Nothing for the late hit on Allen...

Interesting to me that people on this board hold Zack Taylor in higher regard than McD....

Ok everyone: what is the one weird Bills themed collection that you have? Bills Little People? Hats? Gnomes? 👀 Bobble-heads? Spill this is a judgement free zone. Sort of.

Question: Does our conservative, short game focus potentially cause these stats to be misleading?

I felt like this statement was false, but it's actually true: Groots Cap Hit Ranks 2027 - 23m: 14th in the NFL 2028 - 24m: 9th in NFL 2029 - 25m: 6th in NFL Don't be put off by him being a top 10 ranked paid DE either. Top guys are making 40, 50, even 60m, so Groots rankings will fall as new contracts and extensions are done. He would need to make around 30m a year to enter the top 5, even in 2025. Groot is also no slug. He's a 'Robin' pass rusher (needs a Batman) but as a run defender, he's Superman. Easily one of the best in the NFL.

Obviously if DS was like "Yes! See you Monday!' then changed his mind after they released JI, that's a different story.

Yea this is a pretty bad fumble. I know JI was nothing special defensively, but he could hold down the CB role and is a real good 'teamer. Lost him for potentially nothing.

He has a 16% missed tackle rate and allowing 75% completions. This isn't a loss. Shocked Beane even tried.

Tre, Bishop, Benford, and Lewis have completion percentages under 60% this season, Hairston is under 50%.

Probably deserves it's own thread: Tre White hasn't allowed more than 2 catches or a completion percentage of more than 50% since October 5th. Give that man his flowers.

Big Baller Beane II: Redemption

For anyone wondering: I'm aware Mitch Biski is a FA over 30. I'm also aware no one cares lol Edit x2 Crap, Phillips and Poyer.

To actually answer OP's question: I'd be sad, honestly. I like McD as a human and think he's a rock solid B+ coach, who's been an A- before. I completely acknowledge that there isn't much left in the "what else he can try" bucket. Do not fire him until there is an A-level coaching candidate available, though. I will stand by that. I'll take Year 9 over Tomlin, McDaniels, or Daboll. The months/weeks in-between McD and his replacement will honestly be pretty terrifying, but I'm sure we will find ourselves supporting whoever gets hired regardless of who it is. Like Tomlin, McDaniels, or Daboll.

Added!

Totally fair, should've put that as an option as well. I mean we only have one so far 🤣
