No GM is going to throw anyone under the bus at a press conference. I think inside the walls they know they have a ton of stuff to shore up. McDermott suggested that in his presser. people here are pissed he’s not screaming and stomping his feet in a press conference. Nor is he going to go into details on plans for improvement. Last year he said there probably would t be big fa signings. Then they signed Von.

Not saying they shouldn't touch him. And I think getting after the QB is pretty much key to any game plan with an above-average QB. That's much different than trying to concuss the guy, or purposefully injure him. "Don't play dirty, don't play dumb." - Marv Levy

not only is purposefully injuring someone morally wrong, it is disgusting seeing what happened to DH. Bills are classier than that, even if you aren’t.

Who should be cut to make room?

I must admit, I’m disgusted by people who can’t see what a quality coach and human being McDremott is. The guy is an incredible leader. Those who think otherwise have likely never had to lead other people. I’m comfortable calling critics of him cowards. Leading is difficult, and you’re never perfect. But he’s close to perfect, and I’d love an hour to talk with him about his values and methods of a leader.

No, a dissection can be via injury. Even innocuous ones.

My wife had a VAD. They are variable. If it was a complete tear of one of the arteries, the other would have still fed the cerebellum. Hers was a partial tear and clot, and she likely ran a triathlon that way. She collapsed after, but got up. Had a stroke in the hospital. this seems different than that, but what do I know. Scary, terrible, and I shouldn’t be speculating.

not accurate. My wife had a vertebral artery dissection. Not a spinal cord injury, but I could see this being that.

Our qb? Not yours?

No. Just stop. No.

Youtube TV has it on in Rochester. I actually forgot that people still have cable.

I sure do hate to see someone lose their livelihood. And I feel bad that I was a part of it by sending a letter to the Niagara gazette expressing my concern. I would much rather have him go to sensitivity training or a course on women’s studies so he could improve himself. Not the ideal outcome imho. On the other hand, he’s been a jacka$$ for years. I thought he’d turned a corner, but he’s always asked questions just to try to get a reaction from players & coaches, not for any journalistic merit. I’ve done my best to ignore him, but in such a small market it is hard to actively avoid his schtick. I won’t miss it. hopefully he takes the time to do some genuine introspection and comes back a better man.

Um, your comments in this thread demonstrate the opposite.

So many people don't understand what the first amendment is. You can usually tell an idiot by when/how they bring up the first amendment. First amendment guarantees you can say (mostly) whatever you want. It doesn't guarantee that you are immune from the consequences resulting from what you said. Nor does it guarantee you the right to a public platform. Jerry can spout his idiot chauvinism on a street corner somewhere. Nothing is stopping him. However, if you say something stupid like Jerry did that exposes your stupidity, you are responsible for the reaction.

I think his COVID posturing was unnecessary and would have best been handled within the team. There’s no reason to attack me here. Plus, it takes a hell of a lot more than Beasley or you to hurt my feelings.

He’s a clown, but was always a good bill and a great player when healthy. If he hasn’t lost too much, I’d love him back. a clown, but OUR clown.

For you as long as those facts support your anti-McDermott crusade, I guess so. Otherwise, seems like no.

I think it is important to realize that maybe Beane is building a team not for the games being played now, but playoffs this year and next year.

So I guess following that logic, the awesome games passing in 2020, 2021, and this year we’re to McDermott’s credit. Furthermore, if his first years were that horrible, the trajectory he’s on is one of the best in the nfl. Great coaching. Irrefutable.

So you are saying it is McDermott’s fault?

It’s hard to figure who you are blaming here. McDermott for not coaching a 300 yard game, Beane for not providing the talent to do it, the QB for not being good enough to do it, or the WRs not being good enough to catch with enough yards?

The defense failed with Hughes, and was clearly better with Miller. Hughes should not be part of the conversation. Different level of player, and there should be no disagreement about that. To insinuate that we should have kept Hughes instead of signing Miller is …. Not bright.

Oh please. As if that should even be part of the conversation.

My prediction? New England. Bellyache liked him coming out of college. He'll be cheap (relatively) and it makes sense given Mac is not good.

I think we need to remember that many players have called the offense complex. It probably impacts RBs quite a bit when it comes to protection, routes and blocking schemes that likely change in the fly. Let’s not rush to judgement.
