Shouldn’t the players on the field know this too the ? Go back and watch the screen pass. The defense was in the right position. The coaching staff can’t make the tackles on the field. This failure was more on players than coaches. There are 10 other players in the field. And about 5 of those Patriots also beat the ***** out of the Bills DL. Watch the tandem of Jordan Phillips and Tim Settle try to anchor. It was not pretty. When your players are missing tackles and getting their ass blown up 1-on-1 there’s little you can do to compensate as a coach.

This is completely correct. There was someone here to said that Beane was going to turn on McDermott to keep his job. My response was that he can’t because he would also be incriminating his performance. As far as the moves you’ve mentioned, some worked out and some didn’t. But you mentioned Von Miller… the reason they had to overpay for Von was because they repeatedly missed on the DE position both with veterans and high draft picks. So they were forced to overpay for Von Miller. The moves worked until he blew his ACL and now it will be an albatross to the cap. The other move that looks questionable was re-signing Knox and drafting Kincaid. Kincaid looks like he will be great TE, but Knox’s deal will hurt the team next year. There seems to be a fallacy that the Bills roster is better than it actually is.

Who suspended you and why would they suspend you for criticizing the coach? Seems to be within the rules

Explain how the NE loss was a result of scheme or coaching? Because I watched Rhamondre Stevenson break about every tackle to get NE in striking distance on 1 play. After that we have a very bad PI and then Dane Jackson was beat badly in coverage. These are player breakdowns not a coaching one. As far as Denver, you can certainly blame him for the 12 men. But the PI wasn’t really his fault. If Johnson plays that differently it’s not PI. Not absolving McDermott by any means, but the degree of blame you are putting on him just isn’t correct

It’s definitely a problem and I truly believe McDermott when he says he doesn’t know why. Much like the Bills season there doesn’t seem to be a reason why. NYJ - Josh lost this game on turnovers NE - This was a result of the defense not being able to tackle, committing a costly DPI and flatout sucking DEN - McDermott was more aggressive here and went with the C0 blitz which resulted in a DPI PHIL - I’d attribute this more to the scheme and defense than any other the other 3 losses

Because this happened 59 earlier. And because it wasn’t McKinley.

September 14, 1901 when President William McKinley was assassinated.

Everything good = Beane Everything bad = McDermott Solid thinking, bro. Beane has never made a bad move Blow up everything and hand it to the OC after 2 games with zero playoff experience? What could go wrong?

Beasley was excellent at reading coverages and finding the right spot in the defense to get open. Harty can’t do that

From what I’ve read Harty was damaged good. Still had some juke to him but did not have the explosiveness he showed in New Orleans. He also didn’t show the varied route running ability that he was believed to have shown in the past. I’m unsure if this is bad scouting by the front office or if the injury that took him out last year has limited his ability. Either way with his contract, this was a bad signing

Here is the most likely group: Sean McDermott as HC Joe Brady as OC Bobby Babich as D McDermott wants to focus on game decisions, Brady stays given his success, Babich is promoted as a young up-and-coming play caller.

Yeah like most of the projections on this forum, this is completely unrealistic. First off, given his background, if Bobby Slowick is hired as HC, he isn’t going to keep the incumbent OC and will call the plays himself. That would be like Rex Ryan keeping Jim Schwartz in 2015. It was never going to happen. He’d be more likely to bring a position coach from Houston/SF to be his quasi OC in title. Second if you are Joe Brady who (unless he falls off a cliff) will likely have some success as a play caller this season. Why would he want a situation where he wouldn’t actually be calling plays. Third, as you stated it makes zero sense for MacDonald to take a lateral move and even if he wanted to Baltimore would not allow it Trading draft picks for a coach is always a bad move, Buddy.

It’s right up there with “he’s a loser that always loses”

It all depends who has Terry’s ear. From what I understand, he was very close with McDermott Ultimately, the decision will be made by TP. But who else can influence him? We have no freaking close. This is not uncommon in the NFL. Many times the GM and Coach both report to the owner. It’s more desirable for a coach

In on record that Kirby would be GM with the success rate of Buddy Nix

I’ll agree with you on Brady. He’s made a helluva impression in the small 2 game sample size. But explain how McDermott has “lost” the locker room? Because you want to believe it? Say what you will about McDermott as a coach but nothing I’ve seen or nothing that has been reported would indicate he lost the locker room.

I had no confidence in our defense when the Bills scored the go ahead touchdown. I was pretty sure Philly would easily get into FG range which they barely did. Then after when we settled for a FG I was pretty sure Philly was winning the game. We’ve just seen this too many times this year

Reliable in 1988

That doesn’t mean that Bass shouldn’t get heat for missing 2 huge kicks

Bass just cannot miss 2 FG in a game like this. He let the team down big time and I’m not sure why more aren’t on his case

For once we agree I felt horrible for Josh. He fought so hard and deserved that W. The game last night felt very much like the :13 game That’s not really true. It’s up to the defense to make a stop on the final possession. They’ve failed in many situations under McDermott.

You do realize that Beane is involved in the conversations which players to sit and which ones to play right?

Again this is foolish to imply. You’re assuming that draft picks are made in silos when they are not. It's not like the GM just makes a pick without coaches input. Also, if the GM was a superior evaluator of talent, then why would they let such great players walk away or trade them to other teams.

Maybe in terms of run blocking as a WR. But I don’t find Woods and Davis to be comparable at all. Two different kinds of WR’s

In that game they needed him as a blocker. But over the past 3 weeks he has like 3 receptions. This is not what they need from him.
