Coach Tuesday

Can we trade ownership?

Most clueless owners in professional sports - they need to hire an intermediary because their products are a joke.

Don’t like the product? Vote with your dollars.

Anderson is Ortoning it down the field today - constantly throwing short of the sticks. He didn’t want to leave his couch and it shows.

McD is in serious hot water starting in January. This is a disaster.

McD may lose his job.

Team checked out after Clay’s fumble.

Poyer is a disgrace today.

Poor tackling = business decisions. Season is over and the players know it.

Poyer is having a horrible game - must’ve been up all night arguing with his wife.

No, I mean setting objective criteria by which to hold McBeane accountable and imposing clear consequences, such as the requirement that all further personnel decisions need to be vetted by an experienced football consultant.

Like they did with Jordan Matthews and Corey Coleman? I don’t disagree with you about what they SHOULD do but so far I have seen zero evidence that the Pegulas are holding McBeane accountable - and the decisions Beane and McD make suggest they (perhaps falsely) think they’re at the helm of a 5-6 year college program turnaround with full job security. That said, I fully expect Terry to snap out of his coma when Anderson predictably faceplants over the next few weeks.

Bills be listening to offers like...

They continue to kill it with scouting offense!

I wonder if the Dolphins would be interested. Rumor has it they're done with Tannehill.

Unreal that franchise. If they don’t trade him they’ve totally killed whatever confidence he had left.

Not a great look for Danny Crossman.

Still waiting for a breakdown of Allen's last play - the play right after he got injured. He threw in the dirt towards Zay, and was clearly hobbled by that point. But from my non-All 22 vantage point, Zay had a ton of room ahead of him and might have scored on the play, it would've been pretty epic. Anyone have it?

"beclowning" - EPIC word.

Hopefully this doesn't mean we have to go back in time to make out with our mom like McFly did. As if this season could get any worse.

There is no "almost" about it. Negligence is defined as the failure to adhere to the industry standard of care. As I've said elsewhere, the Bills constantly think they're smarter than everyone else - this goes back multiple regimes and multiple decades. And EVERY TIME they try to outsmart the rest of the league, they fail miserably - it blows up in their faces in embarrassing fashion. The QB situation in 2018 is no different (though it is remarkably similar to the Tuel/EJ fiasco). We have negligent owners hiring negligent GMs and coaches, and they're trying to sell us that this was the plan all along. It's a disgrace.

I mean, can we all step back for a minute and take in the sheer LUNACY of what is now happening? The Bills’ PR machine today was squirting out nuggets like it is a “blessing in disguise” for Allen to have a “front row seat” to watch DEREK ANDERSON. Are you effing kidding me? It is in NO WAY a blessing to have the highly-invested QB suffer a potentially career-altering injury - which was completely predictable (in fact, I predicted it three weeks ago here), nor will it help his development to sit and watch (from the “front row,” no less) a guy who is known for stat lines like 3-17 for 49 yards. Watching Derek Anderson play produces thoughts of suicide, it doesn’t help young QBs develop.

Again, so there is no misunderstanding about it: I predict that within 2-3 weeks we start hearing tangible reports that the owners are furious.

John, I don’t think you’re right about the soundness of the McBeane Khmer Rouge approach to the roster - but even if you are, I’m quite certain the owners didn’t sign up for it. You make it sound like the team is acting in concert pursuant to a settled script and that’s really where I think you go off the rails. There is simply NO WAY that the Pegulas thought they were stomaching a 4-5 year gut reno. McDermott acts like he’s at the helm of some cushy college program where he’s been assured enough time to wait for his first recruiting class to blossom into seniors and IMHO he is SORELY mistaken about that. Again, I have been saying this since August - many of us have - these are reactive owners who hate being embarrassed and are patient until all of a sudden they aren’t and I predict that the patience will run out sometime over the next two weeks when Anderson’s custard melts all over the field. It’s going to be awful football to watch, the fans are going to lose it and the owners are going to take notice and react. How what will all manifest itself vis-a-vis Pol Pot McBean remains to be seen but we will see cracks in the OBD facade, I can almost guarantee it.
