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.

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.

Followed up by an even dumber take. Keep going, you’re on a roll.

No, McDermott is not fighting for his job. Epic dumb.

Well stated. No look-at-me drama queens here. I sure did not enjoy the Patriots game and sure do enjoy cheering for Josh. That's sports. This old man will buy that old man fan a beer if we ever meet.

I spent all last season believing DaQuan Jones was our defensive MVP. He was/is the rock up front that frees the other ten to perform.

Olive Branch, about 20 minutes from Memphis. At age 62, I decided I want to grow old with my college friends. I like the south, like this area, and am loving being back with my 45 year friends. And, 😁 I no longer own a snow shovel. Do you live in this area?

Thad Lewis was not a name I expected to be reminded of when I got up this morning.

I moved to Mississippi about five months ago. We see the commercial here and my local friends enjoy laughing at (with) me about it.

Done. Thank you, OP!

Yes, and McDermott is Donnie Meatballs for defensive player improvement.

This is not wrong, nor unfair. I work in a large corporate environment. I am a grunt - middle manager. Think of Steph as a VP. He certainly is a VIP. I would not, regardless of my feelings, make a loud and proud assertion or joke about a VP's mannerisms. At times, we have to know our place and shut up. I wouldn't expect to be fired. But, I would NEVER drop a public f-bomb. Adulting is adulting.

My concern with Edmunds' departure is the extra demands his absence will place on our DBs. Nobody will deny he took a lot of space in the middle. White and CB2 (TBD) will have to cover a bit more inside. Poyer and Hyde (aging and coming off injuries) will be responsible for more space in front of them. It's a game of inches and we may see a lower rate of success among our DBs as they miss the help they got in all directions from Edmunds. Time will tell, but this is my '23 concern.

I know of a Bills fan who used to be in Athens. I lived there from '86-'88. It. Was. Awesome.
