Straight forward? He would be pissed that the rosters we have had over the last 5 years has not made it to the SB.

The more I've thought about this the more I think (in my view at least) that it comes down to how the see Ray Davis. If they feel Davis can replace next year and not have a notable drop off then you save that money against the cap and put it elsewhere. If they don't feel he can handle it and the cost is in the same ballpark to replace Cook (be it salary for a FA or draft pick), work it out with Cook.

He wouldn’t care that we still haven’t won a Super Bowl.

Of course you don't. They were out in force on Jan 6 leading the insurrection. So you're good with that. The FBI used to care a great deal https://www.fbi.gov/news/speeches-and-testimony/confronting-white-supremacy

Ralph would offer James Cook 25 more dollars per week Only because he was pressured

This made me think of this joke from Seinfeld:

Ralph (and team) negotiated a lease that would make it impossible for the Bills to leave Buffalo. Toronto was never an option and that’s because of Ralph’s efforts. He would be thrilled that the team is doing so well (his wife is still there every week). Well beyond that though, he’d be ecstatic that the new stadium is being built and the Bills will be in WNY long after that last lease. He got his wish.

I think he would be extremely happy for Buffalo and cheering them on all the way. Say what you want to about Ralph but he was a good man and we all should be thankful he was the owner of the Bills and kept them here.

Yes

I've been following this thread with some amusement and bemusement. Except for the Chiefs, no franchise in the NFL has sustained the Bills' consistent level of excellence. It's really that simple and is the irrefutable indictment of PFF's top ten coaching list. 2024-25 may have been McDermott's best year, as we kept our top level of competitiveness while transitioning our core. Any top 10 coaching list without McDermott is not a top 10 coaching list. I understand and share the frustrations listed in this thread. - The defensive line churn. - The heavy reliance on Josh. Although our improved O-line and running game are nice steps forward. - And, of course, the still elusive Lombardi trophy. Honestly, I'm 64 with cancer - please win the go***mned thing while I am here to cherish the moment. Don't let thoughts of purity and perfection deny you the opportunity to enjoy this period of greatness. They create the denial of a happy life.

Our receivers. Think they’re going to a lot better than most have predicted.

I mean OJ went to trial and the Patriots lost a draft pick. none of that happened with the Bills. I remember you even said for Bills fans to not get too attached to that extra first rounder we picked up. But of course, we hung onto it. And you said the Carolina Panthers “complained” but I haven’t seen any evidence that happened either. Or that they leveled any kind of accusation. So again, maybe the Bills and McD carried over some info from the Panthers. It wouldn’t be that surprising. But now the story/narrative has taken on new legs over the years.

I certainly hope so ..... he's a beast!

For most coaches those blunders are things like "ah we ran on 4th and 1 instead of giving our QB a chance" where the thought process was defensible and the fan reaction was entirely outcome dependent. You're not typically seeing cases where the coaching decision was so bad that it effectively ended the game. In those cases the offending coach is usually quickly fired, like Matt Eberflus after the Thanksgiving game in Detroit last year. Another example to me was in the Ravens playoff game when we had our backup DL on the field for the entire final drive, which gave us no chance of stopping them, but luckily we got saved from that fatal coaching blunder through sheer luck on the 2PC. My fear with McDermott for a while has been that I think you need to win those moments at least once or twice in your playoff run to ultimately win a Super Bowl. I don't know if he just tightens up too much in those high leverage moments or what, but he has consistently failed in those moments in some pretty shocking ways. Some of the other criticisms of McDermott I can find some explanations, like maybe the defensive breakdowns in the playoffs really are just because of talent and/or injuries, but I can't find an explanation for those end of game moments.

There isn't much that could get me to stay seated during the national anthem, not sure if this would or not. Fortunately I didn't have to make the choice.

Reid made in his 6th year with McNabb & 0:13 is the equivalent of attempted murder in the coaching world. There is no statute of limitations. Most of the board hopes you are right, but when you start talking logic and statistics, you are building the case to move on if we are serious about a Super Bowl.

I feel pretty confident that most fan bases feel the same way from time to time. Nothing is perfect in life, but I do enjoy that we get to some big moments. Fingers crossed that he gets the Bills over the hump sooner rather than later.

As long as we have sinks, we’ll be good to go! I hate that I just typed that, but……

Those coaches are gone, yet we made equally terrible coaching decisions at the end of the Rams game this past season. One of my concerns with McDermott is that I haven't seen improvement. Too frequently in high leverage moments we are still seeing boneheaded coaching blunders and that has persisted year over year. Oh well. Just gotta hope he figures it out this year, nothing else I can do.

Paint and punch-list consisting of installing or replacing non working fixtures, such as lighting and appliances are typically the last things done on a large construction project. My guess is that some of the high tech systems may have programming kinks to work out also. If memory is correct (which is not all the time these days) I seem to recall the scoreboard having issues on opening night at Rich Stadium.

I liked it last year at this time when you told us we need to celebrate even if it took a whole month to do so. That was fun. Then you said it wasn’t necessary to celebrate Leah T beating women in the pool. The picking and choosing has to get complicated.

If you want to truly understand how petty, how vindictive, how personal all of this is: https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2025/06/28/star-witness-against-kilmar-abrego-garca-was-due-be-deported-now-hes-being-freed/?pwapi_token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJyZWFzb24iOiJnaWZ0IiwibmJmIjoxNzUxMDgzMjAwLCJpc3MiOiJzdWJzY3JpcHRpb25zIiwiZXhwIjoxNzUyNDY1NTk5LCJpYXQiOjE3NTEwODMyMDAsImp0aSI6ImVkZTBmMDcyLWEyOTEtNGU5Zi04NGIwLWY5YzdiZGYwMmQxYiIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lndhc2hpbmd0b25wb3N0LmNvbS9pbW1pZ3JhdGlvbi8yMDI1LzA2LzI4L3N0YXItd2l0bmVzcy1hZ2FpbnN0LWtpbG1hci1hYnJlZ28tZ2FyY2Etd2FzLWR1ZS1iZS1kZXBvcnRlZC1ub3ctaGVzLWJlaW5nLWZyZWVkLyJ9._Nch735ocr9BypFYB3Xw3tJUhhZe5g2iCY6LIT4QPPA The administration is releasing a 3-time convicted felon who was set to be deported to get his testimony against Abrego-Garcia. It is commonplace to give small-time crooks this kind of benefit to go after the bigger fish. This is ass backwards. They are letting the more serious offender go free (and avoid deportation) in order to get revenge on a stupid schmuck who had the bad luck of being illegally deported due to an "administrative error." All of this just to avoid saying, "oops, we made a mistake."
