This guy made more money off of one play where he was completely unblocked in college than any other player I can recall. He is, or at least was, not much more than a solid player.
Yeah, he was fairly solid in college, but it was that one hit that made his career.
The media replayed that hit on every station every 10 minutes, so it was no wonder his stock soared up the charts after that one.....he basically became a household name overnight.

I would certainly hope McD's feeling the pressure.......a top 5 D the past 5 years and can still barely win a playoff game.
"Trust the process".......if the process involves colossal collapses of his D in big games, then the "process" is working. No lead is ever safe, and heaven help us if a game goes down to the wire cause dollars to doughnuts, the odds are against us with penalties, piss poor clock management, etc.
We've been trusting the process for about 7 years now......when does it actually come to fruition?

I got lost driving through Jacksonville one time a few years back and wow, i saw some garbage, underbelly seedy sections of town.......told my wife to roll up the windows, lock the doors and don't make any eye contact with any of the filthy degenerates wandering around.
The whole place was just gross.
To this day, i still can't believe they would ever put a stadium and a football franchise anywhere near that **** hole.

He's a two sport All-Pro. I don't think $8M is too much.
The guy has barely seen the field in 2 years........i'd say 8mil is a little much

Working in professional sports is such a weird place to be. You get hired knowing you're going to get fired and there really isn't anything you can do to stop it.
Your success hinges on so many unpredictable factors, in this case, the performance of 53(ish) individuals that you're required to get to pull in one direction. More often than not, you're getting fired because of a metaphorical angry mob with torches and pitchforks upset with your performance. It can be justified, some other times it is not.
Fans view success as binary - "Win a Super Bowl" or "We Suck". Unfortunately, it's much more nuanced than that, but fans (short for fanatic: a person filled with excessive and single-minded zeal, especially for an extreme religious or political cause) have a hard time acknowledging all of the factors. Realistically, most fans have no clue what really goes into the operation - roster rules, salary cap, official rules, etc. They just look at everything through a very narrow-minded viewpoint of Super Bowl or Bust.
The point being made by Sean McDermott isn't some sort of deflection, it's acknowledging they've objectively had a tremendous amount of success throughout his tenure despite not being crowned Super Bowl Champions. That's because success in the NFL is more of a spectrum as opposed to 0s and 1s like @Ethan in Clevelandwould like to believe.
Yeah, these poor, poor coaches making millions of dollars a year getting fired and seemingly finding another coaching job the next day is very unfortunate.........my friggin heart bleeds for them.

You Bills fans that want Bill Belichick...really? The guy who just ruined his last QB by hiring an ex-DC to be his OC?
Whatever magic Ole Bill had lost when Tom Brady left NE. Bill told the Patriots owner that Tom Brady was no longer any good as a QB so he got rid of him for Mac Jones. Oh Yeah, didn't Brady win another Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Bucs?
Didn't the Patriots just fire Ole Bill for a 4-13 season...and you want to hire him for Buffalo? Shows me what the haters know about pro football.
Get a grip on reality! The second-most-winning NFL coach over the last five years is NOT mediocre!
Another reality is that the current Buffalo Bills owner isn't changing his HC anytime soon... no matter how much fans cry and whine.
........2nd best with nothing to show for it is the definition of mediocre, with a hint of inept.

I realize you hate the guy because he hasn't lived up to your expectations and yet being the second-most winningest NFL HC in the last five years isn't good enough for you. Defensive injuries? The ONLY HC better has been Andy Reid over the last five years who has never made a mistake in his life.
Sucks to be you!
I'm happy that you are satisfied with mediocre, however, i expect a little more, so.....

My point was that many of those superstar elite QBs eventually went to an SB and won only ONE SB. My point is that Aaron Rodgers an 11-time pro bowler, all pro-NFL league 4 times MVP played 18 seasons and only one SB. Oh Wait, he is still playing. Brett Favre played 16 seasons with many accolades while only winning ONE SB.
IT...IS...A...TEAM...SPORT! Andrew Luck was a generational talent and the best record he ever saw in his 7-year career was 11-5. Never sniffed an SB.
Bill Cowher? He was stuck with super scrubs at QB and still made the SB, didn't win one until he drafted Big Ben...and even then he needed the Bus to help him.
It is challenging to even get to an SB much less win one. Just ask Jim Kelly and Co, et al. Buffalo was very talented, and very lucky in the early 90's with that hurry-up offense and Bruce Smith, Biscuit rushing the passer. They had flaws, which is why they lost all four tho.
You need to understand that the very best team in the NFL and the very best HC has been in the Buffalo Bill's way these last four seasons. The ONLY team that has won more games in the entire NFL in the last 5 years than the Buffalo Bills has been the Kansas City Chiefs. 83-63 vs 82-58
https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/most-total-nfl-wins-last-5-years
Sean McDermott is not a scrub HC and in fact, has been one of the very best over the last 5 years. The only HC better has been the offensive genius Andy Reid.
Besides, it's not the HC's fault with so many defensive injuries these last few years. Losing the star defensive players like all-pro Matt Milano and Tre White and the team still finished #2 overall defensively in 2022! #6 in points allowed, #4 in yards allowed in 2023, yeah that's right, top 5 last season with McD calling the plays.
What lost that Buffalo, Chiefs playoff game in Buffalo was a missed FG...despite half the defense on crutches that game. The starting 3rd string LBer who they got off the street two weeks previous was forced to leave the game due to injuries... and because they had nobody else to play...he went back in.
Correct.......throw in a HC with piss poor clock management, plays not to lose, plays scared and a D that folds like a cheap suit and you're on the right track.

Here's how my brain envisions an onside kick......
Reminds me of lil Ralphy in the Simpsons....
"I heard your dad went into a restaurant and then he ate everything in the restaurant and then they had to close the restaurant".......we're going to do an onside kick, the refs and the other team knows there's an onside kick, so everybody prepares for an onside kick.
It's got excitement written all over it.......the suspense is killing me.
UGH

I think the pressure Mcd is feeling is that he consistently puts a good D on the field every year, however, it consistently fails every year......for a D minded HC, that has to be rough.
The D fails year after year, and he seemingly has very little answers.

You make sense. McDermott is better than Jauron ever was, no doubt.
I will however say this: Jauron, McDermott and yes Levy focused primarily on defensive backs. In 2006, we entered the draft with the #8 pick in rounds 1 and 2, and the nos. 5 and 8 in round 3. We came out of this great situation with S Donte Whitner, DT Josh McCargo, and S Ashton Youboty and to achieve this, Levy/Jauron traded away one of the 3rd rounders in a trade up for the inept McCargo. In the 4th round, these two Ivy League Grads drafted the famous Ko Simpson. You know, the one who asked his arresting police officers "Do you know who I am?"
In 2017, we all know how McDermott traded away the Mahomes pick and drafted a cornerback. At the time, our QB room consisted of Tyrod Taylor, Cardale Jones, and EJ Manuel. McD however did not fully neglect the QB position, whereas he did draft Nathan Peterman in round 5. 😯
I think that it is very safe to say that history tells us that McDermott tends to focus more on defense than he does on offense. Despite all this. I do however agree that McDermott is superior to Jauron. I guess that it becomes a question of how much better. Even Jauron, however painfully awful he was, didn't have Josh Allen, and McDermott does. I hope that his GREAT talent gets us a Super Bowl.
And yet, how many times can you focus on the D and just have it completely collapse year in and year out?
No lead is safe with this team, as we've seen countless times. I know everybody likes to praise him cause he helped get us out of 18 years with no playoffs, but when does the accountability start? He has only proven that he can get us into the playoffs, nothing more.
I am starting to agree with some posters on here that we should have a high-flying caliber O and throw up as much points as possible and let the D fend for themselves.

But you don't win playoff games on the road with 16 points, especially not when you turn it over. The entire team was very good first half and bad second half.
The O didn't play well in the 2nd half that's true, however, even with mistakes they played well enough to win. The D had another one of its monumental collapses.
Like come on, it's not like the Texans were a powerhouse. Our D was ranked in the top 5 that year and held Houston to zero points in the first half. Then the 2nd half comes along with zero adjustments (which McD never does) and we're a sieve and giving up 19 straight points to lose the game.
How anyone could ever defend this clown is beyond me.

Haven’t had a chance to read the whole thread. Has anyone pointed out that back-to-back defending champ Andy Reid was also just quoted as saying “it’s hard to win in the NFL”? Is it time to just get over Dick Jauron saying a true statement that no one wants to hear during a mediocre stretch of football, or should the Chiefs be looking to move on from Reid?
Well, when a HOF multiple SB winning HC says it, then it sounds believable, acceptable and meaningful.
When McClappy says it, he sounds like a whiny little *****, with zero answers and trying to show some self-justification to the media and why he should keep his job.

I like the look of our O......i think who we've got on the roster so far is manageable, however, we still need a few pieces, like WR, depth RB, blah, blah, blah.
What really terrifies me is our D......falls apart and collapses in big moments and i don't see much in the way of improvement so far.

I don't think the offense played well enough to win at Houston. It threw up on itself second half of that game, turned the ball over and opened the door for Houston. It did play well enough vs Minnesota.... but the defense had stopped them and the game was done if Mitch and Josh could execute a snap.
Did the O play perfect against the Texans?.......no, but they still had the team up by 16 points at the half.
Watch the game again and you'll see the monumental collapse of the D in the 2nd half. It was totally and utterly disgusting. All the D had to do was hold on to the lead......just stop something, which they couldn't.......which is what Bills fans expect every time the D takes the field.

The guy always played well against us........we pick him up and.......nothing to write home about.
I think it was just another case of being mis-used, mis-managed or age/injury catching up with him.
Enjoy your retirement.

All i know is that the NFL Network has been running continuous "classic" games lately and unfortunately, our Bills have been the brunt of some real turd burners.
* 13 seconds.........ugh
* the collapse against the Texans in our divisional round a few years back.......up 16 points at the half and then a total meltdown in the 2nd.
* the collapse against the Vikings........giving up 4th and 18 to JJ and losing the game miserably.
* Hail Murray
.......just to name a few.
In every one of these games, it was the D that lost the games. The O played just well enough to win, however, the D had a meltdown every time and gave up the ghost. As fans, it's disgusting to watch the collapse because we all know that no lead is safe with this HC.
For a Defensive HC that prides himself on being current and "on the ball", he has a lot to prove this season. Is he on the "hot seat"?.....no, but he should be.......he definitely should be.

The only player i would throw draft picks on is MHJ......if that's out of the realm of possibility, then you just let it go and let the draft come to you.

The unsexy, unexciting first round pick
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
You know, for years i've always just wanted the big "splash" player in the drafts, but i saw an interview with The Hoodie a couple of years back and it completely changed my mindset.
I can't remember the interview word for word, but it was basically about how a good OLineman can anchor the trenches for years, help protect the QB (arguably a teams biggest asset)....they are for the most part fairly cheap at re-negotiating contracts, no divas involved and can play the position for a long time.
The interview actually made a lot of sense to me and completely changed my whole mindset.
