Nelius Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Hey what ever happened to Siran Neal? Last I heard he was healthy and still a Bill but he seems harder to find than Elam. Clearly he isn’t being used for his secondary or special teams abilities which seems odd. Is he also in McD’s weird little dog house?

BRH Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 The entire season has been the same game every time. - Open by shooting ourselves in the foot with unforced errors and/or tentative play (which go hand in hand) - Get behind for three quarters to a lesser team, all the while thinking that the next drive is the one where we wake up - Finally turn it on in the last ten minutes, take the lead - Do something inexplicably stupid on the last defensive stand, usually accompanied by crappy ST play (complementary football) - Either get a totally unsatisfying win by the skin of our teeth, or blow it in ridiculous fashion it’s ***** Groundhog Day 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Jones Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 As someone who has been a diehard Bills fan for 50+ years, this is a really tough time right now. Honestly, it doesn’t “get to me” as much as it used to, because with age you get different priorities, but it still brings me down a bit. 1) Josh Allen definitely has regressed, and he’s not who we thought he was. I assume someday he’ll get back to being what he was a couple years ago, but only time will tell. 2) McD and his staff are just average coaches, and borderline incompetent. Pegula needs to clean house at the end of the year. 3) A lot of Bills player are either just dumb or just don’t care, and are just there for the paycheck. The on field execution continues to be abhorrent. 4) They should have never cut Matt Araiza. They caved to the angry, uninformed mob, and they should have stood with their player. 5) Would be very curious to know what this team actually does at practices. I’ve been saying these things for weeks now, and I’ve been laughed at, puked on, red Xed, and thumbs downed. I’ll take apologies today for anybody who is man enough to step up and admit that they were wrong. Finally, there’s always next year! 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team had really bad glaring issues going into this season so I never really got the "hype" for this season. The glue and tape are finally failing and the issues some have predicted are coming to fruition. It sucks to be on the other side of it but my sneaking suspicion is that a lot of the "Bills are legit", "Bills are elite", "JA is Elite", "SB here we come" crowd are young, newly acquired members of the Bills Mafia (dumb name). Everyone needs to be held accountable. From Beane to Josh Allen. JA no longer gets a pass but neither does the Head Coach and OC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Texas A&M just paid over 75 million dollars to get rid of Jimbo Fisher, who I think is more of a football guy than McDermott. Imo McDermott is primarily a self serving salesman. McDermott sold Pegula a line of s#%t with the "process" term that he co-opted from Nick Saban. Pegula bit like a fish and gave him the big majority of, if not full power in the organization. Now we are stuck with poor performance, questionable free agent signings, limited cap space, and lousy, primarily defense based drafts. It is way past time to fire McDermott. He should have already been booted out the door, or at least had much of his power taken away. At this point, he should be fired today or later this week.

boyst Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 alright, i don't say much all the time due to connections but i want to make one thing clear to people who do not know. there is a reason why Sal always defends the defense a little more gentle than others and it is not that he is wrong - but you'll always notice he comes in hard lined defending them. his best contacts in the team to let him know what are going on are 3 or 4 players on defense and very few on offense. he also speaks a lot and quite confidently with mcdermott. he has admitted before and it is clear that he has to take certain approaches and be careful about burning bridges or crossing any players with their trust. sal's best contacts are on defense.

BRH Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Think of being a defensive player on the Bills and waking up this morning, nearly unable to crawl out of bed because you gave everything you had for 37 minutes and change last night, mostly defending your half of the field with little margin for error, only to have it ripped away from you at the end due to some of the worst coaching and execution possible in the other two phases, and a blindingly stupid zero blitz called on your last play, plus having to play 10-on-11 every time Von got wheeled out there, and thinking you have to do this all over again on a short week. It’s like being a fan, except the pain is physical as well as mental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole game was comical. Maybe next year. I kinda did too. I'd usually be upset right now but I'm kinda just numb but watching red zone , parity is at an all time high and there is no definitive SB team imo. It was SF and Bal but both have had ugly losses. More than anything, officiating is killing the game for me. I think we can win any given week or lose any given week and it's like that with majority of teams.

I do give him credit for coaching the Bills to relevancy, for getting respectable players and making the team honorable (for lack of a better word) And yet ... He now has an undeniable track record of gaffes, lack of preparedness and underwhelming schemes. The O is such a mess and I can't understand what happened to this team after the Green Bay game last year. Several here said that last year was emotionally hard on the team. I didn't fully buy into that explanation and this year is devolving as we speak. I sorely miss the period from 2020-mid 2022. We dominated teams and there was no opposing lead which was safe against us. To have such a record with a talent like Allen (who is clearly disinterested and unmotivated) is a fireable offense. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scheme in of itself seems to look and make Allen make split second decisions as well trying to make it as physically difficult as possible. Gabe Davis having option routes being just an example of there being too many extra permutations. Effectively Josh is in his own head because the staff had beaten him over the head with not running and forcing him to both predict where the defense will go as well as his own receivers. To this point a guy could easily be open but Allen may not notice because he has so many other thoughts being processed. Far too much is schemed to require specific circumstances to play out or Allen, "Save Us." 2 weeks in a row he was baited into trying fades to the left; part of me wonders if they were the Option #1 and if Allen doesn't feel he has the time or good routes elsewhere to the point that he almost feels like he has to throw there. Then he just prays it works. Edited November 14, 2023 by thewookie1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
