He’s got the rest of the season to figure out some consistency. If he can’t- There’s a decent chance he’s replaced. He’s a good coach- but he needs to be a championship coach. I feel bad for him that his defense has been decimated by injury 2 straight season……but we need to see more consistency imo

3 great offensive games. 3.5 terrible offensive games

Big shock- throw to Kincaid and get first downs

I’m very worried about our DT situation. I would look for BB to try and exploit the unit. luckily- they are terrible, so there’s very little chance of losing. I don’t care if we win by 1 or 70. Just win and stay healthy in sept-nov.

He’s a capable back for sure. Cook >>. Johnson

Hodgins is just another guy. He should be forgotten

Sigh

Agree with all except elam. I’m not a fan of how’s he’s playing, but I think we can get away with playing him some Vs some of the teams the coming weeks. I haven’t completely given up on him yet. He’s still a piece of clay to me and I have confidence in McD. That’s not to say I believe he’ll be good….. I just believe it’s possible

-I think we’re good enough to make the playoffs without Daquan Jones but I believe we should make a trade for a 1T (I don’t think Settle and Ford are good enough to sufficiently replace Jones). -Losing Tre really sucks. Dane having plantar fasciitis hampers our cbs even more and I think it’s going to stick for awhile. I’m not very confidant in Elam based on his play so far this year. Benford has been banged up in his 2 seasons. I think we should trade for a CB based on the above. -Losing Milano is heartbreaking and our D will take a step back without him. I like what I’ve seen from DW and I hope that they let him learn on the job. I’m ok if we roll with what we have at LB. - I’ve never been a fan of Dorsey or Spencer Brown. Neither have show much improvement to my eye. I don’t think we’re currently a top 5 SB contender team based on all of the above. 3 major injuries and 2 weak links. But that can change If we can get Milano and/or Jones back this season. I feel our D can be elite, especially if we can add another good corner. McD has looked great as DC. Benford and Dane may be good enough, but I question if they’ll be healthy. Who else will suffer injuries on our team? Who else will suffer injuries in other teams? Will Dorsey improve? Will Dalton Kincaid be used more effectively? Can Josh and Diggs carry us to a championship?

I agree. If we don’t win the Super Bowl this year, I’m all for hiring Ben Johnson

Lots can happen from now until January. I don’t think you felt that way after 3 qtrs of the Miami game….. then we lost tre, Milano and daquan. Things can change quickly. Just like things can change quickly for KC, Philly,SF, Miami, Cinci and Detroit. Let’s wait and see which injuries occur between now and January. If those teams suffer key injuries and we can get Milano and or daquan back, we’ll be just fine. It just so happens that none of those teams have suffered any potentially season ending injuries…..while we’ve suffered 3 massive blows to our roster. that has nothing to do with Mcdermott

I’m talking on one point in this case, while you’re moving the goalposts and talking about something else. I’ve said several times that I’d like to go with an offensive HC if this season ends in a bad way.

So McD gets held extra accountable because he has an elite QB and hasn’t made the SB…. Yet he’s only been eliminated by the other 2 elite QBs.

Good

I didn’t think anyone deserved to be ejected. I’m not a fan of the how all penalties are negated if each team commits one penalty. All 11 giants on the field could’ve run up on Josh and continued to push him down over and over and over…..but if 1 Bills was guilty of an illegal shift they all cancel themselves out. Replay the down. Doesn’t make sense

I mean….Jerry rice is the greatest WR of all time. I don’t think he is anymore you asked the bolded question. What BB accomplished can’t be taken away. He’s IS one of the greatest of all time. 2 seasons ago, his defense consisting of average talent, led the team to the playoffs. Maybe the game has passed him by in 21 and 22. Maybe they just have no talent due to injury. He held Miami's offense in check. regardless- he will always be one of the greatest mind in league history. Your question, what has he done without Brady is just lame. What did he do WITH Brady? He carried Brady’s 13 point offense to a Lombardi vs the rams as the D held the rams potent O to 3 points. They had 4 sacks—-all on blitzes by LBs and CBs. He held the greatest show on turf to 17 points in giving Brady his first Lombardi. 4 of their 6 titles, his defenses held the opponent to 24 or less and gave up an average of 18.6 ppg in those wins. As a DC, he held the Elway led broncos to 20 and the Kelly led Bills super offense to 19 en route to Super Bowls. Is he currently one of the best coaches in the league? Maybe, maybe not. Hard to tell due to ineptness as a GM

“We gotta start Norman” end thread

Yes, it had more talent than it does now. That has nothing to do with him making the playoffs with that team and leading that defense to a #2 ranking. He’s not a good defensive coordinator. He’s one of greatest defensive minds in league history….if not the greatest. You’re not giving him enough credit. Yes, he’s a horrendous GM. I agree

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/nwe/2021-snap-counts.htm yes. They had the #2 defense in the league……led by BB. Look at the players on that D. 💩 More to my point

He led a garbage team to the playoffs with a rookie QB. That’s about it. But he did accomplish that

Because every team in every sport sometimes does this

This isn’t correct imo. We routinely pound inferior teams. That’s why our win margin is the best in football by the widest of margins since 2020. We put up stinkers from time to time. Like most teams

He’s one of the best kickers in the NFL. Kick that all day.
