Peterson seems to be a name that’s been mentioned for years now. I don’t see that happening. Riley is interesting. I’m sure his name will be linked to the Browns quite a bit. Ultimately, I don’t expect McD to get fired anytime soon though.

He basically is a Jauron replica and the same people who liked DJ are the same people who are defending him now, and for the same reasons. Jauron's teams were the kings of the moral victory. I remember in those first 2 years how much praise he got from certain people about how the team "stays in" games. It's the same ultra-conservative offense with a bend but don't break defense that allows the team to stay within striking distance...but it's not going to get you a lot of wins. The problem is, these types of coaches are content with that. This is a good point. What little patronizing praise the media gave at halftime was like petting the dog on the head - "look at little Buffalo, they're doing so good to stay with Almighty Brady" Now let's show a clip of Bush (not relevant in 2018) in Canada.....
Bangarang Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 2 minutes ago, jrober38 said: Totally agree. How much improvement can we reasonably expect in one offseason? We're currently scoring under 11 PPG. Does anyone really expect that number to move into the 20s, and essentially double in one year? Probably not. The Bills need to replace 8, maybe 9 players on offense. No chance that's happening in one year. I think the people expecting our problems to get fixed by a mediocre FA class are going to be disappointed. The only way this offense becomes successful next year is of Allen takes a major step forward and I’m not expecting that either. I think this regime tore it down and hitched their wagon to the wrong QB. They put him in the worst scenario possible to try and develop. This offense looks like it’s years away from even being average.

The problem is, these types of coaches are content with that. Mcd literally played Jauron ball to a tee last night. Here are a few examples: -Play bend but don't break defence - Kept the game close - Punted on 4th and short at midfield down in the 4th quarter -Ran the ball on 3rd and 8 on that last possession of half time He was trying to keep the game close and hope the Bills got a few breaks that bounced their right way. It is sickening to watch. No one expected the Bills to win. But for gods sake at least take a couple swings at it.
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 Fire the OC. It’s not going to work. Bad teams with bad QBs still score sometimes. We never do and Anderson hasn’t even played bad. The offense is the problem. Get Daboll out and get McCoy or Haley in

He inherited a decent team from Rex Ryan, and managed to go 9-7 last year. Now we're well on our way to a top 5 pick. No offense, but the team is rapidly moving in the wrong direction... They put a bunch of band-aids on the offense. They've got $80million in cap money next year. This is the NFL, you can't mask lack of talent with any scheme.

That you can Coach up scrubs and win. How is he any different offensively than Rex Ryan? Our fans hate Rex, how is McDermott any different? Look at the OC's he's wanted or hired - McCoy, Dennison and now Daboll. CONSERVATIVE. There is plenty of value in an explosive running game, but we're not seeing it with Shady and Ivory. You want to pound the rock, fine. Get an offensive line that can dominate the LOS and some explosive RBs. Edited October 30, 2018 by TheElectricCompany

A year from now I think McDermott is close to getting fired. I think they'll spend money on the offense, and we'll still be puttering along with Allen at QB in an offense that doesn't score points. McDermott doesn't know offense. That's painfully obvious at this point. You can't have a HC in today's NFL who is completely inept on that side of the football when scoring points is so important.

This is the NFL, you can't mask lack of talent with any scheme. So what? Next year's free agency class is horrendous. There's nothing available at WR and next to nothing on the OL. This team will get better if they start drafting quality offensive players. They can't rely on free agency to fix their problems.

MAJBobby Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 Just fire him at the end of the season and do not waste 2019 as well.

The guy took an offense that Tim Tebow was the qb of and reconfigured it for him to be semi successful. That is very impressive IMO. A guy that will take the players he has and make the most out of it is a trait that I personally value in a coordinator

We need to stop acting like free agency and the draft are a grocery store, where there's always stock of every item you need. The talent pool is scarce, and there are plenty of hungry teams.

John from Riverside Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 37 minutes ago, Straight Hucklebuck said: I listened to the post-game show last night, and Sean McDermott is out of answers folks. When his team gets kicked in the teeth, he pulls out his Dick Jauron cue cards repeats the most bland answers and cliches. First question out of the gate: "your offense has 2 Touchdowns in the last 5 games, explain it" and McDermott leads with "the defense came out and played well at times"... "go back and find answers". On McCoy's ineffectiveness as a runner - "making sure we are giving LeSean opportunities, and I have to go back and look at the tape" - HEY SEAN, MAYBE STOP ALLOWING SWEEPS AND PITCHES TO THE EDGES "Learn from our mistakes" "We are developing a football team" "Learn from the tape" From your time in the NFL could you recall any offense you've been a part of that has struggled like this? .... "establish the line of scrimmage early, thought we did some of that early, they made adjustments, and we weren't able to sustain it really the rest of the game" Derek Anderson evaluation: "thought he made some good throws, and he had some throws he'd like back" What is holding Derek Anderson's back: "being able to establish the run game ... stay in 3rd and manageable" Why is first down such a problem? "Can't get it going" And so I ask Bills fans, do McDermott's answers bother you? Because they aggravate me. You have Bills fans sitting out there all night to watch a 47 yard and 51 yard FG and they get: we have to study tape harder. They get we are building a culture as we "move this thing forward". I think McDermott really thinks that you can line up in 2018 with an extra Tight End and Fullback, and run over teams across a 16-game schedule. That you can line McCoy up and just use the run game to control the line of scrimmage and that still works in the NFL. That you can watch tape, correct mistakes, and learn to be good offensively. That stay in 3rd and manageable is an accomplishment. Halfway through the season, 11-13 as a Coach and I think McDermott is out of answers. If he was gifted Alvin Kamara today he wouldn't know how to use him. He'd slam him into the line 8 times and talk about physicality. What exactly do you expect him to say? "We didnt expect to win this year but hey.....keep buying those tickets?" 1

A year or two from now we’ll be talking about how the next regime needs 5 years to undo the mess that McD and BB left us with. Wash rinse and repeat. People want to give McD the key to the city for taking an 8-8 roster and going 9-7 his first year and yet the roster he’s building is far worse than the one he inherited. If it wasn’t for Andy Dalton people might not want to be so patient.
zow2 Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 McD is never going to criticize any of his players or coaching staff. Ever. That's just how he is. But in private I'm sure he is beyond frustrated and annoyed at what is going on. 1
