If nothing else, it forces KC to spend time and build in a contingency in their game plan in the event Gabe is called up to the 53.

Time for the conspiracy theory angle: Beane and McD realize they backed themselves into a corner. They have mismanaged the salary cap and yes, Jeremy White was right, failed to get a playmaker WR. Given the current roster, they realize that, lacking cap space or any serious cap magic, they know they can’t get that difference making WR or DT to get the Bills a SB win this year. So, use the flood of injuries as an excuse and quietly play for a 2026 reload. We all know how Beane loves his cupboard of draft picks and thinks he is always smarter than the rest of the League in drafting for players in Round 1. He will fix everything “next year”. Let’s see how this plays out if we get handed our heads by KC this weekend. Happy Halloween!

Ask us again after the bye week is over. If Beane is able to somehow get us the WR we need, it may allow the Offense to carry the Defense, at least into the early playoff rounds. The defense has multiple issues and, due to only a little over $2M in cap space left, not sure we have the ammunition to fix it and the offense. Not much magic left to use to create meaningful cap space for a big difference maker. Then, add in the arrogance of McDermott and Brady thinking all is well, ouch. Babich still around, double ouch.

Sullivan had his issues, for sure. But at least he had the chops to ask the Bills brain trust the tough questions. Nobody in the Upstate NY media, other than Jeremy White, has the coconuts to do so.

And McDermott coached exactly like James Franklin does.

I tried to get into watching the CFL to get my football fix during the summer, but the two plays & punt and then endless TV timeouts killed me. The NFL TV timeouts are bad enough, but this takes it to the next level. Otherwise, the other differences in the CFL game make it unique in it's own right and fun to watch. I guess the CFL needs the added TV revenue stream to survive.

Bring Poyer in on a no-guarantee vet minimum deal and see what he has left. Let BB/McD decide if what he has is better than what we have. The NFL is a brutal business and we are close to the prize to bring him back just for sentimental reasons.

I guess Beane listens to WGR's other self-proclaimed expert - Mike Schopp, the Fantasy Football god. Bush League radio covering a Major League sports team.

Brandon Beane says he didn't get your call of advice before the Draft and had to use his best judgment instead. As many others have stated, the games don't start until September. Let it play out.

Excellent move. Now I can haul out and use all of my 90's jerseys and gear that my wife keeps yelling at me to donate to Goodwill!

It will be interesting to see the guaranteed amount. I wonder if his agent pushed signing now vs. risking the potential of additional concussions in his renewal year and the impact that would have on free agency. The financial risk of additional concussions now resides with Bills vs. Benford.

Ted Washington approves!. 👍

They are employed by the Bills, what do you expect? Would you have the chops to say something particularly bad about your employer over the radio/social media, knowing it may get you canned?

Save your post in your files. It will save your from having to retype the same thing next year and every other year McDermott is here as HC. Unfortunately, we will continue to always be one of the 31, unless some tough decisions are made.

Yeah, and Ralph "hurt" the fans when he purposely drafted the lease that makes it pretty much financially impossible to move the team for 30+ years. If the Bills moved, do you think the NFL, or anybody outside Western New York would demand a new franchise be placed in Buffalo?

I wonder if Belichick would be willing to give McDermott a copy of the chapter from his bible that discusses 'Head Coach Game Management Skills".

Here in Detroit the Lions fans are salivating. Goff and company will hang 50 on the Bills.

If the Bills were in need of hiring a new GM and HC would you be comfortable with Terry Pegula making these decisions on his own? The "good" owners know their limitations and bring in the experts with the right skills to help in these cases. Unfortunately, a majority of the NFL owners rely on the egos and make these calls on their own. Kudos to Pegula for not being one of them.

The bigger question is - Sean McDermott: Myth or Allen

I took my son to his first Bills game when he was 5 years old. When we got home my wife asked him what he liked best about the game. His response was "Mom, they were peeing in the sink in the restroom". This is our equivalent of The Masters, " a tradition like no other"!

I knew my parents were wrong when they told me studying hard and getting good grades was more important than concentrating on sports in school.

Our future would be better if the damn undefeated Vikings would start self-destructing. The 2025 2nd round pick we got for moving Diggs (Minnesota via Houston) is falling lower every week they keep winning.

You are right on point. What makes it more frustrating is missed tackles have been an issue for the Bills teams for much of McDermott's time in Buffalo. It needs to improve before playing KC and the other heavy hitters on the schedule.

Be careful what you wish for. Bates started out strong but, per the Detroit media out here, has hit a "brick wall" and is struggling big time. Kickers &%#^*!

KC calls Beane and offers, even up, Butker for Bass. Does BBB make the trade?
