I can't believe he was even on our roster.

Belichick now planning on bringing him in to use on gadget plays.  Will rotate out with Jakobi Meyers.

Does not satisfy the blood, honestly it’s a bull#### fire. You fire the one coach who’s been at a disadvantage all season. Beane gotta go to if he’s to close to McDermott and company 

 He doesn't care if it satisfied the blood. Whatever that means. Nor should he.

I guess it was his fault Hamiln died and they had to pay for a clone to show in Buffalo

 

 i don't think you have to pay the clone though.  That's the genius part.

I appreciate he was asked to make chicken salad with subpar ingredients, but aide from Poyer the safeties were not good this year.  We lost the 1 seed because of Cam Lewis’s brain cramp.  Then went through Johnson and Marlowe and Lewis and couldn’t find anyone who could cut it when Poyer was out.  This was an easy one for me.  
 

The more interesting question that’s coming is whether they blame Chad Hall for the mess at receiver, or whether the receiver room is adjusted this offseason.  (Or both, I suppose.)

How so? Cuz I didn't spend all day here.

 

For the record, I punched in Salgado in the search box after seeing your response and this thread was the sole result.

 

You have to be sure you're searching "this board" and not "this thread".  If you're viewing a thread when you search, the default is to search the thread you're viewing.

Like … he must be a good coach because he was a great player …

 

Amirite?

That and he was an asst DB coach here in '16.

Yeah, just like Beane said anyday now Gabe is going to turn into this great WR2 he was supposed to be this season.
 

I've defended Beane, but more and more lately it seems like he just another one of those guys talks a good game, but really has no clue what he's talking about.

He also let Wyatt Teller and Isaiah Hodgins go…? Which I thought both draft picks showed they could stay and even earn a roster spot over overpaid veterans. Coordinators at the minimum must go. And McDermott should be kept on as an assistant GM.

He should care about winning. And this coaching staff ain’t it.

I agree and Poyer towards the end was off. But I don’t believe you blame the coach for staffing issues. It’s not his fault he only had Cam Lewis or Siran Neal to choose from

Why? The safeties were brutal last time he was here.

This isn’t going to go over well but, aside from Poyer, they all sucked.  Hamlin included.  No matter who they put in there it couldn’t be figured out.  Bad angles, sloppy tackling, brain cramps.  It was one thing after another.  Say what one will about McD, he turned this team around and he obviously knows what he’s doing.  If he saw this guy all year and thought he had to go, then I’m all for it.  It’s not to say that we don’t need to change the depth there—maybe we do.  But I trust McD’s judgment that coaching in that position group was part of the problem.

Holding out some hope of some bigger changes with this still not being announced by the Bills.

Ed Reed doesn't think Ed Reed was at all to blame? What a shocker.

[RocCityRoller]

Wrong guy to let go

[BuffBillsForLife]

Ah yes, our annual scapegoat.

WR ended up a lot different than it started too -  Crowder missed most of the year.  Kumerow missed the year basically with numerous injuries too.  I know people think he sucks and only plays special teams, not to mention hodgins doing things, but hes a big dude whos fast and can block.  He's never played much on offense, but i think they were planning to use him a little bit this year.

 

Mckenzie and Allen just never clicked this year for whatever reason.  Davis runs a fairly limited route tree which teams picked up on as the year went on, not to mention his drop issues.  Shakir didn't get first team reps until crowder went down, and then took a while to get a role.  Diggs was still Diggs. 

[BarleyNY]

I think it’s been obvious that what’s been holding this team back over the last four seasons has been the play of our safeties.

Guess this means Frazier is staying, seems like he would have been let go at the same time. 🤬

[Taro Nimbus]

Look for Steve Wilks to come in as the new safety coach.  He has connections to McDermott in Carolina, where he was the safety coach there as well.  

[4th&long]

Well that Ought to do it. We’re back on track!

[Sharky7337]

This is like a CEO being terrible but firing his secretary.

[BullBuchanan]

Whew. Glad that's over.
