What are you talking about? The guy is a genius. He’s moved on from his complementary football quote to “2 dimensional offense”. It’s a very complicated and difficult offense where you run the ball and also pass the ball. McD is on it! Don’t worry.

You don't want to get forced into acting out of desperation but that's the position Beane put himself in by failing to address the obvious WR problem, with the exception of Coleman, in the past couple drafts. By contrast look at what the Eagles did by getting Phillips as a cheap rental for a 3rd. A 3rd they can get back as a supplemental pick if he signs a big free agent contract elsewhere. That's top-shelf GM work.

I want to see us play with tempo

I wonder how much, if any, Allen’s input influenced Beane in the Coleman pick?

In thought this was an IT stash situation

i think the idea that owning with give you the same cash flow as renting isn't exactly true. with a 50 yr mortgage it will be closer, but there's always unexpected costs to owning a home. on top of that, i can't imagine many 50 year mortgages will be new build. buying a new home on a 50 year mortgage just shows that you can't afford the home. that the entire point of a 50 year mortgage...it allows you to buy something that you can't afford in the first place, so not a good idea. next is the building of equity. how long will it actually start to take to build any real equity on a 50 year mortgage? 20-25 years? how much have you paid over interest in that time. guess what? it's far more that any equity you walk away with. i could put that money to far better use that that small amount of equity i've built. i was paying large additions to principal on my mortgage, so i refinanced a few years ago at 10 years at 3.125. i'll be saving 70-75k in interest alone. there's so much money invested into a 50 year mortgage that you'll just never get back. it's an awful thing to propose. this is nothing but a cover up for high housing costs. it doesn't actually fix anything, and it could lead to high home prices in the future from what i'm reading. quite frankly the idea is insulting, and the back lash is appropriate. it's just a bad idea. let's not even get into the idea of a 15 year car load. i'd like my country not to turn into a giant rent a center. i just don't know how anyone at all thinks these are good ideas.

Good news, maybe the knee injury that required surgery was limiting him at the start of the season. Lets hope it's fully resolved now and he can make an impact.

We may have a chance but then again we had a chance to get Waddle.

Sanders was my favorite draft pick in the last 5 years. So I'm excited. Usually me getting excited ends up poorly

Mathis is interesting. Sanders needs to be a dude when he returns.

In formations, first number is the number of running backs. The second number denotes number of tight ends. When someone says running 13, they mean there is 1 rb and 3 te's in the formation.

What McDermott didn't say was "no." Which, in turn, says it all.

Brady: "Coleman is slacking off." McD: "Make him run laps." * Two weeks later. * McD: "How's Coleman's attitude?" Brady: "Better, but his legs are now mammoth, and he's slower." McD: "Good, another body for the D!"

Heavy formation

I’m probably the dumb one here … but what the f*ck is “running the 13?”

Sounds good T. Whenever you vacation in the Tampa Bay Area, send me a PM and we’ll make it happen.

Probably there to schmooze with Bills fans. "Hey, can you put in the good word with Terry or Brandon for me? I'm a really really good OC!"

McDermott is a defensive coach. In his mind it makes sense to run a ball control run first offense. If it works your win percentage goes way up. You control the times of possession and limit the possessions for your opposition. It worked last year and in the pass happy modern nfl it actually looked like the Bills were ahead of the curve in running heavy personal against faster smaller defensive players. The problem is the Bills defense has smaller lighter lb’s and lineman so it works against us also. Only problem is our smaller lb’s and db’s are also slow. Now we can’t stop the good passing teams and we could never stop the good running teams. McD doubled down on the run first, time consuming offense to protect his weak defense to try to keep his injury riddled small slow defense off the field. It didn’t look good but it was working against crappy teams and the Bills had an easy schedule against weak teams. Now they can’t switch gears and turn on the up tempo pass game when they fall behind and teams have figured out their weak offense. McD will always have a defensive philosophy and won’t hire or let an OC run a high powered pass offense even though they have MVP Josh Allen now only handing the ball over and throwing lateral screens. It’s sickening. Teams have figured the Bills out. They aren’t good enough to just impose their will and run into 8 man fronts and they have no one to stretch the field and all the throwing lanes are cluttered up with defenses cheating up. They can’t beat the blitz and there isn’t even room for Josh to run anymore. He is neutered.

I just don't buy that the current receivers corps is the worst in the league as Shakir looks like the best slot WR or one of the best. Dalton Kincaid is one of the best TEs and Knox is not that far behind. Some of the Bills current receivers have the speed to get open and are simply not being utilized properly. We all saw that Josh Palmer can get open and get separation. Keon Coleman is not as bad as so many say and Moore is not that bad either as he simply isn't being thrown to enough. In my view this all rests on the shoulders of OC Joe Brady as his game plan against Miami was bleak. Miami stopped the run and Brady had no answer.

Often injured defense, these players are too soft. This team needs to bring back Gregg Williams. * DISCLAIMER: This suggestion is totally sarcastic, a farcical idea. I am clearly declaring it as such, since Williams will probably claim this one post on a message board is proof that many NFL teams are interested in him. 🤨

I like the way you spun this. Yea I'm wrong but it proves I'm right. Well played.

I really do see your point, however the NFL is now primarily a passing league. Football was great in the days of the Steel Curtain, The Ken Stabler Raiders, The Earl Campbell Oilers, etc. but those days are gone. The Bills are a team with a great quarterback, a very good (imo) OL, and inadequate wide receivers. This is unthinkably stupid, yet they dedicate their best draft resources to cornerbacks and DTs, and have done so since the arrival of McDermott. If they get rid of McDermott, this team would improve immediately. Once again this is jmo.

McD needs to start thinking about promoting Bills O line coach Aaron Kromer to OC, or Bills TE coach Rob Boras or QBs coach Ronald Curry. Hiring a passing game specialist after the season. My take is Bills OC Joe Brady is mailing it in...
