The team was .500 under Wrex Ryan, with the best offense of the drought years—hardly a disaster, hardly a team in need of a down-to-the-studs rebuild.

 

Not quite. It was one game under .500.

*****.  You must have been watching a different team.  Both our offense and defense sucked under Ryan.

There are very few posters here who call it the way it is.  I agree with you about Allen.

 

People here are high on him b/c he makes good, exciting runs, is clearly a gamer, and definitely wants to win.  It's easy to cheer for him and want to see him succeed. 

 

The problem is his passing game, which isn't good.  

 

PS:  I think there is a chance McDermott does not get 1.5 more years.  I can see a scenario where he is let go end of next year. 

I dunno, I think Pegula gives him one more full season, and at least the start of the next. I'm not sure how much it matters tbh, when the heck will they ever have the chance to draft the QB they passed on?That's like a one in multiple decade chance they blew.

Please do not tell me what I can post.  It's called an opinion.  When someone doesn't agree with you its ok.  You do not need to ask them to stop posting.  This seems to be a common theme around here. 

Did you read what I was responding to?  My post had nothing to do with defending TT. 

 

First of all, I wasn’t telling you what you can or cannot post, I was commenting on your post which I will do freely and as I see necessary. Also, I read your post as defending Taylor. If I’m wrong I’m wrong. But your very first sentence indicated that you were defending him. If that wasn’t the case, write more clearly the next time. Got it! Good

Again,  not much you can do about ticky tack calls.  And as for the other 31 teams, the average number of penalties for BOTH teams combined in an NFL game is 13.  Bills had more than that themselves the past two weeks.   They were mostly bad calls.  Nobody else gets flagged as much as Buffalo and I don't believe it's because they are committing that many more penalties, they just get called more.  Jets O-Line was holding all day today.  How many calls did we get?  

It’s the NFL though. Every single team gets hosed on ticky tack calls haha. There isn’t a conspiracy for the officials to screw the Bills lol.

 

If anything I thought the jets got the short end of the stick today in regards to penalties

Just because you say it, diesnt make it so.  They won as many games as they lost, and that was with a horrific head coach.

I’m really concerned that this guy isn’t the right guy to have here going forward. The defense folds in big spots constantly and game day management is terrible. Unless we force turnovers we lose. I’m glad everyone else is sure this tebuild will work. I just can’t get there. I am tired of seeing this team blow games that they should be wining. I don’t care about gaining 2 spots in draft position. I care about believing this team can actually win games at some point

nope.

Within the top 20 in NFL history in completion percentage... Culpepper, Pennington, Carr, Mariota, Schaub, Brian Griese. It’s definitely not a be all end all measurement. And he’s spent that career throwing to people who are now selling tires I’d bet

Since McDermott is largely responsible for the lack of talent on the current Bills, he can't use it as an excuse.  He wanted these players because of their supposed commitment to "the process" and sent more talented players packing who allegedly didn't buy into his "vision".  I don't know exactly what the hell McDermott means by "the process", but it seems to me to include putting loyalty to "family and friends" ahead of objective talent evaluation of both assistant coaches and players.

 

 

 

Funny, I didn’t know McDermott was GM as well as head coach?

[Joeziehmer]

Would have been better off with Tyrod teaching Josh.  I love my Bills yet McDermott career wise is not the guy.

McD supporter here.

 

Did we actually want to win today?

Currently picking at 6th in the draft depending on Lions (winning atm so that won't change).

 

A win would have bumped us to pick 11+

If your trying to throw a game special teams isn't a bad place to do it.

 

** McDermott will still be head coach of the Bills in 2021. At least I hope this is the case as means we are headed in the right direction and winning.

Hey I edited it; why are you guys this upset?  I mean you must have loved the blow out losses as part of the process.

I don't think anyone knows yet but the fact he fired his own hand picked OC after one year, and now we're looking at probably having to do the same with ST in year two suggests he might not be the right guy. He looks like a head coach, says the right things. It's clear he has a plan to build an actual team (as appose to just collecting talent). Lots to like, but between the coaching misfires, the QB stuff, and spending all that draft capital on two players,...jury is out.

So, throwing games for picks that’s worked out so well for taking a playoff and competitive team to the depths.  I’m glad my older brother isn’t alive to see loser mentality fans who hop abroad wanting to lose.

You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense.

 

 

In seriousness and confident I've deciphered your post.

Yes " throwing games for picks" is a common strategy used in sporting codes across the globe.

The Buffalo Bills are a business. A high draft pick is a more important asset to the business than appeasing the likes of yourself.

I think Brandon Beane views him as expendable to such an extent he let Sean McDermott hang himself publicly on insisting that Sean had all the confidence in the world in Peterman.  Yet, logically McDermott supporters and fans of the process don’t know its a business decision and Beane doesn’t want to lose his job.  So, he’ll curry favor with ownership and the public; while trying to bring in his own guy; not just because McDermott brought him in.  Beane wants to build it and he’s realizing how clueless McDermott really is.  

[JohninMinn.]

Hopefully he will develop a killer instinct. Right now he plays the percentages and the team feels the atmosphere of playing not to lose. It's time to let go of the leash.
