I’m not opposed to firing McD. I’m just worried more about Pegula replacing him with someone better

Thankfully, it would be Beane replacing him moreso than Pegula.

Terry Pegula doesn’t know what he’s doing though. It’s happening.

 

That's what you hope will happen.

Why is it dumb? He has failed to find a bona-fide #2 wr...his draft picks have been skewed to underachieving defense picks and he has old vets all over this roster and the cap is tight and no money to replace all the holes that are popping up now morse,hyde,poyer,von,tre,....just the von money would have bought allen his own higgins/waddle caliber wr opposite Diggs..bean has been lockstep with mcclappy and totally built this team opposite of how the modern nfl works..it's an offense driven league and bean has focused too much on the defense for his buddy McDermott 

 

It's dumb because you are cherry picking mistakes and ignoring the whole picture. Do the Bills have  Super Bowl caliber talent? Well those players didn't just wander into One Bills Drive, did they.

I definitely would hire the opposite type of coach. I don’t want anything to do with Belichick.

Okay, give me a name. Who's the can't-miss coordinator that's ready for the big job? The next Robert Salah or Brian Daboll?

I've been a big McDermott supporter until now. It sounds simple enough but it's his in game management that is the problem.

The Bills came to this game with an excellent game plan. They had absolutely stifled the Eagles in the first half.

 The Eagles just tweaked their game plan a bit to have their runs go just a little more off tackle than they had been, and it really opened things up. McDermott had no answers. 

 In post game interviews, even Oliver seemed a little baffled by the soft zone at the end of the game saying they just nickeled and died us down the field...if he could see that why didn't the coaches.

  FAILURE to close out games when you have  lead on numerous occasions this season is unacceptable and must be addressed.

Johnson? Slowik? If they fail, then the Bills have an easier strength and higher draft pick position in 2025. If they succeed, then everyone's happy.

 

At the moment, they're in purgatory and McDermott is not learning from his mistakes.

I’ve said it already that I think we have peaked under McD. A change seems needed at this point and we already have something most times don’t have when they are looking for a new HC: a franchise QB entering his prime. 
 

Logic says we should be a top team for any potential HC.

If we fire McD then I’d fore Beane as well. 

I agree with the response to my post. However, I think Beane deserves the opportunity to hire his own HC. Gotta remember…it was McD that hired Beane…not the other way around. 

[Since1981]

6 losses of avg of 4 points. That points to coach 

Can anybody make the case that a top HC or OC isn’t worth 4 pts/game?

 

brady move proved it.

McD is very replaceable

There’s definitely not a hot name. But Seahawks OC Shane Waldron is my guy. Not a top offense but has done enough with turning around Geno Smith’s career to want me to see what he could do with Allen. Also comes from the Sean McVay tree.

 

The biggest thing though is they need a smart leader. I don’t need just an OC at head coach. They have to be able to lead the entire team. What is the defensive philosophy? Who are DC candidates? It all matters. I’m not just looking for the top ranked offenses.

 

Wes Phillips is another guy I would definitely talk to.

McDermott is Marty Schottenheimer 2.0. Good enough to return a moribund franchise to respectability but not good enough to get them over the hump. There is a large enough body of work at this point which shows his incompetence in big game situations and he's either too stubborn or too obtuse to learn from his mistakes. Unfortunately, I don't see Pegula firing his high character, Christian coach and we will witness Josh Allen's career be wasted under Marty McDermott. I'd rather win with the devil than lose with an angel.

McDermott apologists need to stop offering up excuses. This has been a repeated problem over and over again,  so many heart breaking losses in the past 3 seasons and we cannot continue wasting Allen's prime years.  He screws up and makes stupid decisions in crunch time ,  on 13 secs it was everyone elses fault but him.  How about calling a timeout before the kickoff to make sure your kicker knows you want to squib kick it. Special team coordinator gone and his buddy Beanne telling media and fans will get to the bottom of this,  I promise you that Beane told the media the very next day.

 

As for the injury excuse,  our offence has been healthy all season outside of Knox and defence was healthy first game of the year against Jets and could not get it done making Zach Wilson look good.  They could not get a stop against the Pats on final drive and made Mac Jones look good.  They easily could have lost to both the Bucs and Giants who had final drives that could have had penalties in the zone on final play.  If those games are on the road the refs are throwing the flag.  The could not get a stop against Broncos and then then sent out 12 men on missed FG.

 

Yesterday Mcdermott wastes second time out trying to ice the kicker rather then saving it for final attempt at FG. You had 20 secs and one timeout and kneel down.  This guy then has the nerve to tell the media "will learn from this" after the game yesterday.  Said the same thing after KC playoff loss but they got into FG with 13 secs,  so what did you learn that day. His buddy Beane has been the enabler, allowing him make himself DC when that just is not practical or allowing him to punish his first round pick Elam because he does not fit well in McDermott's stupid soft zone defence.  We have Elam on IR with a bad ankle for weeks and call up a DB from the practice squad before giving him another opportunity.

 

Elam is the most athletic and fastest DB on the roster. It was Elam who made picks in both our wins against KC and in Dolphin playoff game.  Sorry but McDermott is not an elite HC and prefers older guys because he has limited coaching skills or he finds a way to get an athletic DB on the field. For those who don't agree then explain why both Hyde and Poyer are still playing into their 30's.  Was there any teams interested in Poyer as a free agent,  neither guy has a athletic ability and both are far too slow to make plays on either TD throw into the zone by Hurt yesterday.

 

Again after another very painful loss where I could not sleep well I am interested to listen any remaining McDermott supporters on why he should remain HC next season.  

 

Please be brave and don't hide until after our next win

If we miss the playoffs I'd move on. I think it would be the right call. I have been pretty sceptical that Terry would. But this is interesting.

The reality is we got into the playoff that first season by luck,  Cincy made some amazing late game TD pass and that allowed Bills to get playoff birth.  Once Allen came to town taking the playoffs was no big deal.

 

We need to stop talking like this guy won 2-3 SUPERBOWLS and deserves a job for life.  Philly fired their HC 3 seasons after winning a Super Bowl and Mcdermott gets a pass after 13 secs.  Look at the season and all the late game losses,  it's time to move on

[jaab1028]

The NFL should launch an investigation to determine wether or not Sean McDermott is affiliated with any criminal activity.No one and no team is this unlucky and the only way to find out is to fire his a**.,enough is enough of "We have to find the problem and fix quickly"

[Coach Tuesday]

Sean Mcdermott is 0-6 in overtime despite having one of the best QBs on the planet.  I’d fire him as soon as the season ends.  It’s over.

Reading thru these threads, I've only seen one that I can recall. Maybe there are still a few but there are fewer and fewer willing to stay on 'The Island of Misfit Toys'.
