It wouldn’t surprise me if Coleman is done altogether as a Bill. As fans, we only hear a little of what’s going on behind the scenes.

All this and we're about to run James Cook 60 times against the Steelers.

Yup that's a good comp too

Santana Moss?

I thought this too But cooks is more a super quick stutter step type wr Lofton was a long striding track star who probably aged better than any wr outside of Jerry Rice It obviously could happen Joey Galloway was a similar archetype wr and had great years in his mid 30s Depends on chemistry too which is massively underrated with QBs and wrs

I cook a bird in the oven, and one in the fryer, every Thanksgiving. We're having 23 guests over for dinner, tomorrow. I've deep fried turkey's at several tailgates, as well! 😀 I cook a bird in the oven, and one in the fryer, every Thanksgiving. We're having 23 guests over for dinner, tomorrow.

Until this, I was figuring he would see the field again, be it due to injury or them giving him "one last chance". While Cooks is hardly a world beater at this stage of his career I think to me it's a loud and clear message that they are done with the Coleman experience.

Then tell him to at least get rid of Beane and have someone else making personnel decisions. He sucks. So many chances to get things right and he can't!

Very well said and I totally agree

Sorry for your loss. They do become a joy in your life and so hard to lose.

Good post. But also it is exciting to know we're about to have Lofton and Stallworth on the field at the same time. Look out Pittsburgh!

It’s funny…I have a bunch of friends who are Steelers fans, and none of them think the Steelers have any chance on Sunday. And they badly want Tomlin fired ASAP…

I've defended this coaching staff for years, but they just havent changed their approach, their mentality, their scheme in almost a decade. Teams have caught up and Josh can't do it alone anymore. At some point a change is needed. I'm not sure Pegula has the stomach to do it, though. He loves McDermott

Thumbs up for enthusiasm. I think he's out of juice to contribute as a deep ball option but as I've said in other threads I think you can plug him in and trust him to run some of the option routes they abandoned when Dorsey was fired. He has spent a lot of time in EP systems.......most of his best years. That addresses this big "mesh" complaint about not having quicker developing options.

Thanks it sure beats the fire every one woe is me thoughts that always pop up !!

Agreed. I would also want the new OC to be experienced, maybe a fired HC who is an offensive mind.

"Shaq Lawson is a day 1 starter right off the bus"

Just because we have Josh means we're a desirable spot because some coaches like to build their team with their guys and their philosophies, heck we saw it when McDermott first came here. As yes we had a chance to take Mahomes and Deshaun Watson (whom I felt was a better prospect at the time of the draft) but we elected to pass on both. Why? I think it was because the thought our team had to develop more before taking the chance on a top end QB that or the 2018 QB class was thought to be better than the 2017 class so we risked that by passing on a QB in 2017 we'd get a better one in 2018. All things considered I think it was the wiser choice as am not sure Mahomes would replicate his success if we took him instead of trading down for Tre White etc. Not because he isn't talented but he wouldn't have same roster talent around him and or ability to sit his rookie season or getting same coaching that got under Reid etc.

right, but you said that there’s no evidence. Finishing towards the top of the league in yards per catch every season is evidence that he can do exactly what this team needs. Make plays downfield. He can do it, yet Josh and Brady rarely give him the chance.

This teams personnel decisions in draft and free agency have been bottom third of the league. But making the playoffs is always better than missing them. Because it gives the team a chance. Maybe they catch fire at the right time? Given all the injuries and gaps in the roster, WR as one glaring deficiency, it seems improbable this version of the Bills is going to make a run for the title. Playoffs or not it might be time for a change of GM and HC. Leadership is simply too invested in sticking with their current approach and refuse to deviate from their plan regardless of the facts and changing situation. We can't have another draft in 2026 reaching for defensive line and secondary help in almost every round of the draft. And failing. The obstacle to this any change is obvious, Terry Pegula. He's invisible. What does he really think about this team? Nobody knows. I can't recall him making a single public statement about the team over the course of several years. Clearly, this owner isn't prone to making quick decisions but he can't want until Josh Allen's prime years are all used up to come to the realization most posters on the board have already arrived at that this GM/HC combo is not going to take this team over the finish line. A parallel to this might be how Bengals ownership stuck with Marvin Lewis for 16 seasons. Marvin was a good coach but he was 0-7 in the playoffs and team finally made the move to replace him with current coach Zac Taylor. Let's hope Pegula doesn't wait 16 seasons to figure it out. All he needs to know to make a change is right in front of his face. Waiting another season or two or more will just put off the necessary decision.

Cooks still has a little juice left. He's an average WR now but he at least gives something for a defense to think about. He's not going to kill you there but he can still make a play....that alone should spread the defense out a little more. I was at the Falcons and Panthers game and man, that defense just dares you to throw outside. The safety's are squeezed in preventing everything in the middle...same with the LB's. Coleman was on an island all game and he just can't make plays.

Gotta root for Prep on this one--my younger son is an alum.

Every thread here turns into fire Beane. Fire McDermott. Like a goof ball such as Terry Pegula will make magical moves to improve the team? Not gonna happen. Terry is too busy watching the stadium cost overruns and worried about opening day of NEXT year. His wife is not well. His hockey team is run by two guys on expiring contracts after THIS season. Terry is not firing either of them. He likes them.

Joe Banner, Andy Reid and the early 2000 era Eagles felt the same way. It held McNabb back his first 5 years in the league. You're correct, they haven't kept up with the times. But at least they were getting to the NFC Championship.

Interesting thought and point. Personally, I’ve wanted a cocky, prickly guy. Cignetti was my first choice but he signed that monster deal. Lane Kiffin is next for me but think he goes to Florida. The Bills don’t need to be stoic. They don’t need “calm, cool and collected.” They need attack, attack, attack. The best version of Josh Allen, and in turn the Bills, is Thanos Josh. When Josh is fiery and taking over, they’re at the best. The 13 seconds Josh is his best. Josh taking off on 4th down vs. KC last year and flexing in the end zone. That confidence and swagger is infectious. The Bills follow Josh. The Bills go as Josh goes. Josh Allen sitting on the sidelines hanging his head, staring at a surface and not talking to anyone is him at his worst. He’s been gelded. What I want the most in a new regime is to let Josh be Josh. Lane Kiffin would be chest bumping him and trash talking. The Bills lost their edge. More than any other reason, that’s why I think they’ve struggled. The message and mentality is stale. Josh doesn’t need to be “reeled in.” He needs to be unleashed. The Bills need to try to dominate teams, not try to outlast the Saints. All gas, no brakes
