He'll certainly attract more women than me.

This view of Diggs has always had me shaking my head. "He's a competitor," "he's a warrior," "he hates losing". Let's paint him for what he is, he enthusiastically rides the bandwagon. When the going was good, he performed and strutted all over the place. I agree, he gave us 3.5 very good regular seasons. When the going got tough, he pouted, threw a major public temper-tantrum, pointed fingers, and went to the sideline on 3rd downs. What he didn't didn't do was fight for the team, perform in the playoffs, or come through in difficult situations. When it comes to true team-focused warriors, he can't hold Josh's jockstrap. He's a pretty little diva and his time has passed. I'm looking forward to the Bills' next chapter.

I watch the Bills, religiously and enthusiastically. I may occasionally drop in on the rest of the NFL. But, life is too good and weekends are too full to dedicate three to six hours on the other games.

That is not a large man.

A strong sign of emotional health.

Yup. It's a tough couple of days. I missed the Dallas game on TV because I was helping friends on a ranch get their livestock into barns for the night. Unlike the Bills, they're not built for this.

I don't understand why the OP feels that everyone should understand a Great Lakes weather phenomenon. I've spent the past couple of days (in Mississippi) explaining lake effect snow to friends. The folks here are fascinated and frightened by it. It just makes for fun conversation, especially over bourbon. BTW - it is 12 degrees with 5" of snow - very rare. The region is completely shut down.

I'm at 9. McDermott defenses traditionally smother one-dimensional offenses. And Rudolph to Pickens is not enough to make them dangerous. Offensively, we are better equipped at running back and tight end for winter games than we have been in this run. I think we're currently built for this.

Tell us you're illiterate without telling us you don't know how to read.

Someone owns a lot of cartoon books.

Holy cow Dick, let's not do this now...Dick

That Fins poster lost me at "My feelings is".

Is that, literally, a bad thing?

Get the same job in Boston you had in Western NY and watch your income increase by 40%. Then watch your spending cash decrease. A locale’s cost of living, or doing business impacts everything.

If this isn’t this year’s highlight, then it is the start of something special.

I read it and thought it was crap. Any other false caveats you would like to float?

Amen.

Those five words of reality trump Dunne's 20,000. Journalism, my @$$.

New here?

It's a hit piece. Denying it brings your level of literacy into question.

Honest question here, as I have never been on an NFL team. Is it possible Josh and Stef may not be aware of the whole story, or see (evening they are supportive) a need to comment?

Nah, I paid $8 to learn something and draw my own conclusions. I definitely learned something. But, it was more about Mr. Dunne than Coach McDermott.

I paid the $8 and spent the past two hours reading the article. When I finished, I canceled my subscription. In the box that asked the reason for cancellation, I wrote, "I paid $8 to read your article on McDermott. Your agenda, the contradictions, and your blatant dishonesty were all too obvious. You will never get a click from me again. " If I had another two hours, I would pull apart all of Dunne's one-sided contradictions. That is too much time and work. I'll provide two: Dunne attempts to condemn McDermott for not having relationships with players - being too distant and unrelatable. In a different section, he quotes multiple players who comment on how much they enjoy their one-on-one conversations with the head coach. One anonymous (always anonymous) player complains that the Bills offense is built for a dome. In another section of the novel, Dunne condemns McDermott for wanting the offense to be more physical and run-oriented. Dunne began writing with a conclusion, "McDermott must be fired," and worked his @$$ off to prove his conclusion. Unfortunately, in 2023, this is mistakenly called journalism.

I think this bears repeating.

OK defense, keep up the good work.
