McD’s words

The real question here is "Why did the Jags want it more ??" and "Why were they more ready to play ???"

 

Isn't it McD's job to make sure the Bills want it more and have the Bills more ready to play ???

It should be, of course. I don’t think he does it the major of the times.

It’s gonna happen. I feel like each new dramatic thread one of these unknowns tries to top the previous. 
Somewhere I picture Simon and hapless and chandler smiling like Oprah reading some of these hot takes  “you get a ban, and you get a ban, and a ban for you” 

 

But look at the LIFE this losing has brought back to the board!

 

Frankly, TBD had been getting pretty boring and full of COVID threads because it was the only thing to talk about.

 

Now we are back to having real football related discussions about which coach to fire, which players to cut, which players to sign/draft, what this team needs to win, offensive schemes and gameplans.

 

Losing is good for the board, lol

The problem is that the division wasn't the goal. Their stated goal was the #1 seed, and now it's all but gone.

Correct. On every part.

Ok, let me tell you something: i can’t believe he’s talking about take care of football, about “They wanted it more”, about “They were ready to play” etc etc etc … the only thing that really matter is HOW IS POSSIBLE THAT WE SHOWED UP WITHOUT ANY FIRE AND WILL TO DESTROY A 1-6 TEAM, REGARDLESS A UGLY OL. 

You know… beside the Bills unfortunately i love the Knicks also… so i’m used to this type of performance, no hearth and no respect for the best fans in the world at all !

 

5-3 … com’on… i’m sure that the same Bills with Mike Tomlin at the head would be 7-1 just because his grit. 

I posted this in the song thread, but it seems appropriate here as well …. Maybe I’ll post it in all the Jacksonville threads 🤪

Don't need to hear a McD diatribe to see there's problems.

Ok guys.. don’t touch Mcd ! What i think is that everybody has the right to express his thoughts, this is a board, right ? 

[Mat68]

Daboll has had freedom to do whatever on offense.  Last year Mcdermott took over play calling for a game.  Im curious how involved Mcdermott will be on offense this week.  I felt like after week 1 Mcdermott forced some change on offense.

See if Wrecks will lend us the 'Billsmobile'.  Did he have to give that back? 🤔

I think he left it running behind the Tim Horton’s he said he always stopped at on his way in to the office? (At said office he would wake up Brother Rob, who invariably fell asleep on the couch from the exhaustion of brainstorming ways to help explain Rex’s defense to Mario)

I’ve seen McD make something out of a nothing roster in 2018, where the Bills had no business winning anything and still coming away with 6 W’s, and consistently bouncing back from subpar outings where he clearly was able to coach up the team, etc. Like it or not, he’s earned the benefit of the doubt from us, broke the drought, and overall has done a fantastic job with our Bills—should we have won? Of course. Can we bounce back? Of course. Do we still control our divisional fate? Of course. So let’s see if this coaching staff can continue to earn their checks this week and make necessary changes…cool?

He's earned disdain for this successful team showing up undisciplined and lacking energy and a refuse to lose mentality. A bunch of turnstiles for O-lineman and poor playcalling, doesn't deserve a pass. This fan base deserves better.

That’s my point: in a game like that you can’t just stay there clapping instead eat the player’s heads for their poor performance. 

 

Even McD's clapping game has been lackluster this year, i need to see some real vigorous aggressive clapping again soon or it's definately time to throw the towel on the season..

Exactly.

 

On the one hand, there's only so much motivating of a bunch of highly-paid professional athletes a coach can do.  I think it's kind of like parenting a stubborn teenager in a way.

 

McDermott can say "everything is earned, nothing is given".  He can tell them "if you go in there expecting to win in the NFL, you're gonna get your ass whipped".

 

But eventually, they're going to be like "yeah, yeah" and need to actually suffer going in there expecting to win and getting their ass whipped in order to take him seriously.

 

The coaches do need to look at whether some of their actions in how they prepare and their attention to detail that week are "tells" to the players that the coaches aren't too worried about the game and they can slack off.  IMO.

I agree with you here.. and Josh said the same thing to in his post interview..

 

So unless they dont mean what they say, why are they being out motivated by a team that is already all but out of the running with only pride to play for?

 

Over the past few weeks, they have been smacked in the mouth by the Titans and then one half by Miami and they still dont turn up and respect an opponent and expect to just go through the motions and coast to a W..  Bad signs here...

No, you're not sure. What you have there is a guess or an opinion, and one without any degree of substantiation or reasonable evidence.

 

And by the way, the Steelers played flat and badly most of the first month of the season. Tomlin's damn good, but not perfect. Same with McDermott.

I agree. It’s ok have the back of your staff and players.. but sometimes you have to make very clear what you don’t want to see anymore. 

 

 

 

And your evidence that he hasn't done that is non-existent. Entirely imaginary, as a matter of fact.

Not Sean's fault Beane has not upgraded the roster since losing to Chiefs,  RB position is the worse in the NFL and Beane brings back the same two slow failures from last season.  One of those two should have been cut and replaced

 

Sorry i have watched i lot of football and i have seen good RB's get yards behind average to below average line,  neither player scares anyone and they are just dropping LB'S in coverage knowing those two dudes are not getting past the line 

 

 

I'm sure you have seen good RBs get yards behind average to below average lines.

 

That's what you're seeing in Buffalo right now. Singletary's averaging 4.9 YPC, and while Moss is lower, he's still making yards. Yes, they're not breakaway threats. But both are solid guys.

 

And Beane certainly did upgrade the roster since losing to the Chiefs. Rousseau, Emanuel Sanders and Brown, for three, say hello. He didn't upgrade them in every area, which in our cap situation was just simply the way it had to be.
