To young and fast for Brandon Beane 

 

Maybe Aiyuk can workout with Keon.

Dont care.  The good guy squad can’t get it done.  I hope he races his car tonight too.

More than Coleman

 

I feel like Aiyuk wasn't jewelry shopping at Macy's.

Every thread here turns into fire Beane.  Fire McDermott.  
 

Like a goof ball such as Terry Pegula will make magical moves to improve the team?   Not gonna happen.  
 

Terry is too busy watching the stadium cost overruns and worried about opening day of NEXT year.    His wife is not well.  His hockey team is run by two guys on expiring contracts after THIS season.  

 

Terry is not firing either of them.  He likes them.  

 

I agree with your take and would add that Pegula likes both halves of McBeane, and that he doesn't want to de-stabilize the front office in advance of the new stadium.

 

However nothing lasts forever and the heat has definitely been turned up on this situation. As I pointed out, the Miami loss was the first time in this administration that the majority of fans and media became skeptics and doubters. This group now outnumbers the supporters.

 

It would be interesting to re-visit this discussion after a possible Bills collapse. Could the Bills lose in Pittsburgh playing against TJ Watt without Dawkins and Spencer? Easily. Could the Bills lose to a resurgent Cincinnati team with Joe Burrow at the helm? In this scenario the Bills will have lost 4 of their last 5 and be in jeopardy of missing the playoffs.

 

Things could change very quickly.

I don't see there's any place where Beane can fire McDermott 

 

Sean was here first and drafted our first draft class with whaley with pro bowlers without beane 

 

Signed hide and poyer without Beane 

 

If anything McDermott has a year safe without beane.. and he would be the guy to go 

 

Sean can only work with what he's given and according to this entire board nobody thinks he has a top five or seven roster 

 

That's on the GM who's getting paid millions and millions of dollars

 

It hasn't come up in this discussion that McDermott and Beane both report directly and separately to Pegula... which means that on the organizational chart, McDermott is not Beane's boss nor visa versa.

 

While McDermott got here first, Beane occupies what is typically thought of as the higher position so that's a wash. But in terms of organizational structure they are essentially co-equals.

 

In good times, it'll be "all for one and one for all" but in a collapse scenario could it turn into "each man for himself?" Being as they both have the owner's ear, there is a scenario where their organizational survival morphs into a Bill Cowher/Tom Donahoe power struggle.

 

I'm not saying it will happen but it could happen.
