MRM33064 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 When McD didn't realize that a tie with the Colts was just as bad as a loss in the playoff race, he exposed himself. And then to make matters worse, he doubled down on it, repeating the phrase "I'd rather have a tie than a loss" as though it had some sort of deep significance that we mere mortals didn't grasp. He seems like a great guy. Perfect to be a character-building, high-school type coach. But comparing him to McVay is like comparing a rotary dial telephone to a new iPhone. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBills88 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Sean McDermott always states that he has seen this done before. Once in Philadelphia with Andy Reid and with River Boat Ron in Carolina. If the 2019 Buffalo Bills team resembles anything to the 2018 Buffalo Bills team, Than yes get rid of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrober38 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) The fact that we have to start Nate Peterman again, and didn't cut him a month ago is a complete embarrassment. Never have I seen a QB situation this poorly managed by an NFL franchise. It's unbelievable that they needed to keep the guy around even though he'd failed so miserably, and now face what will likely be a national embarrassment on Sunday. It's more likely than not that Peterman will be a complete train wreck against the Bears D, and they might be playing Matt Barkley at some point during the game. It's unbelievable how Plan A went so wrong, Plan B wasn't ready and then got injured, Plan C got injured, and they're now back to playing Plan A without any viable backup option behind him.

I just don't think we should be committing ourselves to a HC who has fielded nothing but horrendous offenses. A guy who has shown no ability to evaluate QBs. A guy who insists on trading talent away so he can have guys who fit his culture, even if they can't perform on the field. A guy whose football team is now featuring the worst offense the NFL has seen in 20 years. What are we doing here? The NFL is about scoring points and we're still playing games not to lose, which never works out. McDermott is trying to win games 14-13 when the top teams in the NFL are doing the opposite, trying to win shootouts 35-30. Our whole approach is out of date and it's blatantly obvious on the field that McDermott's coaching philosophy doesn't lineup with what's happening in the modern NFL. This is 100% McDermott and Beane's choice. They're the ones who got rid of everyone we drafted except 3 guys prior to the 2017 season. Say it again for the old guys in the back. This is exactly why McD should be fired this year. Don't waste another minute on this old school, smash mouth nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans were lamenting that the Giants kept trying to patch up the team in a futile effort to stay competitive - when they would have benefitted much more from an all-in rebuild. The Bills have tried to do the patch thing. For the first time since the 80s, we seem to finally be committing to a full rebuild. Obviously not an easy thing for fans, but trying to draw conclusions about it right in the thick of it is a meaningless exercise. It’s really just venting.

When his team gets kicked in the teeth, he pulls out his Dick Jauron cue cards repeats the most bland answers and cliches. First question out of the gate: "your offense has 2 Touchdowns in the last 5 games, explain it" and McDermott leads with "the defense came out and played well at times"... "go back and find answers". On McCoy's ineffectiveness as a runner - "making sure we are giving LeSean opportunities, and I have to go back and look at the tape" - HEY SEAN, MAYBE STOP ALLOWING SWEEPS AND PITCHES TO THE EDGES "Learn from our mistakes" "We are developing a football team" "Learn from the tape" From your time in the NFL could you recall any offense you've been a part of that has struggled like this? .... "establish the line of scrimmage early, thought we did some of that early, they made adjustments, and we weren't able to sustain it really the rest of the game" Derek Anderson evaluation: "thought he made some good throws, and he had some throws he'd like back" What is holding Derek Anderson's back: "being able to establish the run game ... stay in 3rd and manageable" Why is first down such a problem? "Can't get it going" And so I ask Bills fans, do McDermott's answers bother you? Because they aggravate me. You have Bills fans sitting out there all night to watch a 47 yard and 51 yard FG and they get: we have to study tape harder. They get we are building a culture as we "move this thing forward". I think McDermott really thinks that you can line up in 2018 with an extra Tight End and Fullback, and run over teams across a 16-game schedule. That you can line McCoy up and just use the run game to control the line of scrimmage and that still works in the NFL. That you can watch tape, correct mistakes, and learn to be good offensively. That stay in 3rd and manageable is an accomplishment. Halfway through the season, 11-13 as a Coach and I think McDermott is out of answers. If he was gifted Alvin Kamara today he wouldn't know how to use him. He'd slam him into the line 8 times and talk about physicality. Lol now I really feel good about this crew he sounds just like Belichik.

Seems like the kind of people you bring in to try and still compete while freeing up cap space for later. Seriously wasn't this year supposed to be bad by design? I mean sure the coaches and players never admit that but then again they shouldn't. That's not the mindset they're supposed to have the team is what it is and it's their job to play and win. The real funny thing is everyone said we would be 1-7 out the gate and here we are 1 game better and actually have a top notch D until they get tired from offensive struggles. It seemed to me that Edmonds is doing an excellent job commanding the D. The Patriots IIRC couldnt pit the game away till he was injured. You know Its funny there is a lot of the sky is falling BS around here, but I really think the future looks bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When his team gets kicked in the teeth, he pulls out his Dick Jauron cue cards repeats the most bland answers and cliches. First question out of the gate: "your offense has 2 Touchdowns in the last 5 games, explain it" and McDermott leads with "the defense came out and played well at times"... "go back and find answers". On McCoy's ineffectiveness as a runner - "making sure we are giving LeSean opportunities, and I have to go back and look at the tape" - HEY SEAN, MAYBE STOP ALLOWING SWEEPS AND PITCHES TO THE EDGES "Learn from our mistakes" "We are developing a football team" "Learn from the tape" From your time in the NFL could you recall any offense you've been a part of that has struggled like this? .... "establish the line of scrimmage early, thought we did some of that early, they made adjustments, and we weren't able to sustain it really the rest of the game" Derek Anderson evaluation: "thought he made some good throws, and he had some throws he'd like back" What is holding Derek Anderson's back: "being able to establish the run game ... stay in 3rd and manageable" Why is first down such a problem? "Can't get it going" And so I ask Bills fans, do McDermott's answers bother you? Because they aggravate me. You have Bills fans sitting out there all night to watch a 47 yard and 51 yard FG and they get: we have to study tape harder. They get we are building a culture as we "move this thing forward". I think McDermott really thinks that you can line up in 2018 with an extra Tight End and Fullback, and run over teams across a 16-game schedule. That you can line McCoy up and just use the run game to control the line of scrimmage and that still works in the NFL. That you can watch tape, correct mistakes, and learn to be good offensively. That stay in 3rd and manageable is an accomplishment. Halfway through the season, 11-13 as a Coach and I think McDermott is out of answers. If he was gifted Alvin Kamara today he wouldn't know how to use him. He'd slam him into the line 8 times and talk about physicality. Right - but to his defense many NFL coachez do the same sort of thing. Rex was one of the few that actually answer honestly and ended up shooting himself in the foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
