With 9 picks in the upcoming draft, use one of the day-3 choices and get the best punter available if there's one that is seen as an upgrade over Haack or other available FA's. Would love to have a punter who can hang it high to give the Bills' defenders an opportunity to down it inside the 20 consistently. Getting sick of net gains of 30 yards with touchbacks following punts.

Yoko was heavily into numerology. She often gave John advise on what to do and where to go based on certain numbers and tarot card readings. So, how'd that work out?

I haven't gotten past page 2, but that was enough to see there's a lot of support for the projected WR pick. I don't expect he'd contribute much in 2022, unless maybe towards the end of the season. Even then, after missing all of training camp and valuable reps, there's no guarantee he'd have any impact or be on the active roster. The Bills should be preparing to compete for a super bowl again in 2022. Personally, I'd rather they find a player who can contribute immediately (cornerback?) or on the O-line so they can protect the quarter billion-dollar investment.

Sounds like the name for a breakfast cereal

Professional sports is going overboard with names guaranteed to not offend any group. First, the Cleveland Guardians and now the Washington Commanders? Just when I thought Kraken was the worst possible team name. So, is it Dustmop or Matty the Mod who will be the team mascot for the Commanders? If you're under 35 years old and didn't grow up with Buffalo children's programming, you probably have no idea what this is all about. Sorry.

Morning? It was an after-school show.

The idea of rushing 2 is intriguing when time is not on their side. If Mahomes were to burn precious seconds running around or standing like a statue waiting for an open receiver, I can see how the clock could have ticked down to 5 seconds (or less) or Mahomes getting antsy may have fired into a crowd. I believe Frazier/McD or any other coach involved in the final 13 seconds completely forgot that sideline passes weren't the only option for an offense with timeouts. Or, did one of the players blow an assignment, leaving the middle uncovered?

They had the advantage of seeing where the Bills failed on defense and planned accordingly.

On the plus side, most have been vaccinated for Covid 2919, traffic congestion minimized due to quick exits by tailgaters who arrived in flying cars, Keith Richards playing halftime show,

Not worried about it. Maybe some new ideas would freshen up the O. No matter who ends up as coordinator, it all comes down to execution. As smart as Josh is, wouldn’t mind see them speed up the pace and have him call his own plays similar to what Kelly did.

This is a team that is superbowl-ready. They were a special teams gaffe and a winnable home game away from being in the superbowl. As is always the case, there will be a few tweaks in the offseason. But the core of the team is here. But, we're not at the beginning of a rebuild, or even midway through one. We're not searching for our QB. We not a bottom 5 defense that needs a complete overhaul. This is not the time to experiment with first-time coordinators. My hope is that if Dabol and/or Frazier move on, those positions are filled by proven coaches who've had success as coordinators. Most likely, former NFL head coaches who should have stayed coordinators. The one exception might be a rising star in the defensive coaching ranks that McDermott take under his wing.

The Bills allowed the fewest points-against in the entire NFL. They had 3rd highest ‘points for’. Yeah, probably a good time to get some position coach the opportunity move up and see if they can get the Bills to the promised land.

The sentiment from a lot of responders to this inquiry seems to be that McDermott is on the bubble. Y'all are delusional. After 17 years with no playoff appearances, the Bills have played in 7, winning 3, and just barely losing 2. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get to a Superbowl, let alone win it? When's the last time past winning coaches Pete Carroll, Mike Tomlin, John Harbaugh, or Sean Payton got to the big game? How many teams haven't been to a conference final in several years? Dallas hasn't been in one since 1996. Miami hasn't won a conference title since 1985. Other than good coaching and fundamentals, so many things have to fall into place: player attrition, health/injury, and sometimes a little luck. As we know too well, one win or loss can be the difference between home or away. The first couple years the Bills were in rebuild mode - jettisoning overpaid and under-productive players and bringing in a new platoon, including a rookie QB in 2018. Because some of you expected the Bills to just waltz into the superbowl, you're disappointed or angered. Get over it. By any measure of NFL coaching, McDermott has been damn successful and I expect Sean and Josh will bring a championship to Buffalo before it's all over.

And there’s good old # 49 - Johnny on the Spot. Mr. First Down.

I think KC is superior to Cinci, but it’s entirely possible they could be the victims of a letdown after blowing their wad in the divisional round. The Bills are out. I’ve got no dog in the fight, but after enduring years of futility in Detroit, would be nice to see Stafford get a Championship.

I think a lot may depend on who the DC is going forward. If Frazier goes, McDermott could opt for a coordinator with a more aggressive approach with regard to the front 7. Whatever is decided, it’s a certainty that the weak run defense has to be addressed. Edmunds is a liability defending the run.

Touch passes, putting a little arc on them when necessary, and protecting the ball.

In the facial hair department, he’s Ryan Fitzpatrick compared to Mahomes.

I don’t know when, why, or who started this whole ‘unicorn’ thing, but can we just stop it already. 😏

Yeah, I'm reading this wondering if I had one of those UFO missing time experiences.

No, I didn't open the link. The knee-jerk reaction to fire someone is so unnecessary. There were 2 really good teams out there. One of them had to win and one had to lose. it's that simple. This is the same coaching staff and players (mostly) that won 24 regular season and 3 playoff games over the past 2 years. Not too long ago, some of us would have given a left nut for those results. The Bills were somewhat hamstrung by a record number of extreme-weather games that likely had an effect on the high-powered passing game that is the Bills' bread and butter. One more win from a regular season game and the divisional contest and probably the AFC Championship games go through Highmark Stadium. If that kickoff in the final seconds of overtime had been squibbed and subsequently returned to the Bills' 45, Mahomes would only need around 5 seconds and 20 yards to be in FG range. Different scenario, same results, and the same people now screaming for coaching changes would be all over them for not kicking into the end zone. I think the big mistake from our coaching staff (assumed) is that they played the final 13 seconds somehow forgetting the Chiefs still had timeouts. The middle of the field was an option that wouldn't have been there without the TOs. After numerous 7-9, 8-8 seasons, we're getting a little spoiled. We have the QB we dreamed of having during the drought. The future is bright. In the words of Tom Petty, the waiting is the hardest part.

It’s been over 30 years now, but I miss the mid-afternoon (eastern time zone) super bowl starts. They used to kickoff at 2:30 or 3pm Sunday night games with extended halftime shows go until almost 11pm and we still have to work in the morning. Lousy time for a party for us folks in the east. If it’s got to be a prime time game, I wish it could be Saturday, but I know that will never happen.

Somebody, anybody- as long as they come from the Carolina Panthers.
