of course, i understand it's not easy to recognize how great i am.
i just know it did.
the players want to win regardless of who the coach is but when is the last time this team had an identity? even the defense? these guys are institutionalized to the system of the nfl and those who are not we often hear rumors about them being unhappy (hughes, and diggs notably).
hughes, mckenzie, diggs, feleciano, poyer, wallace, a few others
offense v. defense.
When Daboll left and Dorsey came on, our identity went away. What’s the different variable here? -

alright, well you're new to me... and post count doesn't mean as much as post content.
and of course you haven't heard it. the media in buffalo won't touch it and it's sad. but you can believe it or not - but it's what happened. the players had to be pulled away from each other.
your question fo if they hated mcd and why they won the next season? uhh, players like to win and we have good players.
i could easily argue that the victories we have are because of the players more than anything else, especially miami this year.
Sorry, I didn’t know I was in the presence of the forum god. Us nobodies will be more respectful next time.
How do you know it’s what happened? Where are you getting it from? I don’t disagree that the sports media around here kind of sucks, but someone like Tim Graham would have gotten it.
So they hated McD enough to listen to him and have another season with double digit wins? Did they just go rogue?

I don't know how people cannot see that he has already lost the team. IMO he lost a good majority after the 13 second game. Everything has continued to unravel since. The dejected look on Josh's face when Diggs was allegedly screaming at him has never left. I am certain Josh is more frustrated than anyone on the team. He can't just go rogue and call his own plays. I'm relatively certain that Diggs issue during OTAs was his displeasure with the way the offense was being run, but I think Josh convinced him they could make it work. Get your popcorn ready because I think Diggs will eventually speak his mind. Unfortunately, it's going to get a lot uglier. Book it.
You people don’t know what “lost the team” looks like -

i don't think mcdermott could handle a competent OC working for him. him firing dorsey - i don't trust mcdermott to work with a new guy.
sadly, the likelihood of keeping dorsey until midnext season falters or firing this offseason buys us 1 more year of mcdermott.
Yes, McD actively hates success and doesn’t want the team to win so he only hires OCs that suck.
Do you read what you post or what

you're new here so i'll be kind. i'll give you a few bullet points
there was a near mutiny in the locker room that escalated to the plane. players were not happy and blaming the defense for the let down. frazier was not calling the plays.
mcdermott said they would take a look at it and hold everyone accountable despite him telling the coverage team they're squibing but the kicker never finding out and kicking it deep. it was mcd who said to squib and no one told the kicker. he fired the ST coordinator.
daboll was concerned that mcdermott kept investing tons of resources and energy into defense and not getting the attention he needed. daboll knew what he had the potential for on offense and shawn was so busy help and covering for frazier that a rift was exposed.
further nothing was compatible - mcdermott and beane kept bringing in pieces that daboll didn't need and could not use - save for sanders, dorsey. daboll couldn't use a knickknack player like mckenzie, he wanted better ol, he had requests that went ignored.
I’ve been here years with 8000 posts, not sure where you’re getting new from.Theres zero evidence for any kind of “mutiny” beyond anecdotal evidence. I don’t buy it. Of course the players are going to be upset after a loss like that.
If they truly hated McD, why did we win the division again the next season?
1 hour ago, Mr. WEO said:Given his low football acumen, I understand your hesitation. My point was more that there is likely someone out there that would bring them forward, not backwards.
I bet it's not a binary choice as you put it.
You trust Pegula to hit again? I dont.5 hours ago, Buffalo Barbarian said:just the dumbest thing ive ever heard. After the game he said he needed to find out why we went away from up tempo, so that tells me he's covering for Dorsey now and is who is responsible for the bad game plans.
McDermott isnt getting fired so we need to get a new OC .
Side note #MattAraiza
yeah ... 😕😕
Why have no other teams signed Araiza if he’s so good?-

That stat about Hurts, Allen, and Mahomes having 3TDs and 8 ints against the Jets D is eye opening. Almost makes Herbert’s 86 yards passing look like he’s vintage Dan Fouts.
If Rogers isn't out, the Jets are easily 8-1.

If the current scheme and playcalling is holding the team back, like many of us believe, then bringing in anyone regardless of the learning curve would probably be a net positive.
Like replacing Lindy Ruff with Ron Rolston?

So tell me - why does he need to stay? Give us all a compelling from 13 seconds to now, why he should stay...
It's not just Dorsey with Allen twisted up. It really feels like McD is twisting it up as well
Because he's 71-44 (second best in Bills history), has won us 3 straight division titles after 17 years of nothing, has fourth stringers forcing big defensive stops, and dragged this team back from watching their teammate die on the field.
Half the league would love to have him.

I will root for McD to shove it in ungrateful Bills fans' faces, yes.

We have a mediocre Brandon Staley clone as the
HC, sorry DC, right now.Oof, this is a sign it's time to take a break.
I simply refuse to fire the coach with a 72-43 record and three-straight division titles because we're 5-4. It's madness.

Guess you would rather watch a 12-5 season (or worse) with all the wins coming over teams with losing records and never having a chance against real teams. That’s just purgatory.
I would rather watch a team with a chance to beat anyone than a team that we cover our eyes and hope they don't lose by 30.
Just now, Reed83HOF said:Listen Sean, I think you are a good guy and thank you for turning this team around. I have seen no growth in this team since 13 seconds and our offense is regressing. Very concerned with Diggs, complementary football, etc. you have zero answers...
You think you're funny or something?
Sorry I'm not just a standard knee-jerk Bills fan that wants a little nuance.

He should’ve been banned the moment the clock went to 0:00 in KC January 2022.
FIRE THIS MORON
If we fire him, I hope we make the Super Bowl and he beats us. I really do. We would 100% deserve it.

Not a McD fan and think he is at his ceiling, but this is a great point and very worrisome
It will be going from Lindy Ruff to Ron Rolston et al. I will bet you anything.

The reason they were terrible for so long was lack of a QB more than coaching. Marrone almost got them to the playoffs with Kyle Orton one step from retirement. With Josh, they wouldn't go back to the drought.
Great, then we can be the Philip Rivers Chargers! Yaaaay!
What a joke.

You’re saying because the bills have had some success under MCD, the next guy they replace can’t be better?
Eagles let go of a Super Bowl coach and got better. (Doug pederson to Siriani)
The last time the bills looked dominant under McDermott was September last year
Thats an eternity ago for nfl standards, especially when this roster has an elite QB
The Eagles have the most talented roster in the NFL. You could plug Chip Kelly in there and they'd still be having success.
17 minutes ago, boyst said:What has McDermott won?
2 playoff games, and 1 lucky win against an overrated (at the time) Jackson?
He lost the team at 13 seconds.
Oh he lost the team? Is that why we finished with double-digit wins the next season and won the division again?

Just now, Simon said:
Do you really want Terry Pegula making another coaching hire?
What are the odds that he is capable of hiring somebody that is an actual upgrade over McDermott?
THANK YOU -
What? He single-handedly saved a touchdown to Chase. Might have done it twice, actually.

Even if that proven winner has hit his ceiling and is falling back to the floor? Would you hang on to Billy if you were a Pats fan?
If he had an actual GM making personal decisions yes -

We’re about to finish 7-9. That’s a 6 game slide from last year. I don’t like 7-9. Do you like 7-9?
We might also finish 13-4. Who knows? That’s why you don’t do this bull#### unless it’s a Josh McDaniels situation.-

We’re 2 years late but it’s gotta be done. Hiring Dennison and then Frazier should’ve been huge red flags that these guys are totally lightweights.
Let’s salvage what’s left of Josh, if he will stay, which is doubtful.
He won’t and you can enjoy us trotting out some journeyman while we convince ourselves that ground n pound is gonna get us a ring.
Like I said, if we fire McD I hope to god he wins the Super Bowl the very next season.
2 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said:
Why would you conclude that McD is the only HC who could keep this team from “going back”?this should be good…
For every Siriani, there are a dozen mediocre pieces of garbage at head coach.
I refuse to fire a proven winner just to hire Joe Judge/Arthur Smith/Pat Schurmer/Freddie Kitchens…

Just now, HomeskillitMoorman said:
I'm willing to risk getting worse if it means we have the chance to get better. Which with an elite talent at QB, we absolutely do. I'm also wiling to take that risk when we know we will never win it all with this current head coach.
Im not. I’m not wasting more of Allen’s career gambling that some guy Kyle Shanahan breathed on once is gonna be some kind of offensive savior.-

That’s why Beane has to go too. The team isn’t built very well. You’re probably right about that.
Great! Blow it all up! Let’s waste MORE of Josh Allen! Hell, trade him and grab Crybaby the Clown outta USC!

What success? We made it to an AFC Championship 3 years ago and it's been downhill ever since, including the 13 seconds debacle. Do you believe things are getting better here?
Do you remember what it was like before him? You wanna go back? -
Just now, Carmel Corn said:
As I heard on a podcast somewhere, McD is the modern day version of Matty Schottenheimer and/or Chuck Knox. He will only get this team so far, but never to the very top.
Yeah I’ve heard the stupid Schottenheimer comparison a billion times.
You do not throw away the coach who turned this pathetic loser franchise around. Not unless there are MULTIPLE tank seasons.
Just now, Einstein said:Why do you feel no one else could have success with this roster?
I don’t see anyone out there who could be better. I really don’t. -
Just now, DCofNC said:
Who cares if you aren’t winning anything that matters?
Great, can’t wait to hire some mediocre Brandon Staley/Matt Nagy clone to appease the “offense only” crowd and watch us finish 7-10 every season.
If we fire McD I hope he wins five super bowls.

Yes because Bills fans are more reactionary than Iran.
There’s a reason no other team has touched him.
