    McDermott wants a ‘nastier edge’ to his Defense post Frazier

    You keep posting the same ***** if you think that McDermott is going anywhere, you’re insane he’s not going to fire a winning coach
     

    This isn’t madden

    So I just wanna point out what you said just makes no sense
     

    You admit that McDermott has had defenses that had bully mentality yet you think that McDermitt is to blame that McDermott doesn’t have a defense that has a big bully mentality

     

    Which is it?

    It’s what got him his job here in Buffalo. He was very good for the Panthers.
     

    Maybe him taking over the defense of playcalling is what we need

     

    I mean, I would get it why he would not want to do that being a head coach is about delegating authority. You’re the overseer of everything but you’ve got an offensive and defensive coordinator to manage their parts of the game and then you oversee them kind of like the dealer is overseen by the pit boss and the pit boss is over seed by the pit manager and the pit manager is over seed by then casino manager 

     

    But

     

    We are in a situation where we have gotten very close for a few years now, but not been able to seal the deal. I am sure McDermott is feeling the heat a little bit of that.

    Yes ... the Coach sets the tone and structure for the whole operation.  He is the "CEO" and everything is a reflection of his direction.  That's why it's so maddening to me with him always saying ... we have to "trust the process" .. or "we have to learn" etc.  It's why we're 6 years into his time and are spinning our wheels up to a certain point.  When other teams such as Philly, with a 2nd year head coach, just build a team that goes and makes it to the Super Bowl ... or a team like the 49ers who would just kick the living crap out of us.  They don't "learn" ... they just build teams that are nasty and go out and beat you in the face (with less talented QB's than we have).  I think it was (either) Michael Robinson or Ladanien Tomlinson on NFL Network who said it best ... Buffalo isn't going to get there until they learn how to get out of their own way mentally.  This is a reflection of McD and his brand of leadership

    But that begs the question, why wasn't McDermott insisting a certain style of Defense be called from his coordinator and the side of the ball that's his expertise? At the end of the day, this all goes back to McD and his shortcomings as a top level leader and why we can't get over the hump.  You have to look "under the hood"

    Aphasia is, more than anything, cruel. Bruce Willis retired due to it. To be able to mostly understand and WANT to communicate but not be able to physically is so heartbreaking.


    Add this to the laundry list of tribulations the team endured… of course I’m disappointed we aren’t playing this weekend, but at some point enough is enough. More than anything I hope the city/team/players get to next year with some time to put all the craziness of 2022 behind them.

     

    Kim, I wish you the best and hope you continue to recover. Thank you for all you’ve done and continue to do for this team.

     

    My folks have a neighbor with aphasia ... it is TERRIBLE

    If Frazier returns, how much will your enthusism die?

    Expecting we keep Frazier … What IF all of a sudden they adjust their defensive approach to a more aggressive and unpredictable style? My concerns are that we’d still find a way to come up empty and heartbroken, because we’re always “learning” and a day late and a dollar short on figuring things out.  This is “the process”, keep learning, keep getting better, and it eventually “works out”. We’re punch drunk on “the process” while other great teams know what it takes and just plow over us

    Question about the origins of The Bills Maffia

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted · Edited by drummernut74

    It started as a result of a dropped pass in the end zone from Ryan Fitzpatrick to Stevie Johnson in a game against Pittsburgh.  Adam Schefter made a controversial remark that prompted an in jest Twitter comment by local Buffalonian (and friend of mine from High School) Del Reid  to the effect of ... that "the Bills Mafia is going to come after you".  Just a total random moment that took on a life of its own
