  This is an embarrassment and hurts the Bills brand.  

     

    I think this is probably right.  Our only hope for getting McD fired this year is if Pegula feels embarrassed.  Without that, he will stay.  I think this is worse than he thought, but perhaps not to the level of embarrassment.

    This is just not true.

     

    Numerous people on this board expected the offense to be better this year than they were a season ago.

     

    Lots of people claimed "it couldn't get any worse." Boy, were they wrong. 

     

    I genuinely think that McDermott and Beane thought this team would be better than last year. 

     

    I think they thought they'd have better play calling, I think they thought Tyrod was really holding them back, I think they thought Benjamin and Jones would take a big step forward, that the OL would gel, and that McCoy would return to form.

     

    Literally everything they've done on the offensive side of the ball for the past 2 years hasn't worked. These guys have no idea what they're doing on that side of the football. 

     

    Yes, there is a lot of revisionist history going on here now. It's not that hard to dig up the preseason prediction threads.  The majority of this board are kool aid drinking optimists disconnected from reality.  They were not predicting the worst offensive team in the modern history of the game.

    So can someone that defends McD please tell me the point of. Down 28-0. (4 scores) 

     

    Bills have the ball 4th and 6 on the Bears 23 yard line what the Point is Kicking a FG there to go down by you guessed it 4 scores?? 

     

    Please Defend that Spineless decision. 

     

    This is key.   You know why they did that?  B/C McDermott is a meathead "football guy" and he was likely thinking "We need to get on the board; we need to score something and get the momentum going" as though that helps.  He's not thinking through the big picture or analyzing it from a numbers perspective b/c that's not how his brain works.

    Bills fans prior to the season were predicting 10 wins and another playoff appearance.

     

    Those same fans are now saying this season was always going to be lost and the results shouldn’t surprise anyone.

     

    You got that right!  That's how this place works.  Most folks here are followers by nature and exhibit a herd mentality; they like to run with the pack and derive comfort from knowing others around them think the same way they do.  On top of that, they are disconnected from reality and greatly overvalue the quality of the Bills organization, no matter who is running it or who is on the team.

     

    They are precisely the same people who defended Doug Whaley when I was pointing out what a joke he was as GM....and they are also the same people who NOW routinely joke about how bad Whaley was.  The goalposts keep moving.  They don't view things objectively; their goal is to simply defend the team/organization at all costs.  

     

    They are also the same people who LOVED the Rex Ryan hire.  "He brings us relevancy!" they said.  "He's a big name coach known around the country!" and so on.  Now they all joke what a train wreck he was, now that he is no longer the coach.

    Really?  

     

    Just can not start him........  

     

    Earlier one person called and explained the 26 points Peterman should have put up yesterday.  

     

    He was bad yesterday, but that was his best game as a Bill.  

     

    A lot of people here don't seem to understand that Murph and Tasker are paid by the Bills to represent the team in a positive light and in fact, function as an arm of the Bills PR department.

     

    Do you expect them to tell the truth?  

     

    Peterman is a joke, he would find employment on no other roster in the league, and the fact that he is still playing for the Bills is an embarrassment.

     

    There's the truth.  You probably won't hear Murph comment on that though.

     

     

     

     

    Josh Allen is all that matters

    The Bills offense has proven itself to be among the NFL's worst.  I'm not sure how some on here could think a raw rookie quarterback could step right in and save it all.   I'm not happy about Josh Allen's injury but I am happy he's been able to sit a few games and watch now.  I hope he comes back after the bye and things get better  but can't expect miracles with this offense. 

    What in the world do you think he is learning about playing QB in the NFL as he stands on the sideline and watches?


    Especially with the likes of Anderson and Nate playing QB?

     

    He will learn by playing and only by playing.  Hopefully he can come back soon.

    I drink 2 mugs of black coffee every morning as a ritual to help wake up, but do not drink coffee at any other time or under any other circumstance.  

     

    Don't drink it after dinner at a nice restaurant or that type of thing.

     

    Don't drink it in the afternoon to help sharpen up.

     

    I'm not sure if this makes me a psychopath.

    Not a huge fan of Starbucks....usually too bitter for me.  I love the idea of using a french press, and I own one, but I've never had much luck.  Usually it comes out like light brown dish water. 

    I religiously only buy Starbucks as it's one of the highest quality readily available brands you can get.  You can get it for about $6.99 a sack or a bit cheaper if you buy the right store and/or wait for sales and then buy a bunch.

     

    But I hear you in terms of not liking it.  It seems to be kind of divisive.  It is a very strong roast and lots of folks just don't like that.  

     

    I love it.
