Who do we want, who do we need as our next HC and, or GM?

As I've said elsewhere there's no delusion like bills fan delusion. This team will NEVER pursue a guy like this. Instead it'll be a Palmer type guy. Bargain bin. Undersized. Cheap. #1 reason we need a change.

 

 

I mean, the talent is there for sure and he would definitely help the offense, but the guy is a headcase. How much of that will come out even more if you give him big $$$? It would make me nervous for us to give him that contract.

17 pages of wishful thinking...sorry to be a wet blanket,  but for those of you who aren't familiar with the owner, Terry Pegula, he also owns the Buffalo Sabres hockey team.

They've had the same GM, who is a likeable guy, who's team hasn't even had a whiff of the playoffs in the 6 years he's been in that position....and hes still around (so far)...

So what do you think the chances are of the same owner firing his GM and/or coach who has won their division each of the last six years??

...This could be a while....

You would think that he is smart enough to see that the Patriots are now the class of the AFC East and it only took them 10 months to get there and that would be a wake up call. A team on the decline with limited cap space and a new stadium should present some urgency to remain relevant. But then again he won't get some new leadership with the new stadium opening.

You know what makes me nervous?

 

A WR room that's so bad you're counting on Gabe Davis to be its savior

Offensive HC is the only option if you make a  change. 

 

Let’s say McDermott stays, fires Brady and brings in a new OC. 
 

New OC turns around offense and with Allen at the helm adds a little flair to his play calling, instantly that OC is on the HC train for someone else and the Bills need bring someone else and a new system. 
 

The main reason for KC and Mahomes success long term has been Andy Reid and a consistent offensive system. 
 

Allen has played like crap, wr group is lacklustre but the offensive philosophy and roster makeup have McDermotts meddling stink all over them.

Schoen and this is where it gets tough.  Probably Daboll,  and I recognize the insanity of taking the guys the Giants fired.  But I don’t know that I’d swap out both GM and coach.  If it’s one or the other,  then it’s easy.  Beane is gone.  He fell in love with his guys and did a lot of overpaying and frankly missed too much.  This years WR room did it for me. 

Does anybody know what the relationship between Beane and Daboll was like?

IMO, that is a byproduct of what McDermott wants, short, high percent passes that keep the clock moving, everything this team does or is is McDermotts baby and everybody is just a yes man to him.

He definitely has a say, but Beane also has a say. Terry said that both men have equal power and only report to him so neither one of them is the boss of the other. They are both responsible for where this team is and sadly it appears to be declining this season.

And yet, the team was a couple bad first down spots from possibly going to the super bowl last year. 

They've averaged nearly 12 wins per season since 2019.

They started out this year as super bowl favorites, then won their first 4 games.  They beat perennial powerhouses from KC and Baltimore.

After a 17 year drought, they've made the post season 7 out of the last 8 years.

So what happened?

Maybe fielding a XFL defense after the starting squad has been completely decimated by injury, starting as early as OTAs and continuing right up until the last game.

Their regular season success has prevented them from drafting high enough to get an impact WR as the blue-chippers are long gone by the time the Bills are up to the podium.

I get that many are disappointed with the trajectory of this season, but this is what sometimes happens in the NFL. Last year the Bills exceed expectations. This year they're experiencing a lot of bad breaks. 

Guess what? They may not make the playoffs this year. It's not the end of the world. They may get eliminated in the first round if they get there. 

Maybe an 'off season' could be a blessing in disguise if they can get a draft pick within the top 20 for a change. With a little maneuvering, they could even drop down into the top 15 and get that impact WR.

Whatever happens Chicken Littles, it's not time to blow it all up and start over. There's still hope.

 

 

The draft is full of busts and great players you saying the end of the first round there's no difference makers is a absolute excuse. It's ridiculous. I can sit here for days and days talking about the great players that have been drafted all threw out the draft and even undrafted players. Beane has no clue what a difference making talent looks like and that's a fact

He has a win percentage of .511. Mike McDaniel has a win percentage of .528. 

Geez, Sean McDermott has a win percentage of .657 with a 140 - 92 win record. Had his team in the playoffs 7 of 8 seasons...can we hire that guy?
