Billsfanatic8989 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 "Sean, fans want to understand. What do you see in him we don't"? Question asked in sarcastic tone while belittling Nathan. Almost saying "How dare you start Petterman!! Us fans don't get it". "When you are reflecting on decisions you make, such as keeping him on the roster, do you go back and evaluate your decision" In otherwords, they want McD to come out & admit he was an idiot for starting him. The way they asked these questions was ignorant. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it for what its worth, but I saw almost no clapping from McD all game. He's losing it. And I was six rows behind the bench and I got real worried when Peterman started warming up. Also why didn’t coach Mcd tell him not to throw the ball when the game was tied with a minute 40 left. We could’ve tried to run it and work our way down to the field goal area. Poor coaching!

Jpsredemption Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I find myself over the years agreeing a lot with Schopp. He's generally logical and doesn't buy into momentum type logic etc. ..but he goes way too far with the culture stuff and won't give it up that each coach must set guidelines and boundaries. He totally oversimplifies leadership (signs of someone who has no leadership experience). Am I Seans biggest advocate? No. I do think he feels rightfully disrespected, however. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 In retrospect McDermott's cagey answers make sense because he knew that Allen is out for a few weeks and he's stuck with Peterman for a while. They should sign Landry Jones to the practice squad though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popcornpam Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 The coach makes millions of dollars if he can’t stand the heat in the kitchen then get out of being an NFL head coach and go back to being a defensive coordinator. Peterman should’ve been cut weeks ago. They should’ve picked up a qualified back up weeks ago. They seem very negligent towards trying to improve the offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livi38 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I believe Schopp is an arrogant, belittling jerk. And for the first time, I respect him for not hiding it with a "high" profile guest. Still completely inappropriate, but at least he didn't hide it. Usually he holds that for callers that he thinks he is better than. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how guys say “We should have picked up another QB” or “Should have signed that guy”. You understand it’s a two way street right? The “qualified” QB you speak of has to: 1) Want to play in the NFL or possibly retire (Derek Anderson) and 2) Want to play for the Bills or hold out for a possible starting gig and 3) There has to be an agreement re. $$.

He's got that, I've been there, done that, seen it all, this is how you do it, earning the right to win everyday mentality. He's seen it all, he's thought of everything. But his team has been bashed in 3 out of 6 games, and the guy he picked as starting QB has thrown up on himself 4 of the 5 times he's seen the field (Chargers, Jaguars, Ravens, Texans). Which is what happens when you're earlier in a rebuild and dealing with a rookie QB always thought to need a lot of development and at the same time dealing with a horrible salary cap situation left to you by the last administration that you promised the owners you'd correct by the end of your second year ... which is fast approaching. This year was always going to look bad. Many on here wanted to pretend that wasn't so, but it was always the likely outcome unless Josh Allen somehow started playing like a veteran ... again, extremely unlikely from minute one. It might have been a bit better with a better veteran QB. But McCarron sucked and they didn't have the cap money to get someone better.

I respect your posts from over the years, i do. But how hot can the water possibly get from a year that is essentially a tredding water year for development? Im obviously a Bills fan - but I, as it seems most pundits expected a step back this year in order for a step forward. 2 wins didnt change that. Its like saying a painting looks like crap half way through. If after next season there arent strides - fine. But if anything, he has gotten more out of teams than expected. Unless you had them pegged for a deep superbowl run this year, why is this even a thing? He has his young D with a few vets mixed with old and young scrubs playing out of their minds and the worst talent on the other side of the ball possibly in the league (half of whom wont be here next year) and has gotten enough for 2 wins. Kinda polishing a turd. Dont get me wrong, its not good enough on O, but its also far from a finished product. Perspective is important. Not everything is or needs to be a fireable offense.
