billsfanmiami(oh) Posted August 6, 2017 Posted August 6, 2017 I would consider myself a pretty optimistic Bills fan, and I like what I've seen from McD. But to me this article was just the typical Chris Brown fluff/feel good piece. Like we're somehow doing something revolutionary by practicing situational football? Jesus was it that bad under Rex? (I think it probably was)
#34fan Posted August 6, 2017 Posted August 6, 2017 Belicheat's been doing that for the past 15 years!.... Somebody finally caught on!... Wanna impress me McDoomed? -Start the season 7-0... THEN win 5 out of your last nine... That'll get my attention.... Guaranteed.

THEN win 5 out of your last nine... That'll get my attention.... Guaranteed. That would get everyone's attention... I like everything he has done with the exception of his disdain for Sammy which stil confuses me. This is news to me. What's going on?

Ah, That comes from my sincere belief that success, in it's purest form, IS the art of putting a streak together... It's good to start-out by conquering a nice-size chunk of your goal...

Guaranteed. so you see doom with McD (referencing him as McDoomed) before he even coaches a game/season? seems like a pretty pathetic thought process. ftr, although unknown at this point, speculation by all, I believe he will have success but I don't have a dark cloud hanging over my head.
Chandler#81 Posted August 6, 2017 Posted August 6, 2017 For me, it's about game preparation and management. If this shows itself consistently through the season and we end up 7-9 et al, then we'll know for sure we need better players. The clusterfart that was Rex gave no real clue to the talent level on the team. 17-18 implies talent in the face of a circus, but not definitely.
CanadianFan Posted August 6, 2017 Posted August 6, 2017 But seriously, this is common stuff on most NFL teams. you hear this from basically every coach about how they practice situational football.

EmotionallyUnstable Posted August 6, 2017 Posted August 6, 2017 Why are we crowning McD already? Like many have said, it's nice to see a change from years past but can we wait until he coaches a full season, or at least a game, to decide if he has what it takes?

Some fans like what he's doing and his approach so far. Is that ok?
eball Posted August 6, 2017 Author Posted August 6, 2017 But seriously, this is common stuff on most NFL teams. you hear this from basically every coach about how they practice situational football. Judging by McD's comments you are incorrect. Yes, teams practice situations, but not in the way the Bills are doing it. It's a fresh approach, which is why I bothered to post the article in the first place.

4merper4mer Posted August 6, 2017 Posted August 6, 2017 This is news to me. What's going on? It is almost universally positive with McD IMO so i don't want to harp on the negative of not picking up Sammy's option. It was clearly an emotional decision which made zero sense financially even if he doesn't like Sammy. He cut off his nose to spite his face there. That said, I REALLY like everything else I see from him a lot. He does not seem like some false persona phony like Greggo or Greggo Marrone, nor does he seem incompetent like Rex.

Putting some pressure on Watkins isn't a bad thing in my opinion. Put up or shut up. Could come back to bite him in the ass, but only if Watkins has a monster year and they lose him.
#34fan Posted August 6, 2017 Posted August 6, 2017 so you see doom with McD (referencing him as McDoomed) before he even coaches a game/season? Poor McDoomed... Here's a guy that needs so many things to go right to have success, and just a couple of things to go sideways to fail utterly. makes no sense but whatever floats your boat...i guess I didn't expect you to get it.
