IDBillzFan Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 6 hours ago, Kelly the Dog said: It's hard to argue with anything you said in theory. That said, if the Bills would have fired the nine coaches since Marv after one or two years instead of three, we may be ahead now. There is a great argument for saying that you have to give good coaches time, even three to five years, before they can genuinely be evaluated. But most coaches suck. They are left to do their jobs way too long. I would argue that each of the nine coaches should have been fired earlier than they were. Sure, you need to give new regimes time to do what they need to do, but not if they suck. Not if they don't know what they are doing. I don't at all think McDermott should be fired now. Or Beane. At all. They need the rest of this year and all of next year to see if they have this franchise on the right path. But there is a huge reason to believe they are not the right guys. McD clearly knows defense. There is nothing to believe they know a thing about offense outside of pure hope. They have made a LOT of terrible decisions on offense from day one to right now. It's possible they will turn it around. It's possible they are building a good team for the long run. I gave them the benefit of the doubt like I would anyone. But 90% of their decisions so far on offense have been terrible. There is zero reason to trust the process on offense. That doesn't mean they need to be fired. But the handling of the offensive coaching from top to bottom, the handling of the QB position, the handling of the WR position, as well as the TEs, is downright scary. Like, horrible. I agree with all of this. In the end, my issue is with people coming to the board demanding everyone be fired after a loss. It's just tiresome. I understand the frustration, but as I mentioned elsewhere, if a fan's plan is to stay around and just be miserable week in and week out, why bother? And if you are going to bother, why bother everyone else with the same dribble? That's all, really. It's tough to be a Bills fan. We get it. When you're in a room with a bunch of hungry people, the one you want to throw out is the one who keeps yelling, "Oh, I'm soooooooooo hungry!" No schitt. We're all hungry. Shut up and be hungry, or if you're going to say something, have a solution. For what it's worth, the best way to really see the futility is, inadvertently, through a Twitter account @BillsTouchdown. They post a Bills TD a day, usually against the team the Bills are playing in the current week. At first it was fun because they really go into the vaults, but after a while, you start to sense a terrible pattern. Doug Flutie QB sneak Kelly to Lofton EJ Manual end around JP Losman to Josh Reed Kelly Holcomb to Eric Moulds Trent Edwards to Fred Jackson Peterman to Benjamin Tyrod to Percy Harvin Carale Jones to Jarrett Boykin Fitzpatrick to Stevie Johnson To Peerless Orton to Sammy Bledsoe to Peerless Jeff Tuel to Da'Rick Rogers Gibran Hamdan to Shawn Nelson The number of QBs this team has chewed through is mind-boggling. I remain cautiously optimistic for Allen and the staff in place. But in no way is there enough evidence to gut everything again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should it matter who was on what board when if they lived through it what ever platform they used really doesn’t matter. Many of the members here started out on ESPN and the Democrat and Chronicle forums in the mid to late 90’s And seriously 1 game will unseat Jimmy G?

You'd think that right? But......IN FACT....... the level of ineptitude of the Bills organization in the 2000's was beyond statistically improbable........it was amazing. There was a period right after Donahoe was hired when the person I speak of.....LABillzfan........was responding to any negative take about Donahoe dismantling the roster with that lame snickers commercial joke line "DOOOOOOOOOMED"..........with all intent at sarcasm. The Bills then proceeded to miss the playoffs for another 16 years. There is wrong and then there is THAT. ? And btw......never heard of ya'(welcome to the board) but understand we aren't here to impress you. It's a discussion board not a talent show..........no awards for being right.......but there will be blood for being consistently stupid.

Oh homophobia as a defense mechanism...........always hilarious. Clever writing as always. The reason I single you out is because you were shouting down lot's of new posters who were frustrated with the direction of the team who were just trying to get involved here on TSW. Alaska Darin was actually your tag team partner at the time...........I recall you were both appalled at me for calling you out because I had typically been a defender of the organization myself..........but the difference was John Butler WARRANTED defending.

Buffalo03 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Honestly, I hope Mullens shines for the rest of the season. Once Garopolo gets back next season then they might put this guy on the trade block. I would love to swing a trade for him if he works out this season.
