    Calling it now: Bills are going to at least reach the AFCCG

    It's happening! 

     

    I had a similar dream years ago about the Bills winning the Super Bowl in a year when it seemed to come out of nowhere. No details that time except I remember being shocked that of all the years it was that year. 

     

    This could be it! 

     

    I want to be clear though... This is not a prediction. I would predict the 49ers to get there. But it was an incredibly vivid dream 

     

    If the Super Bowl does end up being Bills/Lions ...

     

     

     

    The only details I remember are Allen being shown standing on the sidelines with his hands up on his chest pads watching and the score being Bills 40 something Lions 20 something and the game being almost over.

     

    I was confused as to why Allen wasn't playing but maybe the Lions had the ball. 

     

    I also remember feeling excited but also a little anticlimactic if that makes sense. Probably because of the score and just waiting for the end. 

     

    Sadly I woke up before the end. 

    I hope your right and more importantly I hope your dream track record as it relates to football is infallible!

     

    Assuming we make the playoffs, I don't think it would be a huge surprise to many people if the Bills  made the SB, but the Lions.... That would be a shock especially because the general consensus is the 49ers are the team to beat... Rightfully so!

     

    Would love to see the 49ers be a one and done team 

    Tyler Dunne story on McDermott - 3 parts, 25 interviews, one damning conclusion

    I don't think the piece is as much an attack on his character as he seems to believe. It does criticize his coaching though. And questions certain things. He's spun that valid criticism to make himself a sympathetic character 

    I more or less agree.  I didn't pay for to read all of the articles, but if they are inline with the free "introduction" then it's not McD's character that is under attack, but rather his approach and personality.  Maybe a fine line, but perhaps fair- Again- I haven't read the stuff behind the paywall.

     

    I think even his biggest critic would agree that fundementally, McDermott is a good and honorable man, with good intentions.

     

    Unfortunately this is how it goes for head coaches sometimes- who are public figures.  Of course, if any of Tyler's fact's are embellished and made up, then that would be despicable.

    Even if we run the table, it's hard to see the Dolphins losing 3 more games this year.  Even if the drop one to us and say a game against the Ravens or cowboys, they still end with a better record.  Even if they lose 2 + the finale against us- we have to run the board against a tough group of opponents.

    Would you today trade places with Texans fans?

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted · Edited by saundena

    I said yes because the question was phrased "trade places right now / today". 

     

    I think it is hard to project either team too far out.  Bills clearly have issues- but could very well get everything sorted out over the remainder of this season and offseason- and get back to being a perennial Superbowl contender.  We also have Josh Allen who at his best, was performing consistently at or better than Mahomes.  He didn't suddenly forget how to play quarterback.

     

    The Texans on the other hand are likely to have a better season than we will this year and Stroud looks great.  Still, lets see how they look at the end of the year and after defensive coordinators start doing a better job game planning for Stroud.  

     

    Overall, I think the Bills have a slightly better future over the medium and long term simply based on Allen.  Having said that right now, I'd rather be a Texans fan- at least for the remainder of this season- their fans have a much more enjoyable season to look forward to I think.

    Do you want Sean McDermott to be the head coach of the 2024 Buffalo Bills?

    No team in the history of the NFL ever won a Super Bowl where its the same HC and QB together for 5 years. One of them has to go. It's not Josh Allen 

     

    I think it's time that Bills Mafia hire out every billboard in Buffalo, simply with this message!

     

    Shows as a fanbase that we support our Unicorn QB, and recognizes that we can't waste his prime years.

    McDermott answers why we stopped uptempo offense

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    I believe continuity is essential for long term success, and while I've been on board with getting rid of our coordinators (Frasier, Dorsey 🙏), I've been patient with McDermott because I think he's a good coach.

     

    But the more I read things like this; the more comfortable I'm getting sacking him at the end of the season.  I believe his skill set might be better suited to turning around dumpster fire teams and not for bringing a team from good to great.

     

    Of course who do we replace him with?  It might take him a while, but maybe he's the next Andy Reid, Sean Peyton or Tony Dungy... All good coaches that it took many years to to win a SB.

     

    If it is time for a change, then I hope we can find the right person to bring us to the promise land.  I also like Beane, but don't know how it would play out if Sean were to get canned.  Technically, they both report to TP and presumably McD could be fired while BB retained.

    The Official Fire Ken Dorsey Thread

    I got a feeling Dorsey gets fired today or tomorrow. I don't know why. But I feel like McDermott has had enough. 

     

    I wish you were right, but I don't think so.  I think we're stuck with Dorsey until the end of the year, or at least until we're mathematically eliminated.

    Why is this team so flat??

    It’s because Dorsey is in over his head and has no idea what he is doing. We are 9 weeks in plus last season and this offense still has no identity. Dorsey has a bad design for our QB and personnel and can’t fix it. 
     

    this should have been apparent when he gets players he has no idea what to do with. We got Hines last season and he had no idea what to do with him. We got Kincaid this season and couldn’t get him involved until he was forced to. 
     

    idgaf. I will argue with anyone who thinks Dorsey isn’t the problem. 

     

    I don't know if Dorsey is 100% of the problem, I think Josh deserves his fair share of criticism, but i think it's time to make a change for the sake of next season- this year is lost.  If we get rid of Dorsey we have half a season to see if we are able to get better results on O.  Better to change one piece and assess the results rather than change everything and see what the outcome is. One variable at a time.

    McDermott or Dorsey?

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted · Edited by saundena

    I would fire Dorsey tomorrow because we are definitely regressing under his stewardship on O.  McDermott's seat needs to start getting warm.  If we collapse down the stretch I then I'd say bye bye.  If we look competent down the stretch then give him another season.  

     

    Something is rotting this team from the inside out and it started in the 2nd half of the GB game last year.

    Matthew Perry Passed Away

    in Off the Wall

    Posted

    This hit me hard.  I'm 41 and Matthew Perry to me feels like the first Ultra Celeb of my generation to pass away.  His character Chandler was my favorite of the friends.

     

    Sounds like it could have been a heart attack in the hot tub.  Surprisingly, a lot of people have heart attacks in hot tubs.

     

    RIP, you will be missed 

    Of all of the Bills’ issues the biggest is becoming clear - Discipline

    Understood, but I actually thought McDermott was good against TB. 
     

    Bigger test next Sunday, but my main issue with him was that in order for us to be able to win a Super Bowl, he needs to take charge on defense and be able to do more with less.  
     

    So when our defense was trash against New England, I was pretty much done with him if it continued. 
     

    Only one game, but he made adjustments and the defense dominated an ok offense with the best receiving weapons we’ve seen all season outside Miami.   He did so, in part, by making an interesting adjustment with three Safeties knocking Poyer down to LB on passing downs. 
     

    We’ll see if it continues, but that’s what I need to see out of him if I am to believe we can ever win a Super Bowl with him.  
     

    The Offense was better.  A lot of encouraging things were shown.  They still need to be much better.  Outside of the punts, which I agreed with at the time, he allowed them to be very aggressive in offensive playcalling. 
     

    They didn’t get it done in ANY of their possessions after going up 24-10.  And it was only 24-10 because of a quick change interception deep in our territory by the offense.  
     

    I think the defensive injuries will tell us a lot about whether we can ever get over the hump with him.   Lots of coaches could win with the defense we had fully healthy.   That was an elite, top 2 defensive roster.  
     

    Now it’s more middle of the pack.  
     

    Now it’s time to see if McDermott can be the difference maker.  
     

    If he can, I think we can win with him as a defensive HC. 
     

    If not, what’s the point of depriving JA a consistent offensive mind? 
     

    This year should be very telling…

     

    Keep your well stated, rational responses to yourself- this is TBD after all :)

     

    You are right that any coach could have won with our D when healthy.  McD will be tested with the parts we have left and it's on him to adjust and make us successful

    Just 3 weeks ago we beat almighty Dolphins by 28 points.

     

    Now, after 3 games bad stretch, the sky is falling.

     

    The overreaction today is really something else. Sometimes I wonder if some of you are watching their first season or what. Did SB winners always look unbeatable in W5-W7

    One week is an overreaction.  3 weeks is a trend and represents over 17% of the season.

    Bills vs Jags Postgame thread

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    Many things went wrong in this game.  Some issues were self inflicted, some weren't- but once the bad stuff started rolling downhill the issues compounded which is what you saw during the 1st half.  

     

    I think if this game was in Buffalo and we didn't have a huge time zone disadvantage we would have won an ugly game (much like the Chiefs did vs the Jets)- so I don't think we need to blow up the team.  That said, Dorsey needs to find rhythm and flow to his calls, and so a better job of removing the things that don't work.  Our TE's are collectively underwhelming- Knox especially.  We need to find better balance with our RBs.  Cook didn't seem to have it today, so why not lean on the other guys?

     

    Unfortunate circumstances compounded by injuries and self inflicted wounds were too much fo us to overcome.  If we can get healthy I still think we are a formidable team.... so hopefully, by some maricle we don't lose Jones and Milano for the entire season.

    McDermott Hot Seat?

    Can't the same argument be extrapolated to McD as well?  Seems as if the obvious answer to that is yes.  

     

    If McD didn't have Allen he'd be mimicking Belichick in NE sans Brady.  

     

     

     

    No, his track record speaks for itself.  There are things he needs to work on, but we were in the dark ages before he got here.  

     

    Our defense is (was) much better since getting  rid of Frasier. 

     

    If (insert name of successful HC) didn't have (insert name of top notch QB), said coach would also mimic Belichick sans TB.  We have a very good HC and QB.  We just need some good news on the injury front (and stop stop having them)

    No reason for you to watch. What will you do with your time?

    Geez what's your problem.  I never said I wasn't going to continue supporting my team.  I'm simply saying that is very gut

    wrenching for me as a fan to watch as our season stands on the brink- a result of an awful degree of bad injury luck that nobody can do anything about.
