What currency is most convenient to your yacht? 

If it only has room for one person and if you’re tall you have to bed your knees when you sit…is that considered a yacht?

I stopped looking at this thread at 5pm.

 

Now that I've made it through the rest of it...

 It's not the squib kick itself  - it is everything surrounding it...

 

The assistants who have voluntarily left for lateral positions with other teams (Farwell, Chad Hall) or the strange Frazier move (I was in favor of), or even the report last year that Daboll wanted out regardless if he got an HC job or not. Lack of accountability to players but yet demanding it from them.

 

Once 2022 people within OBD were voicing displeasure regarding him.

 

When one is asked what it’s like to work with him as a boss, he chooses not to answer.

“If I have anything bad to say, I’d rather say it to his face. Read into that as you may.”

 

 

There are a lot of questions around McD. The standards have changed since he was hired. He’s a good coach. But I’m not sure if he can get us to a SB parade. I sure hope he does.

 

I have watched the Pegulas take 12 years to turn the Sabres around (hopefully). Because of that and the fact that I think more coaches are worse than McD than are better than him, replacing him is terrifying.

I know what he said.

My point is Wawrow moved on because he wanted to.  That thread was nothing particularly abusive of him or out of the way, and I’d know, for reals.

 

 

 

 

Right @Warriorspikes51........because Beck Water is former moderator Happless Bills fan.    The mod who issued 90% of the boards hater points in it's entire history in just a handful of years.    She tried to hide in plain sight as Beck.......but it didn't work.    Wawrow wouldn't hide well either.   Too obvious.

Right, but that's fan opinion.  Is it true, is it not true?  The fans on this board and the WGR call-ins don't know. There's probably a certain element of truth in that pro football is a performance-based business.

 

 

While I loved what Ty Dunne wrote while he was with TBN, it should be noted that he's  now trying to make a living now with his own subscription website.

 

And one way to solicit subscriptions is to generate controversy and clicks.  Towards that end, he initially featured disgruntled former Bills director of player personnel Jim Monos in a bunch of his early podcasts and writings.  Just bear in mind that generating controversy and clicks is how he has to do business now.

 

I think it's notable that, regarding accountability, former Bill 'Zo Alexander said basically, that for certain, "the players know...the players will handle it."  I think a person can second-guess the apparent decision to not throw some players or coaches under the bus to the whole team, or take more blame himself in a different way.  It's seldom been McDermott's MO to throw someone under the bus publicly.

 

I don't think Heath Farwell left voluntarily.  I think he was "voluntold".  Perhaps Farwell should have spent less time arguing for a squib kick with McDermott and more time getting his people lined up?

 

I'm quite certain McDermott had input into the final defensive play calls.

 

There were a number of other players who the team quietly moved on from, including Levi Wallace.  Wallace, in case one missed it, basically admitted in an interview after joining the Pittsburgh Steelers that he had lined up out of position and didn't use his usual cues of looking to one of the safeties to check where he should align.

 

I think if you look around the league, McDermott has not cycled through an unusual number of assistant coaches. 

 

It's hardly news that people in the organization would voice displeasure towards the HC after a dispiriting loss.

McD is 6th longest tenured HC in the league. Of course he runs through a lot of assistants. Also Pete, BB, and the Walrus won’t be doing this forever. He could quickly find himself at number 3.

 

Sean McVay is 7th which is crazy because he’s still one of the youngest coaches in the league.

I think we can all agree that if the Bills win the Super Bowl this year, Quentin Tarantino would be the best director for the film.

 

Josh Allen played by Chris Pratt?

 

Diggs…Michael B Jordan?

McDermott…Danny Bonaduce.  You know how Tarantino likes to bring back random old stars like Don Johnson.

No

 

Director- mel brooks

Diggs is Hannibal burress

Allen is Tim Robinson

McDermott is Zach galifianakis

Reid says he's sticking around for Pat's entire career, he doesn't want to let anyone else have him.

Nah, it's not a new allegation.  It was all over the Josh Britt breakup rumors thread.

 

😯🤔🤨
yes, Josh knockin’ up a barmaid and Brittney leaving him are all over the rumor threads. That the barmaid was Diggs’ (ex)gf is news. 
Not sure how you could have missed that part. But you’re typically pretty insightful so I’ll give you a pass on that one.

This past wild Buffalo winter was the last straw. Off to Florida they go. Makes a ton of sense.

 

Again, it's plausible.  Hall was well-regarded so to make a lateral move and not be promoted suggests it was something other than performance or a desire to be promoted.  And remember that Mike Shanahan's wife didn't want to be in Buffalo.

That info (that Daboll wanted out of Buffalo and away from McDermott) came from the Giants director of player personnel, Tim McDonnel. About a week before they interviewed Daboll.

 

As far as leaked information goes, that is about as credible as it gets. People in league circles talk.

 

 

It was one person, whose team was looking to, and did, hire him.  Not much credence can be placed in it.

 

And I can't view the image you linked.

If an NFL teams director of personnel, that is actively talking to numerous coaches in an effort to find someone, is not a credible source for information on what coaches are interested in moving on from their current team, then the only source you’re likely to accept as credible is Daboll himself.
