    The overreaction toward McDermott from the media is why football coaches are so conservative

    The odd crucifixion of Sean McDermott by the media simply because he decided to try something different by seeing if a rookie QB could spark the offense is strange to me...but far from surprising. 

     

    I'm always on football coaches (especially in the NFL) for being too conservative. I call most of them gutless meatheads because they ignore analytics when they punt on 4th and 2 from the opponent's 39 yard line.

     

    But it's obvious why they are the way they are.

     

    Because football coaches are much more likely to be ridiculed when they go for it and don't convert than they are when they punt.

     

    Coaches who take risks put themselves out there. And are blasted when that risk doesn't work out. Meanwhile, the coaches who never take risks are able to skate by with little attention. Sure, they'll rarely succeed...but they at least keep their jobs and collect a paycheck for a while before getting fired.

     

    And I'm sick of people treating the quarterback position like something sacred. As if replacing the starting QB for a game (or even just a half) is some sort of travesty like the coach is destroying the sanctity of football by doing it. It's one position. If the QB plays poorly then the next guy should be given a chance. Who cares?

     

    Say what you want about McDermott - but I applaud him for his willingness to try something to turn around an anemic offense. It didn't work and it was wrong.

     

    McDermott went for it and the conversion failed.

    I appreciate the point you are making but think it misses the mark in this situation.

     

    Peterman is so bad that you can't equate throwing him in there to going for it on 4th and 2. After seeing how completely inept and unprepared Peterman is the equivalent scenario would be going for it on 4th and 50 from your own goal line in a game that you are winning.

     

    The result of that decision is epic...the Bills regain their standing as the joke of all pro sports, our 1st year head coach undoubtedly lost the team, Peterman is probably ruined and the fan base is disgusted.

     

    If McD thought Peterman was prepared for an NFL start, what does that say about the man who has been given more power than any coach in recent memory? Let me answer that....he is clueless.

     

    Same old Bills.

    Mcdermott and his crew are no different than Rex

    Would giving Sean more than 10 games be too much to ask or 

    Unfortunately McD will get another season, maybe two, based solely on the perception factor.

     

    But McD lost the locker room this week, and most of the fan base too. This misstep is so huge that I don't see him ever recovering, and I am not trying to be dramatic. Benching a respected leader and QB who has you in a playoff spot for a rookie that comes out with the worst performance EVER (in the merged league) is a fireable offense.

    Fire McDermott and Brandon Beane

    The Bills can't fire McD and Beane...they would look like more of a joke than they already do, which at this point is pretty !@#$ing hard to do.

     

    But 10 games into the tenure and I already have seen all I need to....these guys are in way over their heads. The D is pathetic, and that is supposed to be McD's strong suit. Hiring Dennison to run a WCO with his stupid zone blocking scheme should be a fireable offense.

    So what went wrong today?

    The coaching staff is pathetic...

     

    How could the coaches expect a different result with that brutal O-line? I tried to get behind the move but it just made no sense to me with this team still fighting for a playoff spot. If there were a few hold outs on this team that hadn't quit on McD, I think it is safe to say they have seen the light.

    Nathan Peterman: "I didn't play very well. When those things start happening, I've got to let it go." Peterman says he needs to "trust in God" and "trust in a higher power."

    Peterman playing the "God" card...

     

    Well let me play the Zeppelin card, "crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good."

    Who starts next week: Taylor or Peterman?

    I am racking my brain to remember a QB who performed worse in any game let alone in his first start. 38 years of watching the NFL, CFL, NCAA, USFL, XFL whatever and I cant think of one that comes close.  What a debacle.

    Schopp mentioned it in passing...but he said it was the worst QB performance since the merger, for all QBs...not just rookies.

     

    That is crazy to think about, and has to worry everybody with respect to McD's thought process.

    I thought last game was rock bottom...

     

    Leaving the stadium early in the 3rd quarter with thousands of other depressed fans after that 5-2 start was a pretty low moment. This game is worse. This game has me questioning McD and the entire regime. I think the new boss is the same as the old boss... Which means another 2-3 years of garbage before we get to try again.
