As we passed on Lynn for head coach and Reich as an offensive coordinator (before his offensive Super Bowl mastery) when folks said he was lucky to have Rivers. Instead of finding Anderson or Barkley earlier Sean extended his nepotism and stubbornness as unwillingness in parting ways with Nate Peterman and still kept him against Chicago. I see McDermott as a translation Coach and Beane will do what is necessary to save his own neck to that end cutting Peterman; after Sean gave him a vote of confidence. Sean brought in Beane but it means that McDermott is not Beane’s first choice for a Coach. If it means after the season jettisoning Sean to have Frazier as an interim I’m set with that. Given how Leslie was hamstrung in Minnesota with Christian Ponder (who) and having Josh Allen to really develop could see it working. The defense was tired and the Coach refused to move on from KB or elevate guys like Foster which he was forced too; anyone else thinking that Beane is looking for “his guy” to take over as Coach? Peterman="nepotism"? Anyway, remember who they tried to storehouse over orders and the fire which broke out? I sure do.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bing Bong Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 (edited) This post is a bummer haha. I don't give up on a team when they have a slogan I don't like and a horrid start to the season. Also this is really odd timing because it's starting to look like it could pan out by next year! That's a quick rebuild with a playoff appearance to boot bud. I just hate the name and what it stood for, like we were okay with punting this year away. Were we going to realistically make playoffs this year? Not likely, but I didn't need to be constantly reminded by that by the front office that had all the rhetoric and actions to back it up (like going into the season with Nathan Peterman and JA with zero offense around them to boot). That and the word soup we used with it because we didn't understand it lol. Came across as an excuse for the horrible first half of the season we went through. Honestly it's mostly because the 76ers beat the drum with astounding ineptitude lol. But whatever floats your boat McBeane! Ya won me over with more optimism for the next 2 years than I've probably ever had. Just don't chalk up any losses next year to the process.. don't make it your escape pls. Rebuild's pver we're onto better things! AND DON"T EVEN THINK ABOUT PUNTING NEXT YEAR AND IGNORING DESPERATE HELP AT OFFENSE FOR MY SANITY. We had a tough year boys, but I can feel it.. the optimism is palpable even with the skeptics! Keep on keeping on McBeane.

CajunBillsBacker Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 To understand the process of building the team and what they are doing, you have to have vision further than your hand in front of your face. Making the playoffs last season was a blessing, but also a curse because too many fans thought the process was done and the rest was gravy. Do you know the Bills have nearly 90 million in cap space this offseason, and around 130 million cap space in 2020? Beane has done an outstanding job at cleaning house instead of just slapping bandaids on like past regimes tried to do. He went out and got a QB who is looking for part more and more every week because he knows you can’t win long term without a QB. We are 4-8 and have the top overall defense in the NFL, that should tell you something. Now to build the offense and sure up some key players long term. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsVet Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 3 hours ago, Doc said: No. And those blowout losses were with Frazier calling the defense so elevating Frazier, who failed as a HC, isn't exactly a smart idea. OP expresses doubt about a rebuild that, in year 2, is 4-8 and predictably gets flamed. While I wouldn't elevate Frazier to interim anything at this point, it's clear something is amiss. I know that talking strategy is an exercise in futility, but it's hard to trust "the process" when you can demonstrate the following events from the past off-season forward: 1. The decision to start Peterman was horrible at the time he was made the starter. They knew he lacked arm strength to make some of the throws he'd need to. 2. Their plan at QB was then foiled when Peterman bombed, leaving Allen as the only QB left on the roster and needing to start. They never signed a vet until week 5...4 weeks after the Baltimore debacle. 3. They acquired Benjamin and knew his knee wasn't good, further exacerbated by the hit he took at Los Angeles last year. Now he's gone. 4. They allowed other receivers out the door and didn't replace them with experienced types. And now we hear they're focusing on speed guys? Where was that in the off-season? 5. They started the season with 3 RBs on the roster (McCoy, Ivory, and Taiwan Jones) who were 29 or older. And Marcus Murphy isn't a 3 down back. 6. Sure, they planned on Incognito and Wood, but both were aging vets. They had little to address those issues, but their OL UFA signings have been extremely weak. 7. Yet, they've spent big money on a defense (Star, Murphy, V. Davis, Poyer) which, despite being good against the pass, still doesn't win enough games on it's own with that offense. People place their trust in the team because, well, it's the team and to some criticism means you're anti-fan. No, it's not. It just means the fan is objective when the record is what it is. Here's to hoping Allen continues to improve, they build a NFL caliber offense, and stop going down the path of building up defense in an offensive driven league. I'm interested to see how they do it, but nothing less than a playoff appearance is acceptable in 2019. 24 minutes ago, John from Riverside said: There really needs to be a minimum post count to create threads.............

You would be one of the guys they trade or cut. While most of us are now buying in you are checking out. The D is playing wellbecause McD sat Frazier down and told him what adjustments he needed to make and the D started doing better. Make no mistake, that is McDs D. You have no patience and were probably never a process guy to begin with. You didnt give up on it, you never really bought in. If you cant see this team is trending in the right direction all I can tell you is that your blind. Just a little extra note: McDermott brought Beane into the organization he is McDs hire not vice versa.
