The Patriots on the other hand are dealing with coming off a preseason game where there starters were smoked by the Raiders backups and Mac looked bad. This review from the Patriots website says it all. They have a lot to figure out quickly

Don't envy Sean McDermott today.

 

Getting this team focused and ready to play may be the biggest test of his leadership as the Bills Head Coach. The Peterman disaster is up there, but that was just football; unfortunately for everyone this is a bigger and darker cloud over the team.

 

GO BILLS!

They’ll pull it together IMO. Lots of strong minds on that team.

I don’t envy him for having to get in front of the microphone. All else is pearl-clutching by fans and media. They are professionals who are pursuing the ultimate goal in their field. I think they will handle the scary dark cloud just fine.

I think they will be focused. I do think learning about it all over the last 24 hours before the game last night was weird and they didn’t really want to be there. The players won’t be involved in the Araiza stuff except I’m sure they are hoping he’s innocent

I know right? Just an 18 week stretch of train horns and boxing bells with Seven Nation Army mixed in.

McD meeting with Bills PR right now before his presser

[hemma]

Bills attorneys may have a teleprompter right in front of him today.

If they do, I just hope he speaks like a Borg.

“End of sentence.  Take your seat behind you and to the left, labeled ‘Coach McDermott’.”

Not to bring up any details of the other thread, but I think we'll look back at this coming out in August instead of November as a blessing in disguise. 

 

There's time for McD and the FO to right the ship and then get focused on the season. It could have been a thousand times worse if this calamity took place mid-season. 

 

I am truly praying for coach McDermott and everything he has in front of him!

this!

 

The situation is with a punter.   They have a owner who cares about how women are treated in our society.  The team needs to cut bait and move on.  They cannot have this as a distraction.

[Steptide]

The players really didn't look distracted to me at all last night. They looked like they were having fun on the sidelines dancing etc. I find this to be a good thing. Obviously McDermott was visibly upset after the game, but this is a strong team. Just hope this araiza situation gets figured out quick. Time for primetime regular season football
