The process clock is ticking down Sean. Expand As I think about it, we saw reports they were in on Sanu and Sanders - the real message here is they weren’t going to beat a second for Sanu or what Denver got for Sanders.

starrymessenger Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 To me this is a weak and unnecessary comment from McD. I agree with those who speculate he was probably still smarting from seeing his vaunted D get pretty much blown off the ball two games in a row.

Expand Go back and look at the threads where "success" was defined by most everyone as fighting for a playoff spot. However, I was particularly talking about the so called experts. As far as the "still building" comment: Stop being so obtuse. As if there is no difference in the stage of building between teams. Edited October 30, 2019 by billsfan1959

blacklabel Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 I really don't see anything wrong with him saying what he said. I think when he talks about being irresponsible he's basically saying, yeah we did talk to some teams but the asking price would've really impacted future drafts and it would be irresponsible to give up what was being asked. 1 1

If team A and team B offer a 2nd rounder, that’s matching it. It’s safe to surmise that if NE and BUF each offered a 2nd that Sanu is in a Bills uniform now. SF would take the Bills pick based on probability but it’s not a sure thing. A 2nd rounder is a second rounder unless the Pats* own CIN’s 2nd round pick or something.
Happy Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 McD is correct in his statement. He shouldn't ignore the fact that he has personnel and scheme issue that need to be solved.

Quit being ridiculous. Expand Why isn't it an apt comparison? Jauron is a famously mediocre head coach, who once presided over a 13-3 team. What has McDermott done so far to prove that he can be an upper echelon coach? The team is 5-2, with squeaky wins over bottom feeders and looked inept against a roiling Eagles squad. They have yet to put together a complete game on both sides of the line. That smacks of being average.
