Well I would hang up on them too if they questioned what I was doing as an NFL head coach by two radio hosts.

Didn't TB12 hang up on his weekly radio show not once, but twice? I remember once it was about his family and then his health whisperer Alex Guerrero--anyways, fail to see what the big deal is. If the questions asked are lacking in respect, professionalism or football substance, then I have zero issues with this (however, I don't have any idea what was actually asked or how).

[MRM33064]

Challenging the Head Coach (capital "H", capital "C") is NOT part of the process.   How DARE they ask questions on a Q&A show.

 

Coach McD never talked back to a Head Coach.  Just like Nate.  Nate gets it; that's why he's headed for the Pro Bowl - shows up on time, says "yes, Sir", doesn't talk back.  These radio guys with their fancy "numbers" and "analytics" and questions just don't get it.

Maybe he dials them up on demand to fuel his 4am mma workouts 

Maybe cut back on the workouts and start watching that Peterman film. He should have never been around to take that L yesterday.

So you don’t think he has any obligation to explain himself?  If radio hosts don’t have the right to ask him questions, who does?  Chris Brown?  Murph?

[Jauronimo]

I was 5 rows behind the Bills bench yesterday.  Take it for what its worth, but I saw almost no clapping from McD all game.  He's losing it.

Wtf, are Putin’s trollbot farms now descending on NFL fan message boards?

 

They're emboldened from getting Trump elected. The thought is they had done the near impossible with Trump's election, so now they're trying something superhuman and getting people to believe Peterman can be anything other than a punchline to a very sad joke.

Omg.  It’s part of the job.  As annoying as the media is, it’s what he gets paid for.  Asking why a guy who has the worst interception % in nfl history is not out of line.  

 

But trust the process and don’t ask me any tough questions.

Hanging up on the Buffalo Bills' flagship station apparently is now part of the process.

 

You all may recall how McCoach treated Sal in a press conference a few weeks back.  There appears to be a bit of a dark side to this guy . . . .

 

Here is the link to McCoach getting salty with Sal:

 

https://www.buffalobills.com/video/sean-mcdermott-time-to-move-forward

 

It begins about the 52 second mark. 

 

1) Sal asked what appears to be a fairly standard question;

 

2) McCoach gave him a really dirty look;

 

3) Sal for some reason said that he is sorry;

 

4) McCoach said next question;

 

5) McCoach gave him another dirty look and shook his head while taking the next question.

 

McCoach does not like to be questioned and may be feeling that his seat is getting hot . . . or at least warming up . . . .

Can’t wait for next weeks interview ???

[gobills1212]

Really? A disconnect gets a post saying he hung up?? I listened and didnt take that away at all. Seemed more like a technical issue. They said goodbye, and just didnt get the goodbye back. Much a do about nothing imo

Good for McDermott, this is the best coaching decision he made this weekend. I'd rather listen to finger nails screeching on a blackboard than to Mike Schopp's obnoxious babbling.

[frostbitmic]

Could be that McCoach knows that Peterman will get the axe tomorrow and he isn't happy.

I think that would be a more plausible interpretation if he hadn't been passive-aggressive during the entire segment.

[HappyDays]

Do people still listen to Schopp and the Bulldog? Who subjects themselves to that?

A disconnect? Please. They end the same way every single time. And McDermott is always courteous and makes sure to have a respectful end to the interview. He clearly heard the goodbye and just hung up. 

 

Also, of note, Schopp has been off the air since it happened and Bulldog just keeps taking phone calls awkwardly moving along.

That doesn't really qualify as a hang-up though more mildly rude than anything else.

Mcdermott won't last another 2 years here. he just can't cut it as an NFL coach. 

 

He won't get fired next offseason but i can see him getting axed mid season next year. He is officially on the hotseat if he trots out Peterman vs the colts 

 

No matter how much you wish, or spew dumb comments, unless McDermott quits, he will be the HC for at least three more seasons.

 

Buckle up, buttercup.

[JMF2006]

I made the mistake of tuning in at 3pm on the drive home( I know foolish me but all the classic rock stations were in commercials)

 

So it was basically a carry over from Friday...Cornfed isn't progressing and its time to draft another QB.

 

But how can we trust McD to draft and develop a new QB when he blew it with Peter beater and Cornfed?

 

F those two idiots saying crap like that when they know the Coach is coming on.

 

If I ever see them on the street I am going to bust them in the mouth

 

[KDIGGZ]

"Hi Schopp and Bulldog, this is Sean from Orchard Park. Long time listener first time caller. I think we should start Peterman on Sunday. I'll hang up and listen."

[zow2]

Didn’t think he hung up, the hosts just abruptly said, thanks Sean and then dead air.

 

But the interview was awkward from the start.  Schoop was snarky as usual and his very first question ended with something along the lines of why is Nate on the team and “what do you see in Peterman that nobody else sees”? 

So immediately that probably put McD on notice but he answered as vanilla as he could and was polite.

Keep chasing ghosts my man! 

Mountain,  meet this molehill

Also, you understand that when there is a tech issue or a disconnect that means the other person is no longer able to say goodbye qnd answer the silly question of 'do you have any questions for us?' right? Thus,  unable to end the same way as every other time lol

"McDermott hangs up on Schopp and Bulldog"

 

He was running late to his daily confessional with the team Preacher he insisted was necessary the team hire.

[Kelly the Dog]

I'm torn. I'm glad McD cut the goodbyes short, but for once Schopp and BD were absolutely right. Playing Peterman is actually insane. I don't know what to do.

Even if they were valid questions about how the team is playing?

 

Didn't sound like he hung up, but was definitely short with his responses.  

I didn't hear the interview so I can't say whether or not they were valid questions.  I'm sure Schoop probably phrased a few of them in a way to get under McD's skin since he likes to do that.

I think so.  I really don't care what they ask about either as long as it's relative to the team.

He's obligated to be on the show.  Do I want him to answer questions about the team, of course.  Am I going to get coach-speak, most definitely.

Again, haven't heard the interview but asking about Peterman being bad and expecting a "yea he really sucks and we're exploring the trade market for anything to help out QB situation" isn't going to happen.

I usually listen to the coach interview on the ride home every week. This one was different. There are others that noticed on Twitter and they even quickly mentioned that it felt like they were hung up on before going to break.

 

The interview will be made available in the vault. It's worth a listen. Maybe i'm blowing it out of proportion. But it seemed a very out of character interview with an abrupt end.

I think when answering the 1st question on Peterman he should not lead with "I saw some good things early on..." 

 

I'm not trying to be overly critical of McD...I don't want the guy fired, and despite his obvious blind spot for Peterman, I get that he really likes the kid...But come on...Read the room (or in this case the fan base) just a little bit...All he has to say is...regardless of any positives...it was not good enough...And move on...But instead, at least to me, it feels like he's being purposely stubborn about it...And that IS NOT going to go over well with this fan base...I'm really hoping McD is not making the mistake other HC's have before in underestimating this fan base and it's ability to see things for what they truly are, along with recognizing the bullspit when they hear it...

 

I REALLY hope he is not making that mistake, because that will kill him in Buffalo...Period...End of story...?

Yeah, the guy who brought the Bills to the playoffs for the first time in 17 years can't coach.  He has worked with Beane to clear out all the Whaley and Ryan mess and have built an elite defense and are loaded with money for next year to fix the offense. Amazing people forget he was a playoff coach in his first year. How many guys can say that.

Yeah, that mess of having good players and winning 7-9 games!  What heroes!

 

i mean they deserve credit for getting lucky and ending the drought but this offense has been unwatchable for 2 years.  Again, it all falls back on Allen. If he fails, they are done.

Just now, In Nate We Trust said:

Playing a guy who threw the first Bills passing TD in 13 quarters is insane? Does he have Joe Montana on the bench? You think there are a bunch of quarterbacks lining up to play with the worst offensive line and worst group of receivers in the NFL.

You cannot play QB in the NFL with any sustained success with a rag arm. You cannot do it. He has shown it over (Chargers) and over (Jaguars) and over (Ravens) and over (Texans). Of course he can throw a couple nice short passes to wide open guys when he has all day. But when you cannot throw a four yard out pattern across half the field you cannot play in this league. Period. And that is not his only liability. There are at least three more beauts.

McDermott acts like Andy Dalton throwing a miracle TD pass in a game the Bilsl weren't even in and almost winning a wild card game in Jacksonville makes him Bill Belichick.

 

 

 

I missed that “almost won game” in JAX, sure as heck wasn’t the one they put up 3 points
