That Aud Smell Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 Confirmed: In 2019, McDermott gave a speech to the team where he cited the 9/11 terrorists as paragons of coordinated teamwork. Incredible. More importantly, McDermott copping to this specific story lends credence to the rest of the reporting in Dunne’s piece. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if someone in the Bills org was sitting on this until an opportune time to get rid of McD, this would be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 Fwiw: Invoking the 9/11 terrorists as a thought project on teamwork is SO bad that it’s sort of funny. Is Sean McDermott a real life Michael Scott? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 Of all the countless examples of teamwork McDummy could have offered up and then choosing the terrorists responsible for the deadliest attack on our soil in the history of our nation as the example is beyond the pale. Ironically, few of the players he addressed in the room that day have a strong living memory of the event itself and as such they can’t really relate to the gravity of the attack on 9/11/2001. McD is dummer than I thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of their offensive metrics have been putrid all year. They were never as good as their record but they kept flunking their way into stupid wins. Not so much anymore.

Oy. Next chance could be in 4 years, which is when all AFC East teams will be pitted against AFC West teams (that's what's happening this season). Hopefully, the Bills can return to AFC East supremacy before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottysabres Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) I'm just now taking all this in. The wife is the Bills fanatic in the house. When she said a couple days back McDermott is an idiot, I agreed and said he can't leave soon enough. But I honestly thought she was talking about his in game decisions. Holy Kurfuffle Juice Batman, this guy's out of touch all the way around. My God, I can't believe he's still the coach.

IF they end up in the same slot in the East as KC does in the West in either of the next 2 years, the Bills will host them either/both times that happens. In either year they don't end up in the same slot divisionally then they will miss the opportunity to host them in the RS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, first I see these Ivy League School leaders not understanding the depth of the situation in Israel and Gaza on TV news ... now McD.

They don't live in the real world. They live in their spheres and rebel against ideas that intrude upon that. McDermott is disconnected from reality just like those ivy league presidents. McDermott is tone deaf and honestly, using that analogy shows there's a lack of awareness that we've seen in other aspects of his. He's gonna be the coach for the foreseeable future. Pegula doesn’t live in the real world either and he'll forget about this shortly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't read the article, so this may be incorrect. My understanding is that McD made his exceedingly unfortunate analogy in 2019. It's the journalist who is bringing it to light just now. There's a difference, imo, between a boneheaded rhetorical choice and the ideologically motivated actions of Ivy League presidents. One is inept, the other is much more reflective of entrenched opinions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
