aceman_16 Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 I can't see McDermott ever misleading his players. It HAS to be the previous regime and his benching.
sullim4 Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 I think the Chargers benching was pretty clear - McDermott thought Peterman might be better than Taylor so he was willing to take the risk to see how Nate performed. It turned out to be a bad decision. I doubt McDermott lied about that since it was so obvious. The Anthony Lynn/Whaley thing though was bizarre, yes. 1
HappyDays Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 Whaley still thought Manuel had promise, somehow. He just had to get one last look at him. Even Rex wasn't that stupid so he quit rather than coach that game. It was the only admirable thing he did in his tenure here. But thank god they're both gone. 4 1
Hurricane Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 What's he going to say when he's benched for the same reasons with Cleveland? 1 3 2

Tyrod’s benching last year was Rico. McDermott actually apologized to the team about it. Edited September 8, 2018 by Kirby Jackson 1 1

It HAS to be the previous regime and his benching. I think McDermott would almost rather quit than do something like that..it goes against everything that I have ever seen about him. He got up in front of the room last year after the Peterman debacle and admitted he was wrong to the team. Dudnt try and defend it or spin it. That's a leader right there. People know there will be bad decisions that get made and they accept it. They just need to believe in the person making them and he definitely has that. I'm not sure what it is about him but everytime I see clips of him, the embedded videos etc I just think to myself he has "it" from a leadership perspective. Its hard to describe what it is but I just know that he has it. This might go down as one of the great hires in Bills history. Edited September 8, 2018 by matter2003 1

SoCal Deek Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 We weren’t told the truth either! We were told that TyROD would actually throw the ball every once in awhile. ? 4

The_Dude Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 I can’t wait to see him get benched for Mayfield. Actively rooting against him. 2 2
Thurman#1 Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 (edited) Yeah, I've never heard two guys have two separate views of the same incident. Must've been lies. I like Tyrod as a person, but this is sad. It's small. Move forward, dude. Edited September 8, 2018 by Thurman#1 3

I never heard it confirmed it was Rico. Interesting. Tyrod will end up with another winning season With his conservative play and a few huge plays per game. Some biils fans will continue to spew hate, some may come to belive or already do that he is better than what we have starting now... and Cleveland fans clamoring for mayfield now, will get it at some point and be super disappointed..

GoBills808 Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 I'm pretty sure everyone and their mother knew they were going to renegotiate him in 2017 and didn't want to be on the hook for $30.75M if he was to get hurt in a meaningless week 17 game. It was a simple business decision. 10
