Coach Tuesday

Clear PI

STRONG post

Play clock had run - I think we have the Barkley/McCown officiating team today..,

Ducasse played well to start the season and has gradually reverted to horrible. Not a good look for Castillo.

I’m sure the NFL is psyched about having to promote a Barkley/McCown matchup mid season - it’s one thing in late December when audiences’ attentions are distracted but my goodness, this is not a good look for pre-Thanksgiving professional football.

It’s not that I think McD is a bad coach - he’s a good coach. But his skill set - being able to coach up a rather vanilla defense - is simply not as valuable as a coach who understands the modern game, preferably with a focus on offense. If they could get a high pick for McD they should do it - but they won’t, because the Pegulas strike me as the insecure type who would feel vindicated by getting such an offer - and would turn it down.

Last year I would’ve done it for a 1st! ?

Honestly, I was going to start a thread last week exploring the idea of trading McDermott - weirder things have happened. If the Browns were dumb enough to give us a 2nd round pick for the rights to McCoach, would you do it? I would.

Is it me or is Haskins playing like a UDFA right now?

Ok but Allen aside, it's clear he mis-handled the QB position as a group this offseason - he basically admits that he "learned his lesson." And it's also clear that, despite the financial handicap they're in and the mortgaging of 2018 draft picks for Allen, they did NOT expect to be this bad on offense. They just didn't - and that's on them. There were alternatives to having zero speed at the WR position and a bunch of scrub offensive linemen who can't run a standard play without colliding with each other - there were other ways to go about it. They just screwed it up.

"We're not trying to tank, it just looks that way because of the decisions we made." "We didn't bungle the QB position, but oh boy, I sure learned my lesson about how not to run a QB competition in camp." Amazing.

Guess he has that "it" factor.

This is a thread?

Yes and yes. He's the same size/profile as Ray Ray, whom I think McD now hates. Although now that Croom fumbled yesterday, Ray Ray may be out of the doghouse.

But that's what he does - he spends most of his day here, and most of that time is spent complaining about the other fans with whom he's choosing to spend his time.

Okay. I would like, just ONCE in 2018, a Bills receiver to fight for a contested ball. So far I haven't seen it from any of these clowns, Pryor included.

Apparently this counts as whining. You are a snowflake, Dave. Please take your hurt feelings elsewhere.

You know what's worse than "whining" about the state of the Bills? Whining about your fellow fans. Especially if you happen to spend what seems like 20+ hours of your day online with them, even if you're logging on from your mom's basement.

Yes. Thank you.

If you don’t like the product stop paying for it - it’s that simple.

Would preparation really help?

I mean, by what objective criteria do folks think the Pegulas will be judging these two? Did making the playoffs last year buy them four years of sucking?

Yes, getting blown out at home is exactly what the Bills were aiming for.

You keep doing your thing old man - it’s the same tired routine every post. Meanwhile, Beane deserved to be fired on Wednesday and he still deserves it. This season is no one’s “plan” - it’s a disgrace. These rookie owners should stop hiring rookie GMs.

Bruce Arians is really the only one. And his situation was anomalous - he wasn’t exactly fired, so much as he wasn’t retained after serving as interim head coach.
