Diggs has issue with things. McD and Beane are rewarded. Could be related could be not. We knows maybe Diggs went as far as saying the team needs a change in leadership and this is the message no it does not. 

Did Diggs actually say we need a change in leadership, strange how i missed that.

Easy, obvious decision.  The Bills have a good thing going.  Let's not mess it up.

 

Agreed, three straight seasons of Allen advancing us past the wild-card round (twice against two of the worst teams in the playoffs) and even a divisional round win as a bonus.

 

What more could anyone want as a Bills fan.  

 

😁

The quotes were literally quoting you, the people who say that. Otherwise I would not have put it in quotes.

And you just reiterated the same quote, but this time in agreement. Are you a tool or a clown?

[Chicken Boo]

The only part I winced at is "Proud, Christian, determined man."  

 

Like his religious beliefs have anything to do with anything.  If he were Buddhist, would it have been mentioned?  

[Goin Breakdown]

Man I really wanted to return to the coaching turnstile we had for close to 20 years.

Yep, agree. And probably, sad to say, Kim's health too. Not sure Terry is for ripping up the stability he has with the Bills unless he really has to with all the other factors. 

Just as an organization, I suspect that Kim's health issues have had a much broader effect on the team than has been discussed.

So turning a franchise of lovable losers into true SB contenders for three years straight and counting is worth more than the opinions of fans on TBD? 
 

Blasphemy. 

They turned the franchise around and deserve credit for that. But they haven’t been “true SB contenders.” Based on their various degrees of playoff implosion, there’s still a brick wall separating legit SB contention. 
 

The question is whether the current direction of the roster, cap situation, and defense-oriented outlook will get them any closer.

Once again here we have proof that NFL owners may be super rich, but most of them are as dumb as a rock. This move was NOT needed, and really is mind boggling. There's absolutely no good reason to do this.

 

Reminds me of the big contract given to Fitzpatrick years ago, mid season, after the Bills got off to a good start (5-1, I think). What happened for the rest of the year though? LOL

Comparing a players contract to a coaches contract is the mind boggling part.

 

That's not "team" money.  That's Terry's money.

I have no idea what you are talking about man. I just said Pegula would not extend both Beane or McDermott if the thought even existed in their mind that they were on the hotseat this year as so many of YOU claim they are.

Really, that havent been true super Bowl contenders?  Sure about that?

 

Non-sense.

lmao the random rationalization because it cant be they are happy with McDermott and Beane's progress of putting us in the position to finally win it all. Its gotta be x y z instead.

I don't think they should be fired. Just odd they are extended with 3 years left

This is going to be an unpopular take. But the timing is interesting. Could it be a message from ownership to the players, especially the black players. The GM and coach are my guys, you are a player aka the staff and need to know your place. Diggs speaking up and challenging the coach and GM stirred the pot. So Pegula needs to show that he stands with them. Who knows maybe some of the character guys talk bothers players. It can be viewed as a certain way to some of the black players. It was interesting in the comments around this extension, specifically calling out being a good Christian, etc. 

"... especially the black players???" Where is your head at?

Two wild-card games and a Divisional game?

 

With Allen?  

 

I certainly hope that fan expectations going forward are higher than that. 

 

Just sayin''

In fairness, 30 other teams have failed to accomplish that over the same time period

Thumbs up for Beane extension. 

Thumbs down for McD extension, AND I DO NOT WANT HIM GONE at this time. 

 

I'm not sure that anyone wanted him gone right now, but if this season ends up again barely beating another schlep team in the wild-card round followed by a loss in the divisional round, why do I see a significant change in attitude here.  LOL 

 

Waiting the season would seem to have been wise.  Not sure why the hurry with three seasons remaining on both of their contacts, which were sync'd a couple of years ago.

Josh will be 31 by the end of this deal.  I don't feel I need to elaborate on what needs to happen between now and then.

If they’re a top 5 combo then they routinely underperform their own capabilities by flailing in the round of 8.

Oh, Einstein. Please don’t make me continue to push back on your agenda. It’s as sound as the OceanGate submersible.

Alright. So you have no idea of your own opinions from day to day. I buy that.

[mushypeaches]

The piece that disgruntled fans here seem to lack awareness of is exactly how hard both Beane & McDermott work to get better at their professions.

They are open to new ideas, trying new things, and actively focusing on improving their own deficiencies in the off-season

 

This isn't guys like Jeff Fisher, or Marty Schottenheimer, or Marvin Lewis, or Mike McCarthy who might have had some early success and mostly fiddly-farted their way through the last 2/3 of their careers - fans and pundits KNOWING that these guys weren't going to get any better or ever sniff a SB

 

My point is that both guys, and especially McDermott are putting in the hard work and effort to keep the stability that they've built the last 6 seasons while making the changes and enhancements that are needed to improve and keep giving us shots at a ring.  

 

Each and every frigging year

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Well like it or not we are stuck with McDermott for the next few seasons. 

As much as I criticize him, the Bills could do a lot worse. 

At this point we just have to sit back and hope Josh can deliver us a championship.  

Peyton won a SuperBowl despite Dungy. Allen will have to do the same.
