I don’t know why people believe MCDermott is safe until next year, no matter what. He certainly doesn’t think so. He looks and acts like a dead man walking.

Agreed, huge opportunity missed, but if we can sneak into the playoffs, I think we have a real shot at making it to the Super Bowl…no Bengals, Chiefs seem diminished, and we’ve always played well against Baltimore and Miami.

Not even debatable

It’s not. We play another backup this week and then three tough games. That’s it. The schedule has nothing to do with us being 5-5. If we actually had a tough schedule we’d be 3-7.

Brutal schedule???? They’ve lost to Zack Wilson, the corpse of Russ Wilson (at home) and Mac Jones, and they tried their damndest to lose to Tyrod Taylor. The Bills have had an EASY schedule this year, up to this point. They’ve played three good teams.

Reminded me of the halftime interview in Cincinnati…I thought he was going to cry.

Guilty and Not Guilty. Guy looks like a nervous and incoherent wreck at the podium...not that he was ever particularly articulate or interesting as a speaker.

There is absolutely no evidence to support this statement. Plenty of Sunday and Monday games are duds too. No reason to believe that Thursday night games are any better or worse. And at any rate, what are your criteria for determining whether a game is good or bad, other than the obvious criteria that non-competitive blowouts suck? There are only so many games you can watch on any given Sunday. Moving one of those many games to Thursday night is a win-win. No downside whatsoever.

Even worse…

I’d go one step further…he’s acting like a coach who is afraid of losing the locker room, if he hasn’t lost it already. Once that happens, a coach can’t be salvaged. McDermott had some goodwill in the bank coming into this season, but it’s eroding fast….

McDermott is acting like a guy who is under a lot of pressure and is not handling it very well. Not a good look for the franchise.

I just don’t understand football fans complaining about the fact that there is football on TV on a night when there didn’t used to be any.

Par for the course for a garbage organization.

What would you rather watch on Thursday nights?

And that is the firing offense, although I don’t actually think Josh has been destroyed…just damaged and badly used.

I don’t know why you think that’s “much more plausible.” If they miss the playoffs, McDermott is gone. I think he could even be fired in-season, depending on the circumstances.

Pretty sure McDermott is on the verge of losing the locker room and a few more brutal losses will seal that deal. Don’t think 12-men on the field and the benching of Cook went over too well in the locker room. What we are watching is not a one-year anomaly, but a mounting pile of evidence, going back to 13-seconds and the last few games of last season, that McDermott is incapable of getting this team over the hump. Brady is his only hope.

Let me simplify that for you: Brady succeeds and Bills make the playoffs (McDermott stays) or Brady can’t turn the offense around, McDermott is gone and Bills hire an offensive-centric HC. Even more simple: Brady succeeds, McDermott stays; Brady fails, bye-bye Clapper

Your low standards are showing. Some of us are not satisfied with "being relevant" and I damn sure hope Beane and Pegula aren't either. McDermott has proven that he can't get it done. And of course, hiring a current NFL HC is far from the only option. This year alone at least two teams have hit homeruns by hiring young up-and-coming coordinators. At the end of the season, the Bills will have their pick of potential new head coaches...it's not often a vacancy comes along complete with a certified franchise QB.

Low expectations are probably a good thing at this point. Mine are somewhat higher than they would have been if no change had been made…

Landslide...

I don't know exactly what happened, or who did what, but the number 1 job of the Bills coaching staff and front office is/was to develop, nurture and maximize the franchise's rarest and most valuable asset...they have totally failed at that task. Dorsey's departure is, hopefully, the first step to holding them accountable.

Now that people are finally being held accountable, can we get rid of Martin?

It's a start...

Targeting Harty on a deep out was ridiculous to begin with. Just seems like this offense is built on a lot of low percentage throws….absolutely nothing is easy. There is something fundamentally wrong with this scheme.
