Considering Sean McDermott's has been battling skin cancer for awhile any criticism due isn't justified right now. Cannot fire him and he's willing to keep going through it. We all need to really step back and think about what's going on. Getting whisked away by ownership and Management before a presser isn't a good thing. Saw my Grandmother's lung cancer spread to her brain.

Great coaches inspire their team to have confidence and a “can do” attitude. That’s how you get teams to over achieve. McDermott does none of that. Josh does it for our offense. It’s almost like our guys on defense are afraid to make mistakes. Then post game Josh has to say he needed to play better and do a better job. That’s not fair to Josh, who plays his heart out every game. When is the last time our defense created a much needed turnover at the end of a close game? Good teams do that. Interceptions, fumble recoveries, blocked kicks, etc. You need someone to be the hero on defense. It can be a different guy each time, but someone has to make a play. I think McDermott has lost the locker room and guys no longer believe in his “process”.
Lost it you are right, media has tuned him out, management, and ownership were talking to him after the loss. My guess d theye already moved onto Joe Brady bd might be telling McKoormatt his time is tiking down.

Clue less McFloormatt will be pounding many a sideline complaining about how people don't get his elimination process. I do that Japanese system means even those who implement it get fired too.

Only McD can manage to "lead" a team to a .500 record with an elite QB
The Jacksinville game was just such a brutal loss. Then he gloated to the media in patties he had hosted. If e concentrated more on the jobs he's hired for and spent less time getting wasted, trahed, and hung over then he might actually be an elite Coach. All the trembles, shakes, and givers he's had in pressers I'm not unfamiliar with those been sober for sixteen years. Think it's time to push Joe Brady into becoming head coach. Otherwise might be looking at a future DUI manslaughter case. Wash hands of a public relations problem before it blows up.

Joe Brady pretty much over night has made a refreshing impact to franchise in a lost season. To such an extent would be willing to say give him an interim ahead coaching start. It was Sean's team and he doesn't have it anymore and lost the locker room. Joe Brady has out right inherited it and made it his own. Maybe, we could make Sean he assistant defensive backs Coach to the scout team defense.

I've been saying this for 3 years and have been suspended here twice for voicing my opinion on this bumbling moron of a coach....the biggest issue with the Bills is and always has been McDermott
Soft Serve Sissy Sean McFloormatt is burning thbprimes if the greatest team we've had in years. Thirteen seconds and twenty seconds secured his legacy a cowardly limp wristed hire from the bowels of Innsmouth which is only possible due to his frat associations. Many of those hires have fizzled and flamed out in Sabres and Bills circles. Though it really gets under moderators skins on here.

I mean we’re still alive…
Yes it will because if we’re being honest we don’t really have anyone except for Josh. As it is can still remembering him carrying this team with Beasley and Brown. Without Diggs and with more and more influence over how plays were called with Daboll and more plays changed. I get 8t from Buffalo press internal and external Ken was a dictator. We need to get back to humble and hungry. Not hanging up Lombardi banners or posters, a torn UCL and a town shoulder ligament have hit Josh.

If he's that mentally weak that he needs this then the Bills are in far worse shape than any of us have thought. Luckily he's not so let's leave the kid gloves at home.
I remember the Leafs did a pregame tribute thing for Tavares after he was booed his first time back in long island. To "make him feel appreciated". Can't remember ever being that secondhand embarrassed as a fan of a team. And I cheer for them and the Bills which is saying something.
Doesn’t look like you are cheering really. I’m a Habs fan every year it is twenty-four cups and counting. So, what you’ve got hard feelings toward Josh. Who’s playing with a torn UCL and torn shoulder ligament. You don’t strike me as someone who should be saying anything whatsoever on this issue.

Sean McDermott will ultimately win a Super Bowl. This season being a let down it happens. People got hyped up on the hang over of the past few seasons. We lost a lot of defensive playmakers. The offense was tired and a retread none changed playbook of Daboll’s. It’s frustrating we all bought into the Lombardi movement it’s reality we don’t have Kaiir Elam running hybrid going corner and linebacker, we don’t have DaQoun Jones at tackle, and we leaned on Matt Milano. Hats frustrating me is the lack of focus we didn’t take Jacksonville seriously and that’s where our problems began and end. Sean is going to be crashing into reality need the humble and hungry vibes back.
1 hour ago, Mango said:Good video from Warner. I tend to agree with this. Overall there is something going on with the offense and I am not sure if it is as simple as Josh, Dorsey, etc.
Part of me is a bit excited, but Warner eluded to something I am suddenly a little worried about. Josh is having some difficulty timing his footwork to the routes and setting his feet on time (early/late). Dorsey has OC is certainly in charge of everything, but as stuff gets more granular like the fundamentals of your footwork and decision making, eventually this gets drilled into by the positional coaches.
Whether we like it or not, Dorsey was part of the staff (QB Coach) who helped fix this issue with Josh. I think there is a chance some things get worse under Brady if these are Josh's issues with him as his QB coach.
Point blank I say this every time for those who blame Allen. He’s been playing with a torn UCL from last season which hasn’t improved. And a torn shoulder ligament. If we need to shut down Josh at this point for IR and surgery it’s acceptable at this point.

Okay, then since you didn’t take the hint. Sean maybe one of the greatest Coaches Buffalo has ever had. The problem is he’s unfocused, uninspired, not 24/7 devoted, and he wouldn’t even be bothered to test the pitch for getting his team ready. He didn’t take Doug Pederson seriously and still thought the Jags weren’t a threat. Until. He gets down off his high hill and devotes himself one hundred percent like Marv Levy, Bill Walsh, Vince Lombardi, and Jimmy Johnson during a football season as it’s a business including John Madden as well. He’s not going to be anywhere near them and he’ll be a playoff Coach who’s not really even close to someone like Marty who tried but had his ceiling. Whatever’s going on in his personal life along with his staff he has to put it on a shelf and on hold. That’s the nature the business and I don’t think he’s going to be cut anymore slack for his miscalculations he’s a professional.

My fear is Allen will go down in history as the best QB to never win a Super Bowl.
Then we may hear the McDermott drone of how teams didn’t listen to his process. It’s been over seven years, he needs to have sustained energy. I’m sure players like him and respect him. Just had so many problems bringing the intensity which we saw Pederson bring. Which still is alarming because he didn’t bring the team until Friday, how prepared would Levy have been, he would’ve been focused, composed, and building up a playing scheme around the pitch. So many different issues wherein he still acts like a spoiled brat and with a padded win-loss ratio and breaking the drought I think the first chip in his armor is exposed.
39 minutes ago, starrymessenger said:To me the Bills are comparatively a good organization and McD is a good coach and a good person. I think he cares about his guys. Being a good person is important insofar as player relations are concerned and in that regard the Bills have pretty much been without public controversy and focused on football throughout the Beane/McD era. They are entirely a professional outfit. I think he's a top shelf DC, an excellent defensive mind, but I think he needs help with the offence. What he needs is an experienced OC to whom he hands over the reins. Dorsey might be talented but his inexperience seems to show itself often enough relative to play design and play calling. His product sometimes seems unsophisticated in comparison to the best of his peers and one has to wonder whether he is making the most productive use of the talent at his disposal (JMO but I think maybe not). In the best case scenario he gets much better over time as he gains experience. In the worst case he just doesn't have it. In either case time is of the essence re the Josh Allen window. Ideally of course the Bills would have gone out and tried to hire a currently more accomplished guy assuming one was available, but the Bills tendency to hire from within limits the accessible talent pool. Ideally you go out and hire the best guy. Not sure the Bills do that. Maybe their concern is that if they have never worked with a guy there is a risk of functional disharmony at the senior coaching level and that of course could possibly be disastrous. To me though that's a risk that you do your best to manage through due diligence and then otherwise you absolutely take that risk. There is no substitute for talent.
Right now I'm hoping that Dorsey will prove to be that guy over the course of the year. If he doesn't they need to make changes heading into the 24 season. I don't care if Dorsey is Josh's pal.
To me it feels like after admitting he didn’t bring the energy, waiting until Friday, and not remembering how Doug Pederson had smoked him last time. Sean didn’t take it seriously he’s not as focused as Marc Levy, he’s not as schematically focused as Levy, and he’s not going to try and learn one hundred percent the perfectionism of Marv. Bottom line is, is that until McDermott actually takes it seriously 24/7 he’s got no business being an NFL HC end of story.

Uh-huh. Let's dissect this particular salad point by point:
1) The iceberg lettuce of the salad: Alt-right? Whaaaat?
And bullying? Listen, man, if I wanted to bully you, you'd know I was doing it.
2) Tom fricking Coughlin? When was the last time he coached, let alone one of his teams won a Super Bowl?
3) I dug holes and burned human waste in the middle-east desert as a US Army private. Please do tell me again how I've never had a boot up my ass.
4) I tend to reserve intellectual responses for those that have a modicum of intellect.
And for the record, I've been following this team for a long time now, 40 years. I know what this team was, and I know what this team is. I have a great deal of respect for my elders, but If you're going to try and tell me that BILL BELICHICK, who won precisely nothing without Tom Brady under center is the answer, I'm going to rightly ridicule you.
Tom still had two Super Bowl victories, was mocked just as much by fans due to his age, and that was from Buffalo when he interviewed. I think ring envy is so deep in this fan base. That it mixed so well with ageism and from a literary perspective of analysis you still do the same technical breakdowns over age. When a name comes up like Harbaugh fans knocked him and said he could come back to special teams during the Ryan-era. I think we get to see why we’ve had it so rough and it’s because fans here have such a toxic attitude but try to hide it under a streaming of neon veneer when in reality they’d throw Grandma out and say it’s for the youth not the old. As for being forty I don’t try to hinge and hang onto the word salad phraseology of the alt-right like Raheem Kassam or others. You opened that can of worms up. Now, I’m just going to see myself out of this.

Even prior to the season, I've been of the opinion that his seat is deceptively warm like Tony Dungy's was in Tampa prior to the Glazers hiring Gruden, and Jim Mora in Indy prior to the Colts hiring Dungy. The Bills are a *very good* team but can't seem to get over that hump. I think he's in trouble even if the Bills finish with a winning record. Another early departure from the playoffs could be it.
Here's why: Yes, the Bills are enjoying sustained success, but the Pegulas do not spend all of that money to be "very good", and with each passing year, you're using another year of Josh Allen/Stefon Diggs prime. You'll have squandered Von Miller's time. You also want the team on an upward trajectory heading into the new stadium. Much of what has kept the Bills out of the Super Bowl is fundamentally tied to organization, strategy and coaching.
As it pertains to this year, this team is loaded up for a Super Bowl run *this* year. The money has been spent, the players acquired, and again you've got bizarre organizational issues that fall to the head coach and his coaching staff.
Think he shot himself in the foot admitting he doesn’t bring the energy of a Doug Pederson. The presser was depressing and not leaving until Friday. Just didn’t take the game seriously and doesn’t he’s more concerned most likely with his hometown Pittsburgh, watching the Steelers ground out, as he also watches Pitt, and the W&M where he met with AD and team officials before signing his extension which he’d told Kim and Terry he’d never do so, but did so anyway. It’s not surpassing now in hindsight why he didn’t call out Ken Dorsey for interviewing with the Panthers and his insulting arrogance over mentioning how he’d bolt from Buffalo for the Miami Hurricanes job. When he’s done the same things himself.

Behold, TSW, the king of hyper-emotional post-loss word salad.
TREMBLE at his sheer lack of anything resembling testicular fortitude.
Behold some alt-right, ageism lunatic, who fears actual wisdom, and results to his typical bullying behavior. As he stumbles and fumbles to find answers to those like Tom Coughlin. While breaking down under literary analysis of statements and sentiments. Regarding how he wouldn’t feel comfortable around a certain age bracket due to his vain existence of a near Coupling (Sally Harper) aging crisis. I don’t think you ever respected elders because you were such a sweet and delicate entitled child and nobody ever put a boot up yer arse. You’ve got all the complexities of a spoiled child. Looks like the old men have more testicular fortitude and rings to show for it then you do. Word salad is generally that condescending and sniveling line which means you lack intellectualism and intelligence for debate.

I want no part of hiring a coach in his 70s
Which is why you’d probably never hire anyone in their sixties and seventies. It’s the same casualness used against hiring Coaches in that age bracket even though they are proven winners. Tom Coughlin was the oldest Coach to win a Super Bowl. Ageism doesn’t really work because if nothing else an old man can still find a way to whoop arse. Though you’d probably never really say so publicly or when you rescind job offers. Met a lot of old timers who were section chiefs and civil engineers who could analyze folks like you, and the thing was I’d listen and just as aptly used the same analytical techniques they use in the present day. Bar stool is where a sports reporters career goes to die.

You think it's absurd to mention the fact that Sean McDermott pissed away a chance at a home AFC championship game and the best chance this team has had at a championship after his QB led a heroic shoulda-been GW drive in Kansas City? Yeah, I'm going to remember that and keep mentioning it forever and ever given the fact that my goal is Super Bowls, not division titles and playoff appearances resulting in losses.
Think players are just getting drained from his comical style. Of stat padding regular season magic without rings. Buffalo did nothing really to prepare for this game. And in the end was a sobbing mess of a Coach bowing down and kissing Pederson’s ring to lament his lack of energy and drive as a Head Coach. Said after thirteen seconds we should’ve hired Doug but McDermorr has the frat legacy check marks which is why Terry is so on to keep him. We also have the drama off the field and Kim isn’t team president anymore so there’s a lacking fire in the front office.

I agree with everything you said. This is a playoff team, that will exit relatively early in the playoffs when they have to play a really good defense or another elite QB.
Largely it’s McDermott who cannot bring energy, excel, and keep his players excited. That somber presser of not being able to bring the energy. He’s a stat padding Coach who’s unbelievably mediocre when it matters most. It’s almost like he’s saying he’s quitting on players when it matters most and cannot elevate them.

The McDermott/Dorsey, high flying Bills who win games by 4 TDs are back to their old ways of not being able to win the close ones. That’s my main problem with McD. Win the close games, the team should be able to do that. KC wins so many one possession games.
McDermott admitted he doesn’t bring and cannot bring the energies of someone like Doug Pederson. Should’ve been canned after thirteen seconds but alas he’s a post turtle.

I look at the last game last year, the first game this year, the $#!+ show in London and I wonder what the heck is going on? How can a team look so good one week and then this happens. Somebody will be held accountable sooner or later.
Made myself watch the presser, of McDermott crying, and saying he didn’t bring the energy. Looks like Doug Pederson brings more energy to a game then Sean does. We’re getting to see the impacts of a mundane stat padding Coach and an elite Super Bowl winning Coach. After thirteen seconds we stuck with stat padding and I think that’s the story of McDermott’s career. Fine for the season though with injuries becoming a strong “if” and largely unimpressive, unfocused, and uninspired in the post season.

The way this offense can go from running like a sports car to a dump truck in 7 days is baffling. At some point the roller coaster needs to stop. We have all seen how great this team can be. We only get so many chances with Allen at the helm. Beane has to be at least pondering the idea of coaching being the issue. Also is there an issue with this teams conditioning? Lots of injuries the past 2-3 years.
I’m just looking forward to next years draft. Defensively we lost our heart and to many guys were left in for far to long with sprains becoming tears, it’s like watching Mike Shannahan wanting to load up his meat wagon for slabs of injuries and career ending injuries on guys like RG III.

No surprise as when the Bills are rolling the dinks and dunks and moving the chains is great, but when from the second play of the game you could tell the Jags weren't going to allow the Bills to do that, time to use Josh to his full potential.
For some reason he is no longer running and defenses seem to know that. Short passes pad the completion %, but the intermediate route is the Bills bread and butter
Lawrence and the Jags moved the ball and their offense looked crisp while even early you could see the Bills were lost on offense.
With Allen, completely unacceptable.
Either McFloornatt nor Dorsey fin know how to use generational talents.

Dorsey doesn’t make any secret he wants to leave. Talked about it leading up to Miami, chirped himself up to the Panthers, and ignored his biggest playoff game. A locker room cancer and suddenly folks are going to say when he’s gone and the offense becomes more explosive. After he gets creamed what it’s like playing for a real OC.

Think the fact he's still been battling skin cancer throughout is a much bigger victory. Along with trashing my critiques of him. It's a rough year sure but we shouldn't be riding him as we don't know.
