Oh he'll get next season at least but when your players quit like they did the past two weeks that is hard to recover from.
The Saints are a better team but his was a total tank job by the team.............that Brees run for a TD took a truly special kinda' quit.
The problem I see it is that the process has been all about satisfying McD's want for a comfy, low-maintenance locker room...........but being a good HC is not about being comfortable it's about being able to manage talent and make it work for you.
I just think he's trying to play with a really old team and halfway through the season they are tired. A lot of players don't fit the schemes and that's not his fault he inherited those players from past regimes.

At this point I would have just preferred a terrible 3-13 type of campaign then winning 6 or 7 games if anything because of squandering draft position.
In any event there is only so many of these type of seasons a fan can take in terms of peaking by midseason followed by an epic collapse and meltdown.
Either way I'm not handing McD any coach of the year awards for overachieving early with a trash roster and QB. Because if he thinks this is part of the process he'll be in for a rude awakening next year when we truly purge the roster and enter a full blown rebuild.
I don't think tanking will help build a culture. At least try to win and stay somewhat close. I don't wanna go down the Cleveland route and completely suck. At least they have kept the fans interested through what is clearly a rebuilding year.

I can completely blame Dennison, because if he's trying to play the system you describe with Taylor as QB, he's a moron.
Taylor does not make quick decisions and is not accurate. He's an option guy, makes plays outside the pocket, and makes plays over the top (well he used to do this).
The Bills first drive was a good match of Taylor's ability to scheme. The rest of the game, Dennison nailed Taylor in the pocket and it was a total failure.
If McDermott wants to keep Taylor is the starter, Dennison is going to have to change his play calling. The goal should be to get Taylor 60 yards rushing, and the scheme should be built off of that. Expecting Taylor to play from the pocket is suicide.
That's why a lot of people think they will replace Tyrod soon, maybe Tyrod isn't the match for the scheme that they are looking for. I don't think they really want to change schemes for players, they want players to fit the schemes. He seems to not fit.

Today loss was not on Tyrod alone and the Team has many needs, but this year is the year to take a QB. Tyrod is not the worst QB and can be good at times, but can the team dare to be great. This draft is the Bills chance a greatness, with two first rounders. Time to take a chance.
It will certainly be an interesting offseason that's for sure. It will be fun to see what they do. Lot's of action this offseason

This was one of the worst efforts by a Bills team during the drought............and coming off a really bad one the week earlier.
I don't think the Pegula's signed up for more embarrassment/quitting in front of the home folks........especially with all the talent McD dumped(and dead money eaten by Pegula's) in the name of not having players on the team who would quit on him.
Not too early to start handicapping McD's replacements for the 2019 season:
1)Bill O'Brien......he may get fired this season
2)James Franklin
Pegula's will be likely to go to the area they know........Penn State connections.
It's a rebuilding project that will take a few years. We have an old roster and these coaches inherited most of it...I just don't understand the constant turnover mindset and how it would be good for the franchise to not allow this regime to have a couple of years to build something. They haven't had a chance to get their guys on the roster? It's still been less than a year...

With the talent on this team we should really have been a one win team, so we are really ahead of the game.
Completely agree, most of those guys don't fit his schemes. Especially in the trenches on both sides and in the linebacker core. Tyrod needs an upgrade. Excited to see who they bring in this offseason. So many knew faces have had big impacts...Hyde, Poyer, White...so on. Hope they nail the offseason and keep improving this team their way

No matter the player, I want their head in the game, not the stands.

Don’t bother moving up. You draft 2 first round qbs. After 17 years, we HAVE to get this right. It might be out of the box but we cannot afford to miss and this will only improve our chances if not missing
I don't know how this would work. I've never seen anyone attempt it. Teams have drafted two QBs before but not that early I don't think. My question I guess would be does overcrowding the QB position with a lot of young QBs limit their repetitions too much and hurt their development? I don't know that answer

Depends,
Is there a new QB playing for the Bills? If so then sure I will take Kelvin Benjamin and a 8M cap hit over the third and the 7th
However if it is another ultra conservative QB or TT then no getting a WR that typically doesnt get college wide open and you need to throw it up to him doesnt make sense
I think they are preparing for an offseason switch at QB. Or at least a near future switch and I think they've known that. Just waiting for the season to implode a little before replacing the QB. The season is doing a nice job of blowing up haha. If it continues I fully expect Peterman to be in there.

I agree, for someone on his second "prove it" contract, he doesn't seem to want to prove he can be a consistent QB. I'd rather a QB move the chains than be so scared of turnovers that he'll rarely throw the ball past 5 yards.
It'll be interesting...I don't know if they are ready for a change yet at 5-4 still but we shall see. I wouldn't mind, Peterman may provide a spark who knows. But remember Tyrod has been a leader on offense and a player others have looked up to...may be hard to replace so quick.
-
Just now, MAJBobby said:
Yes it likely was, however there is no cap space, and spent two picks to get a WR those were assets to fill these holes.
that is my point I am not sure they have a clear direction either, one minute you can point to moves for next year and beyond then next thing you see moves that contradict that.
I think they are waiting to really suck in record before cutting the depth players to get comp picks. Otherwise you are bailing on what has been a positive season and we are still in decent position. If we start to go downhill, I expect to see more rookies like Peterman but it's just too soon. We are still in the race. I think they believe they'd be doing the organization a disservice by completely laying down.

I agree on the QB, but I feel that they are prepping for a very active offseason. I feel like this season was more of a "come what may" year. If we win, awesome! If not, we can build for next year.
Exactly

Where DID I EVER say FIRE these guys? Jesus just because I can acknowledge and place proper blame on them for this roster. evidently some fans cannot.
No but I don't understand why them being bad is a surprise? Everything that they've done lines up with what they have said...they want to win now as much as they can and rebuild for the future. They replace guys that didn't trust the process and didn't fit the schemes. They have more of that to do...they are rebuilding while not losing 15 games like the browns do...They have more wins then the browns have had in a few years combined and they have a lot of draft picks to add the most talent to what they want to do. Let these old vets teach the young guys some things and then let the young guys loose and let them develop. They gotta get another draft to keep flooding the roster with youth to replace the old vets. It's all a part of the rebuilding process.

Who is in love with tyrods garbage time stats?
I read a few posts that were saying that those stats proved he could throw the ball and so on...

All this talk of Process, DNA, Character what you saw on the field was the same Soft Weak minded un talented Bills teams of the -past 17 years
And Absolutely McBeane deserves blame for that
so already setting up the excuses to be used for next year.
You're mindset would've had Belichick fired before he had a chance to turn the Pats around. They were 5-11 that first year under him and then luck struck him and Tom Brady fell from the sky and played while their bridge QB got hurt...Some of the best coaches in the league don't start out with immediate success. It takes them time to implement their system and get the right players for their schemes.
-
Just now, MAJBobby said:
They have little cap space compared to the rest of the league and the UFAs they are going to have.
But hey blindly follow this regime that looks and sounds more like DJ 2.0 than anything else.
I am actually quite aware, we are preparing to purge the team of it's high salaries like we've been doing and replace them with young talent while continuing to open up salary cap space like they've been doing...They might get worse next year but after that I expect the young guys that fit their scheme to start winning us a lot of games. Patience my friend

I think you may have some reading comprehension issues. I said that if we had a draft do-over, the following players would go HIGHER than where we picked them:
-Milano
-Peterman
-T. White
And only Zay would go lower. Dawkins probably the same.
Okay but that makes it a bad class? I said they have been promising and you listed three guys that would be picked higher...I think that's basically the same thing. A few of those players can develop into everyday starters and graduate from their depth status. Just need some more time...
-
Just now, MAJBobby said:
Then why is your Rookie not starting?
Why is Davis, Holmes and Ducasse here?
Why wasnt Shady Dealt?
Why TT re-signed and pitched as the best chance to win?
Why is the coach always saying we want to win every week?
Why is there a bunch of OLD vets on this team?
That is the SPIN from the new regime
Fact is they built this roster and though some of you want to excuse it they deserve blame for a roster with alot of self created holes, no cap space and not talented enough
They said from the beginning they aren't tanking and they aren't...they are rebuilding but not tanking. There's a difference. They can be mildly competitive and keep stacking the team with their guys. They have a lot of cap space and draft picks.
-
Just now, The Frankish Reich said:
No, I'm not criticizing anyone. If Milano is Preston Brown, well, that's a damn good find in the 5th round. Peterman also looks better than his draft position. But there's nothing that jumps out in this draft so far. I mean, Milano still hasn't beaten out journeyman Ramon Humber. Dawkins hadn't beaten out the likes of Jordan Mills. Peterman hasn't gone all Dak Prescott on us (not that he's had the chance).
So you agree they look promising and need more time to develop haha...

OOo yeah ant the Bills have had GREAT seasons LOL you guys are making my night
So THEY BUILT THIS ROSTER. ONE VOID of talent
Thank you
They are building for the future not this season man...I think it's pretty clear but apparently it's not...

Milano - not sure on him yet. I think if there was a redraft (knowing what teams know now) he might go a bit higher, like Preston Brown range (3rd).
Dawkins - really can't say anything about him yet. Just hasn't seen the field enough.
Zay - redraft thing: no way he goes 36th overall. Try 76th. That's not to say he's a bust. Just that he's had a really bad start to his career.
Peterman - again, way too soon to say anything sensible. Looks like scouts like him, so if they had a draft do-over, I guess he might go a round higher or so.
Not one of those drafts that pops out at you as a great one (yet). Compare 2015, where by this point it was clear that Darby was a 1st round talent/CB starter from day one, that Karlos Williams was a steal, and that John Miller looked like he'd be solving that RG problem ...
They've played a half a year and some of them less...we can't even let our rookies develop anymore? They've flashed a little as a unit and I think they can build on that over time. They just need to be given that time...just like this coaching staff and front office...

Just now, MAJBobby said:
Yes they BUILT this Roster
Taylor - McD re did his contract (HIS CALL)
So LBers hmmm Humber was theirs, traded Ragland Brought back Lorax
they entire DBs thiers
Ducasse
all the WRs
yes they had BUILT this roster they OWN it and should be criticized if not good enough year one or not
They put bandaids on some spots until they replace them in the draft. You can't overhaul a roster completely in one season. Yeah they brought in veteran leaders who won't bark at the coach because they don't like his system. It's the reason a few players are gone. Give them a chance to replace those bandaids and we will all see if they did a good job or not.

Just now, MAJBobby said:
Bills fans are so funny with their rose colored glasses on You are NOT allowed to be critical of anything with them
Or maybe I just understand that it takes time to build a winner if the players don't fit the scheme when a new regime is hired.

1 minute ago, MAJBobby said:
Am I calling for them to be fired???? NO but I am not blindly trusting them and sure as heck not giving them a pass on this year, this is the ROSTER they built.
You're telling me he brought in the majority of this roster? You're saying Taylor wasn't here, that this aging linebacking core wasn't here, that they purposefully brought in guys that didn't fit the scheme? The guys they have brought in like Hyde and Poyer have played well for a reason...they fit the scheme. They didn't build the majority of the roster. The last front office did and they just inherited it.
Team again quit on McDermott

Probably to help mentor some younger players that they will bring next offseason. His experience will help some young kid out I'm sure.
