BADOLBILZ Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 22 minutes ago, HappyDays said: "It could be worse" isn't the point. The point is that even the best coaches in the league are often questioned for their decision making. The best coaches in the league can't win consistently without a top QB. McDermott isn't clearly the best coach in the league but he is clearly one of them. I have no idea what point you were trying to make.......I didn't see what you said prior nor was I responding to you. "It could be worse" wrt coaching staffs is just an excuse the timid use to excuse failure or to justify non-action. As I said.......McDermott isn't on any kind of hot seat IMO. But could he one day be seen as a Tony Dungy-in-Tampa type whose message runs its course and then be succeeded by a coach who gives the team a better chance to win a SB in that moment? Even if that succeeding coach doesn't go on to win more overall games in his career or achieve some other metric of longevity that McDermott might? Yes. It's literally been done. And ultimately it's about winning SB's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And ultimately it's about winning SB's. I don't think the point you responded to is that "it could be worse." No one is comparing McDermott to Nate Hackett. He's being compared to coaches like Tomlin and Harbaugh and Belichick in the sense that even great coaches make questionable decisions. It's NOT that we should feel lucky because things could always be worse, it's that it's really hard to find better than what we have in McDermott. We are several years away from even having the conversation about replacing him. Andy Reid was with the Eagles for 13 years. McDermott is just about at the halfway point of that time frame. Pederson wasn't fired because he was a poor coach, he was fired because he got in an internal battle with the GM and the GM won. If Allen is approaching his age 30 season and we still don't have a Lombardi I will entertain the notion of moving on from McDermott. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chandler's Hands Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 4 hours ago, Bills2022 said: I don't trust our head coach. So yes, I am concerned with every game. Between our loss to the Jaguars last year, our first half against the Bucs, our blowout loss to the Titans at home, and our playoff loss to the Chiefs last year, I have reason to be concerned. And that doesn't include the wind game against the Pats or the opening loss to the Steelers. 1 or 2 bad games is ok, not 5 or 6 of them. We started again this year with the incomplete games. Week in and week out this team is not playing up to what it is capable of doing. You are clearly a recent band-wagon fan. McDermott is inarguably one of the top 4 coaches in the franchise history (62 years long) and arguably top 2. Please move on to root for a team with an all-time great coach like Belichick. They are doing fantastic this year, just like Tomlin's Steelers. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 5 hours ago, Bills2022 said: The Steelers are extremely well coached. Much better than the Bills. This game is not a gimme. My biggest concern is overlooking this game because of the Chiefs the following week. I think people are going to realize we have flaws that the injuries and weather excuses have been covering. 1) We can't run the ball 2) We lack consistency. This is the game to get on track. #1 is true #2 is only true of the offense, the defense has been consistently great The offense has had trouble putting up points in the last two games in tough road environments. But I think they will regain a lot of their form finally coming back home for only their second home game of the season. Also, despite the offensive struggles in the last two road games they put up 500 yards of offense in a loss and scored two TD's and two FG's on their final 5 possessions against the Ravens.

Getting AJ Brown was a great, aggressive move though. Sign me up for having two #1 receivers. If the Bills had that they'd be 4-0 with a bullet right now. Davis is playing hurt. A healthy Davis is a very formidable 1-2 punch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillAndPhilFan Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I am coming over from the UK for the Steelers game. My 6th visit to Orchard Park – Bills have won all the previous 5 (Patriots 2011, Jets 2013, Vikings 2014, Broncos 2017, Dolphins 2019). Confident that this will be 6 out of 6 (38-17).

He is no Lamar Jackson. 4.73 at the combine. Around what Allen ran. Yet, he is not a running threat they could lean on. I would group him in with someone like David Carr or Aaron Rogers regarding his capability and willingness. I don’t expect him to rip off 35 yard runs, but he is capable to extend plays and will keep his eyes down field looking to deliver the ball while on the move. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFBillsfan Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Hopefully, the loss at home last year against the Steelers serves as a vivid reminder the Bills need to be ready to go. If the Bills play to their ability they should win. Control the Steelers running game and pressure Pickett. No gaffes on special teams or gifting Pittsburgh easy points from turnovers. Pitt usually plays tough D, so the offense needs to execute. BillsMafia should be revved up with only the second home game in 5 weeks. Hopefully, Jordan P, Ed and Kumerow can get an extra week to get back to 100%. Lets get the W, come out healthy and move to 4-1. LETS GO BUFFALO!

I don't think he's ready for the NFL and especially the Bills defense at home. I think he's in for an eye opening experience. Pre Draft, I never really liked Pickett. He's not terrible but he's not elite either. He was probably more like a 3rd or 4th round worthy selection. However, we all know how QBs get massive pumps up for obvious reasons. The Steelers had to do something because they didn't have anything at QB. They talked themselves into the local kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
