Billsfan1972 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Absolutely right on. No playoffs and he needs to go. Hit the nail on the head it is all about Allen and Pegula needs to understand that. Then there's just terrible in game decisions and a Defensive minded coach, whose defense can't make the stop when counted on. 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he says it with such conviction. This is the most solid proof yet that neither are going anywhere. 1 1 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to hear from Terry Pegula even though I know that won't happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Just now, Gregg said: I would love to hear from Terry Pegula even though I know that won't happen. We might hear from him after the season. Hearing from him right now, I don't think he'd be saying anything concrete anyway. Be a lot of "Well this isn't going how we thought this year." that would just lead everyone into reading whatever their own preconceived notions was prior. Would do more harm then good...and especially because Terry isn't a very good public speaker lol. My personal feeling is we will hear from Terry IF there is a GM or HC change. Otherwise it will just be Beane at the season ending presser talking about the injuries and being tight against the cap. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 talking heads saying anything these days is just insane. there are so many just talking that you can easily find your confirmation bias. i am 100% sure i can find a news source of reputable knowledge saying with conviction there is no way Beane or McDermott will be fired. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie2times Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 What’s hard for me with all of this is just trying to set the bar if he does return. What is it? Super Bowl or bust? Surely another failed playoff attempt wouldn’t be deemed successful. Seems like a pretty bad situation for all involved. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. A lot of what is out there is BS. It's not like Florio is some scrub hack with 10 followers on twitter. I am sure he has legit connections in the league. That doesn't mean McDermott is getting fired either. We will see how the season plays out and if anything happens it will be once the games are over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more "championship caliber" banners when you miss the playoffs Time to get a coach in here who promotes that thinking without it being on a banner in a practice facility.

peterpan Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) I’d like to keep Beane. While not perfect this roster is pretty darn good. I trust him to bring in the right coach. If someone told me 6-6 with this roster, before the season, I’d have assumed Allen missed 4 games and we went 0-4 without him Edited November 30, 2023 by peterpan 4 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can it be acceptable in any universe that McDermott doesn’t get canned if they miss the playoffs. This is a playoff roster and Pegula has got to hold his coach accountable. If not the precedent is set for it to be ok with not getting results. That will trickle down through the whole team all the way to the waterboys. But then again this world with its narratives doesn’t function on reality anymore so who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasternOHBillsFan Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) If we miss the playoffs and McDermott doesn't get fired after this season, we're completely out of any shot at a Super Bowl and in the end Beane will not survive in the end. 2024 will be a lot of the same and nobody will want to remain on a rebuilding team, period. Do we REALLY want to be another L.A. Chargers and wait too long to pull the trigger??!? I don't want to be. Josh Allen is CLEARLY a better talent than Herbert, but he's older and has less time left in prime years. Retaining a head coach who is so confident (bordering on arrogant) in his defensive coaching abilities that he couldn't keep Jim Schwartz around and let Leslie Frasier leave and took over the DC duties AND STILL FAILS to put his defense in the best position to succeed is a terrible decision. ENOUGH WITH THIS "THE MEDIA NARRATIVE" BS... MCDERMOTT HAS GOT TO GO. Edited November 30, 2023 by EasternOHBillsFan 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will see how the season plays out and if anything happens it will be once the games are over. The devil, as always is in the details. Notice he says he thinks, not he's hearing. In other words, it's what he would do and it sets him up for next season very well to keep scorching McDermott should the Bills keep him. Nothing to do with connections. IMO, the people to watch right now are the local guys.Watch their tone when it comes to McDermott over the next few weeks. It's almost like some get their talking points directly from the Bills. Like this week, many of the local guys are already floating excuses out there saying McDermott has done a solid job but the injuries have mounted and there's nothing he can do. It's almost like they are testing the waters to see what fans will take as an excuse. An example of this is early this season. Right after the Miami game local media was full praise and love for Ken Dorsey. They had put up 38, 37 and 48 over the last 3 games. Fast forward just 2 weeks and they are asking McDermott if Dorsey should have play calling duties removed. And we saw where that led. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 After this season's weird events, I was ready for Sean to empty his desk after the Denver debacle. Then we have more weirdness in the Philly game with the kneel down, and McD's defense failing TWICE to close out the game at the end of regulation and OT. Basically it's run the table, or time to leave. For the rest of his career in Buffalo, Josh Allen needs an offensive head coach who he is in total sync with...not a revolving door of offensive coordinators. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at what is going on in Dallas right now... everyone is singing the praises of Mike McCarthy and Dak because they are beating up on bad teams. Soon they will be hitting the tough part of their schedule, and I bet in 3 weeks people will be once again jump right on McCarthy and Dak for their pitiful performances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jrb1979 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I can see them cleaning house if they don't make the playoffs. The team needs a successful season next year to drive ticket sales for the new stadium. Coming back with the same regime and most likely a retool as lot of defensive guys are older will be a tough sell for casual fans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the articles written this week by the "independent" local guys. They are mostly all supportive of McDermott right now. By the "rest of Buffalo" you mean the podcasts and fans then, yes you would be correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
