Sources say ZERO PERCENT chance McD is fired
JohnNord replied to Brand J's topic in The Stadium Wall
I actually agree with Gregggg here. I don’t think Terry regrets giving Sean that much power because for the most the part he’s done a great job. Look at the Bills from 2014-2017 when he first bought them. An absolute shitshow filled with cronies from the Ralph and sheer incompetence from Doug Whaley. McDermott comes in with a detailed plan how to fix things and actually does it both on and off the field. If Terry was unsatisfied with Sean as HC, it wouldn’t be hard to part ways. I guess you may have to worry about how the GM will work with the next HC, but that’s how it goes. I think Terry still believes in Sean -

It is to some fans here who were convinced Brandon Beane was going to tell Terry to fire McDermott! -

In McDermott we trust… he will be head coach in 2024. Maybe longer -

It’s not working for a 6-5 Houston Texans led by a former DC from San Fran It’s likely Dunkirk Don -

It won’t make a damn difference for 2024 -
Just not the same player. He’s pulling out all of his old tricks from speed rushing, to bull rushing, to the ghost move and none of it’s working

Kneel Down Game: Final Nail in McD’s Coach Coffin
JohnNord replied to Thrivefourfive's topic in The Stadium Wall
Tim Graham: “Asked if there was any chance Pegula would fire McDermott, two of the sources replied “Zero.” The other two sources said they would be shocked if Pegula made such a move. All four sources have intimate knowledge of the Pegula-McDermott relationship.” 🤣🤣🤣 -
This is pretty spot on… though most GM’s don’t say anything too crazy during the end of season presser either. I’d expect him to play the injury card up quite a bit on defense: ”Any time you lose players like Matt Milano, DaQuan Jones, and Tre White for the season, it’s going to be challenging to win in this league. As good as they are ON the field, the presence they have as leaders in the locker room is HUGE.”

These stats aren’t too surprising. Many people have commented on Von Miller looks like the worst edge rusher on the roster.

It’s not a great situation but teams always figure this out through re-structures etc. It means that there won’t be any “big ticket” signings as Brandon Beane like to say, again. But I would be shocked if the Bills release Dawkins or Johnson. I do think they are bracing for 2025 to be a bit of a cap reset year which is why they need to hit on some picks again this year.

An annoying thing with merging threads/topics
JohnNord replied to Bills fan since 87's topic in The Stadium Wall
I 100% agree. Merging so many threads together has made it nearly impossible to find the most recent news on a topic. You have to start at the back of the back of a page and the go back until you can find the original post. It makes the inexperience incredibly inefficient and hard to navigate. I never saw a problem with multiple threads on the same topic as long as it wasn’t the same *exact* topic repeated twice. @Bills fan since 87 we salute you 🍻 -
Random talking head says something about the Bills
JohnNord replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall
Florio is a great example of a national reporter speculating about a situation with little context or insight. We’ve seen this happen a lot with the Bills. He’s just guessing. -
McDermott's Two Minute Defense This Year vs Past Seasons
JohnNord replied to Scott7975's topic in The Stadium Wall
This list is inaccurate. 2022: The Bills defense actually made the stop at the goal line against Minnesota. Josh fumbled the ball in the end zone and then threw an INT in the end zone to lose the game. 2021: The Bills held the ball last and botched the 4th and inches. 2019: The Bills offense was on the field at the end of the game and also had a chance to tie but Hauschka missed the FG. The discussion here was about his defense on the final possession of games (inside 2 minutes). Not the possession before the final 2 minutes. great example of moving the goal posts to confirm a bias. The game was also over because the defense made a clutch stop…. Then Josh fumbled in the end zone. Funny how BT forgot that part 😂😂😂 -
Von Miller faces arrest in domestic violence case in Dallas
JohnNord replied to ArdmoreRyno's topic in The Stadium Wall
Eh, this freaking sucks. Hate to see one of our players in a headline like this even if it is untrue. Hope that’s the case -
This is a very good question that no one in the media seems to know because Terry never talks! All of his top executives have been fired over the years like Russ Brandon or Ron Raccuia (though he probably should never take football advice from them to begin with) This leads me to be believe that he leaves his football people (Beane and McDermott) and his hockey people (Kevin Adams) to largely run the show. But in the past I remember reporters (Tim Graham) say that Pegula did get advice from people outside the organization both on a formal and informal basis. Years ago, I feel one of those people were Bill Polian. Of course, this was before the McDermott hire. To those who have guessed Jerry Jones? It could be correct. I know he hired Legends Hospitality to take over the concessions. But seeing how Jones has been very loyal to Jason Garrett and Mike McCarthy, this would not bode well for the Fire McDermott crowd. But the Bills hired Jerry’s Legends Hospitality company to take over concessions, so he now has a direct interest in the team.

I thought you were the one consulting with Mr. Pegula

Rumor re: Brandon Staley (to be let go at year's end)
JohnNord replied to zow2's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yeah I guess I want to see what happens with Detroit down the line rather than handing him the reigns like some people want to. -
Historically, 30 is the age when WR’s begin to lose a step. Fortunately for Diggs, his game relies more on precise route running than speed or explosiveness. So I think he might be like a Jerry Rice who put good numbers into his 30’s

Jets Officially Open Rodgers 21 Day Window. Back to Practice.
JohnNord replied to BuffaloBillyG's topic in The Stadium Wall
Speaking of that, the fact that TO played in the SB is incredible. Not just that he played but also his performance. It’s too bad Philadelphia lost because it would have been one of the greatest legends in sports. Of course unlike Rodgers, TO actually had something to play for -
Jets Officially Open Rodgers 21 Day Window. Back to Practice.
JohnNord replied to BuffaloBillyG's topic in The Stadium Wall
Rodgers has been saying he wants to return this season but on McAfee he said it will depend on his health and where the Jets are in the playoffs. So I’m skeptical he actually returns this season. If he does it will be the dumbest risk Rodgers or the Jets have ever taken. -

JohnNord replied to zow2's topic in The Stadium Wall
Staley was a media darling a few years ago because he’d go on these passionate philosophical rants at his press conference and because he’d always go for it on 4th down. I think after his rookie season when his 4th down decisions backfired and theyu missed the playoffs, he was reeled in. Oddly enough the downfall of his teams were always defense
