It's pretty hilarious to see fans now with revisionist history on Rex's time here. He is gone because he was a horrible coach who never should have been hired in the first place. He took a good team on the up swing and made them worse. He took a really good defence and wrecked it because it wasnt his defence. The offence improved but wasnt great. He was a blowhard who would talk the talk buy couldnt walk the walk. He had a track record from his time in NY and that was that his teams never really got better, just slowly worse. Doesnt mean the new guys are any better though.
McDermott took over a mess here and in 2 years made one side better and the other even worse. The defence is at a point where they can be very good at times, and the offence is a complete clusterf**k.
The only reason McDermott and Beane would get more time is because they may have convinced the Pegulas when they interviewed that the team needed a complete rebuild and it would take time to do it and would involve tough times. Being a newer naive owner, they believed them that it's going to be a long, but worth it, rebuild process. But after last season getting into the playoffs despite their best to try not to (starting Peterman, trading away some of their top talent, etc.) They hurt themselves because they continued to make themselves worse instead of building off of what they had last year. In owner of a billion dollar franchise is going to want to know why they couldnt work with what they had and continue to build from there, instead of getting much worse and becoming a national laughingstock with the rest of the league. Making choices like continuing to start Peterman, not addressing the horrible offence, questionable coaching hires (WR to coach the QB needing the most development out of all the others in the draft?) and dumping talent to take on dead cap space may make the ownership think twice about letting them have more time. Usually you want to see teams showing signs of improvement, not taking additional steps back.
McDermott may just end up being a very good DC that is in over his head trying to build an entire team, they gambled on one of the "up and coming" coordinators at the time and it may fail. With Rex, there was plenty of tape on his coaching career and not much was good and it's why he is in a booth and not on a sideline.
He took a 9-7 team and went 8-8 and 7-8. That is pretty far from taking a good team and making it worse. While McD took his 8-8 and 7-8 team and made it 9-7 and that is called taking a mess and improving it. Its all the same. Reality is this year (McD team) is one of the worst ever in the NFL. None of this should be celebrated. Neither should have been hired. This team needs a football person running the show and the Pegulas are stubborn and hired a stubborn coach.

Every Bills fan seems to dismiss the other Pro Team in town. The Sabres are a young and exciting team on their way up.
Really? They are the joke of the NHL. The worst record the past 7 seasons. Yes early in the season they are barely holding onto a playoff spot that could end one of the longest NHL droughts ever.

The important take away is the SB 1990's began in 1985, a 2-14 season and a process over a five year period. Over a 14 year period the Bills were in the playoffs 10 seasons (Just missing 1987, 1994, 1997, and 2000) and I remember all hell breaking lose when they lost a game despite ten win and over seasons. Great drafting, FA signings, and coaching made it happen just not overnight.
So McD must be Kay Stephenson. Guess we have to wait until week 4 next year for him to be fired.

This. We could have kept Tyrod for another two years and backed into a wild card loss or two. But we weren't getting any further than that.
And that is bad? Build a winning culture and start to sustain some success. I didnt realize the only option was to be awful before being good enough to win the super bowl.
Lets look at the past super bowl champs
Eagles - many mediocre seasons.
NE - when did they suck last?
Den - Nope
Sea - Nope
Balt - Nope
NYG
GB
NO
PIT
And on and on. None of these teams used a bottom out and blow up approach. They were mostly consistent teams that make some good moves etc and get over the hump.

He has no business being on the field. Our HC is really that blind. He would not start for a ton of college teams.

Look at the Sabres. They are the worst team in the NHL since the Pegulas bought them. Maybe they are aiming for the same with the Bills.
Having money does not mean you know how to run a sports franchise.

The top 5 to
59 minutes ago, Luka said:Top 5 defense to one of the worst in the league and your forte is defense. Then you bring in one of the worst defense coordinators in the league, your brother, to really drive the nail in the coffin. Rex is a damn clown.
This is so overused and untrue. Yes they were 4th the year before Rex got here. But that was a big jump from the 20's for a few years in a row before. It was not some sustained amazing defense that Rex destroyed. It happens all the time a Defense gets better for a year and then regresses.
And they never became the worst or one of the worst under Rex. They dropped to 15th or middle of the pack. That kind of drop happens all the time.
Even more, the offense actually improved under Rex. So in some ways the tam was becoming more balanced.

Peterman might be the single guy I’d want less then EJ. Every other human is ahead of those two for guys I’d want
There is not a single QB I would ever choose Peterman over. Not one. That includes Joe Webb.

I agree EJ. But be thankful - he makes all other Bills QB's of the past look so much better. I actually miss EJ with NP out there. Soooooo sad.

We shouldn't be talking about Peterman at this point in the season. The fact that we are is a black eye on the staff and front office. With that being said, Peterman probably had had his best game as a Bill. Both the interceptions were more on the receiver than him,.and the Croom fumble wasnt on him either.
Seriously? He played against air basically. He throw almost 50 passes and had less than 190 yards.

130 career attempts. His INT % just dropped below double digits. It was 11.5% and is now 9.2%. Today was absolutely huge for his career. 31 for 49 189 yards 3 INTs and a rushing TD. A staggering 4 yards per attempt and his first complete game. Career day for Peterman.
Its like they knew that a ton of attempts would help him.

How many quality free agents are going to want to come to this sh*tshow?
I think this is valid. McD is becoming a joke by putting NP out there. Why would any players want to play for him?

None of the names you mention will be in line for anything other than a desperation last minute fill a roster spot at a bargain basement price. If McCoy were a few years younger then he might be different.
1. That is a problem. Our coach and gm have them as our #1 RB, WR and TE.
2. Buffalo is where careers go to die.

To be clear Peterman is not a good QB but those claiming the WR's contributed a whole lot to our offensive problems today are spot on. We have the worst WR's/TE's in the NFL. I'm not sure any of these guys would start for any other team in the NFL. Our WR's do not get separation; they lead the league in dropping catch-able balls; and I believe they also are last in the NFL in YAC.
But I would also say that if Peterman supporters are going to cite the dismal WR/TE play to explain away some of his bad stats then the same applies to Allen who had 3 TD's dropped and at least one INT off a pass that bounced off the chest of a WR.
That is the problem. The entire Offense is awful. But your not going to get your best of anyone when your coach keeps putting Peterman out there. It is back breaking for players to see their coaches ego over the team.

Yep, and people have two choices. Work or leave the company. Most have to work as they are not independently wealthy and in the real world have extremely few options for alternative employment. NFL players are not that much different. Even in a contract year a player that quits usually will not be courted by the top teams. Most of our guys are not in contract years and have no real leverage with the Bills or any other team. Most right now in their minds are thinking just get through to next year and hope things start to improve.
While guys like McCoy and KB and even Clay know that someone will give them some money. Or they have enough and being a part of this circus is not worth it.

Blah blah blah. Many teams have tanked before and we are creating a hole new meaning of tank.

Anderson had SIX Turnovers and ZERO touchdowns against two of the worst defenses in the league. That trumps anything Peterman has done. Peterman at least scored a couple TD's and has played against NFL's top defenses.
Seems to be the approach at OBD. Lets have someone really awful play and then our awful guy doesnt look that bad. Would it have been too much to have a plan to have an even avg NFL starter and Allen as your #2? No we went with Peterman. Absurd. And dont want hear AJM was the plan, that was flawed as well. Guy started like a handful of games.
-
In your lines of work: If your boss continues to put some awful person out there to run things what happens. People get pissed, quit or stop doing their jobs. That is the Bills. Players have quit on the team. How do you blame them when the McD and Co allow Peterman to continue to play. It is offensive to them and embarrassing.

I actually thought all considered he looked half decent today. But don't expect the boxscore scouts to see that.
He played vs the prevent the entire game basically and threw dunk passes. First time a guy has completed 30 passes and been under 200 yards in like 20 years.
His end of the half drive and not wanting to throw the ball was sad. Didnt want to risk embarrassing himself and preferred just to pad his numbers.

The Cap situation for 2018 is the biggest reason we should all relax about McBeane..

How much money did they waste this year? Why is next year going to be different? Who are the available free agents that are available and likely to sign here? Just because they have the money does not mean it makes the impact so many think.
