Terry and a lot of fans feel that simply a Divisional Round exit with an elite QB is a huge accomplishment. It’s happened 3 years in a row and they want more of it. I think if it was somewhere else, this could be a good analysis of the situation by Brady. Here, I’m not so sure. I guess if the offense is solid he probably feels he could still get hired away. If McD loses to the Chiefs in the post-season next year then I think he’s toast and I would 100% agree w/ that decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's hilarious. What exactly do you want? The owner cleaning house every year we don't win it all?

Don't be so sure of that. The Eagles did move on from Reid and he accomplished more with them then McDermott has with the Bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that’s an unreasonable expectation with having arguably the 2nd best qb in all of football. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't put that fine a point on it, but next offseason is a logical point to make a regime or HC change. Tabling the conversation about how warranted that would be, a lot of expensive vets will be gone after next year and the Bills will want a HC in place that they are confident will be here for the long haul because this team will be in a position to spend to acquire players for that coach's system. It would be a huge mistake to allow that to happen and then change coaches. If McDermott is here for that transition, then I'd expect him to be here long enough to get another contract extension. Or we will have a new HC. On a related note, that logical pivot point is putting some pressure on McDermott regardless of how his long term tenure is regarded by the Pegulas. He's not dumb. He can see it. That is why I expect less turnover than many others. If I was in that spot there's no way I'd be taking the risk of flipping the roster. That can wait until next offseason. 2024 would be a push to win it all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billieve420 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 (edited) I could see a regime change prior to opening of the new stadium if team continues to spin its wheels. Especially when it comes time to sell those PSLs. Edited February 5 by billieve420 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s driving a lot of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Buck Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 As much as McD exasperates me, he didn't miss Diggs on the crossing route to ensure a first down late in the Divisional round. Josh makes that throw, rather than the kill shot, we likely win or at least give Bass a chip shot. If I'm Brady, that's the first piece of tape I show Josh when camp opens next year.

Guess he writes about people he feels personally scorned by when getting denied credentials given he is not a real journalist. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thought pattern 2022- way too much hype in the offseason, the Tops shooting, the 7 foot snowstorm, and Hamlin almost dying on live TV burnt the team out in the long run. 2023- I know injuries are a part of the game but I thought the Bills were still unlucky in this regard last year. So yeah for one more year I think I am okay seeing things hopefully naturally progress. Edited February 6 by Another Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah for one more year I think I am okay seeing things hopefully naturally progress. You never know what can happen. It’s certainly within the realm of possibility that the team can take a step forward. Mostly I'm resigned to more of the same With McDermott though. At some point the players have to lose confidence. I think they believe in Allen, but I don’t think they believe that they’ll win in the playoffs - not with this HC and against a quality opponent. I really hated to hear McDermott bring up the injuries. Your leader can’t make excuses. The team has to understand that there’s no such thing as a valid excuse. Regardless he’s got at least 2024 to show what he can do for the team. Nothing to do except hope for the best. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
