Turned on WGR while driving earlier. They really need to stop taking calls…just one bad take after another.
Are the callers any worse than some of the “talent” on WGR?

I hope that this trade does not bite us in the arse like the Mahomes trade did.
I am not so sure.
Up until last night, I had a lot of confidence in Brandon Beane (not so much McD).
I will reserve final judgment until after tonight.
So far, it does not look good and I did not agree with his explanation. I think that they realized that the trade was not particularly well received by anyone (other than the Chiefs) and is one of the reasons why it took forever to have the press conference.
Also, I seem to recall that in the past Beane said that GMs make an attempt to find out what the other team is going to do or at least make sure that they are not going to pick the guy we want. He seemed to go in a different direction last night on this subject.

Lost in the Diggs news of this week is how wrong the Buffalo media have been about Diggs over the past year:
- WGR hosts routinely dismissed callers who raised Diggs' behavior as an issue
- Team beat reporters took pride in pushing back on the national narrative that Diggs was an issue and could be traded. They would boast about how they're local, on the ground and more tuned into the team. They'd highlight the cap hit and claim that anyone from the national media who suggested a Diggs trade didn't understand the cap implications. They loved going on national shows to tell everyone how much they know about the team and how the national narrative about a Diggs issue was wrong and potential trade wasn't happening. Matt Bove even tweeted that Diggs wasn't getting traded literally less than 10 minutes before the trade was reported
- Tim Graham (who I previously thought was one of the few good ones) is now reporting how Allen snapped at Diggs after the Week 1 loss to the Jets. It's such a disservice and somewhat disingenuous to withhold information like this until he's gone. It highlights how many of these folks care far more about maintaining relationships/access to the players than holistically reporting what's going on with the team - especially a week 1 incident involving a player who was the talk of the offseason
It's unfortunate we don't have media members covering the team who we can trust. I can only wonder what will continue to come out about the Diggs situation, or what would come out about McDermott re: 13 seconds if he gets fired.
Now I know who some of the posters are on this site. 😀

You sound like the sort of Sabres fan who actually thought trading Eichel and Reinhart was a good idea, or that they were somehow part of any problem with the team.
A pox on your family for a thousand generations!
You sound like the sort that is unaware of how toxic Eichel and Diggs were. The proof of the pie is in the eating. If you have any doubt about it, just how toxic must a player be to trade a guy like Diggs for a future second round pick and take the cap hit that the team is taking.
P.S. As for Reinhart, he had an expiring contract and was traded at the deadline. Different situation. I presume you already knew that. He also did not burn his bridges.

I will not individually embarrass them, but several of the posts of the Diggs' sycophants who steadfastly defended his "cryptic" social media posts and actions certainly did not age well.
How toxic must a player be for a team to trade him for a future second round pick and take such a cap hit.
Some of us tried to warn people.
Oh well, we move on . . . .

Good for Tre.
His agent must be outstanding because the $$$ are more than I expected given his injury and injury history.
Perhaps some of the money is for his goaltending expertise.

Andy Reid interviewed today said its hard to win and then repeated it. Literally today....
@Ethan in Cleveland is he feeling the heat too? I feel like every coach says it.
Thanks to McD's trade of the rights to draft Mahomes, being able to win has been a lot easier for Andy.
-
I guess that would depend on just how good Marvin Harrison Jr. is and how the Bills evaluate him.
As for the bad memories about what we gave up for Sammy, I agree and that would make me hesitate as well.
For those of you who have seen Harrison play more than I have, is he a generational talent? If yes, a trade would be tempting. If not, keep our 2025 pick for next year.

True… but they also deserve a lot of credit for taking a chance of Josh who many analysts predicted would be the next Christian Hackenberg or Paxton Lynch.
They also did an outstanding job creating a plan to develop Josh as a QB
Regarding drafting Josh: I give most of the credit to Beane and Pegula (no secret that Terry was a primary promoter of Josh as well as Mahomes).
Regarding developing Josh: I give very little credit to McD (especially when one looks at which side of the ball our first round picks have been). I give most of the credit for Josh's development to Josh and his offensive coordinators and QB coaches.

Without Allen McDermott might be coaching DBs in Kansas City.
This is true (perhaps this would be Andy's way of repaying McD for trading the right to pick Mahomes).
McD would forever be known for that trade.
Without Josh, I can only imagine how bad our record otherwise would be. McD (and we) are VERY LUCKY to have Josh.

McD told everyone we are winning the Super Bowl. Didn't he say it is not a question of if but when?

Buffalo's defensive ranks since 2018...
Points allowed:
2018 - 18th
2019 - 2nd
2020 - 16th
2021: 1st
2022: 2nd
2023: 4th
Defensive DVOA:
2018 - 2nd
2019 - 6th
2020 - 11th
2021 - 1st
2022 - 2nd
2023 - 12th
In points, McDermott's D has outperformed the offense four times, tied once, and was worse once (2020).
In DVOA, McDermott's D has outperformed the offense three times, tied once, and was worse twice (2020, 2023).
Overall, if you take the six seasons cumulatively over the entire league, no defense in the NFL has finished better than the Bills in defensive DVOA. Obviously, McDermott's playoff failures vs the Chiefs are well documented, but he would have for sure held his own with a league-average QB.
How many wins would we have had over the past few years without Josh????

We were very lucky that he was available and very lucky that he developed.
I stand by what I said: if we did not have Josh, McD would be remembered as the guy who traded the opportunity to pick a generational QB (against the owner’s wishes) and would have been long gone by now.

As I have said before, if we did not have the good fortune to draft Josh and Josh developing the way he did, McD would forever be know as the idiot that traded the opportunity to pick Mahomes who not only is a generational QB but also a thorn in our side every year.
Also, without Josh, McD would have been fired long ago as well as being remembered for making this trade.
McD and we should thank our lucky stars that we have Josh.

According to PFF, Josh was the highest graded QB for the 2023 NFL Season:
"Josh Allen stands atop the position: The Bills signal caller beat out 2023 league MVP Lamar Jackson as the highest-graded quarterback in the NFL."
"1. JOSH ALLEN, BUFFALO BILLS: 92.1
While Allen may have missed out on the league MVP, he captured the top spot on this list after orchestrating the highest-graded season of his career. The signal-caller showed elite dual-threat ability, finishing as the only quarterback to surpass an 88.0-plus grade as both a passer (88.5) and runner (91.4)."
We are very fortunate to have Josh as our QB. He is perfect for Buffalo.

Diggs ain't going anywhere for at least the next 2-3 years. Make peace with that.
The question is: Will Diggs make peace with that?
Bonus question: Will his brother?

You got me, wasn’t aware of the 45 yr old movie.
I guess I am dating myself. 😀
I figured that you probably were not aware of the movie. I was not suggesting that you should have been.
If you have some extra time, you may want to check it out. It is an odd and interesting movie. You also may want to check out other Peter Sellers' movies.
Go Bills!

Brilliant movie with the brilliant Peter Sellers.

I am guessing that you may not be old enough to remember the movie "Being There" with Peter Sellers that came out in 1979. I presume that the poster was referring to the Chauncey Gardner character in that movie. The photo is from that movie.

In my judgment, Wilks got thrown under the bus. Sounds a bit familiar. Hmm.
Perhaps Kyle should have been familiar with the "Josh Allen" overtime rules and also not overruled Wilks when he called that time out.

It is amazing how some people know how to say the right words and how easy it is to do so. It is not hard and takes less time than coming up with cryptic responses:

How many cryptic "fire McDermott" threads can we have on the TBD front page at one time?
This does not even approach the number of "fire Dorsey" threads that people created on this site over the the past year or two.
It is funny how touchy the McD apologists can be.

There are so many, but given that no one has chosen this one, I will go with Cream's Born under a Bad Sign (originally an Albert King song), which I always have thought aptly describes what it is like to be a Buffalo fan:
"Born Under A Bad Sign"
Born under a bad sign.
I've been down since I began to crawl.
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all.
Bad luck and trouble's my only friend,
I've been down ever since I was ten.
Born under a bad sign.
I've been down since I began to crawl.
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all.
You know, wine and women is all I crave.
A big bad woman's gonna carry me to my grave.
Born under a bad sign.
I've been down since I began to crawl.
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all.
Bad luck and trouble's been my only friend,
I've been down ever since I was ten.
Born under a bad sign.
I've been down since I began to crawl.
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck.
If it wasn't for real bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all.
Born under a bad sign.

Rd 2, Pick 33: WR Keon Coleman, Florida State
in The Stadium Wall

I have to say that I really love Keon’s personality after watching the press conference.
