Wasn't he connected to Doug Whaley? Not saying he doesn't know his stuff as did serve in the NFL but he may be a tad biased.
Basically McDermott fired Monos and Whaley. He doesn’t hold a grudge or anything.

Yeah KC drafts are overrated. But they and other teams have done a much better job making late first-round picks work.
My issues with the Bills drafts, and I have stated this before, they reach for need in round one. Passing on guys like Tyler Linderbaum, George Karlaftis multiple other players right after the Elam pick...Cooper DeJean...we could have used Nolan Smith, maybe Sam LaPorta. Boogie Basham and Cody Ford picks cost us dearly. We picked twice in round three and passed on Maxx Crosby in 2019.
They reach for need and pick the wrong players. The first round of the draft is for BPA not filling holes. Until they change their drafting philosophy, we will struggle to find blue-chippers.
Didn’t they trade up for Elam, Kincaid, and Ford?

Criticism is fair. Elam, Kincaid, Coleman, Basham is bad.
Coleman’s ceiling is so low. -
I’m interested but I want a say in the QB.

What I meant was this holographic stadium shows a canopy that goes completely around the stadium. This was a design that was proposed way back. But I think the stadium they are actually building leaves the endzones uncovered. Am I wrong?
Edit: Apparently I am wrong. I just watched the drone video and it shows a covered end zone. So never mind.
Yeah. Originally I think it wasn’t fully enclosed. Thank goodness they changed that. Fully enclosed will seriously lower the wind impact.

Isn't this an old version of the new stadium? I thought the end zones were uncovered now in the latest version?
Not sure what you’re asking. The entire field is uncovered plus about 35% of the stands.
But the entire stadium is fully enclosed.

This is a shame. Cook was just starting to be legit loved by most of us
Not a wise approach on his part. His brother and others having a bad influence.Pay no attention to the business side of it.
Fans only look at one side. As soon as Cook can’t play at a top level we’re ready to cut him. But when he wants more money and tries to put pressure on the team we get upset.
Its all business.

I think this player has to be a non QB starter.
Im going with the “Punt Catcher” Chris Watson.
Eddie Robinson was a close second because I’ll never get the image of him getting his ankles broken by Chad Pennington out of my head.

They’re taking a couple for sure.
This would also help make trading for top veteran DL more realistic. The teams trading those players can get multiple assets back and draft their replacement at a cheaper cost.

This is insane to me. I mostly stay quiet and let them carry on, but we were 3 points away from the Super Bowl! A couple plays, a couple calls. They say “we failed again!” I’m thinking that was a helluva fun season and I hope we can go a little bit farther next year. Talking about the draft before Thanksgiving got old.
Their logic is having Josh Allen should guarantee the Bills go to the Super Bowl.
Having Allen doesn’t guarantee anything. I don’t think people understand this. As I pointed out to someone comparing Allen and Marino. Marino went as a rookie but then spent almost all of his prime years missing the playoffs. Peyton Manning went 6-10 in his prime. Matthew Stafford barely sniffed the playoffs. John Elway 5-11 in his prime. Manning, Elway, and Stafford won with different coaches but it’s not guaranteed, we could get worse.
We’re not firing McDermott for losing to the Chiefs. They would fire him if he has a losing season or misses the playoffs. They might fire him for losing in the wildcard game. They might fire him if they get blown out in the playoffs again like vs the Bengals.
I understand 13 seconds happened and the defense has failed vs the Chiefs and Bengals. I actually think the conversation should be about hiring a successful defensive coordinator. McDermott is the head coach. He has built a good program here in Buffalo. He is the leader we need. I believe that. There’s nothing wrong with him going out and hiring a top defensive coordinator.

Lose to the same team in the same situation enough times and this will happen.
Shouldn’t happen. The most confusing part is when I would bring up Belichick I would get dislikes.
I don’t actually know if the fire McDermott people know what they want.

I still can’t believe this is real.
Lost by 3 in the AFC Championship game and there’s a fire the coach thread.

In his year end presser Beane talked about being disappointed in Kincaid's functional strength and in Coleman not recovering from injury well. I would bet that's why they made this move. If for no reason than to send a message to the players - "if you don't put in the work, it costs people their jobs."
New ideas. New energy. That was kind of the message with Joe Brady last year.

This here is why I don't see the Bills getting over the hump. The fans and front office are so anti diva that any time a high end player does this you want him gone
I don’t understand why fans get so emotional when it comes to contract disputes. I really don’t care about these things until training camp breaks.

Cook is eligible for a new contract/extension on March 12th when the new league year begins. However I do not believe that there is anything preventing negotiations before then since he is already a member of the Bills.
They should have a good idea of what the 2025 cap will be, but hard numbers aren’t out yet. They usually come out in late February. So next couple weeks, before the league year starts.
Having a good idea and knowing are very different things. If the cap is $5 million higher next year than projected don’t you think that might change a lot?
I actually doubt the Bills have begun negotiations with Cook.

Given his social media antics, one could guess him and the Bills aren't on the same page.
I do wish for him to get a good and fair deal, but I hate these stupid social media games (unfollowing the Bills, removing his profile pic, etc etc etc). All that kind of behavior does is drive a wedge in the future relationship.
Have they even had discussions yet? Beane doesn’t even know the cap yet. How could he possibly begin to negotiate.

McDermott brings:stability
culture
winning
defense… except when it matters 🙄
even though we can see his deficiencies, I know in my heart of hearts the guy wants it, and he wants it for the City of Buffalo and all Bills fans. He’s an undeniable homer and I love him for that.
McDermott lacks:
Can’t beat the Chiefs in the playoffs. We’re at the point where this will be on his headstone unless JA17 bails his ass out once and for all time.
For whatever reason, Beane can’t draft ‘em and McDermott can’t make ‘em great. I’ll put that on Beane, but we better not waste a talent like Garrett because McDermott simply can’t come off his prejudicial pre snap, pre game, pre season, pre draft, pre everything defensive system. He needs to be more fluid, and maybe that will allow for players to ball, and ballers to come here to ball out. Maybe <— I don’t like having to ask this question eight years on in a coach’s tenure. We’re not running a charity here, pal.
There is another narrative building. 13 seconds happened. But since then Josh Allen had a terrible game vs Cincinnati and had the ball last failing to take the lead vs KC twice. Thats 3 straight years.
So yeah, the defense isn’t good enough, but that’s not the only story.

So what’s the compensation?
Also, is Ty Johnson and Ray Davis good enough?

It’s like when we drafted Kincaid, I know for a fact from someone within the Chargers that Buffalo called to try and trade up with them. Chargers declined and had no interest in trading back as they were set in their guy. And it’s believed to have been to go get Addison.Just because one team wants to move up doesn’t mean the other team wants to move down. It’s like people around here have no concept of that when they play the “what if” or hindsight “should have” games.
I wonder if the Bills could’ve traded out of the 1st that year.
It also doesn’t help that we changed offenses. Kincaid was supposed to play that Beasley role in the Daboll/Dorsey offense.
That was a bad pick. I bet they wish they had that one back. -

Super Bowl Champion
Neither were drafted by Beane
Beane should probably do less interviews this offseason. Just saying.

From my understanding of these hires a lot of these new coaches aren't coaches McD has worked with before?
I think the closest thing is Ryan Nielsen was a player in Philadelphia when McDermott was a coach there.

This hire plus the cornerbacks coach from NE that the Bills added to the staff seem like good hires. Have there been any other significant hires?
All the defensive hires. There’s been 3 defensive hires and a special teams hire. All experienced coaches.

Jim Monos w/ critical comments on Bills front office, coaching, roster moves
in The Stadium Wall
Posted · Edited by Buffalo_Stampede
Really? Yeah Beane has always been a bean counter. One of the reasons I believe McDermott runs the show.
