I know change probably isn't happening as Terry likes both McDermott and Beane. If Kim were healthy then I think there would have been a chance for change but unfortunately, she isn't healthy. After 9 years it's time for a change (IMHO). Maybe the players are starting to tune McDermott out. Last week's no-show at Miami wasn't a good look.
Do you think the Bills are going to get to and eventually win a Super Bowl with Beane and McDermott as the GM/HC. After 9 years my answer is NO. The Eagles eventually moved on from Andy Reid, and he had more success in Philly than Sean has had here. IMHO it feels like a change is needed in the FO.
He definitely has a say, but Beane also has a say. Terry said that both men have equal power and only report to him so neither one of them is the boss of the other. They are both responsible for where this team is and sadly it appears to be declining this season.
This WR group is one of the worst if not the worst in the league. Shakir is a good player who should be #3 WR. He would make a great #3. The problem is he is the Bills #1 WR and he's not a #1. Kincaid is a nice player. He is not elite yet, but he is improving. I just wish he could stay healthy. As far as elite players from the skill positions on offense go its Allen and Cook. That's it.
We will see in these next 6 days if there is a battle for the division. Tampa and Houston are must wins. Gets them back to 8-3 and a game back of the Pats. Lose one of them and its hello WC assuming they make it.
The Bills will have no trouble filling the new stadium next year. Fans are going to want to check it out to see what a game is like there and what else the stadium has to offer since it will be 53 years since Bills fans got to experience a new stadium. Once the "shine" of the place wears off then they better have a competitive team at the prices they are charging otherwise hello empty seats.
If the worst case happens and they are 6-5 a week from tonight, then the pitchforks and knives will be out in full force for Beane and McDermott's heads.
Even if they don't make the playoffs, I think Terry will still give them 2026 to fix it. If year 1 in the new stadium is disappointing, then they might get fired or at the very least have their jobs on the line if 2027 isn't a good year.
