If it wasn’t for Andy Dalton people might not want to be so patient. but Dalton did in fact make the play and the bills did in fact make the playoffs And McD did that with a lot less talent on the roster because of the players we traded away for draft picks and he is going to get more time because of it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is very impressive IMO. A guy that will take the players he has and make the most out of it is a trait that I personally value in a coordinator That was a lifetime ago. He’s been utter trash ever since even when he had Phillip Rovers as his QB. How many times does he have to get fired before people realize he kinda sucks at his job?

But in private I'm sure he is beyond frustrated and annoyed at what is going on. I am quite sure there is some criticizing going on behind closed doors....he is just too much of a professional to throw it into the media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Why do fans make such a big deal out of pressers? Coaches are contractually obligated to do them. Unless you’re Rex Ryan and let everyone know everything in your mind, most coaches just try to do the minimum. They don’t gain anything by being more candid or open.

Belichick generally doesn't provide any answers of relevance either and he seems to do alright. His coaching is all that matters (which I'm not particularly happy with either). Bill Belichick gets the benefit of the doubt. He is a proven winner. He has the shield of Tom Brady. Bills fans need to stop pointing out the first ballot HOF exception. That Brady was a 6th Rounder so Peterman could work, and that Belichick was stoic so its okay that McDermott is an answering machine stuck on repeat.

If it wasn’t for Andy Dalton people might not want to be so patient. I just find it interesting how no one seems to think he's responsible for this mess. It's unfathomable to me how so many other people are getting scapegoated ahead of the HC who is almost entirely responsible for putting us in this mess. This is a Chip Kelly/Josh McDaniels situation all over again. Young, arrogant coach who gutted the roster of NFL talent so he can have his guys, and the result is arguably the worst roster in the league and the worst offense the league has seen in 20 years. We'd be smart to fire McDermott this year and restart with a new HC who might be able to better utilize all our draft picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are TANKING My point is that it’s easy to tear it down and be bad. The hard part is building it back up. If you don’t draft quality players and sign the right free agents then it’s all for nothing. If McD and BB don’t strike gold in the next draft and Allen doesn’t take major steps forward then the results won’t be much different and they will be on hot seats.

Next step of the rebuild is FA and draft. As a fan, I'm not looking for answers for this season, honestly. Just watching the games to see who I think will stay on the team. Regarding the game, I thought they should've used Clay and Croom more. When they finally did, they almost scored that TD. this is exactly where i'm at with it.

Our cap space isn’t going to solve our problems. Correct, you have to convince WR and TE and RB FA's to come to Buffalo and play with Josh Allen. When Rick Dennison was already fired, when Brian Daboll has the offense at 10 ppg. In a division that the Patriots are ruling again. You're coming to them with poop and selling it as filet mignon. Here, look into McDermott's eyes and get excited about studying tape and working really hard......get excited about 3rd and manageable and field position!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeskillitMoorman Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 8 minutes ago, Jobot said: They put a bunch of band-aids on the offense. They've got $80million in cap money next year. This is the NFL, you can't mask lack of talent with any scheme. I love this built-in excuse of the $80 million in cap money next year. Do you know how many teams have a lot of cap space for next year? This has the potential of a roll-over excuse for McBeane next year too if they don't end up spending much of that. The truth is...we have less young talent than we should in year 2 of what a successful rebuild would. We shouldn't have this many band-aids on offense in year 2. We basically still need to put together an entire offense with skill players and at least 3 positions on the offensive line. It's downright scary how much work there is to do on that side of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Bills Fan Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 25 minutes ago, MAJBobby said: An Innovative Offensive Mind that has experience developing QBs. John Defilippo comes to mind. Chris Peterson Lincoln Riley DeFilippo has 8 games of experience as an OC. Before that never higher than QB coach. It might work but McDermott has a much more extensive resume and I think we need to give the rebuild time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
