oldmanfan Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 He gets several more seasons. No one with any objectivity can deny the job he and Beane have done with this team. They have made the Bills into a contender, and there's no reason to think that will change. But if we don't get to a SB in the next couple years, and if we don't because the D lets us down again, then I could see a Dungy/Gruden type thing as happened with the Bucs years ago. You might need a change with the same group of players to give a different mindset that puts them over the hump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsflyer12 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) I’m guessing God just wanted the Chiefs to win, right McD? Last week all praise to God for win led your post game press conference. Big win, all praise to God for it. Big lose, we all need to be better. Tired of his act. I just for once want him to take personal accountability for his specific decisions not being good enough for the team. No we all have to be better crap, and “execution.” Josh on several occasions has said his personal level of play wasn’t good enough and that he cost the team the game. I want the same level of accountability from the Head Coach. Even more importantly I want him to learn from them and be BETTER. You know the basis for all the growth mindset things you have preached for years. The best accountability is a changed behavior, he has yet to change those.

quinnearlysghost88 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Last week: McDermott outcoached the great belichick! We are the Beasts of the East. this week: Mcdermott needs to go along with the whole front office. The overreactions are embarrassing. He built the entire team culture. Every year 31 teams don’t have a successful season. We just happened to play the best team in the league in the division round. Calm down.

I agree, but circumstances are slightly different. Allen is the most dynamic player in the league. McDermott has his best chance at winning a SB in Allen’s prime. That window is open right now. Reid and Belichick took over a decade to get their elite QB, McD has his right now. This isn’t an irrational fire McD post. I just believe he needs a SB win in the next decade if it’s ever going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another team will represent the AFC during that time. It’s up to McD to take advantage of that. Mahomes will be difficult to overcome, but that doesn’t discount this being McD’s best chance to win. We’re certainly not better off when Mahomes retires, as Allen’s prime might slip away. We might become Manning’s Colts to Brady’s Pats, but anything less than a title with Allen would be disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We weren’t able to go out and get a hall of fame coach. Luckily, we got McDermott. He’s gone through a learning process just like players do. Now we fire him?? It can’t be argued that it took Allen some time to get to this point. Last season and this, he’s been pretty phenomenal (most of the time, but not all). So now we’re going to cry because in TWO seasons we’ve been good, we haven’t been to the SB and won??? It ain’t easy getting to a SB let alone winning one - there’s a laundry list of phenomenal QB’s who have 1 ring or none after playing years in the league. I agree with you though - anything less than a SB will be disappointing for Allen and the Bills. Edited January 25, 2022 by Bockeye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T master Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) WOW ! How soon we forget ! In 5 short years & 4 play off appearances 2 AFC championships with one of the winningest active coaches in the NFL we are asking how many more chances does he get ?? Well after 17+ years of futility and no play off appearances in that time given the turn around & now the talk of the very real possibility of a new stadium because of said turn around I'd like to think the Peg's have enough fore sight given their other teams production to let McD & company write their own ticket as to how long they stay . I remember just a few short months back the post here by the "Bills fan" that said something about it's time to move on from McD talk about a knee jerk reaction holy cow !! The guy has only been a HC for 5 years now & i'm thinking no matter how much prior coordinator experience you get when your the HC & new to that you will have a certain amount of on the job learning to do before you become a Shula, or Marv . So i'm thinking although this lose hurt a lot i with all that i have seen to this point believe that McD & company will learn from the mistakes made in this game & will bring in & reenforce those positions of weakness to become better each & every year he will be here long enough to 1 day give the city of Buffalo & the Bills their first SB trophy . I just hope the good lord willing i'm around long enough to see it come true !! GO BILLS !!! Edited January 25, 2022 by T master Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 HAHAHAHA This thread is ridiculous. Anyone who thinks that McD is in any danger of losing his job is delusional. McD, rightfully so is on super safe ground. Him being fired hasn't even crossed the mind of the Pegula's. They most likely love him to death and feel extremely fortunate to have him as our head coach as the players do as well. Yes, did they %$@* up the last 13 seconds and everyone knows it. They will never forget those fateful 13 seconds and undoubtedly will be a stain on his career and memories of many people, but he is a damn good coach and he has led the turnaround of this franchise WHICH WILL WIN A SUPERBOWL at some point and most of us are thankful that he is the head coach of the Bills.

thenorthremembers Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I think the Anti-McDermott guys better buckle up and get ready for at least another 5-10 years of guy, even if the Bills dont win a Championship. Unless he suddenly turns into Marvin Lewis and cant make or win a playoff game he will have a job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can there be something in between "fire him" and "you stupid morons he's never going anywhere and you're lucky to be allowed to speak his name"? Specifically: is it ok to expect that McD has to account for his performance with the season on the line, and put in processes or make changes to prevent something like that from happening again? No, we're not as fans entitled to know what those things are, but it would be nice to know it's being addressed. The fact that his stomach is turning over about the end of the game is a good start, sure, but blaming "execution" while saying "the buck stops with me" while refusing to explain what the hell he means by any of that is more than a little frustrating... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows they screwed up and I'm sure he feels worse about it than anyone else. He is a man of integrity and high character and I wouldn't be surprised the "execute" part has more meaning to than we know. In any case, it was a colossal screw up and messed up a team that was good enough to be the Super Bowl winners. The Bills are good enough to win the way we are. With that said, 13 seconds does not and will not define a man who was at the forefront of turning this organization around. He cut out cancers on this team and many fans were outraged that he got rid of them. They ended up being the right decisions, he ended up creating a culture of accountability and brotherhood, he turned this franchise from a 18 year drought laughing stalk to a blossoming perennial power. He brought in Beane who made the decision to get Josh Allen when all the "experts" and people on this board were salivating over "right" Josh. He knew he was going to get his QB the day he was drafted, and traded away picks to make sure he had the draft capital to get his man and they did. For that, we should all be eternally grateful for Beane for doing so. It hurts and it sucks that we lost, specially the way we lost. But in no way shape or form does that take away all the things he has done with this team and I have no doubt in my mind (barring injury to Allen), that this team will reach a Super Bowl or two. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
