That certainly makes sense to me, and I think it must be true to some extent that McDermott orders the groceries and Beane goes shopping, to use Parcells analogy. In that case, McDermott could be unhappy with the execution of the plan/goal.

Everyone looks for every reason to hate Beane? That's odd. Usually people love a successful GM.

To hurt the Bills, a rival in the conference.

2 bold predictions: Beane is let go after the season (McDermott stays) Daboll comes back as OC

I'm becoming more and more of the mind that McDermott is a good enough coach that we can win, but the issue is Beane's roster management. Especially once you get into the "who would you hire as HC" discussions and guys like Stefanski or Flores are mentioned. No thanks. Beane's signing have been bad overall lately, especially at WR. Samuel is never on the field. Same with Palmer. Maybe they would be great. But history suggests not. He's hit here and there, as any GM will, but it needs to be better. This repeating pattern of late of bringing back previously released players mid season is a sign of desperation and that the roster moves didn't work. IMO, McDermott wouldn't mind a change at GM. I believe he could do a lot better with better players. He can coach up the D but it only goes so far when Shaq Lawson is about to start a game for you in 2025.

Keep McDermott but find a new GM I mean seriously... "He tried" doesn't cut it. Give McDermott a better roster to work with

Lamar is starting to deal with injuries on a fairly consistent basis. He's just not the same lately. Sad to see but imo the beginning of the end of him being that elite dual threat player. If the Bengals beat us they are winning that division

We should be careful reading too much into this game. After the Texans game we were wasting Allen's prime, the coach's message was stale, Allen needed weapons, etc. That was 10 days ago. Now after smashing the Steelers we're the 85 Bears. Not many realize just how bad the Steelers actually are. They are 6-6 because NE and Indy threw up all over themselves and turned the ball over again and again and again. And NE still could have won that game. They also played the Bengals twice without Burrow and gave up 30+ to Flacco in a loss. It'll become apparent once the Ravens hammer them twice and they go on to lose a bunch down the stretch. I'm glad we won, but let's realize that the opponent basically gave up during the game because their offense cannot score 10 points.

I want KC in the playoffs, and I want to beat them. BTW, they are not totally out of it even with a loss this week. Too many are prisoners of the moment, like the AFC teams will all finish with 3-4 losses and some 10-7 or 11-6 team won't make it. Just mathematically there are a good number of losses coming to that group of teams. Every game played between AFC leaders means 1 loss someone has to take.

10 days ago the sky was falling because the Texans dominated the Bills offense. Now we're a Super Bowl team whose running game cannot be stopped. I'm always happy with a W but people have gone way too far overboard because of a bad Steelers team. The offense scored 19 points, even with all the running success. Luckily, Pittsburgh's offense is so bad they can barely score 1 TD per game. Against good teams with potent offenses that is going to be tough.

I want KC in the playoffs and I want to slay the dragon. But there are some AWESOME weeks of football coming up for fans of the sport in general, in addition to a bunch of big games for the Bills. I've been saying it for weeks, but there are a lot of losses to be earned in the AFC coming up. So far, these teams at the top have been feeding on bottom feeders or NFC teams. But now someone has to lose these games, and the AFC playoff picture is going to become wide open. Everyone in the AFC can't stay with 3 or 4 losses when they all play each other, sometimes twice, in the next handful of weeks.

Last night woke me up a bit as a fan. All season I've been sort of blah feeling. The games just haven't had the same juice for me. Then I'm watching the stupid Jaguars come back to beat the Cardinals and I'm slapping the floor in frustration while I watch Bills games like a zombie... It's been weird. But something about Foxborough, questionable refs, all the fawning over NE... it awoke a beautiful slumbering Patriot hate that had been dormant. I feel back in it as a fan. I want to see us go in there and smash their hopes and dreams, especially in the playoffs.

2 SB berths and one title in the past few years and they are still miserable.

I will say this: I do like the Patriots stadium landscaping in the background. Looks like a stadium in the woods

I literally LOLed at that .. they just knocked a Giants player into oblivion and it's ok because he's a runner...
