THE ROCKPILE REVIEW - On Scapegoats and Five and Five
Bill from NYC replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall
McDermott needs to be shown the door. He fails at game management and he is even worse at team building, starting with his firsrt draft. You remember, right? The one in which he traded away the Mahomes pick to KC, was undercompensated, and then drafted a cornerback instead. Yeah, that one. He sold Pegula a bill of goods with his co-opted term "process" and Pegula ate it up and gave him WAY too much power.. What are we now? A floundering team with talent, getting spanked by inferior teams. Ya think perhaps the head coach might be a little bit to blame? Please. Btw, you seem to paint Bills Fans who are sick of McDermott's stale act as irrational. I disagree. Long time Bills fans are well able to spot disaster when we see it. Lord knows we have seen enough of it. How you can defend McDermott is really beyond my comprehension but of course, the above is jmo. -
Mike Norvell - the coach you didn't know you wanted
Bill from NYC replied to LeGOATski's topic in The Stadium Wall
Not THE greatest accomplishment imo. I view the ACC (especially looking at Clemson) as pretty weak. Then again, how many conferences improved this season? -
is there a HC out there worth going after?
Bill from NYC replied to dbfla10's topic in The Stadium Wall
I don't disagree but would Daboll be worse than McDermott? -
Who was behind the decision to fire Dorsey?
Bill from NYC replied to The Helmet of's topic in The Stadium Wall
McDermott doesn't need "counsel" from Beane, who he hired, or at least got hired. McDermott needed another scapegoat after Frazier. Now he has one on both sides of the ball. Next will probably be the special teams coach. McDermott is a flim-flam artist. A shoe salesman with a great line of s%#t. If Pegula fires him tonight he will have waited too long. It is time for Pegula to rid the Bills of McDermott and his second rate soft shoe vaudville act. -
Everybody's runnin' and no one makes a move Well, everybody's a winner And nothing left to lose There's a little yellow idol to the north of Katmandu Everybody's flying and no one leaves the ground Well, everybody's crying and no one makes a sound There's a place for us in movies You just gotta lay around Nobody told me there'd be days like these Nobody told me there'd be days like these Nobody told me there'd be days like these Strange days indeed Most peculiar, mama

Everybody's got a thing But some don't know how to handle it Always reachin' out in vain Just takin' the things not worth having But don't you worry 'bout a thing Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama 'Cause I'll be standin' on the side When you check it out, oh

Should The Strength and Conditioning Coaches Get Fired?
Bill from NYC replied to OutOfBubbleGum's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yes. We should also get rid of the beer and hot dog vendors, and give vicious verbal warnings to the ushers, but let's keep the great McDermott!!! -
Question for Bills Fans: Who do you think was the most responsible for Firing Dorsey? A) Mr. Pegula B) Beane C) McDermott I am of the very strong opinion that Mr. Pegula gave the power to McDermott to make moves like this, AND gave him final say wrt the draft. I also think that he was the one to fire Frazier. Jmo but curious as to what others think.
-
Maybe the next time we fumble a punt, McDermott will fire the special teams coach. A sack? Perhaps he will ditch the OL coach McDermott is the main problem and has been for quite some time. PS: This is NOT to say that Dorsey deserved to stay.
-
Not that Dorsey deserved to stay but now, he and Frazier are the scapegoats. Who's next? The real problem is McDermott, and the way he manages and constructed the team. I have said it for years, McDermott has FAR to much power in the organization, and just isn't up to the task. He needed to be fired before last night, and getting rid of him in a prompt manner would be a great step forward for our beloved franchise.

I remember, the thirty-five sweet goodbyes When you put me on the Wolverine up to Annandale It was still September When your daddy was quite surprised To find you with the working girls in the county jail I was smoking with the boys upstairs when I Heard about the whole affair I said oh no William and Mary won't do Well I did not think the girl Could be so cruel And I'm never going back To my old school

Saban has been using that term for decades. It is in his unauthorized biography (dated 2015) and he has been using and employing the term before he even got to Alabama. That said, you may be correct about the 76er guy. I don't know, but perhaps both of us can agree that McDermott parades around as if he invented the word "process." McDermott imo is a flim flam man. And btw, I think that the "process" seems to have worked fairly well in Alabama.

Do the Pegulas Have What It Takes?
Bill from NYC replied to Milanos Milano's topic in The Stadium Wall
Very sad but quite true. -
Texas A&M just paid over 75 million dollars to get rid of Jimbo Fisher, who I think is more of a football guy than McDermott. Imo McDermott is primarily a self serving salesman. McDermott sold Pegula a line of s#%t with the "process" term that he co-opted from Nick Saban. Pegula bit like a fish and gave him the big majority of, if not full power in the organization. Now we are stuck with poor performance, questionable free agent signings, limited cap space, and lousy, primarily defense based drafts. It is way past time to fire McDermott. He should have already been booted out the door, or at least had much of his power taken away. At this point, he should be fired today or later this week. Sorry folks, jmo.

I don't miss the funky attitudes And I don't miss the fights I lie on the couch 'til suppertime And hunker down and read the Post And that's when I remember the things I miss the most The talk The sex Somebody to trust The Audi TT The house on the Vineyard The house on the Gulf Coast These are the things I miss the most

Buffalo Bills and Crimson Tide. This combo consists of pain and pleasure. The thing is, it makes it tough on Diana in terms of going anywhere during football season. She gets annoyed when she asks me to go somewhere and I have to check schedules to see if one of the teams has a bye week, and/or what time the games are. She starts out patient but I can tell that she is annoyed by this time of the season. Truthfully, I can't blame her. I DID take her to Tuscaloosa for the Arkansas game and she really did enjoy it. Next season I want to take her to Buffalo to see the Bills (we love Williamsville) and another Alabama game. Life is good.

Whatever you do, do NOT stay at the Tropicana!!!!! I stayed there last year and it was actually my first trip to Vegas. I unknowingly went on draft week (you know, the one in which we took Elam). I chose The Trop because it is owned by Hilton. I'm an honors member and I have lots of points and never had one bad experience at any Hilton owned place. Well, the hotel was filthy, and the air conditioner was blowing hot air. We complained and a guy came up and changed the filter and left black s%$t all over the carpet. When I got home I complained so much that they gave me 50,000 points. Other than breakfast, the food sucked. Now the good news. I liked the MGM and New York, New York (same owner). There is a Gallagher's Steak House in NY, NY. It was the best Rib Eye I have ever tasted. It is one of the oldest steak houses in NYC and it is superb. I told the manager how much I enjoyed it and he gave us each a complimentary piece of GREAT cheese cake. One night we wanted Mexican. A cab driver in front of the hotel recommended a place and it was very good. It is called Bonito Michoacan, located on 3715 South Decatur Blvd., off the strip but not in a bad neighborhood. The food was very good and the portions were huge. I ordered 1 beer and it was so big that I couldn't finish it. I would go back there if I ever return to Vegas. Hth.

Sometimes I think it's a shame When I get feeling better, when I'm feeling no pain Sundown, you better take care If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs Sundown, you better take care If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs Sometimes I think it's a sin When I feel like I'm winning, when I'm losing again

Oh well. It's time for Walter Nolen to come to Alabama. I thought we had him this year until Jimbo bought him out.

The Rise of the Two High Shell & Its Impact on the Bills
Bill from NYC replied to BarleyNY's topic in The Stadium Wall
Excellent post. The only things I will add is that if we had better receivers after Diggs, they would get more attention from defenses and this would help the running game. Also, a previous poster mentioned how insufficient resources were devoted to the offensive line. This certainly hinders running and passing, but that is what we got and will continue to get with McDermott running the show.
