Started the season 1-5 and now on a 5 game winning streak, with a 37-5 blowout of McDermott and the Bills included in that streak. The guy can coach. Why the Bills didn't bring this guy in to be their head coach is beyond me. Looking at their schedule it looks like he is heading to the playoffs in his first year and the Colts are going to be the team nobody wants to play. Great job Frank Reich.
Hiring a defense minded coach in the new NFL where offense is King is the biggest mistake made so far by the Pegulas.https://buffalonews.com/2018/11/06/letter-bills-made-wrong-choice-by-not-hiring-frank-reich/
This is a very interesting take.... Problem is when McDermott was hired, Reich was not the commodity he was after winning the SB. I believe he was fired as OC in San Diego, and while respected, he was hardly considered a rising star fir a HC position. I always thought he was a quality coach and I know from experience he’s a great person. At least he was 20 years ago and I’m sure he still is

Anyone have any idea what this about? Colton has done pretty well I thought.
He was not good for two weeks in a row. Best thing he did was get a lucky bounce on a punt inside the 20

He had 2 punts that bounced and were downed inside the 5 - great.
He had 3 punts with little air time and gave up huge returns - luckily they called a penalty on Jac to negate the one return. A second had offsetting penalties to hold off another good return.
He only had 1 fair catch and a touchback.
Overall it is easy to see why they tried to replace him.
He is way to inconsistent to say he had an excellent game.
I agree....that guy that said Colton was “excellent” is out of his mind. He has not punted well.

Remember after the Bills 10-3 playoff loss, Jags DE Yannick Ngakoue claimed that Richie Incognito called him a racist term? Eric Wood, Dion Dawkins and Incognito himself denied it. Yannick made these claims and said he “couldn’t remember” what racist language Incognito said.
I remember reading that Incognito and Yannick made up at the AFC Pro Bowl. Still the NFL said they were investigating the matter.
Then nothing happened. No more news on the matter. What exactly happened? Did the NFL determine it was BS? Or did they just drop the investigation when Richie lost his mind?

Schmidt actually had an excellent game yesterday, especially pinning Jax behind the 5 multiple times.
But it of course can all change against Miami.
He had one good punt which was downed inside the 5. His 6 punts were far from excellent. I think he has a 40 yard average which is not good. He has struggled since returning to the roster

No! Not even House money or McKenzie can save him from his obvious flaws. Too many penalties, missed tackles and players out of position. Crossman, Castillo and Culley have to be upgraded.
I agree but the difference is Castillo and Culley have connections to McDermott. Crossman did not.

I think the issue is the Punter. Bills have 3 under contract but only the worst one is able to play right now due to injury
Problem is, either of those 3 could punt

Unless there's a guy on the staff that the owner thinks is a competent interim coach, especially with 5 games still left, they probably wouldn't be all that honest about his status.
I really don't think this means anything in terms of whether he'll get canned or not.
My understanding with Rapoport’s comment was that Doug was safe for next season too.
-
One thought that went through my mind yesterday: “Wow the Bills special teams have been horrible.”
Stephen Hauschka’s been $$$ but every other. aspect of special teams has struggled including punting, kick returns and kick coverage. There were several times this year when the ST’s significantly contributed to a Bills loss.
Does anyone think Crossman could be fire. Remember, he’s the last holdover from the Rex Ryan regime. He doesn’t have a connection to McDermott like a lot of other coaches do. I’m wondering if he suffers the same fate as another non-connected coach who struggled last year - Mr. Rick Dennison.

I hate Marrone but they were nearly in SB last year.
Which makes 3-8 even more unacceptable
-
Rapoport is reporting that Marrone is in no danger of being fired. I think this is atrocious and if I were a Jags fan, I’d be fuming. I think Doug really botched this season. How can he not be on the hot seat when a Super Bowl contender goes 3-8? Pathetic
-
We need to resign him

The problem is the Bills have a lot of losses in the AFC, I think even at 9-7 winning a tiebreaker will be really hard. Playoffs are pretty much out of the question, but I’m just hoping to see continued improvement from Allen

How and why would we even measure this?
It’s just a funny bird walk that Joe and Matt went on during the Bills Beat from yesterday. It was a funny conversation that I thought would be fun to share.

You guys are not considering how tough it is to fight someone with a wrestling background. If a good wrestler gets his hands on you, and is strong enough to hold on, you are done. Mcdermott would beat all of these guys.
Yes! I agree which I would think McDermott would be in consideration for toughest coach. His wrestling experience and the fact that he’s in great shape make him a contender.
Vrabel and Lynn are decent choices too. I think Ron Rivera is too old and broken down to fight.

No, not even close.
Just of those guys you mentioned, Ron Rivera or Jack Del Rio would take McD apart. Gregg Williams too because he would fight dirty, probably have an implement hidden. Marrone is big and mean as well, he is soft but I thin even he could take McD.
Only thing against Ron is his physical condition. He does look like a bit strong guy but one who is feeling the aches and pains of being a former LB

He might very well be but I'd also rank Tomlin highly in this area.
Tomlin was Fairburn’s pick. He does look like a fighter though he seems a bit out of shape. Plus McDermott has a wrestling background where he could wear him down. I think this matchup is a toss up

Ol’ Doug Is on the hot seat!!!!!

Riverboat actually played NFL ball, he’d scare me until he hits 60.
He’s a pretty big dude though he looks a bit broken down

And now for a ridiculous but very entertaining topic....I was listening to Joe B and Matt Fairburn discuss the brawl during the Bills/Jags football game.
At one point the conversation goes off the rails, they joke about a fight breaking out between Sean McDermott and Doug Marrone. They say that McDermott could easily beat Marrone in a fight which leads them down the path of discussing whether McDermott is the toughest coach in the NFL in a legit fight, and if he isn’t, which coaches could possible beat him.
Joe B believes that McDermott might very well be the toughest coach in the NFL. Fairburn thinks Mike Tomlin could take him because he looks mean. Both men agree that McDermott would beat Doug Marrone.
They also threw out a few other names that could challenge McDermott
Sean McVay: Young but too easy-going
Gregg Williams: Old but crazy, could pull a lead pipe in the fight
Ron Rivera: Looks like a tough guy
Steve Wilkes: Looks like he could crack some heads
Jack Del Rio: A formidable foe for McDermott but is now out of the NFL.
Bill Belichk: Not beating anyone in a fight.
Tom Coughlin: Old and mean but not a tough guy
It’s a hilarious segment that you can check out below it’s around 41 minutes or so:
So what do you think? What other coaches could give McDermoty a run for his money and who he destroy?
-
Check Jerry’s twitter feed from today. It seems as though he’s resorted to trolling fans like Dan O’Shaugnessey in Boston. Kinda sad
-
I can’t figure out what the deal is. I do think part of the problem is the blocking. He doesn’t have the space he needs to make players miss. The other problem is his reluctance to hit the hole hard like Chris Ivory does.
