Or maybe he's Anthony Lynn who has the Chargers playing significantly better than they have in recent years. The point is we need something different, and I'd be fine rolling the dice on someone who learned under Andy Reid given the success his coordinators have had recently.

Just from a turnover standpoint - it has to stop. But when you KEEP selecting the wrong coaches - you can't just stick with it for continuity's sake. Offensively, this regime is the most clueless i've seen from a Bills team in my 34 years. I expected a step back. But they are putting together a HISTORICALLY bad season together. And they consistently make the wrong decisions on that side of the ball. I hate to say it - but Sean McDermott is looking like just another coordinator who is very good at his job. But is just not a Head Coach. Ya that's the thing. The Browns were trying to do the same thing with Hue Jackson. People can preach continuity all they want but if they guy doesn't have it, then there is no point bringing him back just for the sake of continuity. As the Browns found out this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbuff Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 When I saw him clap on a 2 yard completion, down 28-0, I was like..................... what the heck is this guy doing? Does he have mental problems? Who claps when they are down by a million points? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it crashes and burns next year then sure, you should lose faith. But right now, this year, if you expected anything different then you just weren't paying attention before the start of the year. In terms of record, you may be right, but I don't think many predicted we would be blown out in such horrific fashion on a regular basis. I have a hard time believing that with one year's worth of draft picks and free agent acquisitions we're going to be scoring 30+ points on a regular basis next season. Is our OC hiding 3/4 of his playbook so as not to tip off coaching staffs for next year's run? There seems to be little or no adjustments being made on the offensive side of the ball. Either HC, OC or both need to go now. In the real world, you hire slowly and fire quickly... hanging on in hopes of dramatic improvement from employees is seldom worth the risk. IF we do improve offensively next season and start scoring 24 pts per game (which would be a major 2.4X improvement), we're still looking at a .500 season... at which point we'd probably be making changes anyway. Even considering the "lack of offensive talent" on this roster... I have a very hard time believing that no other available offensive mind could muster more than 2 points in the first half of games (our average outside of the Minnesota game) or more than 10 points per game (our season average). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbuff Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 (edited) The Bills won't fire McDermott, but it's pretty obvious this organization needs to go after a HC with an excellent OFFENSIVE reputation. The offensive guys this franchise has gone after to be HC were either dinosaurs or didn't have a sparkling reputation. The time has come for an offensive HC with a sparkling reputation that can turn Allen into a franchise QB, which Allen obviously has the talent to be.

Not to knock as I too had some confidence before Baltimore that this season may not be that bad, and I was most certainly fooled by Peterman's preseason. But even so, this was always the season we were going to have. There's no point in arguing that. I don't mean this all to excuse what you are seeing, not in the least - but rather just point out the blatant reality that this was always the dumpsterfire that we were going to see based upon everything that happened after January 2018.

Spiderweb Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 1 hour ago, clearwater cadet said: The only thing that brings good offense is a good QB who can see the field and make the throw. All our problems go away with good Qb play. Ah hem... Couple solid or better WRs would help a bunch as well, but we had them and McBean let two walk and a third was traded away for crap. How many moves have McBean made that have helped this team vs. those that have hurt the team? We simply suck and here's to Jerry Hughes breaking both of McClappy's wrists the next team he claps on a three and out, or worse yet a turnover. He a crap coach.

That's my ask at this point and the team is failing spectacularly at it. Okay, let's say we have the 20th ranked offense in the NFL this year but we still only have 2 wins.

Real McClappy Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I'm not done until I see what happens next FA and draft. If we don't address the O properly my pitchfork will most likely come out as well. AJM Kerley Coleman Are still my biggest ?'s or WTF moments from Beane. Also, you need to look at the last draft.

Are you still done with McD? yes, yes you are. Nope. He bought enough goodwill from last year that if the unit was at least competent and competitive, which it would be if it was ranked #20, I'd be fine with it. The fact that the offense is one of the worst in NFL history, combined with his repeated mistakes in selecting coaching staff on that side of the ball and poor personnel choices (Peterman, DiMarco, Benjamin, etc), should put him on a very hot seat in my view. I was never thrilled with his selection as head coach, but was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt after reaching the playoffs and putting together solid defenses. My worry now, after as many blowout losses as this team has experienced, is that he has reached a point where he's lost credibility with the players, fanbase, and front office (aside from Beane). Talking in platitudes about "the process" gets less effective as horrible results pile up. It is very hard to recover from a position like that.

So question... What coaches are out there that you guys would like the Bill's to hire if McD gets fired anytime in the future? And this isnt a...well you say fire him give me your solution...I'm honestly curious who is out there and who you guys like. 1 hour ago, Mango said: With so much invested into Josh Allen, you have to assume Defillip is high on the Bills list if this were to happen. I would add, if Reggie McKenzie becomes available, I would probably fire Beane on the spot and bring him in with Defilipo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
