    Beane & McDermott end of season press conferences

    Even if that is the case, I'm not sure why you're mad at McDermott saying he fired him, there's no way in hell he's putting that out there, it's an awful look for Dorsey and the team, and the players probably don't want to put that on Dorsey either.


    Right.  Plus, it’s still ultimately McD’s call.  Unless @boyst is saying the players took it to Pegula, and Pegula told McD that Dorsey had to go.  At the same time, does this mean McD/Pegula waited until after the Denver game to actually pull the trigger on what the players voted for?

    Bass manned up and spoke to the media. Diggs dissapeared during playoffs, then ducked the media

    Aside from his own production and friction with the media, wouldn’t surprise me if Diggs is also frustrated with the team’s later season philosophy of running the ball more.  Isn’t that one reason he wanted out of Minnesota and didn’t like playing for Stefanski?  Maybe that’s why the team also started working him into some run plays, to try and keep him happy and give him a chance to make plays from that end.

     

    All that said, if the team decided to flip him to Dallas, we exchange 1st round picks and then get their 3rd in exchange for our 4th, I’d honestly be okay with that as it would free up some cap space for us and improve our draft stock.  We aren’t going to get too much more for a high-priced WR on the wrong side of 30.

    Can We End This Nonsense About Homefield Advantage Now?

    Given that the Bills under McDermott have failed to win even a single playoff road game, and are 5-2 at home, just maybe there is something to home field advantage.  
     

    another bizarre take from OP. 


    The OP also doesn’t seem to understand the biggest value of being the 1 seed is getting a bye week.  It’s an automatic “win” and chance to rest guys, rather than get more injuries.  Injuries are one thing that came back to bite us.  We were relatively healthy heading into Week 18 against Miami.  But because we had to play balls out two more weeks in a row (Miami then Pittsburgh), we entered our matchup against KC all banged up.  If we had instead taken better care of business earlier in the season, maybe we can rest guys down the stretch, and play the divisional round in better shape.

    Yep he’s toast. We need a WR1 in the draft because we don’t have the cap to procure one….or somehow Diggs figures his ***** out.


    Whether Diggs figures anything out, or has been injured, or whatever, we need to start drafting WRs that could be the next WR1.  We need some young wideouts with the wheels to make some big plays for this offense.  Josh can make guys like Robert Foster look like superstars for a season, imagine he gets the next Justin Jefferson he can play the next 10 years with.

    Bills Draft Rd 1 - Pick 28

    I wouldn’t mind a WR at pick 28, but this team has way too many other holes to fill to be trading picks and trying to move up much.  This team needs to get younger, faster and cheaper.  Draft picks are the only way to do that.

    Thread for roster gymnasts & CAPologists: how do we make this team BETTER in the offseason?

    Easy enough, but are you saying we shouldn't bring any of our UFAs back?  I really, really want them to bring Daquan Jones back.  It'd also be nice to get Epenesa back at the right price.


    I’d def support bringing those guys back at a fair price, DaQuan before Epenesa if we had to choose.  I envision Gabe gone to FA, Hyde to retirement, Poyer a potential cut, and Tre White either a restructure or cut if they can’t work something out.  If Morse is gone too, slide Bates into C and get depth via FA or mid-to-late round pick.  Up in the air if we should resign Rapp.

    Serious question - did you really think THIS was the team that would win a championship?

    They had a chance. It was right in front of them. 


    Yep.  Bills could have just as easily won last night as the Chiefs.  If Josh hits Shakir in the end zone on the last drive, or Bass hits the FG, we can all be pessimistic and assume Mahomes still would have won it, or it could have ended in a win for the Bills.  That said, game was a coin toss that we lost, rather than this team being clearly better than their opponent and not needing to win a coin flip.

    Matt Milano…

    It was clear that Klein was two weeks

    removed from his couch last night.  Watching him made it feel like I was out there playing.  Credit to Klein for even trying to help this team.  That said, an all pro like Milano in there or even Bernard out there is a huge upgrade over needing to rely on Klein.  

    Thank you Hyde and Poyer

    Sadly this will force Beane to worry about McDs D first this offseason and neglect the WR room once again


    I hope that’s not how it plays out.  Gonna need to get some reasonably priced free agents, although if they want to improve and get younger at WR, really need to spend at least a 1st or 2nd round pick there.  But also will need to shore up the D too, so really need to hit on at least a few of their draft picks.

    I'm split on the result I want here, should the Bills win tomorrow. Pressure will be off going to the Ravens, but playing against a young team with nothing to lose? Hmm.


    I’ll take the rookie QB in our house before going on the road to play Baltimore.  Have confidence in McD confusing Stroud and home field making the difference.  Houston will have had to travel in back to back weeks as well.

    Dolphins Hard Knocks

    I don't know about never, a play here or there this season flipped the division.  McDaniel gets the most out of Tua as I think you can get.  Tua cannot be in a better situation for his skill set.


    I think this year is as close as Tua will get.  It took boneheaded losses by this team and a cupcake schedule for Miami, for them to even get close to winning the division.  Tyreek is only going to keep getting older, a Tua contract will only eat up their cap space more, and they’re going to start running into bigger cap issues.  Time will tell, but whether McDaniel and the Dolphins decide to stick with Tua or not, I think they’re poised to take steps back.
