You've become a total charicature/screwball. Look it up. 93, 98,99,00, 03 and 06 were all at or under .500. That’s 6/15, nearly half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just shows what the true football IQ of this board is at...... It's always a good idea to give a coaching staff more then just one off-season to get things turned around. Rex walked into a job with a good defence and an offence that needed fixing. During his time here they didn't look like they were going to turn things around and now they have a coach and GM that are doing exactly what the fans were screaming for, to blow everything up and rebuild which is what they are doing. But since they can't just forfeit seasons until the build their team They have to balance the roster and try to compete while rebuilding. That's usually done by collecting picks and filling the roster with experienced veterans. This team has a large amount of picks in the next draft and will have roster space and some cap space to make some more changes for next year.

Elite Poster Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I liked to believe Sean was a big upgrade, but these losses are historically bad. We aren't this bad talent wise. It's coaching. One thing about Sean vs Rex that I really hate is he is taking no blame at all. Three days ago he said he made this decision by himself, and now he's not taking any blame at all for the historically bad performance by Peterman. I'm no longer in Buffalo due to work, and tomorrow is going to be brutal. So embarrassing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't getting outcoached on the field, they are getting outplayed. Thw defence cant and wont tackle, and the receivers cant make catches that receivers k other teams in the nfl routinely make. What player outside of McCoy and maybe Benjamin on offence would another team want thats probably an upgrade? On defence is there anyone outside of maybe Hyde? Dareus was playing so well and was in such a demand that the best they could get for him was a conditional 6th from a team who's coach had him at his best. They lack talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick the Greek Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Rex was different. We never got blown out like this under Rex. McD’s teams seem to quit. We’ve gotten DESTROYED 3 weeks in a row. We are quitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 This is not a team that's quit, it's a team being outmatched talent wise and not being able to stop the other team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a corollary how long did he stick around before he won a super bowl? that guy survived multiple seasons with kordell Stewart as qb ffs. That stability in the face of adversity is why they are who they are. They were consistently in the playoffs. Kordell Stewart went 11-5 one year. The hell are you talking about? That comparison makes 0 sense. Edited November 20, 2017 by Ol Dirty B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 The whole thing looks a mess at the moment. How many times this season does it look like they have flip flopped on their plan? - extending Tyrod and bringing back Kyle suggestd they wanted to compete this year - trading away Watkins and Darby suggested they were tearing things down and preparing for next year; - the way they played through 7 weeks suggested they were all in on 2017; - then trading Dareus suggested they were building for 2018; - then giving up picks for Benjamin suggested they were all in this year. It looks like two first timers making decisions based on the latest thing thing the happens and reacting rather than following a plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider anything from 7-9 to 9-7 the worst kind of failure. .500 is flea-infested taint territory, it’s the worst place a team can be for an extended period. Hairsplitting knuckleheads can argue it but to me anything less than 10 wins is a failure. If you’re gonna fail, fail with glory. edit: fat thumbs 18 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: The whole thing looks a mess at the moment.

Real McClappy Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Is anyone starting to believe the the curse of St. Doug Marrone is now real? Whaley n Doug were a McCoy and QB away from great things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 The biggest difference is the talent. They are who we thought they were. I thought before the season this defense would be one of the worst we have seen. That's exactly what they are. Rex had more talent and failed. McDermott and company decided to rebuild the defense rather than try to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
