Yeah, I mean what they’re saying makes complete sense to me, and obviously I follow the Bills and listen to pretty much all pcs and podcast interviews. It jives. I don’t believe from what I know of the two of them that they just sat up there and bold face lied.
Do you not think it’s important to have collaboration between who the coaches think would best for their scheme and who the organization ultimately selects? To think the GM just drafts whoever he wants without any communication or input from the coaching staff is about as asinine as it gets. Although I don’t doubt dysfunctional management would seem normal in jets land.
Imagine going on a Dolphins forum and bending yourself into a pretzel to defend the shitty decisions the Jets made to Dolphins fans? Granted we’d be doing that every week for a decade and a half but still, I think Jets fans are pretty honest when they make dumbfuck mistakes. On a good note, we didn’t waste the prime of one of the top 3-4 physically gifted QB’s the NFL has every seen by continually drafting average to below average corners and tight ends.
The dude is a cheerleader. Get him some pom poms, a skirt, and a folding table. If they fired Beane and Pegula claimed McDermott was undone by Beane's poor decisions he'd be defending it the other way around just the same
I'll leave it at this: All of the above will be forgotten if the new coach comes in a wins and they go to the SB. I still think firing SM was dumb by a knee-jerk reaction owner.
Yeah, I dont. Bills had a defensive head coach and it was the defense that has let the team down over and over in the playoffs, year after year. He had ample opportunity, Bills gave him draft picks and free agents over there, and yet 9 years later still had one of the worst defenses in the league. People were saying he should be fired in 21 after 13 seconds. He had 9 years. There was a lot of patience, this is not knee-jerk at all.
Because we have so much practice with said dumbfuck mistakes. We live in a target-rich environment of those. Sadly, I would have killed to be the team that wasted the prime of one of the top 3-4 physically gifted QB’s the NFL has ever seen. Because we would have had that guy, and I would have enjoyed watching him play. To be disappointed, you first have to have hope. For better or worse, the Bills have been good and have had hope since Tom Brady left.
IYO, was it bad picks & FA signings or bad coaching? IMO, if it's the players, than that falls mainly on the GM. Pegula said he knew it was time to make a change when he walked into the locker room after the game and saw how despondent the players were. Well duh, they just lost a close playoff game. That's why I said it was a knee-jerk reaction.
Their offense wasn't the issue. The Bills' run game was one of the best in the league with Cook. Even with a below average receiving corps Allen was still able to make it work in the passing game. Brady is a good OC. We will see how he does as a HC. The biggest thing for the Bills is who will they hire as the DC. That side of the ball needs to be fixed.
Brady sucks as an OC this was a classic Terry Pegula move. Sabres made this move like 5 times this decade
Trusted an executive too much. Their GM needed a scapegoat and pointed at McDermott. Brady is a yes man to that GM. but yeah they coulda just kept McDermott and Brady. Nobody was stealing away Joe Brady
Maybe this would be the kind of thing that would give McDermott a reason to actually take the Jets job next year. Makes zero sense. Blame the failures on the coach and then promote someone hired by that coach that you just had to get rid of.
Uninspiring is a good word Cowherd just used to describe it. The Bills problem is the shitty drafting and roster. And they have zero cap space unless Dawkins and Allen restructure so they’re stuck with what they have outside of draft picks.
