JMM Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Not for nothing, but it's been a little over 24 hours. Is that really disrespectful? I'm sorry but although I was shocked and sad about the firing, the uproar seems waaaaay over the top. 5 1 17 7 Quote

QB Bills Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Damage control at this point. They likely didn't anticipate the blowback from the fans. Which is ridiculous enough, considering how much heat Beane has been under this season. Seriously worried about the future direction of this team. 1 1 9 1 Quote
HappyDays Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Good reminder that most of the Bills content creators and beat reporters who complained we didn't give him a proper send off didn't actually care about that, and were just looking for reasons to be mad that the team made a move they disagreed with. Anyways. All the stupid propaganda war drama will go away the minute they announce the new head coach and probably even sooner than that. 4 3 5 2 Quote

Would have been even more eff'd up if it was up and running to follow him out the door... like, we've had this on the shelf just in case. 1 2 6 Quote

People are ridiculous to even pretend it was a problem. Edited January 20 by Governor 1 6 Quote

Andy1 Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Looks like they heard the fans. That’s a good first step. Now we need to hear what Bean and Pegula say. 1 Quote
hondo in seattle Posted January 20 Posted January 20 I'm not sure if the Bills did this because they're a classy organization, or because they're trying to appease the players and fans who are angry, or a little bit of both. Speaking as one of the angry fans, it doesn't help. Quote

stlbills13 Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Damage control. They want to settle people down before tomorrow 1 Quote

It is about them putting out a sloppy statement with spelling mistakes and then them not being willing to put out McDermott's statement on team channels and he had to get that to the fans through the media. After 9 years and all he has done he deserved better on both scores. Tribute video be damned. 1 9 1 1 Quote
gonzo1105 Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Some of you guys take every little thing and put it under a magnifying glass. This is why Social Media is terrible for the brain. If they released it yesterday , see they were going to do it for weeks, they release it today , see their hearing our disappointment . Orrrrr……they made the decision yesterday, the social media team had the day off after the season and they were told they had to make a tribute video , find all the proper clips in the archives, edit them, get them approved and then run it in probably 12 hours time 4 4 Quote

So when they have the presser tomorrow they can head off any questions about why they didn't give McDermott a proper send off. To be honest it's almost more insulting to McDermott to hastily throw this together and put it out there the day after he was fired, but whatever they made their token gesture to appease people. 2 2 Quote

Real McCoy Posted January 20 Posted January 20 I'm sure Bills PR group found out when we did of the firing no? It takes a bit of time to find the right clips, editing and so forth to put something like above together. This is the Social media world we live in now unfortunately. 2 2 1 Quote
