    McD is neither amazing nor terrible.

     

    He is a fantastic guy to have if you want to improve a teams culture and level of professionalism. A true leader in that respect.

     

    But he has also demonstrated on numerous occasions that he is bordering on being completely clueless and totally out of his depth when it comes to managing critical game day situations - particularly at the end of games.

     

    He is a very likeable guy with great character traits but I am not sure that he is capable of leading this team to a Lombardi. I sincerely hope that I am wrong about this.

    I 100% agree with this post, particularly the bolded part.

    Bills release new stadium renderings

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    Pretty unimpressed by these 2 renderings. they don't reveal much and if anything create more WTF type questions with so little info released.  For starters, a top down view would give a much better perspective on the canopy coverage, the 2nd pic doesn't imply even 25% coverage IMO, much less 65.  Also what's going on in the endzone underneath the videoboard?  Is that the standing room only section they previously mentioned?  I mean I guess it's sorta cool to have SRO at field level for the aerial visuals and player interaction, but standing to watch a game from there will suck. 

    Next, why does it appear that they plan to have wide open wind tunnel above the end-zone just beneath the canopy, and why have you tilted the relatively small videoboard? Like seriously, major WTF to me.  IMO all of that space should be one giant videoboard like virtually every other modern stadium has.

    Also looks like 4 giant tunnels in each corner that go all the way up to to the upper deck.  Not understanding why they need such elevation from all 4 tunnels.

    I would hope they could give some better renderings, overall the first release is disappointing at best. they really create more questions and provide few answers on where our $850 million is going.

    I Watched SB 28 In Full Last Night, Thoughts & Analysis

    Inspired by the thread on "Why Was Thurman So Bad In The Last 3 SBs" I made the brave slightly illogical decision of watching the Bills final SB loss. This truly was a game of two halves. Here are my thoughts on not only the game but how the sport itself has changed which was cool in many ways in sad in one:
     

    -With that said the game did change on the fumble to tie but it was not the way I expected. It 100% fired Dallas up but like I said the defense after allowing the TD to Dallas to go up 20-13 hung in there. The offense just gave up in a sense. Thurman was beyond despondent and I am surprised a teammate didn't punch him for how bad his attitude was. The Bills also did not finish drives. The fact they didn't attempt a TD at the end of the 1st half and just played for the FG was mind blowing. In general the first half felt like each team trading punches and the Bills landed a few that had Dallas back. Yes the game momentum 100% turned on the fumble, but I would argue it actually started with the Bills not getting a TD to go up 17-6. You could feel Dallas walking into half that they dodged a possible knockdown punch there.

     

    -Final remark watching it back as a fan of the Bills was frustrating as you could see it was a game they 100% were in if not actually had control of for a while. It is a shame the offense never got out of its way in the 2nd half as they had their shot. With that said it was really cool to see though our guys in the big game and everything that went with it. Time has benefited the Bills of those days well with how they are now remember because they were a great team and deserve to be remembered so. On to 2022 and the Josh Allen SB train!

    I was at that SB and had seats on the Bills sideline about 15 rows up from the 25-30 yardline (seats were gifted from a member of the Bills coaching staff to one of my co-workers at the time).  The most maddening thing was watching Thurman after that fumble sit on the bench in front of us for almost the entire 3rd quarter sulking with his head in his hands.  Not a single player or coach came to him during that time.  They just left him be, which was infuriating as he was our best player on offense (sorry Kelly fans) and the previous 3 SB losses and that key fumble clearly got in his head and subsequently the rest of the team's heads.  Coaches and players should have been lifting him him and getting him emotionally back in the game.  Instead they left him to sulk.  I blame Levy and the staff for that SB loss more.  The Bills were the better team that year, until the failures of the past ate away at their confidence and their best player on offense took himself out of the game almost the entire 3rd quarter (not 100% on how long he sat out, but my memory was that he sat most of it).  SBXXV and XXVIII should have been W's, instead, they failed themselves and lost games they should have won and were the better team.  Thurman was at the time, and remains today one of my favorite Bills of all time.  Just wish his coaches teammates would have lifted him up when he need it most.

    Mic'd up: Kelce outsmarted McDermott/Frazier

    One again McClappy has proven that in critical moments, he chokes.  Period.  Just an awful sequence of horrendous coaching that started with the kickoff.  McClappy may be great throughout the week, but on gameday, in critical situations, he's the last guy I want coaching my players.  Ugh.  No doubt, he cost us a Super Bowl.  Allen deserves better.  So depressing.

    If the Bilss don't make the SB, and Allen is put in as 1st alternate, I'd tell the league and players who voted Lamar in over him to go F themselves and turn it down.  Frankly, I don't think Mahomes should be there over Allen either.  Herbert is a baller, reminds me a lot of Allen, I have no issue with I'm being in the top 3.  Allen being disrespected by the coaches and players is just so wrong and he should be PISSED and motivated by the disrespect.  Carry that chip Josh, and be sure to let the league know it when you stomp on them.

    Dawkins?  What a joke as he certainly isn't Pro Bowl caliber this season.

    No Josh Allen is even more laughable.  A legit MVP candidate 2 years running but not in the top 3 AFC QBs?  What a freackin joke.  I hope he carries that lack of respect from the league, players and fans as a huge chip on his shoulder enroute to winning out along the way to a Super Bowl Championship

    With all that Bills still had a chance in overtime. They went 3 and out. Then couldn’t get off the field on 3rd and 3. Fans wanna blame the refs..but we didn’t do what we needed to do to win. 

    And that falls on COACHING.  Significant heat is deserved on the entire coaching staff and the front office (for their abysmal player evaluation and management on both lines) after this woefully disappointing season falling way below even the most modest expectations
