This is a pivotal moment for McD. And I think the circus has pretty much shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Literally never heard of this in over 50 years of football fandom. Obviously, Davis needs to be shown the door, officially. And I want Allen, not Kyle or Lorax or another aging vet in a "leadership role, nor any coach, to get up in front of that room and let everyone know in no uncertain terms that, for good or ill, this is our team. And if you don't want to be on our team, then get the F out of here right now and quit wasting everyone else's time. Gotta come from Josh Allen. It's never too early to make the team his. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklabel Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) The calls to fire McBeane continue as if they're frickin' fortune tellers and could see into the future that Vontae Davis wouldn't quit on them. He was signed on a one-year deal to see if he could get back to his earlier form and more likely, to provide a veteran presence in the DB room. Last week he was a healthy scratch and was upset about it. My guess, he missed some major assignments or just flat out played poorly and was told someone else would be taking his place in the second half. He disagreed, got PO'ed and quit. Yeah it's weird but it's clear that the guy didn't have it anymore and I wouldn't have been surprised if he had been cut sometime during the season anyway. Keep crying for constant house cleanings and you'll ensure that this team never becomes a contender. It takes time. It's a complete rebuild. 2018 is about building a young foundation for this team, giving them a season's worth of experience. They're eating dead cap because of deals made by former regimes. For years they've done these "soft rebuilds" or a "reset/recharge" and it kept them stuck in mediocrity. At a certain point, you gotta tear it all down and start over. And you can't fix it all in one season. If you wanna make an omelette, you gotta break a few eggs.

Perhaps Davis was upset that Frazier had the play calling duties yanked. Didn't Davis force a fumble in the 1st half? And the TD on him was a perfectly thrown ball by Rivers.

Davis quitting is ridiculous and shows they probably didn't do their homework on the guy. 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeginnersMind Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Well Vince Davis’s retirement worked. Bills only gave up 3 points in the team’s two quarters post retirement. In 6 quarters with him starting, they gave up 65. Addition by subtraction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
