  1. That's a very bizarre set of logic. I'm extremely unsatisfied with McDermott and the results he's brought. To invent a scenario where an offensive coach had the same results, and say, "just as good" doesn't make any sense. I'd want that offensive guy gone too. The plan isn't to hire an underachieving offensive mind - it's to hire a great one. I was against the McDermott hire from the beginning because of his defensive leanings, outdated scheme, and a lack of being an elite coordinator. Now, maybe he turned out to be a great hire for what we needed at the time, but I've seen enough of him on Sundays to know that he isn't at the level of Championship-tier coaches. He doesn't resemble Belichick, Reid, Pederson, McVay or guys on the cusp like Siriani and Shananhan. Never, NEVER, have I gone into a game and thought, McDermott is going to out maneuver the other team today - the Coach is going to win this one. If you want to win it all, I think you need a coach that can do that, even if he doesn't have to. That, or you need a lot of luck to swing your way.
  2. My opinion of his past results would be the exact same, but I might be more hopeful than I am about future results. I'm pretty well resigned that he's peaked.
  3. Given you struggle with "whose", not sure this is the litmus test.
  4. The GOAT is still active, so it's silly to take anyone but him. Belichick all day long.
  5. Doesn't make a player a "piece of *****". There are a lot of players over the years that have missed a practice, and I don't recall anywhere near the level of vitriol on display here.
  6. So does Diggs. We're talking about one pracitice, my dude. Diggs has never given less than 100% on the field.
  7. why is Diggs a POS and how has Allen done "everything right" when Diggs hasn't?
  8. you have no idea why he isn't there, so stop assuming things based on zero information. It makes you look like a clown.
  9. It's my response to you being a child about it. You seem to have some weird agenda with trashing him despite him being a top 5 player at his position and putting together the best receiving seasons in Bills history. I don't give a ***** about a 3 day minicamp in early June. I just hope the dude is ok. If he misses time in September, I'll be concerned about it.
  10. if he showed up for his medical yesterday but not today, maybe it's related to that.
  11. I didn't conveniently forget anything. He injured his ankle before week 2 at practice, hence the missed week 2 game. Week 3 he would go on to post his biggest game of the season. My numbers hold up even considering that he didn't even play week 2.
  12. It might be good season stats if you spread them out over a full season. Unfortunately Davis had 3 of his top 4 games in the first 6 weeks of the season where he also had 57% of his TDs and 46% of his yards. He wasn't there when we needed him.
  13. Oof, not good that he's following this Saladino quack.
  14. history says that a great season would look like 45 catches for 500 yards and 4-5 TDs. If I were pressed to take a specific line I'd say 42/450/4
  15. Blast from the past! It wasn't Age of Empires, but it was a good one.
  16. The point of trading for him (from McD's perspective) is that they acquired the best returner in the league for a 5th round pick. Now, we all know (as does Beane) that he's much more than that, but despite having a bare cupboard last year when it came to receiving options, McD/Dorsey refused to integrate him on offense. Now they have a RB room overflowing with mediocre talent. if Murray makes the roster and is active on game days (which I think is unlikely) Hines might be lucky to see 20 touches on the year. There's no room for him on offense anymore (barring injury), even if he has talents no one else has, and he won't be in enough packages to disguise his usage. They didn't even use Cook to his strengths as a receiver out of the backfield. I have absolutely 0 expectation they'll do so with Hines. Ford should backup Jones as the #1 1-tech. Jones was amazing last year, but when he got banged up down the stretch it exposed Settle and the rest of the D-line suffered.
  17. That's pretty disingenuous to the role he had there. He filled a role that many change of pace backs do as a gadget player, receiver, returner, and outside rusher. In 2020 he had 1200 combined yards and 8 tds. In 2021 he had 825/3. In 2022 he destroyed his career best as a returner with over 700 yards and 2 tds, but had -3 yards rushing as a bill (career low) and 53 yards receiving (career low). He's one of the fastest players int he league and we waste him on special teams.
  18. I think the Jets are this year's Broncos. A-Aron is washed.
  19. Because Beane likes him and he's a great returner. This isn't the first time coach and GM have been on a different page. Did you not listen to Beane's presser on the topic? The reference to not liking him is giving him virtually no offensive opportunities when he played a critical offensive role for Indy and has been very good at that role thus far in his career. His stint as a Bill has been the worst stretch of his career production wise and it all comes down to extremely limited usage and poor plays when they do use him.
  20. McD & Dorsey don't like Hines. If his career low usage last year wasn't a clue, not sure what is. He'll play out this year and then move on. Bates was probably our best lineman last year and he's on a cheap deal. I don't see it likely that a rookie takes his spot unless they plan to trade him. Not sure why it's interesting that Kincaid is slotted at TE2. Is that not his role? Klein at MLB is also not a surprise at this time. He's played the role and is the veteran int he room. Maybe he doesn't even make the team, but until someone takes the job, it's his to lose. Elam at #2 should also be a no-brainer.
  21. You come off sounding jaded and a behind the times here. The bold backs it up. A top tier sound system absolutely can reproduce live music experiences. That's why people spend tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars on audio equipment. I love live music, but I can go to a concert or a movie theater in my living room any day of the week I prefer the best experience possible. So give all that "virtual crap" over watching the game 100 yards away through a set of binoculars any day. I get in a live game once every 5-10 years and that's more than plenty. I'll save the live sports for a minor league baseball game.
  22. They'll be lucky to make a wild card. They won some impressive games, but they still gave up 27 unanswered to LA and got runover by some truly awful teams. A strong finish to the season is a guarantee of nothing. They're still very much the Jags.
