Sean McDermott press conference 11-10

[YoloinOhio]

 

[RyanC883]

likely a lot of nonsense coach talk.  

 

and if i ever hear say "they wanted it more than us," whoever on the team/or staff wanted it "less", should be fired/benched instantly.  You're a pro athlete, no excuse for that.  it's the cliche saying players/coaches use when they have no clue what happened.

Doesn't sound like he was pulling too many punches.

Depressing press conference.  McDermott sounds beat up.

 

Honestly i wouldn't waste the time to listen to it.

[billybob71]

sounds a bit tired and beat down to me much like every coach Bills have had in the last so many years.

Yeah it's not a good tone, it's almost like he's publicly conceding the issue isn't just about effort/execution but this organization as a whole grossly miscalculated the talent on this roster and what is shaping up to be an epic failure to bring back pretty much the same team from last year that fell short of the SB and wasn't even competitive in their final game.

 

This is why the season is pretty much on the line this week, you lose to the Jets and Mike White things will go further south quickly and you'll see the defense start to pack it in so to speak once they know this offense is truly toast and can't move the ball or score anymore.

This post reminds me of some sort of  "response-bot" that is auto-generated for spinning up drama and urgency levels out there in fan land. You've got some mount Everest sized assumptions based off of this every day Wednesday coach interview session here to say the least.

Maybe because they dont have the answers...

To be honest I haven't listened to every press conference this year, but considering the circumstances I didn't expect McD to sound like everything is peaches and roses.

 

But what I observed you can tell the pressure is real especially since you had last week's opponent calling out this team for basically not giving a crap and that starts with the head coach obviously.

 

But again let's not pretend this is isolated to last week. The warning signs have been there since week one when this decided not to show up for their home opener despite all offseason to prepare and play in front of 80K fans again.

 

And then again coming out of a bye week when you lost a tough game on national television you'd think they'd be ready and motivated to send a message again at home but they waiting until the 4th quarter to show up and were lucky to win.

 

Bottom line it's time for the 2021 Bills to finally show what they are but sadly they may be exactly what we've seen the last 2 weeks.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I wouldn't characterize this as "shooting from the hip."

That means aimless, uncalculated.

 

This is the opposite of that.

He sounds the same as always. The overall tone of PCs after a loss is more dim, but I think it's an overreaction to act like the coach is "beat down." To me, that's just fan speak.

[Rico]

Why TF would he be beaten and weary from one bad midseason loss?

[Niagara Dude]

Sean McDermott won’t go into strategy, but says #Bills must run ball better if they want to be team they want to be. Notes to go all the way back to end of last season with struggles. Adds he thought run game would’ve been improved by now.

 

 

No kidding,  the line needs to do better but i think we also should give Antonio Williams a shot over two guys they have now

Already angry by what you guess the coach has said? Not even by what he actually said. Wow.

It's nice to know you can summarize the presser without bothering to listen to it.

 

You should be accorded all the credit you deserve for this take.

I don't think he sounded beat up at all.  I think he sounded like a man who knows what he wants and intends to get it - grounded and determined.

 

If you didn't "waste the time" to listen to it, again, how do you reach this conclusion about how he sounded?

 

If you did listen to it, Bad Take IMHO

This is how mischaracterizations are formed, I guess...

You are exactly right. I have listened to almost all of his pressers this year and he sounded exactly how I expected him to sound. Which is one of the reasons I believe he will eventually get this team to where he wants them to be.

Spencer as a limited of course is good news.

So, take the pool table and video games back out?!  I thought they just had them redelivered! 🙁

[Tony P]

I listened and think he was pretty upfront and candid TBH. He frankly stated that he expected the run game to be further along by now.

 

On a related note: I listen to PCs from a couple other teams now and then and I don't understand why the Bills can't figure our how to have the reporters' questions be more audible. Other teams seem to have this figured out.

Are you sure you are referring to the same press conference the rest of us watched? Because I didn't hear any of this...

If I didn't listen  how would I feel that he sound beat up and it was depressing, you think I just guessed?  Regardless, I obviously disagree it is a "Bad Take".

Agree, I am listening right now, and it's mostly this message - the 2021 Bills haven't been physical enough, disciplined enough. 

 

It feels like McDermott is going to take the reigns more on offense and he's going to make a concerted effort to run more. 

 

But was this Press Conference any different than the usual? Not really, nothing specific. There is nowhere to turn on the offensive line personnel, and I don't think Gilliam can provide anything as a fullback, so I expect it to look pretty ineffective actually.

Agree 100%.   This has been a persistent problem for several years now.  With all the $ they spend and the slick presentations they have done since the Pegula's arrived, it is perplexing they cant figure it out/fix it.  I have wasted a lot of time going back on some of these videos and try to turn up the volume when the questions are asked or end up guessing as to what or who they are talking about.

ZERO FUN SIR!

[SoCal Deek]

Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.

This Team needs to grow up fast! Too much clowning around during the week. Too much sitting around during the game on the sideline. This is way less about skill level and way more about heart and desire.  The Bills roster is head and shoulders above the Jaguars and yet, if you include the first half of the Miami game, the Bills have now been sleepwalking for seven out of eight quarters since the Bye Week. Unacceptable.

Fix it, Coach!

I really think the team themselves underestimated the grit, work, and fight mentality needed after they lost to the Titans. They beat Miami and everyone was back to saying they were the best team in the AFC etc.. and they didn't even play that well or spirited that day. Since KC they look like a team that just feels they deserve to win as opposed to earning it.

[First Round Bust]

looked up PFF stats - Dawkins has 7 penalties tied for second most in the league  - he and Morse are our highest rated OL - with grades in the 60s -

with Brown next with Feliciano who has not given up a sack.

Teller grades in the high 80s.

Well said.  It's up to the Coaching staff to make sure that attitude doesn't happen. I'm honestly not sure if Coach McD has it in him. I know that Coach Frasier doesn't, and Daboll don't appear to be the fire-lighting type. Someone needs to peel the paint off the locker room walls.  Not anywhere near enough urgency from this Team right now.

The "ignore" feature on TBD is your friend. 

[Coach Tuesday]

Good PC - he is clearly displeased with his offensive coaches (Daboll and Johnson), and he came as close as he'll ever come to calling out an individual player (Dawkins).

I agree.  We were also monster favorites against Miami and they were in that game into Q4.  That should have been the "wake up" call to them team, to not play well against a division opponent and let them stay in the game till Q4.

I actually saw a couple years back either Sal C or Joe B discuss this. It's actually (by what they said) made that way on purpose at the request of the reporters because they don't want the other reporters to steal their "intellectual property" and report it on their own sites.

The Steelers, Phins, & Jags games all had a common theme of a team that under estimated their opposition and thought they would just win because they are talented. I agree I thought the Phins game would've got the offense to say "crap we really need to tighten up" but it didn't.
