The !@#$ style of team do you think McDermott is trying to build? Do you remember his introductory presser? It's just not even worth it with some of you. they made numerous trades to get a quarterback. Not sure what you are referring to in McDermotts intro press conference. He may of said whatever he said because he had Tyrod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotton Fitzsimmons Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 It’s a very peculiar trend in that the team doesn’t always lose... sometimes McDermott’s team shows up out of nowhere and lays the wood like in Minnesota. Last year after getting ass paddled by the Jets, Saints, and Chargers in consecutive weeks, YE OLE was convinced they wouldn’t win another game all year. And they were losing in such magnificent fashion that you actually had to at least start to entertain the idea that McDermott might get canned after only a year. Then they went in to KC and won. Under McDermott, the wins at Atlanta, KC, and Minnesota are all as impressive as the blowouts have been ridiculous. It’s easy to say this is the worst team in the league and start piling on again, but I think the truth is they’re still a middle of the pack team that rarely plays that way. They either play way above or below that level on any given week. What will be concerning moving forward is if this roster is built out and gets significantly better, will they still have these wild swings under McDermott? 20+ games into his tenure here, it’s hard to say all of this is a fluke and not a trend at this point.

Its more like filler until they do get their guys. This team has been through the 6-10 to 8-8 years for over a decade. It gets the team nowhere because they have almost no chance at getting any stars in the draft. If all they can do is get around average guys then they have to spend the hell out of the salary cap on just a few players. This team has been there, done that. Maybe you don't like watching this team be a dumpster fire... truth is I don't like WATCHING it either. At the end of it though, I know its for the better. Next season they ought to have a really good draft and pick up some FA's as well. We should be able to be competitive from game to game next year. That's assuming Allen progresses and this staff knows what its doing. The following year they should be able to start competing for real. If not then its time to fire some people. Roster purge is bang on analysis. Look at the Browns now, they went and got some weapons, drafted their QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise this stat means absolutely nothing Agreed On 10/1/2018 at 5:58 PM, K-GunJimKelly12 said: This is a good post. It's one thing to lose, it's another thing to constantly get your ass handed to you. I am really starting to wonder how much more I can take. Between the game being worse than it ever was and the never ending sucktitude of the Bills, why do I even bother watching. There is a different guy every week throwing 5 or 6 TD's. Four guys are currently on pace to break Peyton Manning's passing record. Refs are progressively having a larger impact on games. The game is pure trash right now. Goodell has let the actual game on the field go to ****. I think I might be done with the whole thing soon. I have not watched (on TV or live) 3 Bills games this Century. 2 last year because I was travelling in Germany. This year I have watched about an hour of the Bills games combined. And, no other football. The game has gotten too silly to watch for me currently. And, I am enjoying doing other things with my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he was hired it was looking like they wouldn't keep Tyrod. He had no bearing on McDermott saying they want to play defense and run the ball. The guy is another coach stuck in the 70s mentality that we have hired. It's cold, windy, run the ball. It's stupid antiquated nonsense. 18 minutes ago, Crayola64 said: No reason?

They weren't really in cap hell until they created all the dead money. But by all means, go along with the narrative these arrogant clowns sell you. It's insulting to our intelligence when they say **** like this, but some people believe them. So I guess I don't blame them.

I was happier then words can describe when we ended the drought last year. It had to be done. The drought was a dark cloud hanging over the Bills and it needed to be destroyed. We all deserved to see the playoffs and McDermott got us there. For the 2017 season alone, I am forever grateful. I also realize this was supposed to be a step back and a“rebuilding year” Still, I cant help but feel concerned. Being blown out in more the 1/4 of your games is not supposed to happen. Losing is one thing. Being non competitive in almost 30% of your games is a whole different animal. Im not sure how that will change. I am willing to give this guy the benefit of the doubt because of last year, but I am growing more nervous by the week. Glass 1/2 full: soooo we DIDN'T get blown out in 3/4 of our games. Have you seen the roster?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem was Rex and then him with his fat brother the following year. Even the 2016 team while not as talented as the prior two years was still solid. McBeane gutted the roster because they wanted to. It wasn't necessary at all. Rex loves that he has a brother that can be classified as the fat one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
