In Mississippi?
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.

It looks like hardly anyone is giving the Steelers any shot at beating us, which is understandable and likely accurate. However, we have suffered humiliating losses to far lesser teams way too many times before. Anything is possible and Tomlin is going to have his team as prepared as is possible.
That said, if the Steelers were to somehow knock us out, what happens to this team going forward? Is McD safe because of his performance over the last 6 games? Do assistant coaches get the axe? Is Brady the really the answer? Which players do we finally move on from?
Holy cow Dick, let's not do this now...Dick

Here’s their master plan on how they’ll beat the Steelers in the AFC Championship game to advance to the Super Bowl…

The last time I was in South Beach I literally had to point at the menu at a couple different places. I was the only one there who spoke any English.
Is that, literally, a bad thing?

Home prices, sure. But are construction prices that different? Why does a stadium in Tennessee cost 60% of one in WNY? (I can guess.)
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.

To answer your first question - yes.
To answer your second question - HE DID.
I've noticed that the people most upset about Dunne's work are those who obviously didn't even read it.
As for the rest of your post, it reminds me of the old saying "There is no truth or reality. Only perception." Dunne gave the public a perception of McDermott that people who worked with him have. Who are you to say that those perceptions are any less valid than the positive perceptions of McDermott?
I read it and thought it was crap. Any other false caveats you would like to float?

Just going to leave this here for those thinking the players don't have this mans back.
Those five words of reality trump Dunne's 20,000. Journalism, my @$$.

Stop calling it a "hit piece". He took opinions from various sources who aren't fans of McDermott's coaching at varying degrees.
I think the only source who really questioned his character was the one who thinks he's a narcissist. But that's one man's opinion and each reader can take it for whatever it's worth in their eyes.
We don't get enough media about McDermott's negatives because so few who report on the Bills don't want to put that stuff out there for fear of losing access to the team. We need guys like Dunne who has the balls to write things like this because not everything is lollipops and puppy dogs when it comes to this team and its head coach.
To be so sensitive about it is silly.
It's a hit piece. Denying it brings your level of literacy into question.

I’ll have to watch Micah again but my thought was he was adamantly defending Sean. But have Josh and diggs spoken about it? I haven’t watched their pc’s the past couple days but that is really telling that they haven’t commented imo
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?

He still won, he got your $8.
Maybe he’s auditioning for the WaPo or the NYT.
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.

How about McD not trot 12 players out on the last play vs. Denver (after 2 timeouts)? Yes McD's fault as he is the HC and this is the simplest of coaching plays.
You love to absolve him & the D. Yep the offence was underperforming (you don't think McD played a part?).
However the offense left the field the last time they had the ball with leads vs. Philly, Denver & NE. They were one stop from having the ball again vs. Cincy, Jax & NYJ.

And we get them without Goedert.
We assume they will be able to run at will on us, but with Linval Joseph in the mix, more Shaq Lawson (now that we’ve pulled back on Von) and the way Tyrel Dodson has been playing .. are we sure that will be the case?Who is "we"? I don't watch with that assumption at all. False narrative.

I love the opening sentence, "Let’s strip away all on-field results from the 2023 Buffalo Bills for a second."
This is how you create a false narrative. Whether it is politics, at work, or socially, the way to misguide and absolve yourself of being incorrect is to establish a paradigm that eliminates facts that contradict your point. Laughable.

Am I the only one not planning on watching Chiefs/Ravens??
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
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.
