    Nothing is guaranteed.

    Difference in viewpoint:

    Play it safe/ status quo

    Go down swinging/ take a chance

     

    My biggest fear in life, getting to the end and knowing I could have tried but didn’t. That’s a regret I don’t want.

     

       The closest ( albeit not perfect) comp we have to Josh is Cam. Josh does not play as a normal QB does nor his he used that way.

    I have zero expectations that he makes it to his forties. We are playing with fire and when you do eventually you get burned. 
       My guess is he’s got till his mid thirties which means the clock is ticking to get a new guy in and give h a reasonable chance to win it all

    There isn't a franchise guy in Cleveland because Stefanski wanted Baker gone.   If the Browns had kept Baker, with their defense and running game, they likely make the playoffs 4 or 5 times under Stefanski.    

     

     

     

    Your hatred of McDermott is what is incredible.   

     

    McDermott has beaten the Chiefs 4 out of 5 in the regular season.

    McDermott has lost to the Chiefs 3 times in the playoffs.

     

    McDermott is 1-2 against the Bengals in the regular season.

    McDermott is 0-1 against the Bengals in the playoffs.

     

    There is nothing to "defend" about McDermott;  his record speaks for itself.   If it's not good enough for you, go worship on the alter of Andy Reid.

     

     

    Yeah, I'm cool with it.   As a Bills fan since 1963, I'll take the current Bills under McDermott because winning is a whole lot more fun than losing, which the Bills have done way too much during their history.   I guarantee that winning 11 or 13 games in the regular season, making the playoffs, and winning playoff games, even if not the Super Bowl, is a thousand times better than suffering through 1 or 2 win seasons or a 17 year playoff drought.

       Like going on a Great date with the same woman over and over and over and always ending up with Rosie palm at the end of the night.

       I get the sentiment. I get that many feel this way. 
       I wonder how it will feel to have had Josh and not get there. I assume it will suck worse than four SB losses. 
        We are hitting the point of no return with Josh’s career if we are going to switch.

       It doesn’t need to be a rebuild, just a“ Get us over the hump”

       McD hasn’t and it’s not like we are close, in terms of him bridging the gap, in terms of the schooling he gets every years playoff.

    It will be over at 0-5. Another devastating loss to the Chiefs in the postseason, where despite investing basically an entire offseason to the defense, the defense gets ripped through like wet toilet paper again, and Pegula will fire McD. 
     

    Folks on here will get histrionic and act like the Bills are the new Sabres, and the new head coach will instantly win 11+ games again and it will all be forgotten.

    A man can dream😍

    When you’ve made your mind up, you latch on to things that support your beliefs…..whether they actually help your point, or not.  Please don’t look so closely at the facts, because it sounds good and that’s all we want to know. 

     

    McD isn’t just losing to a group of middling HC’s that happened to make the playoffs. He’s mostly losing to a 1st ballot HOF coach with a 1st ballot HOF QB. It’s his job to beat them, but let’s not pretend it’s an easy task. I think he gets over the hump eventually, but we’ll have to wait and see. 

    We don’t HAVE to wait and see….. Pegula chooses to and a bunch of you are cool with it.

    How many attempts does McDermott get to try to beat Andy Reid one time in the postseason?

    A Million six🤔

    I think the eventual downfall of the NFL will be either CTE or gambling. The ads are plastered literally everywhere and impossible to escape. And they make it so much easier than in the past because now you can wager your entire life savings in a matter of minutes within the comfort of your home. Before it was a process so you had time to think about what you were doing.
     

    It’s a huge exploitation of the fan base IMO. One of the most (if not THE most) dangerous addictions you can have, I’ve actually known a couple people who ended their lives due to losing insane amounts of money. The fact that the NFL is so heavily in bed with alcohol & gambling companies sickens me. It’s a slap in the face to the hardworking fans who line their pockets. 

    So I stand by my opinion. Gambling and by default GREED is going to ruin this once great sport. What’s sad is it’s going on in all levels so it’s not like I can switch to college football. I know shady stuff has been happening in pro sports since the 1919 World Series, but I believe the problem is much more rampant. What’s to stop a referee from throwing a couple flags to affect the point spread? There are BILLIONS at stake for these companies. It makes collusion even more likely between them and the NFL. 


     

     

    It isn’t the NFL

    It’s corporate greed. It is the commodification of every last aspect of our “society”.
    “ The ads are plasters literally everywhere “…… It is impossible to watch anything on tv without having a drug for the most arcane malady hawked to you, followed by a fast food commercial that probably leads to the necessity of the aforementioned drug….

    But, I whole heartedly agree that it’s sad. For me, it’s the suspicion it gives me after every blown or spurious call by the refs.

    But, here we are, on a fan thread, obsessing about our team daily….. 

    A captive audience

    I actually think the opposite. Having JA should cost you points because Josh Allen will Josh Allen regardless. Which is why I think Brian Billick was a stinking genius and best coach on the planet at the time he won a Super Bowl with Trent Dilfer (defense aside). 

    At least 75% posters on here don’t seem to get this. 
    No Josh Allen = .500-.600 coaching record for McD

    Also this doesn't meet the threshold for me to consider it "heartbreaking".  It's sad but cmon, guy made 270M, won a super bowl and SB MVP, and is going to be in the HOF.  I'd trade the use of my right arm for the bills to do that, and i don't even play for them.  

    Hard disagree.

    Pain sucks!!!!

    Living with pain sucks!!!!

    No amount of money, fame or accolades is worth that.

    Like that he’s being candid on Rousseau and not giving us all a stock response.

    Cue/ One really good game early….. then he will disappear for a while🤷‍♂️

    The Greg Rousseau comments are a bit odd.  Did someone ask him what Greg needs to improve upon, or was that just offered up out of the blue>?  

    How about getting Double Digit sacks….that’d be nice

    I brag about Spencer brown all the time. More than anyone but Josh. Dawkins quite a bit too. Those guys are so much fun. 
     

    yes Josh has been bailing out the offense but the defense can’t directly be bailed out by Josh. Hence the investment. 

    I get the investment 

    I don’t think we need more Municipal Bonds and Money Market index funds though

  9.    A hundred posters on here have been crowing for a year about all the cap space and draft picks and the front office rebuilding this team this year…… and” Watch out” we will be a force to be reckoned with.

       I still only see Josh ( HOF) and Cook and Shakir ( Very good) as the only guys on O to brag about. Here come the comments about points scored. Followed by comments about not scoring on the last possession of the season the last two years as if it’s Josh’s fault😒.

        Hopefully Hairston and Jackson are hits but the rest of them?????

        I’m reading Top 5 D and not just statistically?

        All I see is more of the same. Wanna be wrong. Don’t think I am.
