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.

 

Well lets just check the timeline on that.....3 more years( after this one)to find out if Cornfed is an NFL QB.

 

Coach McD has 4 more years left so we have a match

New England fans are laughing at this..

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. 

Peterman was the only option??  Anderson just walked into the team 2 days ago he was deactivated......the crappy QB decisions made is just catching up with this team........the results well we see it most of time every sunday now......now if McDipsh@t actually puts Peterman in this weekend than i hope his seat starts boiling!

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 . . . .

What did Sal ask? Hard to tell

[GreatComeback]

Funny thing was that Schopp was off the show for the final 20 minutes.  Something went down - either his boss was pissed, or Derek Boyko was on the other line.  

 

To his credit, I didn’t think Mike was any more snarky than he usually is.  He didn’t really go too far or hammer McDermott.

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 

yaaaa!

He shouldn't have kept Peterman on the team last year. He shouldn't have started him against the Chargers. He shouldn't have kept him on the team after the Chargers. He shouldn't have kept him on the team before this season. He shouldn't have started him against the Ravens. He should have brought in a vet after the Chargers and after the Ravens. He shouldn't have kept him after the Ravens. 

 

None of those are hindsight either. I and others here said them before they happened. He shouldn't have put himself in the position of having to play him. It was gross negligence.

Just listened.

 

McD did not "hang up" on them, per se.

 

The interview was over and Mike Schopp said "All right Sean, thanks!"

 

And then McD just hung up the phone without saying "you're welcome" or anything else.

 

They then went to break.

 

I listen to these guys all the time and this segment every week.  There was an uneasy tension running throughout this entire conversation and McD was not his usual self.  He was a little short at times.

 

Mike Schopp is VERY HARD on McD and the team in general; I suspect word has finally gotten back to McD about this and McD knows much more about what Mike Schopp says about him than Sean would ever let on publicly.

 

The interview got off to a bad start with Mike Schopp's very first question.  He basically asked something like "what do you see in Nate Peterman and like that the rest of us don't." 

 

I thought that was pretty edgy, much more so than Mike Schopp normally is in these things...and I think it just set McD off for the entire thing.

 

Pretty entertaining overall.  The question now is how does this impact the rest of their segments for the season and will this be addressed at all, next week.

 

We can only hope!  I'll have my popcorn ready.

Yes thats what i mean......they made their bed and now they are realizing the garbage they created hence why he appears very touchy at the subject beign raised frequently.....as it should.....its an embarasement all around......

His love for Peterman is !@#$ing incredible.

 

 

No, it's not incredible at all. It's actually a bit scary if you ask for me. I don't get it. Character, what you do in practice, and being a "good teammate" don't count for sh*t if you're out there costing your team games. That is EXACTLY what he did yesterday.

I agree....You need to listen to the Bills postgame show.  Schopp basically said “What has McDermott done that’s actually good?”  He called him out and made it sound like he (Schopp) knew more than he did.  IMO he came off like a real ass.  Much much worse than today.  

 

I can bet that McDermott who was in bad mood, got word of these comments.  

 

To make matters worse, Mike was off the show for the final segment.  Something went down either on the station or with the Bills for them not to wait until after the show.  

[Wayne Arnold]

If true then McDermott deserves a five-year extension.

[TheFunPolice]

We will see how good this defense really is when they play NE on MNF

 

If they hold Brady and co to less than 27 I will be very impressed. Less than 24 and I will start to believe that they are truly elite, as opposed to Jim Schwartz elite, which means "elite" until you face a good offense then you can't force a punt the entire game.

 

That said, they have tons of cap space and lots of draft picks next year. They could draft WR/TE in rounds 1 and 2 as well as sign a WR in free agency and it's a totally different conversation.

Agreed...And I'm pretty much a McBeane supporter...But in this case both hosts asked the questions they HAD to ask and did it in a respectful enough way...

 

Who know what is going on behind the scenes with McD today...He's in a spot with Peterman and he obviously knows it...But I don't think he handled it as well as he could have...?

He asked if the udfa punter they had in camp who had torn is acl in the Browns preseason game the night before was going to get an injury settlement 

[TheFunPolice]

Sal is the most sympathetic homer on the radio so it was odd that McDermott was so hostile toward him....

I did listen to the post game show yesterday, and yes, Schopp was very critical of McD.  He has been like that for a week or 2 now. His criticism has increased in intensity, no doubt.

 

I am listening to the remainder of Hour 3 from their show today as I type, and I see what you mean about Schopp not being around.  

 

The interview with McD ended, and S&B went to break pretty quickly.  After the break, Schopp was magically not there.  I didn't really notice for a while until reading your comments!  But it's just all Bulldog talking and taking phone calls.  No comments from Mike Schopp.

 

I wonder if McD initiated a call with Schopp, or vice versa, during the commercial break after their segment, and it blew up into some big thing and Schopp was not available.

 

I will continue to listen to Hour 3 and Hour 4 and try to figure out what happened.

This is definitely some entertaining stuff!

Dealing with those two fugnutz is not a yardstick for a good coach.

I don’t think he did either.  This is pro sports and crap like this comes with the territory.  You have to expect the media is going to speculate, second guess you and ask dumb questions and you need to let it go.

 

I am no fan of Schopp but thought he was professional and asked tough questions.  He was a bit arrogant and condescending but he always is.  Definitely not likeable, but not out of bounds.

Yeah a back up Gatorade squirter. He sucks giant nuts .

[LSHMEAB]

My honest assessment is that Sean McDermott has the ability to be a top level HC. That will never happen with Allen.

 

Since the draft, I've wondered if there was any chance in the world McDermott would get a second QB.

 

[loedward22]

Schopp being absent for the half hour after the interview is what I find most interesting.  This interview is arranged for between the Bills and WGR.  One possible explanation for Schopp's absence following the interview is that McDermott has even more power within the organization than I previously thought.  There was absolutely nothing wrong with the questions they had for McDermott today.  His hanging up was out of line.

[Returntoglory]

All these idiot's do (Schoop ESPECIALLY) are ridicule the Bills organization and McDermott especially. Then they have the stupidity to do it leading up to his show! They have to know he's probably listening. Non-athletic asswipes who are clueless questioning an NFL headcoach? Yeah, I'd be pissed too and hang up! ?

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.

 Coach (or Nate...or Nate's dad...), log off.

[MAJBobby]

Maybe there is a quit clause in his contract and he will go all St Sean and quit.

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.

Let's talk about the offensive guys they have brought in since McDermott was hired. We all know McD was pulling the strings in Whaley's last draft. No one was picked in 2016 without his blessing.

 

Zay Jones. Average, on his best days.

Ducasse. I have nothing nice to say except he isn't the worst OL starter.

KB. Huge mark against Beane and McDermott. They knew him from Carolina and didn't know he'd come here and be lazy and terrible? Please.

Bodine - was one of PFF's worst centers for years running. Better than Groy. Low bar to clear though. 

Allen/Peterman - LOL.

 

What about these acquisitions should give me hope for their ability to evaluate and acquire offensive talent? 

[PIZ]

Oh no.  Now he's got the "we'll show you that Peterman can do it".

Which "organization" are you referring to?  The Bills or WGR-550?  Are you suggesting that McD called WGR and told them to get Schopp off the air?

 

I listend to the remainder of Hour 3 and indeed, Schopp never came back on air.

 

The kid who posts recorded content on the website seems to have screwed up Hour 4, as he often does.  The audio file won't load up properly, so I can't listen to it.

 

Did you happen to listen to Hour 4 live?  I am dying to know if Schopp came back, on-air, in the 4th hour at all.

 

I hope they address all this in their show tomorrow, but I fear they may not.

[YoloinOhio]

I just listened and all heard was a guy who sounded like he just lost a heartbreaker of a game and his starting QB to injury, and was being forced to talk to a know-nothing prick of a talk show host. 

 

The clip I heard cut off right after they said thanks, so didn’t hear him hang up, but thought he was polite albeit sounded like he needed a beer and a nap.
