make other, more interesting, plans for Sunday, like perhaps curling your hair or watching paint dry

since our D is on the field like 80% of any given game, so yeah, it makes complete sense to give it help since the offense barely even sees the field, why invest in it. Hello I am a big dumb idiot and I like to clap when my team gets penalties against them

it would be my first question in interviewing perspective coaches, "What week of the NFL season do you think it generally starts to snow in Buffalo?" and if they answer anything lower than 15, push the eject button under the desk. the second question would be "do you believe it's possible to throw a regulation football when it is below 32 degrees?"

yup, leadership hires people who have never actually been to Buffalo and can only muster images of the blizzard of 77, so they come in with an unshakable notion that the only way to win in Buffalo is with a Neanderthal offense centered around 1 yard and a cloud of dust

Nobody on the team is going to work harder than Wallace. This is a good move.

i said it in another thread but the sort of offensive innovation that I'd expect from McDermott is a multiple punter formation, that comes in on 3rd down

also, more controversy around why the Bills didn't sign Colin Kaepernick. The Bills front office is sure to handle this with grace and aplomb, leaving all feeling satisfied that the decision was reached in an organic fashion

more punting on 4th and inches at the other team's 40 yard line. no, scratch that, I want them to punt on 3rd down. maybe when bojorkez or whatever comes back they can employ multiple punter formations, it's the exact sort of offensive innovation that i'd expect by McMoron i also want to see more vigorous clapping after every penalty and negative play. I'm yearning for it in fact more street free agents. i mean they could do worse, like they are currently. don't tell me there aren't hundreds if not thousands of al bundys and uncle ricos in WNY that would give anything to have one more shot. maybe get that rudy guy from notre dame, that would be a great story

The turd is not a metaphor

Yeah, I mean, the Bills are the Graveyard of Quarterbacks. We could have the lovechild of Joe Montana and Tom Brady at QB and Coach Clappy McIdiot would get extra clever and put a bunch of high school players around him just to show the league how much smarter he is than everyone else. I know nobody wants to hear this but watch the draft next year, I will virtually guarantee that with our top pick we go either DL or a high motor project LB, or a CB. I just dont think this regime has the mindset to 'waste' high draft picks on O. also, in FA, we'll absolutely find another 3 or 4 trent murphys to keep the trainers busy to make sure we soak up the spare cap money, without actually making the team better

agreed! also, i am just generally sick and tired of the Bills having a terrible O. When is the last time the Bills O struck fear into anyone? What, Bledsoe's first 5 games? Kids born that year are getting their drivers licenses this year. Why can't the Bills field a competent O?

agreed on all counts. The pessimist in me looks at the remaining schedule and only sees more bad news. Next week will be a get-well game for the Jets, and on down the line. Sure, the Bills could show up to play on any given sunday, maybe forget all the culture/process nonsense that our big dumb idiot coach is forcing down their throats, get some lucky bounces and/or mercy from the refs and squeeze out a win, but the much more likely scenario is the one where the bills continue to spiral downward, perhaps to break all time futility records? it certainly seems within reach, and dovetails nicely with what we've seen of the process so far!

https://www.footballdb.com/stats/penalties.html yeah, another site that I just closed the tab for showed trending too, which the Bills, if they keep up the last 3 games performance, will be league leading in penalties in another game or two. The net is, they're undisciplined, and getting more undisciplined as the season goes on, which again, is indicative of coaching, and/or a team that has given up. Let me blow your mind here for a moment, what if the process, is in fact fundamentally flawed, and if followed close to plan, actually makes the Bills worse?

we're 3rd worst in the league for penalties, so i'm not sure the math works on that, but yeah, it's not as bad as under rex, in the same analogized fashion that technically hitler killed fewer people than stalin

I always enjoy reading your post mortem game analysis, but have to quibble with you here. This team has been sloppy as hell all season. The drive killing penalties are more reliable than completed forward passes at this point, all of which is 100% on coaching. Obviously The Clapping Idiot has not made discipline a priority, and I think now it's safe to assume that discipline isn't part of the "culture" he's trying to build at one bills drive, otherwise we'd see players getting benched for their junior league antics, but instead we get a big dumb idiot clapping on the sidelines when instead of a 1st down, we get 3rd and 20

Just the mere fact is probably enough to defeat the bills

maybe if they were playing the Natick High School JV team there. only maybe though

yeah also those of us who have $5000 burning a hole in our pockets

Did McHalfwit clap vigorously when Teller came off the field? That's usually a sign

Thank you for weighing in, Sean McDermott's mom

let's cut to the chase here folks. we all know that McDumbass is going to demand we resign KB for 5 years, $100m. anything other than that would be an admission that it was a bad move to start with, and clappy McShortbus cannot fail, he can only be failed

Yup, "process" is a way to deflect criticism of him, and the fact that the team is completely unprepared week after week, and completely lacking in discipline. Someone will have to show me where being the 3rd most penalized team in the NFL is indicative of a winning 'culture' or shows that there's a process in place to get better. If the Bills were coming out each week and playing disciplined football but losing games because they're outmanned in every conceivable way, it would be one thing. The reality is that with this coach we could have the most talented team in the league but would consistently shoot themselves in the foot because they lack discipline, and that's 100% coaching.

That's not what Wayne is saying at all. There doesn't have to be a conspiracy going on in the background in order for the Pegulas to have made bad hires. I mean, the evidence is pretty strong to suggest that they aren't good at this, and have been taken in by grifters again and again. Even given the cap situation, which was clearly mismanaged by granting ridiculous contracts to players who have not earned them, the current regime continues to make terrible decisions that have nothing to do with the cap.

Yeah that's really the crux of the issue. Our JV level clapping moron of a coach thinks that he has a system that is so strong, so airtight, that he can plug any player into it and succeed. Obviously, reality says otherwise, but I don't believe McD has the type of personality, or frankly the football acumen, to recognize how wrong he is. He's married to his own bad ideas and for some reason has been given a really long leash to continue to prove that he does not belong in the NFL. There is certainly a spectrum of talent <---> culture in a winning strategy, and I think that the 2018 Buffalo Bills have successfully defined one end of that spectrum, and we can declare with an extremely high confidence level that this is not a winning formula. One interesting aspect of this is that besides the fact that the bills are deeply lacking in talent on O, that it's also a high probability that the culture that McD is enforcing is also bad. If there was even a tiny amount of truth to 'culture trumps talent' then the Bills wouldn't be getting blown out over and over again. All i see on the field as a team that by all appearances has given up on the season and probably the coach. If that is Clappy McDumbass's culture/process, then it's clear that he just isn't fit to be a coach on the NFL, or probably even college above the D3 level. It's just a damn shame that this D is going to get wasted.

Yeah, i feel the same way even though I'd prefer he never sees the field again in a bills uniform. He's really a perfect case study as to why performance in training camp is a poor indicator for success in the regular season. Clappy McIdiot doesn't seem to grasp the concept. I just got back from a long weekend in Alabama with family, and the consensus is that McCarron was let go because he's a leader and the clapping halfwit cant have any strong leadership from players. McC played that way in Alabama, and would yell back at Saban when he got on his case. The Process can't bear any thought outside approved goodthink by Coach Bonehead
