You giving me credit for using proper grammar while you are using improper grammar is hilarious. Also as for our initial discussion, you are acknowledging that it might be a different factor besides letting in less qualified men, which I appreciate.

Thank god I stopped in this morning; now I know exactly what's going on with this team.

Borned the same year of a famed Buffalo Blizzard prior to the 1980s but part of the generation that lived through the 90s teams and now living for this generation.

To all those that were clamoring for Beane to sign him no matter the cost - in the famous words of Toby K. - how do you like me now ??

On offense - Allen, Cook, Kincaid On defense - Benford, Oliver, Bosa

to be fair the super bowl is in february

To dismiss Brady as an internal hire as if he was just some position coach lingering around for years is wrong. He was clearly hired onto the staff with expectations of greater responsibilities, and was regarded as a talented young offensive mind.

No I won't You live and die w your best players

Na…bills never quite got into a ‘backs against the wall’ situation this year despite how many times the more pessimistic fans assured us it would happen. In fact it was to our detriment I think because we straight up slept-walk through that dolphins game im all for people being negative but that first statement just straight up isn’t true

Pretty good list and post. I'd add Shakir as I'm not sure we have a good replacement for what he brings.

I could definitely see that happening at the end of this season. We know Dahlin already met with Adams and told him that he wants to be here but things need to change. Reportedly Thompson said similar things. I personally felt/feel like this season was/is the last chance to prevent the new core from wanting out too (it would be the second core to want out under Adams). and Adams has done very little to try and prevent it. If things continue going the way they have so far this season, I think the only chance to avoid a mass exodus will be if Pegula fires Adams and the players are willing to give the new GM a chance to fix things. 100%. Adams has been clearly in over his head since the day he was hired. He has to be one of the least qualified general managers to ever hold the title (he’s certainly the least qualified Sabres GM in history). Which made it all the more ridiculous that Pegula had him working with almost no other front office staff his first # of years on the job. I still remember after the mass firings, Terry saying that between him, Adams and Ralph Krueger they could figure things out. 🤦‍♂️

I think this could be his best coaching job. This, in spite of being giving a roster that has glaringly been neglected in a couple of key spots by Beane. And, he has had to deal with players they brought in not working out-Larry Ogunjobi anyone. Also, being saddled with some poor cap decisions by the front office. I'd say he doesn't want to be tied at the hip with Brandon Beane, and it shows in his press conferences. McDermott is a pro and bites his tongue, and it shows that sometimes he'd just like to spit out that Beane hasn't done what he's asked for!

Which is coaching purgatory imo. Not good enough to win a SB. Yet, good enough where it's tough to just replace him.

Heck ask Luck to come back he's gotta be healed up by now & is younger than Brady but either could probably make a run at it with this team .

I don't know if Aiyuk will get himself released and/or he would be healthy to play this year, but seems like a decent, albeit remote option. I wouldn't mind seeing DJ Moore brought in this offseason.

I don't think the Pats will lose to either of them but if anyone can pull of the upset it will be the Dolphins despite Tua's struggles in the cold. The Jets don't have a shot at this point. They are playing Cook at QB now and he didn't look good vs the Dolphins.

This is the game I bought the late season Sunday ticket for. Only cost like 40 bucks for the end of the year. I would be getting the Chargers Sunday.

.

Doesn't that put even more pressure on McDermott though? Losing a postseason game to Nix, Maye, old Rodgers, Stroud would put him under the microscope even more. IF he/they can't get to a SB this year, it will never happen.

Certainly is. To use his own words, he's a fundamentally strong coach. I really don't think he prevents us from winning, especially with a better roster. But I also don't think he's vaulting us to the forefront. I put most of that on his reluctance to add top coordinators outside the team including on his own defense. Watching what Ben Johnson does with Chicago's offense is just, wow. The motion, misdirection, all of it. It's a serious advantage. He's not bringing that type of advantage to the team.

Shaq T needs to be on this list. He brings leadership intangibles and a toughness against the run that you can feel. Watch his press conferences, he's taken total ownership of the defense that no one else on that side of the ball has in years.

It was crazy to hire the guy in the first place. It was a heavy lift, and has been a heavy lift for a long time. Some of the disrepair and rot throughout the organization pre-dates Pegula even. To just kind of circle the wagons around people you feel you can trust, then attempt to have everyone grow into their roles, have conversations, and figure everything out is foolish. Maybe it is great because Terry Pegula can go through the reports and have a seat at the big-kids table, but as far as icing an even mid-class hockey organization, it is not so great. Waiting for the inevitable Kevyn Adams President, Kekalainen GM, and Appert HC move. That will "buy" them another 4 years until people are allowed to be critical again without being accused of "wanting to just fire everybody all the time".

Ridge, I like you so much that I think we should partner up in business together. I have no money. I don't really have any skills. Also, people find me annoying, quickly. Think it over and have your people call my people.* (* "my people" is my cell phone's name)
