I would imagine that the whole "being a rapist" thing put Patricia on the edge of being fired already. If you are going to be a rapist in the NFL you better be good at what you do.

You think this but do you recall his stint in Buffalo? And how they unceremoniously cut him not long after he signed that contact? Unless Fitzpatrick is impressive against the Eagles D, I don't see why the Jameis project would stop now.

I mean, he performed pretty well in the preseason, especially relative to the other QBs, so “at the time I thought starting the QB that played better than the other two was the correct choice” isn’t so dumb as you’re making it out to be.

Also, “tough guy” was never really the vibe I got from Sean McDermott, he’s pretty soft-spoken and last year he was always prattling on about how much the players on the team loved each other.

What McDermott and Beane should be killed for is mismanagement of the QB situation as a whole. This team should have kept 3 QBs on the roster; that 3rd QB could have been Tyrod Taylor, it could have been AJ McCarron, or it could have been some other journeyman jagoff, it doesn’t really matter at this point, because now they’re forced to either face a fan/locker room mutiny by playing Peterman again, or they have to throw their unready rookie to the wolves (at least they made the right choice there). That’s far dumber than saying “yes, starting the guy who played the best in the preseason was the right choice”

They kept him and started him again after last year, which seems damning enough without the need for anything else.

The past I think came back to haunt McDermott. The big risk with starting Peterman again was precisely because he sucked so terribly last year, he had a very small margin of error. Peterman took that short leash and hanged himself with it.

McDermott isnt as much of a tough guy or an authoritarian, but he has a very serious and tone and methodology so his power to motivate as a coach lies almost solely in his credibility and the belief that he is a capable leader. He tells everyone to "trust the process." The "process" is just really a mental trap for: believe in me and do what I say because I know what I'm doing.

He actually ran the QB competition perhaps TOO fairly. He did what he said he would do and really did give everyone a pretty fair chance to earn the starting job and Peterman did play the best.

The only scenario that McD would have got hurt for is the exact scenario that played out.

Any coach who gets beaten 47-3 looks like a fool.

I definitely am not for firing him so long as the Bills continue to take him seriously.

I know I'm hard on McD, personally, but this is absolutely correct. The season is far from lost: if they can manage to get the defense back on-track and not get Josh Allen killed/ruined, they'll be fine.
But there's basically no worse way the season could have started, and McD is kind of left holding the bag on the fact that we have two QBs on the roster and one of them can't produce in an actual football game.

Don’t get me wrong, I wanted Peterman gone after last year and I think the Bills would have been better off starting Allen than Peterman (I’m not much of a believer in the idea that Allen will get better on the bench, and while the offensive line is a major concern...it’s football. He could get hurt at any time even if he had a great line to protect him), but “guy who played best in camp and preseason won the starting job” isn’t something I’m going to kill him for. It’s the mismanagement of the QB situation as a whole that doesn’t speak well of his judgement.

Yeah.
I'm more upset with either him or the puppet GM trying to be smarter than the room and trading away McCarron for a 5th, than his rationale for starting Peterman.

The reason you keep McCarron isnt because he's an amazing player, but because you need a player like him to maintain some level of credibility if Allen gets hurt.

The silver lining for McDermott now is Allen can play like poo poo this year and the fans will be fine. The thing that could hurt the Bills longer term is if Allen goes down McDermott is exposed big time. McDermott is needlessly playing with fire when he instead needs to act strategically. Next year is when we can get some decent players but if he keeps doing things that backfire on him he'll be dead before the reinforcements arrive.

Like, it sounds pathetic, but if they hadn’t traded away McCarron they’d be in a much better spot now. McDermott has a contingency plan if Allen goes down, or if he truly feels that Allen is not ready/will get murdered behind the line, he can just flat-out start McCarron instead. Now they’re gonna have to sign Paxton Lynch or Mike Glennon instead (he’s a free agent, right?)

As much as I want this to happen it never will. In no small part because Bills fans are a bunch of loving knuckleheads—I think Bills fans were one of the, shall we say, “less-kind” fanbases when Kaep came to town after he started kneeling during the anthem

Reggie isn't that good of a drafter, regardless of what one thinks of Gruden.

And don't get me wrong, i'm glad Gruden is doing his thing, but the Raiders have spent a ton of draft capital on the defensive side of the ball and outside of Mack, most of the others have been outright whiffs.
