I'm sorry but the days of grooming a QB for 5 years are long gone. FO's and coaching staff's get 3 years. QB's drafted in the first round get 2-3 MAX. Adapt or die.
Die? Like 20 years of not reaching post season? This team was dead and McD has given it a pulse.
3 years for a coach is how loser teams keep losing...That's the recipe for never winning.

Losing games, losing the locker room, losing your job. McDermott is a preacher of culture, if the results are not there, the followers will start questioning their belief's. This is why to McDermott, it is so important to get process guys, it takes them longer to lose faith, they don't question the preacher, etc. Culture in lieu of talent = losing IMO.
So he has to win games to keep his job, how is that different than any other coach?
So far the results are 1 playoff appearance out of 2 tries.
...but but the point differential and stats, so fail...right?
Edit:
My mind is kinda blown that after 20 years of no post season there are fans that want this Superbowl to happen so fast. There is a process of winning in place that has not been here. I'm enjoying the build, and I feel sorry for those that can't.

McDermott's culture is not showing up in games against quality opponents however. If that trend continues, the culture will break down, it cannot last.
The culture is how you run the organization, so how does it break down?

That's the thing, just because someone played sports, it does not give them some kind of leg up on those who did not. Belichick wins with strategy and intelligence during games as well as during the off season, has nothing to do with some knucklehead notion that you have had to have played sports to be any good at running a sports team, a very prevalent yet ignorant take.
To know and not to do, is not to know.
You don't have to have played football to be a part of the radio coverage for a team, but it would help.
Mike lives in the world of symbols (stats), the actual real thing doesn't matter as much.
Like previously mentioned there is no stat for culture so it's not real or relevant to his super-smart brain.
Also team culture is the most important thing, IMO.

Few things I think from watching the Eagles a little:
Running up the middle will be tough, but Singletary and McKenzie to the sidelines can work because the Eagles give up contain frequently.
RAC will be there as the Eagles take bad tackling angles in their secondary, so maybe the backs going with short passes and not hammer them against the green wall.
Josh should be able score with a run to the perimeter if needed in the red zone.
Josh needs to get rid of the ball quick, they're coming...again RAC will be there so let the guys make plays.
Carson will make big plays and a few key mistakes, they can play patient and manage this game on offense.

I am sorry but Demarcus Ware's appears to be an uninformed opinion - he says we are a great run defense and dont make mistakes and make offenses one dimensional (pass heavy).
The most interesting tidbit from that segment was delivered by Rich Eisen. He said he has heard rumors that the Pats are going after a real big fish before the trade deadline. Much bigger than Mohamed Sanu.
Hopefully they're not going after Trent Williams.

You think PFF don't watch the games?
I mean the whole game, the way scouts do...live. They talk to the people around the scene and get to know so much more than watching cut-ups of individual plays.
So let me ask you, does PFF have a live rep at the games scouting the way NFL teams do? How many? Do they meet with coaches and trainers to get data?
This type of info has value, but it has limits. Makes guys say dumb things like:
"a parody of an NFL quarterback prospect" and "the battleground old-school scouts are going to die on."
-
The problem with stats is that they are not watching the actual games.
You can learn a lot from watching the whole game, but PFF and FO (Football Outsiders) types of services don't have time.
You learn much more by being at the game, talking to the kids, seeing how they react on the sidelines, with their teammates, good times and bad, you hear the ball whistle, you feel the impact of big plays vs. run of the mill passes....
Real scouting will trump these stat based analysis, we fans never get to see the whole picture like scouts do.
That's how Beane and McDermott knew Josh was their man, they didn't only look at numbers. PFF and FO were surprised that Josh could run the ball, that's kind of a big miss for stat guys...but you wouldn't see that watching cut ups of every throw.

Watching the video from the 1st angle it looks like the throw should have been leading Beasley to the middle of the field, away from the defender.
The pass ends up the other way, to the outside of the defender...bad pass IMO.
-
The question is how many TD passes will Sanu throw this year? He's thrown 4, I'm sure they will use him to throw a TD pass at some point.
Nice veteran pick-up for them, damn.
-
I know it's not popular around here or in today's NFL, but I love the way McDermott sees the game.
I love his style of football, I want my team to be a great defense first. I would rather win 6-3 with no offense than lose 44-45 with my QB throwing 400 yards.
I want a defense that allows nothing. I want a QB that can win the game, but I don't want to need him to.
Coach of the year is too soon, but I'm glad he's the coach of the Bills.

From the article:
"Williams knows better than to take his debut lightly. He initially balked at an interview request because his first priority was heading to the weight room for a post-practice workout."
He seems grounded. I like that he mentioned that his past made him who he is. This is so true, as long as you make the mindset change a troubled past can be an edge that most don't have.

This is a very nice cherry pick now show us about 20 to 40 similar examples of this and your point is made.To me there is no evidence of a discernible trend where this is actually the case and works with great frequency. I believe it is quite rare, actually. Otherwise, I believe that the best way to build a team is through the draft.
Thanks?
I didn't post to change your beliefs, so it's all good.?

McVay knows the History of the NFL very well, he's way smarter than his age. This has been done before by Joe Gibbs and Bobby Beathard, they made very few 1st round picks while making regular Superbowl and playoff runs in the 80's.
Redskin 1st rounders under Gibbs:
When you look at the fail rate for 1st rounders it makes sense.
The difference is the salary cap, we'll see how they maneuver that going forward.
-
He may improve with a change of environment and coaches, with a different system and QB. Sometimes it works out for everyone.
The Raiders seem like the best fit for his Dad, who else would put up with that crap? Shame on him for doing that to his son, even if his son wanted him to (I don't know).
-
What I'm seeing is a lack of rhythm to the offense. The plays seem disjointed and off-timed a lot. McDermott and Frazier do this constantly to other teams' offenses.
Experience will help Josh and the whole group, but the plays that are "easy money" have to be made. When they're not everything gets off timing.
The O'line stat is aided by Josh's scrambling ability. The Patriots ends were playing contain at times, that would show well for the stat but not because they beat their man.
My hope is that Josh will consistently make the plays in the rhythm of the offense, but when it's needed he'll put on the cape. I'm not sold that Josh can be a guy you want throwing 50 times a game. Give him Russell Wilson's game plan. We have the defense, maybe we need another RB to help, we'll see how Singletary returns. We have all these TE's, I would just pound that thing and play defense. Josh will beat them in the 4th quarter.

Most of the players on D are going to be playing for quite a while. Lorax will probably not and he's pretty darned important, but the Bills are trying to develop replacements.
The one I'm worried about losing isn't a player, it's Frazier. D Coordinators as good as him get HC job offers.
The defense seems to be missing a couple pieces to make it legendary. There needs to be another pass rusher or two that can change the game and require double teams. Trent Murphy could be upgraded, maybe Johnson will be the guy but it may take another piece on the line.
I would like to see the next high draft pick they use on defense address Lorenzo's position. He's my favorite player, but if he was replaced with someone (next year) who could really be a force as a pass rusher they could be better. He is so smart and versatile I hope his replacement gets a year or two with him before he's gone.
I don't know if any team wants Frazier as a HC, I would be surprised. I'm sure they would take him as a DC though, especially after working with McD. I think the trend is young offensive HC rather than old DC's.

This video angle completely exonerates Jones, and shows Allen to be a little too aggressive for his own good. There will be no fine, and there should not have been a penalty either.
He was being tackled, I'm pretty sure he wasn't targeting the defender. ?
-
I know he should have been ejected, and the offsetting penalty should not have erased the only punishment (but by rule it does).
Why bother changing the rules for safety unless it's just for Tommy boy? NFL loves protecting him.
The NFL reduced the threshold for ejection by removing the need for the hit to be "flagrant" in 2018.
The player targeted, launched, and hit him in the head with his helmet. WTF else do we need?
https://www.sbnation.com/2018/9/9/17492612/ncaa-targeting-rule-nfl-comparison
Playing Rule Article 8: It is a foul if a player lowers his head to initiate and make contact with his helmet against an opponent. The player may be disqualified. Applies to any player anywhere on the field. The player may be disqualified.
Late in the preseason, after a bunch of perplexing calls, the NFL made clear that “inadvertent” helmet contact wouldn’t be treated as a penalty.
“For us this is a pretty significant change,” Competition Committee chairman Rick McKay told reporters in announcing the change. “This one technique, we saw so many hits when a player lowered his head and delivered a hit and either hurt himself or the player he was hitting.”
The NFL already prohibited “initiating forcible contact by delivering a blow with the top/crown” of the helmet when outside the tackle box.
In effect, that’s now banned all over the field. The league also got rid of a clause that said players could be disqualified “if the action is flagrant.”
-
I am starting to wonder if he will learn to protect himself before it's too late.
I think he has all the skill and the will to be an all time great.
There is no play or game (maybe the last drive of Superbowl) worth taking a shot to the head that could be avoided.
I don't blame him for the cheap head shot, but he has to know the shots are coming if he runs.
We need him to play and finish all 16 every year.
Is he going to adjust or continue to get crushed?

You weren't allowed to play video games?

What "type" of fan are you? Coming clean

I'm a fan of football. I love the game itself, and I love it more when the Bills win.
I want players that I can root for, guys that McDermott to wants to have.
Long term winning isn't built overnight. They're building a core that can grow and tech new comers the right way in the future.
Maybe the guys we have won't all still be here if/when the win a championship, but the teaching of their way from player to player will be the scaffolding.
Now, do you give every coach and GM the time and patience like that? Is every good guy also going to be a winner?
No, but you can look for a sign...
