There's a difference from being disappointed, which is natural - I'm disappointed, too - and concluding the roster is a disaster or that the coach and/or GM are doing a bad job.  Stuff happens, and stuff happened to the Bills, so sure, we're disappointed. McDermott is 6th among active coaches in wins, and he's fourth in winning percentage.  Are the Packers firing Matt LaFleur because he hasn't won a Super Bowl?

 

Might someone else at GM or head coach have won a Super Bowl by now?  Sure, someone. Since McDermott was hired, there probably have been 50 head coach hires. None has a better winning percentage and only three - Sirianni, Zac Taylor, and Dan Quinn - have better playoff winning percentages. 

 

Disappointed?  Yes, but the reality is that the Bills hired one of the very best head coaches available in the past ten years, and one of the best GMs.

 

There's a lot of good discussion to be had about what could or should be done differently, but someone needs to respond to the people on here making up stuff, such as the roster is a disaster.  I know you didn't say that, but you got me going! 

Didn't mean to get you going. Hope this doesn't get you going more. 

 

Not many have stated the case that McD and Beane aren't good. Imho, that's not really up for debate. The real question is are they good enough? That depends on a lot of variables such as  expectations, desires, how someone views football, etc... 

 

I've contended for years that McD isn't good enough. I wanted him gone right after 13 seconds. I've been pretty neutral on Beane. I've never been on the McD sucks train but certainly on the let's move on train because I don't think he can get it done. I think he's had ample chances with Allen as elite QB. It's been one disappointing playoff exit after another for several years.

 

I've seen enough and it sure feels like ground day to me. I firmly believe coaching changes from top to bottom are needed. Brady and Babich are second rate McD picks.

 

I'm not an advocate of being a run first team when you have the best QB in the league. This regime has failed to arm Allen with weapons. That's borderline criminal.

 

The McD defense and make no mistake about it's been his defense for years falls woefully short come playoff time. 

 

Yet, the McD apologists continue to give us statistics and continue to tell us how good he is. He's a great team builder, culture builder, and a nice guy. No debating this. What he's not thus far is someone who can lead the Bills to a Super Bowl. Isn't that the goal? Hadn't that been a realistic goal the last few years despite its level of difficulty? Ask yourself what has prevented the Bills from hoisting the Lombardi trophy? Ask yourself if meaningful change is needed? 

 

Go Bills!!!

They are legitimately talking about letting LaFleur and the GM go and neither got extensions pending this season.

 

Follow the league one time for me.

”That means LaFleur and Gutekunst are expected to either have contract extensions this time next year or the Packers will fire them after the 2025 season”
