Coaching is the key!

We don't talk about this enough:

 

Why do most other teams have experienced coordinators - but we "promote from within?"

 

I don't mind McDermott as a culture guy & HC, IF we had legit, experienced & proven coordinators.  This is completely malpractice w/ a contending team.  I don't know why we think it's "better."

 

Outsiders don't know how to be Billsy.

He made a mistake firing McDermott.   That's CLEARLY the point.

 

No he didn't,that is the point.

 

One is a multi time SB coach, the others terrible scheme is whe we dont get to a superbowl.

Extremely well said. They’ve completely run out of ideas at this point. Those of you thinking the current regime is going to suddenly wake up and install a completely different strategy are kidding yourselves. It ain’t gonna happen. Coaches get entrenched in what they do and they’re extremely reluctant to change. They’re no different than any of us are at our jobs. I cannot tell you how many years I gave really good employees advice at their annual review only to find myself saying the exact same thing the very next year. It’s normal. 

Thanks, you're making a really good point there as well.  It takes a certain level of ego and arrogance to be a coach at that level, you have to believe that your scheme and installment of that scheme is the right decision. There's no room for doubt in high pressure situations. 

 

The likelihood that they will make a 180 and be introspective on their decision tree is hard for me to believe, and that's okay. Maybe with a slightly different personnel and a slightly different opponent you would have gotten the job done and won a SB.  That's not the way the chips fell though.

 

I'm not even mad. Frustrated, sure, but I appreciate what they've done for the Bills. No hard feelings, but let's make a change.

I really hate the fact that we don't have a normal NFL franchise hierarchy. What needs to happen is for Beane to force McDermott to get a whole new staff, like what Roseman did to Sirianni before the 2024 season. Before that, we was calling offensive plays and the DC was an internal hire. But because the HC is above the GM in the organizational hierarchy, who is going to force any changes? Who would fire him, for that matter? Pegula? He doesn't seem to care.

Watching most of the other games today, it is so obvious how bad our coaching is compared to other teams, and I include McD in that. Brady is god awful and needs to be fired. He had a scheme that worked last year and made no adjustments to it this year. He just ran the exact same scheme back and has no ability to adjust during the game. I can think of 8 OCs that I watched today that Brady isn’t even in the same galaxy as, and that includes some that lost. It’s one thing if the scheme is sound and the players don’t execute. Our problem is that the scheme doesn’t work, teams know EXACTLY what we are doing, and our entire offense is based on Josh making Super Josh off script plays. 

 

We need a complete house cleaning from GM to water boy. It won’t happen. Pegula is just happy to be competitive, along with 90% of our team. I’m really sick of fkn Dawkins and his Shnowman crap. Calling out Keon then giving up on play after play and having the most false starts in the league. STFU until you actually start playing well you fat tub of goo.

It's a roster building problem if u ask me. 

 

Imagine we retained Mack hollins and also picked up George Pickens instead of Palmer and Moore. Imagine how much better this offense would be 

That is so prophetic. I just watched Pickens make an amazing catch against Philly.  And Hollins is a big cog in the Pats offense.  
 

it’s like Beane purposefully wants a trash roster.  Is he really this bad in talent evaluation and roster construction?  You got the QB.  You have a very good RB.  Yet you can’t find any impact receivers or defensive players.  (The NFL is a league of speed and athleticism.  And we draft Keon Coleman)  How is that possible?  Our D line gets no pass rush year after year.  Every team has guys that can rush the passer.  We have none. What are we doing?  We have no receivers and no studs on defense 

 

it is beyond frustrating.

Keon Coleman is the most talented receiver on this team. If he was on any other team besides Seattle, he would be the number one or number two receiver, hands-down

Sitting here watching the NFL Redzone of the teams that are playing today. It’s just amazing how well coached the Colts, Bears, Patriots and Seahawks are. Looking at the rosters we have just as much talent as all four of these teams. What is the difference? COACHING! As crazy as this might sound, but Keon Coleman is the most talented receiver on this team. If he was on any other team besides Seattle, he would be the number one or number two receiver, hands-down. Aside from all the bad draft picks this team has enough talent to be at minimum 9 and 2 at this point in the season. I know the best solution is to let the season play itself out, but we cannot roll out with the same management and coaching staff next year. This has been such a disappointing season. I feel for the fans who paid their hard earned money to see the product that McDermott and Beane has put out there. But most of all I feel so bad for Josh Allen. Generational quarterback, just being wasted. Please Terry make the move and stop this sinking ship! 

Colts are so well coached that they had a 3-point lead, the ball at the 50 with 5 minutes left and threw it twice, and one pass should have been intercepted had two Chief's not fought for the ball.  That was the dumbest crap I have ever seen.   18 yards of offense in the 4th quarter.  They handed KC the game.  Yep, that's well coached.

Ben Johnson is doing some impressive coaching in Chicago.

 

That team is not great and they are 8-3.

No I am not. The OP claimed he'd be the #1 on all those teams he listed except Seattle. That's utter insanity.

Oh I see that now, I missed his comment about that.  Yeah that’s insane comment

Pickens open across the middle - 9 catches -if we had just one like him.

[Since1981]

The question is: if Sean were unemployed, would any NFL team hire him as a head coach or defensive coordinator? I’m inclined to say no.

 

Coaches and GMs aren’t bound by the salary cap, so unlike players, teams can simply outbid or overpay for the right coach. It’s time to start recruiting.

[BuffaloBillsGospel2014]

If we don't get a new OC and DC (who is actually better than Sean McDermott) then this team will start sinking faster than the Titanic. Joe Brady has 0 creativity, that hook & ladder play was the first time I've seen even a sign of life from him and it only came because of a 4th and 26 play. Babich was a solid choice in the offseason but I think we need a real DC who brings his own scheme to match the players we already have, I'm not sure if such a guy is going to be available but we're in deep ***** if we continue to run McDermotts (everyone scores) defense once again next year.
