So you’re saying McD is such a good coach he can have results like we’ve had the last few years with only two elite players? Dang. Imagine what he could do with a talented team. 5 SBs in a row seems plausible.

McDermott also made the playoffs with Tyrod. Look around the league. Lots of failure and not many HCs who win consistently. We have a top 5 coach. You want to throw that away to take a chance on someone else who may or may not succeed? Unreal.

Mods, please add a GTFOH reaction to the emoji/reaction options. Thanks!

Whoever scheduled morning football doesn’t have young kids.

Completely agree. After a decade plus of hopelessness, there’s way to much overreacting to bad games here and there. Very unlikely anyone goes undefeated in the regular season ever again.

Wow. I had no idea. Ah. You’re right. I suppose we’re close enough to still take this trip down memory (nightmare) lane.

Thad Lewis was 21/32 for 202 yards with an interception and he fumbled twice, while adding 13 yards on 5 carries. Bills rode a Robey-Coleman pick 6 and three Dan Carpenter FGs to a 23-21 win over a Ryan Tannehill led Dolphins squad. I really just want to say… my, how far we’ve come!

I'm hoping we grind this out and control time of possession. If we end up with something like 7 to 8 possessions each, I think we could see a score along the lines of Bills 24, Miami 17

Shakir needs some touches in space on things like screens and swing passes. Let’s make that happen instead of the Harry touches.

Hogs is the obvious answer here, right? Which gives you all kinds of options. Pulled pork, BLTs, bacon wrapped jalapeños, pork belly burnt ends, and the list goes on.

There’s always the possibility he was drafted with a certain vision in mind, and Frazier failed to use him in that specific way. If this is true whatsoever, we should quickly find out this year with McD fully in charge of the D.

Just to add some names I didn’t see mentioned yet, having Terrell Davis or Priest Holmes lined up beside/behind Josh would be great.

And maybe if they could fly, just a little bit.

Are there any 6’ 4” 260 lbs ILBs out there?

Steelers maybe did the best. Bears had a really solid draft, and not everyone’s going to love it but I like what the Raiders did as well.

McLendon from Georgia would make sense but a bit early for him

Owen Pappoe seems likely

I was really hoping for him. He’s so fun to watch and battles for the ball. OL project, another shot at LB, or a Safety is likely our next pick

I actually don’t think we need to add a WR, but would still be stoked to draft Chuck Sizzle.

How is Simpson still there?

I think we’re going into the season at WR exactly how we are now. Unlikely well add one outside of UDFAs.

Ryan Hayes, OT Michigan Owen Pappoe, LB Auburn

"Since 2017, the Bills have allowed an average of 20 points per game (3rd in the NFL over that span), 315 total yards per game (1st), 202 passing yards per game (1st), 107 passing touchdowns (1st), have racked up 99 interceptions (2nd) and 158 takeaways (2nd)." Imagine being upset about this.

Yeah, cause it’s so easy to find a brilliant offensive coach who will take a team to the SB within a year or two. Probably why there are so rarely HC openings in the NFL. The only thing a new HC is at this point is a step backwards.

Changes at the coordinator level or at least variations in scheme, and committing resources to the O-line while committing to a more balanced offense. I think Cook combined with a bruiser style back can be the solution at RB. I think it’s difficult to be consistently good with a defensive scheme that depends heavily on stud safeties. We saw what happens on the back end with injuries. We need one additional impact player on each side of the ball.
