Love it. There are so many excuses being made for McDermott, it's scary. We are in a lot of trouble if this guy sticks around as the head coach. 

Yea we are. I think things are going to get ugly on Monday night, I hope the fans riot.

I had my qualms about McDermott last year as well, most notably with how incredibly conservative he is and the lack of imagination from our offense. I even said that although I enjoyed the moment...I thought last year's team was mediocre at best and that making the playoffs was a little flukey.

 

And guess what...the Bills agreed! That's why they stayed on the path of rebuilding, which I'm fine with and still agree with. I don't see the point of mediocrity. But it is possible to fail at rebuilding. I said from the beginning that I didn't even care about the record this year, and I still don't. I just wanted to see organizational progress. To see us going in the right direction. For example, I don't know if you follow basketball or not, but even though the Knicks are 1-3 I love what they're doing so far. They're competitive, they fight back, and you can tell the coaching even from just 1 offseason had a real plan with this group and it's paying off.

 

These games, even in a rebuild year, are precious for developmental reasons. We're throwing them away because of what Beane and McDermott have done, especially with the QB position. These guys thought, even after what Peterman did last year...that this guy was an answer as a starter! So much so that they let a possible competent backup go with no other safety net. And while knowing that they really didn't want to start Allen yet. And even after that, they had full faith in him as a primary backup, so they didn't bring anyone else in for weeks. And now they're so petrified of him that they brought in Derek Anderson off the street and started him, clearly before he had enough preparation time. And he's still here! There's still nobody else! 

 

The Bills philosophy on last year's team should be the exact same philosophy they apply to evaluating this coaching staff. They are not championship caliber, not even close. There's no point in being mediocre at best.

I think this is a very real possibility.

Great article. But wow! These guys running the Bills now are a complete disaster. I don't know how the Pegula's will turn this thing around.

Very well said sir. The level of ineptitude is frightening. And I've seen some ineptitude in my days.

I would be shocked if the stadium is half full...

 

Oh wait, people just go for the party, it'll be packed until the 2nd quarter.

Let’s see if we can figure it out: A year ago, Bills head coach Sean McDermott had a perfectly mediocre football team and a perfectly serviceable quarterback in Tyrod Taylor. He then alienated Taylor by benching him for Nathan Peterman mid-season in what amounted to a fit of pique. That move failed spectacularly and Taylor still managed to lead the Bills into the playoffs, but the team decided to rid itself of Taylor last offseason and stick with Peterman.

 

Holy crap is that hilarious. Somehow, despite all his failures, the national consensus is still that Taylor was some sort of franchise QB we tossed away.

Look at the Sabres. Why would people expect much different? They bought a team that was a playoff regular, in a league that is easy to make the playoffs, and the team has gone on to miss them for nearly a decade. That is absurd.

No. He was a QB that did not throw multiple picks per game and could at least run the offense and not let games get out of hand. He limited turnovers and could use his legs to mask issues with the OL and lack of other weapons. He kept you in games if the Defense played well. If the Defense struggled it was going to be a long day. Not a franchise QB but a decent placeholder until you find one.

Actually no one said he is a franchise. You guys who hate him make this crap up. He was an avg qb which would have been a huge security for this team. But continue your BS

Oh, hell no.  A loose and non winning culture was reported by players in that locker room over the last decades.  Rex then dialed it to 11.  Fumigation is now half complete.  Time to get serious here people.  Gosh.  Idiots!  ?

? You got very defensive just then. I didn't realize 32nd ranked passing offenses were average.
