I have to give credit to McDermott for making this move. When I heard on Sunday and Monday that he was sticking with Taylor, I thought he was just another one of the past Bills coaches (during this 17 year drought) that was gutless and clueless. After having a couple of days to sleep on it, McDermott realized he needed to make a change and finally acted upon it. I don’t feel this is a panic move similar to Wrecks firing Greg Roman last year either. The team looked awful the past two weeks, the offensive system was not built to suit Taylor, so it was time to make a decision. With the Bills at 5-4 and still in the playoff mix, it was time to make a move that could keep the team alive in the playoff race, otherwise with the team looking the way it has been, they would have been lucky to win another game.
I’m not drinking the koolaid or “trusting the process,” I’m just glad a decision was made and that the Bills weren’t just going to stand put and keep trying to do the same thing over and over and expect a different result.
