No matter what he's ever done on the field, he will now always be remembered as a quitter. F him......gutless move.

VW82 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) 6 minutes ago, RyanC883 said: Your throwing a bunch of stuff at the wall hoping something sticks. Peterman played MUCH better in preseason than Allen. He started game 1. When it was clear that he is a preseason/practice player, he switched to Allen. That's called GOOD decision making. The D was better in the second half because McD took-over play calling. Good, that's leadership, and the D was better as a result. Davis quitting has nothing to do with this. Read Davis' twitter. Also, Bean, not McD got Davis. And Davis was terrible in preseason and perhaps told he wasn't starting the 2nd half. The anti-McD narrative is hilarious. This is a rebuilding year. Sure give McD credit for knowing when to pull the plug but it's also more than fair to question his decisions to have Peterman and Fraser in those roles in the first place given their performance. McD is above Beane in the pecking order. He's at least approving roster decisions if not making them in the first place. You can't umbrella every mistake this regime makes by just saying they're rebuilding. Edited September 16, 2018 by VW82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This regime also made the playoffs last year, but some seem to cherry-pick the bad decisions. Frazier had a good track record as a D-coordinator, and I don't think it was a bad decision to start Peterman--who had a great preseason, over a rookie QB, behind an abysmal O-line, in the first game. I'd rather have a coach like McD that makes corrections and moves forward than a stubborn coach who sticks by his initial decisions hoping to be proven right at some point.

stevewin Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 1 hour ago, Rico said: There may be better links out there, but here's the first one I found: http://www.billsbackers.com/122703.htm Ruben Brown A No-Show Another element came to light before the game with the Patriots when it was announced that Ruben Brown was "excused" from the game. Bills coach Gregg Williams said that "personal reasons" were the factors that determined that they would allow him to miss his first game after playing 71 straight. Bills GM Tom Donahoe emphasized that Brown was not suspended, but "inactive." Rumors have come out of One Bills Drive that Brown was unhappy with Bills offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride and the play calling all season. In fact, one source claimed that Brown confronted Gilbride during the week. Brown did not practice all week with the Bills and said on his radio show early in the week that it would have been hard for him to get motivated playing the last game of the season. This comes at a time when the Bills needed some final stand, one last show of support for not only their coach, who is likely to get fired next week, but also for pride. What Brown did to the Bills and his teammates was to abandon ship. He had enough of the coaching staff and decided to make a statement to everyone by quitting on the team. Brown, who was voted to the Pro Bowl for the 8th straight year, may have played his last game in a Bills uniform last week against Miami. Anyone who contributed to the firing of GW gets a pass from me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have a coach like McD that makes corrections and moves forward than a stubborn coach who sticks by his initial decisions hoping to be proven right at some point. Yeah I was really impressed with McD last year. He won a lot of leeway with me, but he's also definitely given some of it back this year. I'm sorry but if you're one bad half from permanently pulling your QB then you should have had a third guy on the roster. And if your response is "well they tried and McCarron sucked" then you have some major pro personnel department issues. Same argument with Fraser. It's not like McD didn't have a whole year working with the guy last year to figure out if he was the right guy to call plays. Now we're two games in and his knees have been cut out from under him. Again, I'm glad McD isn't afraid to admit his mistakes (at least privately. Ha.) but it's still fair to question the initial decisions. He's left himself open for criticism IMO.
