I will say it until we move on from him, he is Marty Shottenheimer. I dont need to keep seeing groundhog day to know how it ends. It ends 2-3 steps short of the goal. 13 seconds showed me he's not the sharpest tool in the shed. i've said it before it was coaching malpractice, and that was with a TV timeout to prepare for the final plays. Everything you shouldn't of done, he did, from the KO to playing outside contain prevent D. It's always his side of the ball specialty that comes up small in big moments. I dont want to see 10 years of our defense getting pushed around in the playoffs. Eagles stopped the Chiefs 9 times in the superbowl, McC has done it 9 times in 4 games. It can be done, just this guy cant do it. I think Reid/Spags vs McD is a serious mismatch.

1A. The only way to PROVE it is to inspect it. And personally expect any peace treaty coming out of this war will include an ability for either the US or Israel to inspect the actual bombed facilities (possibly technically through the auspices of a 3rd party like the UN or the IAEA but in either case am expecting that US &/or Israeli boots will be on the ground for that one). 1B. Likely the 60% uranium hexaflouride itself has not been destroyed, but it is also likely under several hundred feet of rock and debris. Would expect the centrifuges used to purify it likely are destroyed and are many of the Iranian scientists and engineers that oversaw and designed the purification operations. The only way to guarantee that the Iranians can't use that uranium is if somebody else takes possession of it. Expect that will be a key demand of the US/Israeli side in any peace agreement. 1C. Forgotten in all this talk of the bombing of the enrichment facilities is that the Israelis also did a number on the Iranians missile building capacity. Finding themselves back near square 1 on that front is another good thing that likely has come out of this kerfuffle. 2. Are the mullahs still in power? Then regime change still hasn't happened. Are they removed / dead? (Oviously not asked today as they aren't, but hopefully soon.) If yes, then regime change has happened. 3. No data. Won't even hazard a guess.

I gotta feeling this is the year Duke Williams finally gets over the hump 🤞😀

With former Fish Jimmy Cefalo on color...I'm sure he was none too pleased. Sorry, not sorry.

I disagree. I don’t think that they’ve thought that far ahead. I think that they’ve run out of causes to champion and this is one of the final frontiers.

Those of course aren’t mutually exclusive ideas. In fact, I’m guessing my hypothesis is the reason for the sale. Your hypothesis is why it’s yet to have happened. 👍

The 2017 Bills were just as boring if not moreso imo. As far as allowing Josh Allen to be exciting, McD has been very clear that his ideal offense is taking the ball out of Josh’s hands much more than we have previously seen. In fairness to Harbaugh, he has Roman who has always struggled with building a modern passing offense, and absolutely dreadful WRs outside of Ladd. They went back to the WR well again this year and we’ll see if that makes any difference. I also think there’s an argument to turn around a team in the modern NFL, you need buy-in equity. The chargers winning ugly into the playoffs probably went a long way in that locker room, not dissimilar to how McD was viewed after 17. He has now cemented it as his team imo. The negative Nancy’s lol. if McD wins a Super Bowl, him and Beane can stay until they die for all I care.

Fair enough.. screams to me that is a voting group dominated by 75k-150k white corporate libs that live paycheck to paycheck in a tiny NYC apartment, yet still brunch and go out at night, while believing they deserve a better life. Easily susceptible to a slick millennial targeted campaign promising lower rent and food costs while hitting their virtue sweet spot on cops, Israel and illegal migrants. Comfortable enough to not fear the ramifications but also not wealthy enough to fear them either.

I'm rooting for a real long shot, UDFA Stephen Gosnell from Virginia Tech. I've watched him the last few years, and he was grossly underutilized at Tech, mainly because they didn't have a QB that could get him the ball. He's wearing Steve Tasker's number, so maybe that's a good omen.

Kids being indoctrinated with crap like this results in a communist jihadist winning the NYC Democrat mayoral primary.

But on what basis? Payton has coached 9 seasons with an elite QB since he won his Superbowl. He's had some stacked rosters in that time too. And he has lost some playoff games to clearly inferior football teams with clearly inferior Quarterbacks. McDermott hasn't done that. Maybe some of you are like "year Payton might have lost in the playoffs to Phil Rivers and Mason Rudolph, but one time he'd have found one of his genius gameplans (and he can be a genius gamplanner) and a way to get past the Chiefs with Allen and that's all that counts... so we'd underachieve in other years but we'd get to the top of the mountain that one time." That isn't an unreasonable supposition but it is nothing like a sure bet. With the 2015 roster? Yes. Tomlin and Harbaugh definitely do. Stefanski I'm less sure but possibly.

This is where Jim Kelly and Chris Burkett started to have their rift and was one of the contributing factors in coining the “Bickering Bills” of 1989.

Anyone who would be a negative Nancy after a Bills Super Bowl win should just give up on sports. If a fan can't be happy coming off a championship season, then what is the point of being a fan.

Correction:

Couldn't happen to a better group of tardcarts.

This is a huge year for McDermott. To me it should be looked at as his defining season - either he can get us to the ultimate goal or he can't. Short of our IR wire looking like the Lions last year, there can't be any excuses. Last offseason we took our medicine and took a purposeful step back as a means of opening the second championship window. That window is now wide open. This offseason we have hired new defensive coaches with different philosophical backgrounds. We re-signed 3 of our own defensive cornerstones. We spent most of our free agency money on defensive players. We spent all of our premium draft picks on defensive players. So the message from the team is loud and clear - all of these investments presumably were necessary to help take McDermott's defense to a championship level. If after all of that we suffer yet another playoff loss to KC where the defense barely puts up any resistance, that has to be the final signal that McDermott isn't going to get it done. Ever. We also should be competing for the #1 seed this year. McDermott has to find a way to avoid the team's annual 2-4 game slump which perenially keeps us out of that conversation. It's not gonna get any easier than 10 games combined against a weak AFC East and NFC South. So get the #1 seed. If you don't, okay, the defense still needs to perform against KC in January. If neither of those things happen, then what is the reason for optimism that McDermott ever gets it done? I'm so over the debate on what he's done in the past. Both sides have made their points. My hope is that everyone including McDermott optimists are at least willing to draw a line in the sand on the team's performance this year.

Maybe. And it’s possible he’s been looking for a buyer who will keep the team in Buffalo but can’t find one. We really just don’t know.

I think the PSE idea was a bust from the start. Branching out in two many directions just hemorrhaging cash. I think this current maneuvering is a bid to focus on the core investments.

Kind of excited to have that goal line jumbo package like we did with Lee and punch opposing defenses in the throat again. love it

To get you back on track, do you not think Stefanski wins 10 with that roster? Or Tomlin or Harbaugh?

Myopic viewpoint. Only in dreams can NYC be swept under the rug, bid good riddance and it’s case closed with them.

I think he allows Josh Allen to be exciting though. Justin Herbert for all his flaws used to be exciting. Harbaugh turned him into one of the most boring QBs in football. The Bills are a fun watch. The Chargers made me want to rake my eyes out. But if your point is so far McDermott has proved himself a turn around specialist not a championship winner, of course that is true.

People are kind of misinterpreting this. If you look at the map, the truly "higher income" areas of Manhattan - the Upper East and Upper Westsides - went for Cuomo. "Middle income" as applied to NYers means struggling to get by in a preposterously expensive city.

Yeah, I mean, I cannot wait to get overhyped about someone at Fisher who won’t make the team. Best part of it for me. I don’t even watch the games after they inevitably cut our guy. Fools! That dude was gonna be a star!

ya I'm a big McD fan, always defended him on here but I just can't take the post season collapses
