That's largely where my skepticism comes from. As Teef alluded to, this off season will be crucial for Beane along with Allen's development. If he got the QB pick right and does a solid job with 90 mil and 10 picks, he'll silence all the doubters. Time will tell as they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team has overacheived in my opinion based on the talent he has had to work with. Secondly. He's a class act. Hes got the back of his players and does all the right things for the organization from a human perspective. He appreciates people like Kyle and McCoy who go above and beyond to be mentors. Like him or not. Hes a good man. I have my issues with McD's (Beane's? both?) decision making, but I can't disagree with this. The most important fact: the team never gave up this year. I think was saw sporadic hard play by the Dolphins today, but sustained hard play by the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOE IN HAMPTON ROADS Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 20 minutes ago, LabattBlue said: It’s all about results. It doesn’t matter if he is a class act. Another 6-10 season and his class act a$$ may be kicked to the curb. If Beane doesn't find a way to mess up 10 draft picks and a zillion dollars in FA cap space, 10-6 is more likely.

Elite Poster Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 We can list a lot of head scratching things he's done as well. The only thing that matters are wins and right now he is 15-17. A losing season next year and it's hot seat time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Formation Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 You can tell he's insecure at times, he claps when he's nervous. Just hope McD realizes how awesome of a position he's in and there is very little chance we don't make the playoffs in 2019 unless he completely botches the draft and free agency. Should be no pressure on him at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a top 5 defense, a franchise QB, 10 draft picks and 90 million. How can he possibly mess that up? Any halfway competent coach can get us to the playoffs. McD is too smart to screw this up.

Plus, I loved that he used a time out to let Kyle walk off the field with an ovation. I loved they took a couple knees on the O in order to get to the D for that time out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess that makes me real happy we never did get Cowler to come here to coach as he must really be clueless if he thinks McD is a good coach as many on this board much more knowledgeable about the game than Bill Cowler is have already told us that McD is a terrible coach. Who can argue with the experts around here? Who's this Cowler and what does he know about football? Just busting your chops bud. I like McDermott. Many of the statisticians who I generally agree with look at our point differential from 2017 as a negative. What I took away was that his teams found a way to win tight games. I feel like McDermott has won quite a few more one possession games than he's lost. The blowouts are a concern, but winning the 50/50 contests is not something I'm accustomed to as a Bills fan. He's pretty conservative, but has done well with what Beane has given him to work with. 2019 is the true test.

billsbackto81 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 1 hour ago, Inigo Montoya said: Sure he's a good guy, but he claps a lot. Can't have a head coach who's a clapper. I mean he did break the Drought last year. And he does manage to get guys to play for him even when everyone knows the season is lost. It is only his second year coaching and he is probably going to get better at his job as he gets more experience at it going forward. And I guess you can argue that he managed to squeak out 6 wins this year with the lowest payroll roster in the League and a rookie QB. Sure, he's a class act too, but, what about that clapping.... Well done my good man. Well done.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time they did that, I didn't know why, given the amount time left on the clock. It wasn't until the D took the field and he called the TO that I realized what he was doing. McD must have planned that in advance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insecure men look like this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hebert19 Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 One more to add to this. Saw on power rankings he accounted for 1700+ of our last 2100 yards over last 6 games. That's ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) I think he is good. He seems like a great leader. Im not completely bullish on him, but looking forward to see how far he can take them with a capable offense. They overachieved in 2017, and again in 2018. I thought 4 or 5 wins going in, and 0-3 wins after the first 2 weeks. Edited January 1, 2019 by May Day 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been saying he's a natural head coach , and right where he needs to be , he belongs coaching at the highest level. I'm thrilled he's in Buffalo. I envision him being here a long time. I agree he has overachieved , but most of all I love what he has instilled into this team. He has built an identity and culture and has stuck to his vision and blueprint the whole time. A perfect example was week 17 , you see Miami banged up in the secondary and those young guys came in that looked unprepared and like they didn't belong. McD has had to do alot of shuffling in the secondary , and has Undrafted rookies playing at a high level. Not missing a beat. You can see the difference right there in McD and a coach like Gase. Something special is brewing in Western New York. McBeane said from day 1 , that they want to build a team that has Long Term, Sustainable success and they have certainly set themselves up to make that achievable. We have a ton of young talent that will only get better , just look at the back 7 , I think Wallace is basically a lock to hold that #2 cb role , him,Taron,Tre, Edmunds and Milano will all be 2nd or 3rd year players and just came off a year where they were the #1 pass D by a significant margin , they're going to be deadly with more time to gel. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
