    Gonna miss those guys, i think the worst part for me as a fan is watching contributors like po and morse walk to save pennies compared to what we pay von to be a scare crow. But I'm happy so far. Get younger and cheaper. 

    Scarecrows are more valuable than present day Von and we are saving a lot more than pennies. Von is a Hall of Famer, no one cut today is close.

    It’s almost essentially a fourth round draft, pick considering where Chicago is drafting this year

    It's the 9th pick in the 5th & there's always a ton of 4th round comp picks

    Dorsey was let go because our offense consistently showed little ability to adjust and create rhythms to operate through during a game.

     

    And, the team as a whole needed a shakeup and Dorsey's exit could provide that without damaging the team's production.  And Brady came in and improved the offense which was a plus.

    That is all true but Dorsey doesnt get fired after Denver if it wasn't for defensive blunders

    The sudden thirst for truth about DC is odd considering we swam in a sea of ambiguity for a few seasons now. When you juxtapose that with non-answers for 13 seconds, the Cincinnati acute emotional exhaustion, Frazier's coaching status, and the Dorsey getting fired for the special teams letdowns, it just proves that we not only don't need definitive answers, we don't even want them. 

    Dorsey was let go because we blitzed on 3rd & forever setting up the FG. We stay back and let the DBs so their job, Dorsey still has a job with Buffalo

    There was a video a few years ago of 14 year olds heckling Cam at his own football camp.  Now dudes are throwing haymakers at him? SMH.   Just something about the guy's persona that he does not get any respect as a former NFL player and excellent College player.  He's giving his time, you'd think people would be cool with that.

    Asking that kid about his dad was a pretty hilarious comeback

    Correct. But this news helps cap strapped teams more so it's still very good news for us. Of course it might mean free agency contracts are slightly higher than expected but still overall very good news.

    That was my first thought. You see $13M for the Bills, the players see $416M

    First order of business...

     

    Hire 100+ full-time refs and pay them $200,000/yr (and they must quit their other job).

    - 3 months of ref training during NFL training camp

    - Off-season refreshers/training weekly

    - In-season, in addition to their assigned game... weekly meetings to go over calls throughout the league and how to improve week-to-week

    - Ongoing review, reporting, and accountability with penalties (financial or dismissal) if repeated problems

    - Have another 50 refs "on call" for emergencies who are trying to crack the top 100

     

    100 x $200K = $20 mil (Nothing to the NFL)

    The refs have a union, it's not a money issue from the leagues side

    Except I really don't think you do. If you cut all those people you mentioned you are looking at tens of millions of dead cap money in one year. You still need to put together a 53 person roster and their are minimum spending numbers per season of real money. 

    You think Allen would stay if they tanked an entire season? Would McDermott stay? Do you think the fans would put up with a purposeful nonplayoff season?

    What you are suggesting is absolute lunacy. When teams shed contacts it is because they are already terrible like Beane did in year 2 of this regime. 

    No team in NFL history has ever tanked a season with a franchise QB. 

    You can't be taken seriously posting stuff like this. Cutting even one of these guys with massive dead cap hits is untenable. We were two or three plays away from a Lombardi. We have ten draft picks. 

    Even with McDermott they will compete for a SuperBowl with just a few roster tweaks.

     

    Now next year they can make some of the moves you suggest. The only decent player on his rookie contract that would be up for an extension would be Rousseau.  And they can let him walk after his fifth year. He is nothing special. They will be able to walk away from Poyer, Diggs, Knox, Dawkins, and Miller after this upcoming season if they want to with or without some post June 1 designations.  I'm not saying I agree with that but they become realistic options.  

    We were two or three plays away from missing the playoffs completely.

    This is tough for me.  Normally, I would say they should make the change this offseason.  But then again, what are we really asking for here?  We are looking for someone to do what no one else can.  I'd argue that McD plays Reid better than any other coach.  We scored more points against the Chiefs than anyone else did in the playoffs, same in prior years.  

     

    With that being said, you're asking do we drop the #2 coach for a hopeful coach that can do what no one else has.  

     

    I'm not sure how to answer that honestly.  

    McDermott is far below the #2 coach. If there was a coaching draft I doubt he goes top 15. Mostly because unproven guys have more upside, where McDermott you know your plateau.

    At least you have the guts to say it.  I would encourage you to do a modicum of research about prevailing stereotypes in the depiction of black people in the news and media, a topic which has decades worth of research for your consideration.  Or you can take a look at sentencing disparities between blacks and whites.  If you're still convinced that the white man can't get a fair shake in America then we can agree to disagree.

    You’ve never observed court if you are complaining about sentencing disparities.
