This is pretty dumb.  Imagine telling your head coach, hey, we are going to see if something better is out there.  Sit tight.   Why are people's brains broken?

Then you're missing out on a man telling the truth here.  I get that Dunne has a "rep" but check these out and tell me he's wrong:

 

Those suffering from Drought Brain — terrified of another dark age — will soon nestle into another blanket of excuses and swiftly demonize any criticism of team, of coach.

 

None of this happens if the Bills — ownership on down — operate with Allen at forefront of mind. He’s the most important person in the building. He’s the employee with the richest contract in Buffalo sports history. That’s what blew the minds of so many players and coaches I spoke to for The McDermott Problem. Those who’ve been around McDermott every day describe the coach as a simpleton when it comes to this position, as if he never understood that Allen was the No. 1 reason this team is a Super Bowl contender.

 

As I write this column, McDermott is holding his season-ending press conference. He says the biggest reason for their turnaround was cutting down turnovers. Let’s hope he doesn’t try to neuter Allen’s arm this offseason after taking aim at his legs last offseason

 

Dude, you call this TRUTH?

 

Once again, it is more of the same from Dunne. No intelligent discourse, just opinions and name-calling---supposedly backed by a few disgruntled, former employees. If this passes for truth in today's media, then we all need to turn off our computers and televisions. Geesh!

 

I don't have a problem with people wanting to move on from McDermott and explaining their reasons why, but whatever you think of him as a coach, he is a good man, and this is not the way you go about criticizing the job he is doing. It is obviously personal for Dunne. I mean, "a simpleton"? Someone may not make a great NFL coach, but you aren't getting to that position in the first place if you are a simpleton. Come on.

This guy needs to take a writing class. Good grief, that is painful to read.

You are basically engaging in a logical fallacy.  You don't like the message so you attack the messenger.

 

The old ad hominem!  It's older than stupidity itself.

 

 

 

 

 

Dear @Nextmanup,

 

Please consider the following online "law" as stated in Wikipedia entry for Murphy's Law:

• Skitt's law: "Any post correcting an error in another post will contain at least one error itself.

@DanInUticaTampa is NOT attacking the character of Mr. Dunne, but instead the quality and appeal of the author's prose. His delivery, if you will. Most assuredly NOT an ad hominem attack. 

 

Cheers,

They love his dark language and bashing, and I am pretty sure what their politics is as well!

 

Pretty scary stuff especially if this is not just how they view football, sports, but the real world too.

 

Imagine what an unscrupulous politician would be able to do with (and to) these people...like sheep to the slaughter. If facts don't matter, then everything is up for grabs...

 

Lines like the ones you quote above clearly indicate why he could not find work again in an actual newspaper or magazine--any editor would rip his writing to shreds--it would never see the light of day. 

 

 

 

 

Seriously, because some of us think that Dunn lays out some of the issues with McD that will keep the Bills from getting over the hump you can predict our politics?

 

And where in providing Dunns perceptive on things are people showing that "facts don't matter"?

 

Like I've said before I didn't even know who Dunn was before I read these two articles.  And yes I can clearly see that he has an issue with McD.  But I also can see that some of what he's putting out there rings true to me based on my observations of the Bills over the last 5 seasons.

Tyler Dunne is spot on. Great article I don’t understand how at the very least we couldn’t have told Sean McDermott hey we’re going to explore other options at head coach in the next few weeks. We are not firing you unless we find someone we think will maximize Josh Allens talents and get us to a Super Bowl more than you can.

 

It’s an off-season that has Hall of Fame coaches just sitting there for the taking. Why not at least check it out.  What’s the worst that happens if we do that? McD gets pissy and resigns. Well thank God for that. 

All you did was weaken a country today, that's all you did....

This was done over a week ago and honestly can this country get any weaker than it is lol

[FilthyBeast]

I know some will disregard it or not agree, but there's a good chance this team doesn't even make and go on the run they did if not for the timing of Dunne's article right after the blown game in Philly and during the bye week.

 

And IMO this is a problem in itself and magnifies one of the biggest issues with McDivisional's teams in recent years......the fast starts, followed by 2 months of uninspired .500 type football, then a strong finish. At some point you need to play consistent football from start to finish over the course of a 17 game season like the Chiefs have pretty much every year up until this season ironically.

Wait, Wat?

 

Just like Terrell Bernard wasn't ready to play last season, Dorian Williams was demonstrably no way ready to play MLB this season.  Even at OLB he wasn't in the right place all the time.

So what there is to disagree with, is the premise that Dorian should have been playing instead of Klein.  And if that's what Joe Buscaglia thought before the game, Joe Buscaglia is mistaken.

 

lol, no, Joe is not mistaken.

 

The two LB positions in McDermott's scheme are pretty interchangeable, especially considering all of these players have been learning both of the positions since the summer. These are professionals, it's what they do. If Klein went down with an injury, they were not going to stop the game and cancel. 

 

It was a mistake to play Klein. We know this now. That's what history will tell us about the Bills' 2023 postseason. You can stop fighting it now.

By what politics do you mean? Because I’m pretty sure there are is enough “dark language and bashing” to go around regardless of political affiliation.  But censuring someone because you don’t agree with what they say?  That sounds communistic to me.  Especially over the word “simpleton”.

I have been given many many  'writings' by friends who think they prove yet another conspiracy theory.  Reading Dunne's 'articles" I was shocked to see how close they were to those writings.  He offers no usable facts, has extremely poor, over the top, biased language throughout, and simply twists all to make his (conspiracy theory) point, hatred of McDermott stand out. Sadly, he can clearly fool a small minority of people, who then just circulate his nonsense (conspiracy theory).

 

Yes, I cannot imagine anyone accepting his non-journalism as gospel, as it is just a conspiracy theory too, one NO reputable publication would ever considering publishing--ever.  They would rip it up and likely fire him for presenting the trash that it is, the violation of journalistic integrity.

 

To me, only those slurping up the other conspiracy theories, and treating  other non-viable sources with no integrity as legitimate, would accept dunne's crap as legitimate. I am not saying it is 100% accurate, but believe it is close.

 

You can just look at the Tyler Dunne threads in here to see that he's fooled only the most feeble-minded Bills fans; they've already been appropriately labeled as such. Even less-than-savvy fans can see right through him.

Again I have no idea what you're talking about here.  My reaction to Dunn's article was that some of his observations line up with my own and provide additional perspective on issues facing he Bills.  Nothing more and nothing less.

 

It seems you have a problem with Dunn, fine. But it's beyond presumptuous to lecture those of us who agree with some of what Dunn says that our agreement is indicative of some greater political failings.

Can you be more specific?  Because feeble minded or not Dunn has identified and called out some problems with the Bills that line up with what a lot of discerning Bills fans had already noticed.  For example Dunn makes a case that McD doesn't understand Allen or what makes an elite QB tick.  And after McD's public comments and what we saw from Allen over the first half of the season this observation seems spot on to me.

 

Dunn offers a plausible explanation for why McD/Bean have not surrounded Allen with the best possible offensive talent.
