McDermott on no trades: "There have been too many years of irresponsible decision-making, let's just put it that way."

So he either bad-mouthed previous administrations, or Brandon Beane and himself, or both. Not sure that was necessary. 

 

Definitely not necessary, but (at least to me) much welcomed.  I think McD is getting a little salty and I'm hoping that's a good thing.

I’m not usually overeactionary but I wonder if Pegs will have a word with him. Considering he signed off on those decisions! Oops

Sean, bosses want to see you...and bring your coachspeak book...

Here we go again...... If you believe in The Process McClappity is bang on.....

 

This 5 year plan will soon be 6-8 and then they'll be a new set of excuses.

 

The offense makes no banes that it is about 17 points, no mistakes (penalties are fine, turnovers are not) and the defense being elite.

 

And again we line up on opposite sides.  Those behind The Process applaud him, others shake their head & think :More of the Same".....

right... on the way to double digits wins and our 2nd playoff berth in 3 years. just "more of the same"..... oh wait.... except that's literally the exact opposite of what the organization has done since 99.

 

you continue to impress.

2 #1s (including a #9) and a 4th for a receiver when we had no quarterback CB. I mean seriously......

 

The man gave away the store. He had no business holding the GM position.

 

Tell me please.....if he was any good, dontcha think someone else would have hired him?

A lot of that is hindsight.  He went all in for his qb and tried to give him the pieces to succeed.  Sammy was one of the best college receivers in modern history.  Our receivers were Watkins, Woods, Hogan, and Goodwin. I would kill for that collection right now.

 

and nfl hiring is a joke. It’s basically who’s your dad (Andy Reid’s former drug addict son is a d line coach and the Ryans ) or who you are buddies with (Daboll is friends with Polian’s son).  He is in the xfl right now.  He clearly had his faults but to act like a guy who averaged 8 wins for a Bills franchise that has been morbid for 20 years is kinda dishonest, 

 

do you believe we are more talented now than in 2015?

Wasn't the question specifically about trade deadline trades?  The only trade deadline ***** I can think of is for Benjamin I guess.  Although he did score a TD in the Snow Bowl which if he hadn't we probably lose and miss the playoffs again.

 

So  I'm not sure where he's coming from.

That’s interesting.  Personally what I hate about the “process” (which they stole from the 76ers) is it hides them from blame.  They can kept deflecting and saying they need more time because they had to “rebuild.”

 

they are 5-2 and should easily make the playoffs.  No more excuses.

5 wins (four of which against teams with a grand total of 3 wins)...... And a signature win 14-7 over Tennessee.....  Glass half full.....

 

He did not take over a 4 win team.....  He took over a team that had gone 9-7, 8-8 and 7-9 (where they last in OT week 16 or too could have made the playoffs)......

Depends on how it affects him. Some people, maybe the majority, operate worse when they are angry. For others it's a good motivator.

 

And some, who seem under control, really aren't. Marv is a great example of a guy who seems from afar to be so professorial and even keeled, and he was a salty screamer.

That’s why it’s such BS to try and blame the previous regime.

they took over a 7 win team and the very next year snuck into the playoffs while unloading riff raff and freeing up money. they are now gonna go ahead and win double digits with 90 mil going into the offseason. get a clue man....

 

and leave it to @C.Biscuit97 to most likely be the ONE person to actually like your post. that dude has been slobbin all over whaley since the day he left.
