  1. Past hour
  2. ….and Reid has been winning Super Bowls about every other year since…… Very good NFL head coaches do not grow on trees. See my post above about Shanahan and the people who suggest him as a replacement. I think some people magnify our own failings to a great extent, and never fully put it into perspective. Shanahan may be an “offensive genius”, but he couldn’t run the clock out as OC up 28-3 in a SB with a couple minutes left in the 3rd quarter. Why do Bills fans just ignore that? Because it didn’t happen to US? He was up 10 in the 4th quarter of a SB as HC, and lost. Some will argue that “at least he was in a SB!”, but I will counter that he was responsible for losing both times. We can be unfairly harsh to our own, sometimes.
  3. The Eagles didn't just move on for not winning a championship with Reid-- I think a lot of people forget the circumstances there. They moved on after they spent big in a 2011 off-season where they were called the "dream team", and then proceeded to miss the playoffs and win only 8 games. This was followed by a 2012 season which was a complete implosion: they won 4 games that year and finished with two QB's on their active roster: a washed up Mike Vick and... Trent Edwards. Most coaches no matter how good they are, will be fired after two seasons of that nature when the QB situation is in flux and you're prime for a rebuild. The Bills will always be likely to keep McDermott if he maintains a stranglehold on the division with double digit wins and Josh as a healthy active starter, even if the playoff success is middling. But if we have a disaster-type season like the 2012 Eagles did? I think it shouldn't even be a question to move on.
  4. I don’t think there’s hypocrisy here which is why I brought up levels.
  5. Yea exactly. The Bills are so good at home. They might lose one or two. I doubt they lose more than that at home. And they could go unbeaten on the road
  6. That is the tough part. There is no guarantee the next HC would be better than McDermott. If Sean were fired, he would be unemployed for about 5 seconds. At the same time how, many years does he get to bring a championship to Buffalo. Allen isn't going to be playing at an elite level forever. The Eagles eventually moved on from Reid when he couldn't win a championship, and he had more success there then Sean has had in Buffalo.
  7. As has been said many times, ‘anyone can sue you for anything’ but these cases always bother me. If you were financially damaged by someone then I can see the purpose and remedy provided by a civil suit. But, suing someone because you failed in an attempt at criminal charges has never seemed appropriate to me. Nor in my opinion, is it the intent of the law.
  8. Amidst the recent commie shlit post barrage we had a single ubiquitous principle on display throughout. The Iron Law.
  9. So, you’re willing to hope and pray that a coordinator will be able to make a seamless transition to HC. That is a huge change in responsibilities and skill sets, and a very significant gamble. We know McD is a very good leader of men. So, there is that.
  10. This argument is silly Franklin - insert black people instead of jewish and wowsers the analysis would be different. Remember way back to last week when you were offended by the super racist joke of having someone dance-off their judicial dissent?
  11. Anyone paying attention to the Steelers situation with TJ Watt. I am starting to see more articles that Steelers are considering trading him.
  12. I missed the first time around, so I am asking your opinion, not the reasoning used, is calling for the genocide of a people harassment of people in that group?
  13. That home schedule is brutal though. Thankfully the Bills are one the best home teams in the league and have been for some time now.
  14. Any realistic candidates not named Belichick or Shanahan would be the OC's/DC's that are the hot candidates of a HC job that come up every single year. Who that is right now I have no idea. Or the Bills could have the option of looking at coaches in college football as well.
  15. Trump's "virtue" is recognizing that the US is special and great. Too many Dems dont understand that and how special and lucky we are to be here. One of my friends children just got back from a study abroad, who is more liberal than me, and was shocked by how much incompetence is just accepted in Spain. The parents and kids are good, hard working people and the kid could not believe the lack of urgency on any matter.
  16. what a great burn, it certainly shows an ability to process the material being presented in an intelligent manner.
  17. Massive early AM barrage still ongoing. Shlit schlong abounds.
  18. I know we have a lot of people who are still sick about 13 seconds. I get that, it was horrible and painful. Some of the same people who still can’t forgive 13 seconds have suggested Kyle Shanahan as a successor to McD. Shanahan is the guy who was up 28-3 with 2:25 left in the 3rd quarter of the Super Bowl and couldn’t/wouldn’t run the clock out as the OC. He also lost a double digit 4th quarter lead to lose a SB as a HC. I would suggest Shanahan has shown extended periods of befuddlement that was all on him, where McD was let down by assistants over a brief series of plays. How do you give Shanahan a pass and suggest hiring him while still hating on McD for his unforgivable offense? https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/kyle-shanahan-blown-lead-super-bowl-falcons-chiefs/e554be074afc01fda0f302cc .
  19. I've never voted for someone based on how "virtuous" he/she is. And the Dems lost any moral high ground with Slick Willy 35 years ago.
  20. It's the goaltending. They need a Miller at least. Preferably a Hasek.
