Utah John Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Once upon a time, in ancient history when Jim Schwartz was DC of the Bills, they could roll out two separate high-quality four-man D lines. They had 8 starter-quality DEs and DTs. This year, when Dareus was hurt, they were scraping the bottom of the barrel to find THREE starters on the D line. Thanks Wrecks and Doug for building a bully on the D line. Well, at least we have a lot of good LBs. Wait, the good ones are FAs. Hmm. I'm willing to get on board the McDermott train but if Taylor is not retained and a talented and/or experienced OC (either Lynn or Turner) is not hired then he's going to fail. That's just reality. Agree on retaining TT. He's by far the best option available. That's not saying much, I realize, but it's true. No way Lynn comes back as OC, unfortunately. He's after a HC job, and returning now to the Bills would feel like admitting failure. I think he did a very good job considering the injuries at WR, and I'd be happy if he did come back.
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) I hope "culture change" and "accountable" do not mean BS things like air horns. One thing I feel the Bills need are standards, expectations. To be a Bill means you're expected to do this this and this, on and off the field all year long. With Marrone Hughes would do one dumb thing and would be pulled. Rex lets Mario dance on the field all year and does nothing. Marrone had this corny thing about 'what it means to be a Bill.' A lot of successful sports organizations have that same focus on creating a standard of expectation- it was not a focus under Rex. Maybe, just maybe I have no idea, McDermott can bring quiet accountability with a realness and relatability that Marrone may have lacked. Edited January 11, 2017 by 2018 Our Year For Sure
IslandBillsFan Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 It may be buried in the 30 pages of this thread, but I would like to know his stats as a DC. Specifically, PPG every year and rank. And YPG every year and rank.

Manther Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Need to pick up a CAR FA or make a trade so we can have a captain for that gameLaughing hard still....
NoSaint Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Zach brown on board @zachbrown_55 McDermott and the LB coach I hope so 😈#BillsMafia Would be a nice fit for him and I don't think he will break the bank
Manther Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Nice HC selection by the Bills! Way to go Whaley! Let's Go Buffalo!!!!! Agreed
26CornerBlitz Posted January 12, 2017 Author Posted January 12, 2017 @68INCOGNITO Excited to start this new chapter with @buffalobills Looking forward to working with Coach McDermott!!
Peter Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 If this does not work out, will Whaley and his people point to the positioning of the Pegulas and Whaley relative to McDermott to attempt to argue that McDermott was not really his hire but the Pegulas forced Sean on Whaley. Someone should ask Doug if he and Sean finish each other's sentences. Just having some fun. Go Bills!

Manther Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 It's like taking a test - if you don't know the answer, pick C! That's so 90's

fridge Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 @MarcSesslerNFL #Bills fans: Here's the skinny on likely new head coach coach Sean McDermott, via @NFLResearch So he fielded a worse defense than Rex did last year... That's wonderful.
RevWarRifleman Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Well, I hope for the best. But with this happening so much after 17 years, I have to quote that old Who song: "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss........." Hopefully, We Won't Get Fooled Again!
