he keeps interviewing and not getting hired (Denver just last year) so I doubt it happens. It's weird to me, because for some guys like Rex the "interview" is a formality. You either want him or you don't, so why bother if you aren't going to hire him?

so which game will be exclusive to this new service next season? We got off easy with Peacock, which cost next to nothing for 1 game. Not so much this time around.

if we had our way Tua would be a multi billionaire on a 20 year guaranteed deal and Tee Higgins would be offered $5 by the Bengals and become an UFA

Plus, people are comparing the two coaches at different points in their careers. Belichick had his superstar all-time QB early in his career, whereas Reid finally got his when he was 60+ years old. I really hope Reid continues to coach until he's 71 or 72. Then let's compare Reid at 72 to Belichick at 72, where he is now. IF Reid's still active until age 72 he will hold every single statistical advantage over Belichick except (maybe) SB rings. Plus he has a pretty successful coaching tree of guys who went on to win a lot of games and even Super Bowls (including hopefully McDermott!) Belichick has Brady and a bunch of awful coaches, outside of Vrabel who did all right in Tennessee but nothing spectacular.

McNabb was decent but not spectacular. For comparison, Kirk Cousins has better stats (more yards, more TDs) and is still active and will only pad his lead on McNabb. Reid also won a lot of games with Alex Smith. Smith was so-so and largely considered a bust until he was paired with Reid and at least had some success. Alex Smith once went an entire season in KC without throwing a TD to a WR, just for reference.

Word was that he was a little banged up by the end of the season, which makes sense. He's a smaller bodied QB, and running that offense relies on having his track star WRs also totally healthy. Inevitably, one or both of those WRs will get dinged up, miss games or just be a little bit slower, and the entire system stops working.

put another way, Reid was a borderline HOF coach before Mahomes ever played a down. Reid will be seen as the true GOAT, IMO, IF (and this isn't guaranteed) he coaches until he's 71 or 72. In other words, let's compare age 72 Andy Reid to age 72 Belichick and see about win totals, etc. It's very likely that he passes Belichick to have the most playoff wins of any HC in history (he's 6 behind now). It's also likely that if Belichick is done coaching and Reid coaches another 5-6 years he will break Shula's all-time record for HC wins. He probably won't get 6 rings though, so there will be a debate. All-time HC playoff wins: Reid All-time HC regular season wins: Reid Coaching tree: Reid by a billion Success without Mahomes/Brady: Reid was a top 10 in HC wins all-time without Mahomes, Belichick has done squat without Brady SB Wins: Belichick So it will be a real, robust debate, but I think the overall body of work, especially without each guy's superstar QB, is in favor of Reid. This is all of course assuming he continues to coach until he is the age Belichick is now (he's 5 years younger).

well, if they're truly engaged it won't be a secret for long Good for her and Josh if it's true. That means they're happy, and so we should be happy for them, especially for Josh since he's our QB!

Bernard Benford Shakir Torrence Kincaid Oliver Groot (sometimes) Cook Allen (of course) Lots of young guys making plays all over the roster. Von Miller contract is killing us, because we could be in a spot to give a 100M contract to a free agent WR to go with Diggs, Kincaid, Cook, and Shakir to really put this team over the top. This year we wended the season without our stud LB, his backup, or even his backup's backup. Next year we'll have Milano AND Bernard on the field at the same time, with Bernard proving he is more than capable after being pressed into action.

You can't say we're being mean, because we're rooting for the man to become the highest paid QB in history, preferably with an iron clad fully guaranteed contract!

A ring for the king

It feels like fumbles used to happen a lot more in general than they do now. Guys almost never fumble now overall. I know it does happen, and did happen Championship game weekend to the Ravens in particular, but I mean especially RBs. Even the great ones put the ball on the ground (not often) but a lot more than you see now. Turnovers in general seemed higher. It's part of why a 14 point lead used to mean game over.

I don't get the love for Dan Quinn. At all. Mediocre retread. I was certain with all the HC openings that Florio would have been going ballistic in his annual demand that someone hire Eric Bienemy.

Cry like a blubbering baby then, marvel at the fact that Tom Brady, the monster under my bed, the bump in the night and the shadow in the hallway of my football fan life, called the Bills first Super Bowl win and very likely would be all excited for us. It's a confluence of Karma that is too strong to deny. Bills win the Super Bowl in New Orleans next season. This is the way it had to be. The bane of Bills fans existence providing the commentary for our first SB win.

Saw this and thought it was cool: https://www.wgrz.com/article/life/people/bills-mafia/t-shirts-for-a-good-cause-jason-kelce-patricia-allen-fund-buffalo/71-d25457e1-62e1-4ea0-b60a-56e814e0e507 Josh Allen, Bills fans, the team, and the city are well respected and loved throughout the league. We have something special here that not every team/fanbase has.

the NFL all star game should be played in March or something... or just do away with it completely

He has to be careful not to overplay his hand. Opportunity doesn't come along often.

it just hit me: February of 2025, Tom Brady is going to be calling the Bills 1st Super Bowl victory!

Terry if McDermott loses in the playoffs yet again without making the Super Bowl: We have the right coach in place, we've been knocking on the door, just need to find that last pieces or pieces to get over the hump Terry if the Bills miss the playoffs: McDermott has done a ton of winning here, changed the culture, deserves a chance to make up for 1 bad year McDermott is as secure as any coach in the NFL.

I get what he's doing, and it makes some sense. But remember when Brian Schottenheimer was too good to even interview for the Bills HC gig because he was such a hot HC candidate and had so many options?

it's just weird to me because it doesn't seem like Brady has any particular interest in doing TV stuff. I know he has his radio podcast once a week, but Jim Gray pretty much produces it and makes it easy for him by providing all the structure. Plus it's radio. Once a week. He barely needs to even prepare for it, let alone travel or be on camera. Peyton Manning was giving Gordon Ramsay a run for his money for a while there, being on every other show on TV. Brady has done none of that. Peyton even had some horrible show on History channel where they counted down the GOATS of different categories.. LOL We tried watching it out of sheer curiosity but wow...

love it! He has definitely earned it with the LB play the past couple seasons.

McDermott is here for the entirety of Josh Allen's career, so anyone thinking of Johnson coming here as HC should do themselves a favor and forget about it. He is as secure as any coach in the NFL. There's literally nothing other than a total collapse and missing the playoffs 2 years in a row that would even put him in danger of being fired.

Brady is single and ready to mingle...
