UPDATE: ISRAEL v IRAN - Ceasefire reached?

You asked for my opinion, and I responded. I have never asked for yours, and won't. Brilliantly planned and executed strike. Far reaching consequences making everything that might follow in order to prevent what everyone wants to prevent easier. Great night. -

It's hard to make Allens play look boring. But McD does preach play smart, some say boring, football. And he doesn't like risks, like the tush push. But he will let his QB and OC determine if and when to use it. And to make the necessary calls. If the D improvements work out, I expect more risk on the D side, during must win situations. -
It’s because of the Texans, who actually gave their 2nd rounder a fully guaranteed contract.

The 2009 season was absolutely fueled by the Katrina energy. It was the first season they reopened the Superdome and it was a big emotional season on the backs of hope and rebuilding. It was a major part of their story that year, especially in the playoffs where they were playing to win the first SB in team history at a time the region was rebuilding. -

Most will. But some here will still say he's not a good coach. They will say he got lucky. -
I think the majoirty of the 2nd round is not signed and its because of guarenteed money amounts.. When the top few picks of Rd 2 are signed I think the dominoes will all quickly. https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/2025/6/23/24454327/green-bay-packers-news-unsigned-2025-rookies-nfl-draft-second-rounders

he has to get over the hump. He has Josh Allen as a QB, it is and will continue to be unforgivable if we don't get to the Dance and win it all.

The explanation I've seen is this: A few picks before Buffalo, New Orleans picked a QB, Tyler Shough. Shough was not a highly regarded QB and he is 26 years old, but the Saints liked him. Moreover, the Saints may be in a position where they have to start him. The only other QB on the roster with any name recognition at all is Spencer Rattler. Well, Shough decided that while he can't ask for the big bucks of a high first round pick, since he is the de facto starter on a bad New Orleans team, he could hold out for a fully guaranteed contract. Agents for other second round picks got wind of this (agents talk to each other all the time) and decided to wait things out because if Shough can wrangle a fully guaranteed deal, perhaps they can do the same for their clients, or at least get significant chunks of guaranteed money. Hence, it's not Sanders being difficult, it's just agents doing what they're supposed to do, trying to get their clients the best deals they can. Anyone hear anything different or have another take on it?

Campbell should either not be on the list or be on there but below McD. I love Campbell, but make not mistake about it - he has cost them playoff losses and key losses in regular season over his stubborn decisions. What he did vs the Cowboys with the #1 seed on the line is one of the single stupidest decisions I have ever seen in a HC. He also had bad end game decisions against the Bills and in the playoffs too that led to losses. I love his attitude, approach, brovado - but there is a time and place for it, and his in ability to control that and find that balance has cost the Lions seeding and playoff exits. That being said, if he can learn from that, he is on his way to being a great HC - like I said I am a fan of his though, just its not quite polished as it needs to have been yet. -

It was wild. There was the Sabres, Bills, Bandits, arena, Healthy Scratch, Harbor Center, Amerks, Knighthawks, One Buffalo, their silly record label, sports agency, etc. I feel like Kim got involved, and even with her meager night school management course education, figured out that Terry was lighting money on fire all over the place. Kim started to reel it in, then had her medical episode. Now fracking Jed Clampett doesn't really know what to do from here. -

If I'm being honest. I feel like this is how it will play out with this coach and team. At the same time there are worse coaches out there and that's what will always keep him here....fear of getting a worse coach. -

I will play - McD - No other HC has more wins against Cheifs than McD. Paytons defenses have been worse than McD's and his playoff record and let downs are worse than McD's. So I will take McD over Sean to beat KC - and quite honestly, I think we will if we see them in the playoffs this year, but the team that concerns me more this season though is the Ravens. They are in tact and had a strong draft. They will be very tough again and our ability to get past them will come down to how defense improves between our FA and Rookie additions. -
Rookie - Landon Jackson. I think Jackson gets to camp and immediately looks like he's going to be Groot 2.0 for this defense. Non-Rookie - Dorian Williams. I think Williams hits the field running this year and looks like he's truly taken that next step.

I'm excited about both, Sanders tape is awesome, Moore was a stud in college, has had some success but hopefully coming to an elite organization can put it all together, poor kid only knows the disastrous Jets n Browns

It's honestly not that bad of a list. I'd probably slide Payton down to 7th and bump the guys currently ranked 3-7 up 1 spot. The 9 and 10 spots are also up for grabs. Campbell is pretty shaky only having 2 good seasons, and Stefanski is even worse. I'd consider Mcdermott, O'Connell, or Lafleur in those spots. -

Let’s play a game. Who is more likely to beat the Chiefs in 2025 and win the Super Bowl with the Bills roster? McDermott or Payton? -

Where did I say he should have been fired? I said without a SB win that missing the playoffs 3 straight years also following being suspended a season is not something many coaches survive WITHOUT the SB win on the resume. McD's record is better by most measures except the SB win - yet there is no way McD survives getting suspended a season and then missing playoffs 3 straight years with McD. And to say he is miles better because of some list is silly. There is no way Tomlin and Stefanski are better HC's than McD and yet they are on this list for example. These lists are not in anyway proof of anything other than a list one person made and published. So you are giving Sean credit for a 2nd SB win, in which he didn't even reach, because he got a bad call in the playoffs? So why are you not giving McD a theoretical SB win then after the Refs stole the game this year first not giving Kincaid the first down on 2nd down when he was nearly a yard past the FD marker and then again not giving Josh the first on 4th down when he was clearly there? That was at least an 11 point, maybe a 15 point swing in the 4th quarter of a game we were up 1 with. Chiefs got the ball back and scored plus a 2 point conversion to go up 7 when we should have had the first (twice) and were already in FG range and yet would have had a first and still a chance to score a TD as well. So sorry - to say Sean would have had another is 100% hyperbole as they not only didn't win the game they were in, you don't know if they would even win the next game or not. And given they were in a game where 1 call could swing it shows they were not so dominant that you can just give them a "gimme" on any other games after that. I get you are a Sean fan, nothing wrong with that. But I don't agree there is this massive gap between Sean and McD, and again, if McD wins a SB, his resume will be better than Seans by most metrics, and will have done it with less to work with around Allen. You spend every offseason criticizing the weapons around Allen, meanwhile Brees had Colston, Graham, Kamara, Thomas, etc and they still won single digits 7 times, had plenty of bad playoff exits, and missed the playoffs 6 times. -

A long time ago. I get it you are banking on him having a bit of genius and getting you over the line once. He might have done. It's possible. But his recent playoff record has to be considered in deciding how likely it is IMO. -
