Dude what are you talking about?? How is your first thought about this a race thing?

Diggs has issue with things. McD and Beane are rewarded. Could be related could be not. We knows maybe Diggs went as far as saying the team needs a change in leadership and this is the message no it does not.

It’s not about failing to reach expectations. It’s about HOW they failed which falls on McDermott.
 

I still believe McDermott’s seat gets hotter if the Bills get blown out again in the playoffs as opposed to missing the wildcard cut at 10-7.

There go the people who thought they were on the hot seat which I found laughable.

I didn't think they were on the ho seat. I also wouldn't extend them, not yet anyway. Most of these guys been watching football since birth. How long have you been in country?

This is going to be an unpopular take. But the timing is interesting. Could it be a message from ownership to the players, especially the black players. The GM and coach are my guys, you are a player aka the staff and need to know your place. Diggs speaking up and challenging the coach and GM stirred the pot. So Pegula needs to show that he stands with them. Who knows maybe some of the character guys talk bothers players. It can be viewed as a certain way to some of the black players. It was interesting in the comments around this extension, specifically calling out being a good Christian, etc. 

 

Sure buddy. Got any more fan fiction for us? 
 

By the way, these extensions have been done for a while. They were just announced today. So your timing argument is just as invalid as the rest of these scribblings.

But, why?

 

Didn't they have several years of contract left?  

 

Was thru 2025

 

Strange to extend now.  

 

Guessing that Pegs for emotional and wanted them to christen the new stadium.

 

Let's hope that faith was well placed.

It's excusable when you got 3 SB's and 2 wins there

 

Is it excusable when you are 1-4 between 2015 and 2018 after not getting it done in Philly? 

 

I love the argument that Reid needed a QB during those years, but McDermott would "do nothing" without Allen 😂

Some Heads around here are exploding as we type, 😂

K extensions, especially with Pegula, do NOT mean they will be employed through the term of the new deal.

 

It just means they were extended.  If Pegula decides one or both have to go before end of term, they'll be gone and he'll eat the K.

 

He did precisely that with Sabres long time GM Darcy Regier.  Got a big multi-year extension a matter of months before he was fired.

 

This is basically meaningless information if you are trying to speculate about the future.

Exactly.  As the owners have stated, their expectations, for both the Bills and Sabres, are sustainable success with an opportunity to win championships.  Beane and McDermott have done that.  Adams and Granato are building the same way.  They want to win championships, but I think it is highly unlikely that Terry Pegula abandons the goal of sustainable success based on whim, or short term disappointment, or certainly fan expectations.  Their time will come.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Pegula offered them raises out of the blue because of all the bad media.

This was the first thing I was thinking also.

 

What better way to get people to stop making claims about rifts between the players and coaches than extending them.

 

I have no problem with the extension because they have done well enough to deserve it and it doesn't mean that thinks can't change later on.

They don’t underperform. That’s the thing. At least not consistently. They are 1 of 2 teams to win a playoff game each of the last 3 years.

 

Two wild-card games and a Divisional game?

 

With Allen?  

 

I certainly hope that fan expectations going forward are higher than that. 

 

Just sayin''

I read a report that states McD and Beane were secretly conspiring to walk out on the team if they weren’t given an extension. They voiced their concerns with resignation papers in hand.  Terry folded to the pressure and here we are.

Methinks he had more of an issue with McD, and he probably got a phone call from McD, Beane, and TP after all the bad press.
