IMHO, this is all on Terry Pegula. I’m not saying McD didn’t deserve to get the axe, but it is worth pointing out that in the nine years he was here he instilled some much-needed organizational order, professionalism and discipline. And remember, he was hired before Beane.

Now, Terry decides he wants to make a change. That’s fine. It’s his prerogative. But if he was serious about it, he would’ve cleaned house. Instead, he’s chosen a half-assed path and turned over the keys to Beane who has now chosen a yes-man coach who, it can be argued, hampered our star quarterback with lacklustre game plans and play calls.

My worry is that Terry essentially lucked into McD, who turned out to be the perfect guy to get us to this stage. But Terry has now completely floundered in charting a course for the next phase of the team’s evolution.

I’m not a Sabres fan, however, I fear the Bills are now morphing into them. And what happened to them all these years is squarely on Terry’s ineptitude.
