I'm just saying, it's not just a reporter saying bad things. It's a lot of former players and coaches. And McD confirmed today that at least one big story from the story is true. I find what was written very credible, even if not provable. Again, in the minority, guess at 71 yrs of age , I focus on , (right or wrong) the sport/game..

loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Just saw something come through now Mcd apologizing for the 911 report. So my guess is he has now read the article. So we have a Bye week where Von gets arrested. Now the team is back to work and this article comes out. The timing of this couldn’t be worse.. Talk about distractions heading into the most important game of the season. There has been enough talk between the Media saying Mcd is holding us back to to the Fans who are exhausted. , Stories like this coming out now and I just don’t understand how it’s not time to probably move on. I have never disliked Mcd, I am very appreciative of what he’s done. But the past two years there as been way much attention being brought his way and not in a good light. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 7 minutes ago, SectionC3 said: McD is totally right about the friends part. However, if he saw where Chad lived (think Paulie Walnuts) and compared that to his own home (think Tony Soprano), then maybe he would have been a little gentler about it. I mean - i think he wanted him to say something like - Blown away by the generosity but I can't accept it, i'll donate it to charity or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know, we're not in the building Maybe, but you have no idea if so. And benching him for that long is still stupid It's like McDermott's trying to act tough, or doing something cause he saw Belichick do it on TV in 2005.

SoonerBillsFan Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 2 hours ago, Wayne Arnold said: Pegula isn't going to fire McDermott because of x's and o's. He's not smart enough to do that. He'll only fire McDermott if the public pressure is too much to overcome. Articles like this helps with that. Keep em comin. He knows he has to sell PSL's, season tickets and suites for the new stadium. Right now he can't keep McDermott and do that. Honestly, Allen needs to have a sitdown with Terry and say, "he goes or I go". Im just sick of this BS. With the talent we have had especially in the 2020 and 2021 seasons we should have had a Superbowl win. We aren't getting there with McDermott. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he scored that TD a few years ago and screamed "IM BAAAAAAAACK" that was the last straw for me. We're not back, cam's back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Stonada Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 "The coach who instills belief — real belief — is the coach who’ll win in January. The bigger the game, the bigger the moment, McDermott freezes. As his defense struggles, McDermott only turns more conservative. Buffalo’s win over the Buccaneers should’ve never boiled down to Chris Godwin failing to turn around on a Hail Mary. When the Bills’ offense had its foot firmly above Tampa Bay’s throat, up 24-10, McDermott punted four times at midfield to end the game: Fourth and 5 from the Bills 49, fourth and 9 from the Bucs 47, fourth and 2 from the Bucs 44 and fourth and 1 from the Bucs 48. With Josh Allen at quarterback." Hit piece or no hit piece, this is right on the money. The guy plays scared and it infects our team. 1 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 This is, in my memory at least, one of the all-time most savage hit pieces ever put out there by a sports writer. EVER. It is a straight-up hit job and Dunne surely knows it. Not saying any of it is wrong, in fact it all makes COMPLETE sense to me and is exactly what I'd assumed based on the results on the field, the demeanor of McD's press conferences, and the rest of the "smoke" surrounding the franchise over the past few years (Dabs, Leslie, Diggs, etc.). But it is SAVAGE. (I will add, some of you are just conditioned to completely distrust "media elites" no matter what, but especially when the message is something you'd rather not hear. You should, um, do some work on that.) 3 1 1 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
