So I wonder...how does Dunne feel about the KC victory? On one hand, I've heard he is supposedly a Bills fan. In which case he should feel pretty good. On the other hand, the Bills won despite Dunne's hatchet job. The McDermott expose proved to be a non-factor to the players. The four year old 9/11 quote and other interview gotchas didn't sway the needle. Even the resulting Saturday Night Live hit on McDermott was met with meh response. (that show has sucked for decades--since Farley and Spade left) Dunne.. I wonder how many new subscribers he got.

I hate to break it to you: the Bills roster is not very good. The preseason talking heads unrealistic praise for the Bills didn't do fans any favors.

...and another.

Wow. I slipped on black ice once and cracked my head pretty hard on the pavement. I didn't do anything about it. If it happens again, I am going to the ER.

Beat the Bruins at their home, then lose at home to the .500-ish Canadiens. This team is wildly inconsistent game to game. You never know which Sabres you're going to get. That inconsistency indicates a coaching problem. It's Granato's job to prepare the team and press whatever buttons are needed to get them on the ice ready to play. He's not fulfilling the basics of his job description.

Most private security types are OK. But some, like this Disandro, are over-officious jerks, to steal a phrase from Marv Levy. The dude was way over the line interacting with players on the field. His punishment is very light for the crime. He should be totally suspended for 1 or more games, none of this traveling with the team BS.

I don't get this forum's love for Daboll as Bills HC. He has a unproven record as HC. His OC success could be attributable to luck of the draw--having Josh Allen as QB. At this point in his career, he's a posterboy for the Peter Principle, which is:

Yep. For your jollies, I read your post again. You said: Amok isn't your words, but the bolded passages and your whole post pose McDermott as running amok. I fall back on my original critique of your fuzzy words "from all accounts" and "if allegations are true" and my noting you got the "made him Czar" part wrong.

I look forward to the contrarian feedback from others--people who believe McDermott has run amok with total control of the Bills organization.

The foundation was set in 2017 when both were hired. There isn't even close to enough indicators to suggest that anything has changed since then and that McDermott has morphed into a fully controlling Czar. You do know a "Czar" would run both the coaching side and personnel side? Anyone who thinks that Beane is subordinate to McDermott just isn't paying attention. Or they are seeing just the things that support their world view.

"from all accounts" and "if allegations are true" You are not big on discussing verifiable facts, I see. Not even the "made him czar" comment is verifiable. It is actually refuted: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/new-bills-gm-brandon-beane-press-conference-sean-mcdermott-carolina-panthers/w5dfu8tam8y51jd21selm3spg

Truth. When he was on the sidelines, Daboll used to blow up at Josh Allen. It's no coincidence that Josh's breakout happened when Daboll moved to the booth. And the conniption Daboll had when Tyrod Taylor called the wrong play against the Bills... I thought he was going to have a stroke.

On my Facebook, 2 hours ago, The Buffalo News: Sean McDermott says support from Bills players was 'clear and much appreciated' In interviews across the locker room, Bills players from veterans to rookies voiced their support of McDermott on Friday, saying the meeting went well. Safety Micah Hyde, who spoke up in the meeting to back McDermott, was adamant that it was a non-issue. That shoots down the narrative popular with some--that he has lost the locker room. I don't know if this link will work: https://buffalonews.com/sports/bills/sean-mcdermott-says-support-from-bills-players-was-clear-and-much-appreciated/article_ce393a6c-95ee-11ee-8ef2-cf6d8ef748f6.html

The McDermott 9/11 speech was four years ago. How many of you here can be found not saying something stupid the past four years?

....as long as he isn't the GM.

15 pages of posts in 5 hours. Tyler Dunne accomplished his mission of generating clicks. Three cheers for un-named sources!

The Bills and the Sabres have me feeling blue. The Bills could pull me out with a win this weekend. There's always the Buffalo Bandits or RIT hockey if you want to follow a good team.

I Googled. He's probably earning $20,600 per week on the practice squad. Good work if you can find it.

Yeah. The Special Teams coach, Smiley, is in over his head. He doesn't have the pedigree to be at this level in the NFL.

I remember Steve Tasker predicting them to go all the way.. because of "all the talent on the roster" "Talent" ha ha.

"It’s Chiefs week - and the season is on the line" That's the understatement of the year. @ Chiefs COWBOYS @ Chargers PATRIOTS @ Dolphins We're flirting with having a losing season.

What about Stefon Diggs? Why wasn't he in the game for some third down situations against Philadelphia? He is 30 years old. It's common to lose a step about 31 or 32. There are some exceptions.

Same here. It's pretty depressing. Who thought the Bills would be at .500 and flirting with a losing season.. The Bandits are champions and fun to watch, too bad their TV presence is nil, I'm not going in person.

Captains of Industry? Heh. The point I was leading to: Johnson, Davis, Tepper, Haslam are all running teams that are Class A Clown Shows. They are running their teams into the dirt. You call them qualified, and Kim unqualified? Thanks for the Saturday morning funnies.
