I don’t think Hamlin is going from 15x inactive to our starting SS. Bills did him an amazing solid guaranteeing his contract and keeping him on roster to win COTY. I don’t think he’s back next year TBH, in the NFL in general. Benford has elite SS written all over him.

Benford I think is guaranteed, he’s replacing Poyer at SS. A low key guy I’d love to see get a shot at FS is Elam. I know his stats, 1 missed tackles in his last 8 games dating back to last year. What I don’t know is the film, if he shys away from contact or if he’s a willing tackler. My memory wants to say he’s willing. It would give us an elite athlete at Safety, something we’ve desperately needed this season. Just thoughts!

Can we talk about Spencer Brown’s improvement this year? If he can repeat (or improve upon) it next year, he’s definitely getting an extension. Who would have thought we would ever say that? Kromer has done a phenomenal job with this OL. Yea but not every single thread needs to be a whine tour. OP wrote a thread about some major positives from this year from a player development standpoint, nothing wrong with talking and celebrating them.

Honestly I think I agree with everything you said. I even believe next year’s starting safety duo is already on the roster.

38-0 Buffalo. McD carried off the field on the shoulders of his players.

We did 8 straight last year I think.

I like how there a Bills fans hoping we lose 😂 Lets do this!

I think teams/GMs have finally got smart and put it in contracts.

Josh Allen and this roster had been elite during 2018-2019 seasons? Ugh, I need to be better 😉

Name one person, real life or MB, that is willing to give McD anything beyond 2024? I haven’t seen anything. McD hasn’t had an elite QB, let alone elite roster, for 7 years. Tyrod, Rookie Josh, and Sophomore Josh were not Super Bowl level. Neither was the team. It’s been 3.5 seasons. Does the next coach get 3.5 before everyone is demanding he’s fired? Just curious.

I will also make the bold claim that in 5 weeks time a large amount of this MB and Bills fans in general will want Joe Brady as the next HC.

Truth is it’s a crap shoot. There are a lot of TBD-born narratives about McD around here that a large chunk of the masses accept as factual, that actually have very little supportive data. As for future coaches, I doubt we pay JH the amount it would take to pry him away, and firing McD for an unproven, rookie OC is foolish. Ben Johnson is the only intriguing name out there but he is a little green still. McD has had elite QB play for 3.5 seasons, so yes he should have made a SB by now by the standards established on this message board. Question is, will we give the next guy 3 seasons as well?

Glad to see some articles mentioning that no one has been able to confirm that the person who texted the TV station was in fact the GF. Also, Texas can pursue charges even if she goes back on the her statement. https://www.wivb.com/sports/buffalo-bills/texas-attorney-says-von-miller-investigation-will-continue-even-if-alleged-victim-recants/amp/

Beat me to it!

I’m looking for the side door ‘Edmunds sucked’ thread

Probably time to lock this thread until something meaningful happens.. 😬

I think the feelings/opinions of the core players would play a big role.

Honestly I don’t think this is true at all. Maybe a few dipshits here, but the vast majority would want him released if he’s guilty.

Rivera had nothing to do with that, that was the player/agent/GM I would believe that there is 0% chance he is fired in season. To fire McD in season means you need to find someone to be HC and find someone to be the DC. Then find someone to man the positions that were abandoned to fill the vacancies.

Well said. Von is very likely her livelihood and financial security. That’s a very toxic dynamic.

Speak with police and medical staff that was on scene, if they can. Even if a DV victim is changing her story, doesn’t mean it was a lie. Remember, there is a court document stating her injuries. That alone is likely enough.

Depends if he’s suspended under the NFLs Personal Conduct Policy. If he is, it voids his 2024 guarantees and the team saves 17m. If the NFL doesn’t but the Bills investigation shows he did (or likely did) assault her, they would have to eat his contract.

If she doesn’t press charges, the case gets dropped and he very likely isn’t suspended under the NFLs PCP. This all shouldn’t stop the Bills from doing a thorough investigation into these allegations and eating the dead cap if it comes to that. Some things are more important than football, I don’t want ANY woman beaters on this team, dead cap be damned.
