McDermott not in Top 10 of NFL coaches per PFF.
Mikie2times replied to 14774's topic in The Stadium Wall
We have a TBD fantasy league, and we seem to have a lot more sane conversations on this topic. I’ll be the first to admit I’ve trashed McD for a long time, but I reserve the right to evolve my take. Since 2017, no team in the NFL has forced more defensive turnovers. We average 1.6 takeaways per game in that span vs. an NFL average of 1.1. A turnover has an expected value of 3.5–4 points. We average half a turnover per game more than the league average over an 8-year sample. That means no matter how stupid or inept you think McD is, he's bringing a nearly 2 point per game boost to our team. No player on our team outside of Allen is worth 2 points per game. Very few in the NFL are worth that total. The defensive turnovers aren’t luck and they won’t regress. This team has been doing it for years by forcing long drives, attacking the ball, and daring you to challenge deep. He did it in Carolina as well. In addition, he has the 11th-best winning percentage in NFL history among coaches with over 100 games. Plenty of coaches have had Hall of Fame QBs and not come close to achieving that level of success. His approach has given this team a consistency that’s rarely seen in pro sports. So to say he’s not a top-10 coach is pretty insane to be honest. At the same time, do those who feel like we’ve underachieved in the playoffs have a case? Yes, they 100% do. I’ve dropped statistical bombs toward that cause for a year+. We are significantly worse against KC than any other team who has faced them multiple times in the postseason. Our EPA defense in the playoffs is one of the largest deviations in modern history compared to the regular season. On top of it, most of us felt the ’90s team was about as celebrated as a team could be without a title. So these regular season championship awards just don’t do it for many. I can assure you, they don’t do it for me. A time might come when we have to move on, and if it does, I’ll be OK with that. But I’d also expect Sean to get scooped up in about a half second. If we move on, it’s more for a change of pace or scenery and if you want to argue for that, go ahead. I have done that a ton over the years. Just know you’re on much stronger footing taking that stance than saying he stinks. -
UPDATE: ISRAEL v IRAN - Ceasefire reached?

I don’t know how anyone can deny - now, a few days later with good/clearer intel - that: 1) This was a resoundingly successful mission based on its goal and the resulting outcome. 2) the “leak” was weak far left nonsensical reporting at best, criminal conduct at worst. 3) We can still disagree on whether the action and mission itself was still in the best interest of America. But, its seeming more and more to me (a far left whacko or a MAGA in disguise, depending on who you ask on this bored) that it was at least not as dangerous a move as I thought initially. So I’ll stand corrected there, for now, unless Iran does something insanely stupid. And I don’t think they want to be wiped off the face of the planet over “pride.” But again, what the ***** do I know? 4) Pete liquid lunch Hegseth still isn’t the best we could do for this very important government position, but at least this time, he seemed to do something right. That’s where I’m at right now. -

…together with the potential impact of legislative actions such as, but not limited to, the new LCFS standard, increase in excise taxes, Cap and Trade, SBX1-2, and ABX2-1, the estimated average consumer price of regular gasoline could potentially increase by as much as 75% from the April 23, 2025, price of $4.816 to $7.348 to $8.435 a gallon by calendar year end 2026. We can expect retail prices to be even higher in counties such as Mono and Humboldt."

Buffalo at Miami 1989 - The entire final drive
PonyBoy replied to Draconator's topic in The Stadium Wall
I've posted this comment on board a couple of times. I was in the end zone with a buddy of mine surrounded by the Jills who traveled to watch the game. We were hugging & jumping, body parts were bouncing 🥰😀 Man! What a game & celebration! -
Basic Explanations of Defenses and Offenses

Even if the game is meaningless in the standings, it won't be for the mafia assuming Bills make playoffs. That's what's gonna be so cool about it. What really would be a finality is if the Bills didn't make the playoffs and the last game would officially be the last game. How emotional would that be? The perfect season to me is Bills home field advantage in AFC, go to SB & win it all! I can see the movie rights for it already 🤞LFG!

Do you think that Russ Brandon had any significant duties with respect to scouting, acquiring, or coaching players after McBeane came on board? -

Who is the worst franchise QB in the NFL?
CA OC Bills Fan replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall
Several have already alluded to this, but I think you need to start with who is considered a franchise quarterback. To me, I think that the team has defined someone as their franchise QB by signing him to a non-rookie contract of at least three years. Not sure that three is the correct number of years, but I think it's close. Two years isn't really a commitment to saying that they are your franchise QB. Maybe you could say three also is too short but it sounds correct to me. If a team signs a QB for three years, they likely enough guaranteed money that it's very painful to move on from him. Or, perhaps instead of number of years, it's a dollar amount or percent of the cap at signing? Once there's a definition of who can be considered, then it's an easier conversation as to who belongs in the "worst 5" category. -

Until he gets a Ring, he shouldn’t be included in this list. In fact, he can’t even get to a Super Bowl with arguably the best QB in the league. -
