Will He Reinvent Himself: Coach Sean McDermott

what scheme do you prefer??? Bills are 12-3, not 3 - 12 sir -
Spencer Brown deserves his own thread.

Love an offensive lineman with an attitude. Spencer Brown is a bad man who is playing with a serious edge. -
In other words you’re predicting another win?

This is ridiculous It's completely within reason to have issues with McDermott and the defensive side of the ball wilting every postseason being he's a defensive minded coach that made his mark as a DC His winning percentage has more to do with Josh freaking Allen than him or his defense, and his top ten defense in 5 out of 8 years means little when they get completely manhandled when the games become do or die Good coach? Sure. Great coach. No. Josh hasn't even made a championship game despite putting up absurd numbers in numerous playoff games, and that is on McDermott and that defense you are so high on Claiming anyone who believes this as someone that has a personal issue with McDermott is a bad take, dude -
Another great article by LeBrun for The Athletic - LeBrun: There are no easy answers for the questions facing Kevyn Adams’ Sabres snippet: "As the Buffalo Sabres have descended into this 0-10-3 tailspin, landing them last in the NHL in points and headed toward a hard-to-fathom 14th straight season missing the playoffs, I keep thinking about the decisions ownership has made in its general manager hires. Tim Murray was GM from January 2014 to April 2017, Jason Botterill from May 2017 to June 2020, and it’s been Kevyn Adams since then. All three were first-time NHL GMs. That doesn’t mean they weren’t qualified. Everyone has to get their first chance at some point, and especially in the cases of Murray and Botterill, they had worked their way up the NHL scouting and front-office ranks before landing the gig. Regardless, looking at where the franchise is now with the benefit of hindsight, handing the reins to first-time GMs three straight times can’t be glossed over. Listen, no one is complaining in South Florida about first-time NHL GM Bill Zito, nor in Vegas about first-time NHL GM Kelly McCrimmon. But in Zito’s case, he’s got former GMs Rick Dudley, Paul Fenton and Les Jackson surrounding him in his inner circle. McCrimmon has George McPhee. At the very least — especially with Adams, who is a very likable guy with tremendous passion for the sport — couldn’t the Sabres have brought in some sort of mentor to help him along the way? Like how Jim Rutherford is helping along first-time GM Patrik Allvin in Vancouver? Wouldn’t it have made sense to bring in a Ray Shero or someone of that ilk to help support Adams? (Did I mention that Ken Holland is currently a free agent?) Then there’s this point I made when the team fired Botterill: Giving a GM only three years on the job doesn’t make a lot of sense. I don’t know whether Murray or Botterill would have gotten the Sabres over the playoff hump eventually, but I do know three years wasn’t enough time for either to get a fair crack at it. Any longtime NHL team executive will tell you that it takes at least five years for someone to implement their vision on a franchise, especially for a full rebuild."

A stud goaltender, coming out? Not that there's anything wrong with that, just not how I grade draft prospects, lol. For the record I only dropped in to the thread to see comments after my Islanders got pummeled at home so ignore the above and congrats on the W.

Just because the offense didn’t deliver at times does not take away from the horrific and consistently putrid playoff performances which have been discussed to nauseous levels. If you’re of the side that doesn’t agree they have been as awful as some of us feel so be it. We are fielding the 26th ranked EPA defense since week 8. It’s the worst iteration in the McD era. It’s is a finesse defense built outside in and now it can’t even defend the pass. Josh will have to drop multiple 40 point games to have any chance. So happy we have a good culture. Pretty nice day -
Occurring at an average yardage gain depth of 8.5 on first down, bet. 🥴

My heart isn’t frozen. It’s closer to 70 degrees here in SoCal. 😎 -
I expect the Bills to come out flat as F again and get their ass kicked.

Bills are going to pummel the Jets if just to make a point

Yeah.. guess you forgot this part. “The Seattle Seahawks waived linebacker Tyrel Dodson on Monday in a shake-up of their struggling defense. Dodson started all nine games this season for the Seahawks, seven at middle linebacker and the past two games on the weak side after the team traded for middle linebacker Ernest Jones IV on Oct.”

Just depends on who your whipping boy is. The defense may have been to blame in 2020, and 2021 yes. But, 2019 was on the Hall of Fame QB, in 2022 the offense scored 10 points, and last year they missed a field goal. Its not an annual defensive debacle, thats revisionist history. The Super Bowl is hard to win. Especially when your hall of fame QB is playing in the time and conference of a better hall of fame QB. I will never justify 13 seconds, but to constantly bang the McDermott sucks drum is asinine. There is more to the teams failures than just McDermott. Just like there is more to this teams triumphs than just Josh Allen. -
Any stud goaltenders coming out in this next draft?

Based on his recent comments, it seems like he’s auditioning for the rest of the league. I expect his best. Not the kind of guy who is gonna tap out. That’s not his personality at all. He prides himself as someone who plays through pain. McD needs to come up with a good plan to make his day miserable. Show no mercy.

The Bills will roll the Jets and I see Aaron Rodgers tapping out early.

But we’d be doomed without McClappy.
