I do too.

Good depth, still young, has potential at G and C.

If your expectations as a fan is Super Bowl or bust, you’ll be miserable. That mindset with the Steelers has 2 good years and 18 failures with a HOF coach. We are a great team, with an elite QB, and a very good coach. Enjoy this time, because you will miss it one day.

Dude is a football junkie, love it

Not to mention the Bills very likely could sign a guy who is currently a NB on another team.

They’ll be a bust if they need any developmental time whatsoever soooo

INTERESTING INFORMATION INSIDE

I know what you’re saying and where you are coming from, but I don’t believe LF is the fall guy to save his own job. LF came up with the game plans, play calls, not McD. McD has taken over playcalling numerous times over the last 6 years, especially in the beginning, but he’s made it clear he wants to be involved with the offense and defense as a balanced HC while his coordinators run both squads. We’ve heard McD say “it starts with me” over and over again. No one outside this MB things McD is micromanaging the defense as the “real” DC or passing blame. Unless this is truly a decision made by LF (and McDs comments make me doubt that), I think McD did what a HC is supposed to do and made a very difficult call. Moving on from a top-5 defensive coordinator will bring backlash, especially given the current social landscape of the country. LF simply isn’t good enough when it matters and the defensive performance in elimination games has been bad enough that warrant a change. I believe this team respects LF a great deal and the two sides have done each other a favor. I doubt the defense will be elite in 2023, I am curious to see if they are more clutch though.

A mentality change on the defense is probably the main thing they need. It was always a finesse defense with LF. I’m excited for next year.

Are you saying they were not jacked up to play the other games?

I mean he’s come out and would talk about competition and stuff like that. Maybe they think a WR coach change is what Davis needs. I wouldn’t disagree.

Racing drunk on top of that. We’ve all raced.

DUI and someone died? Bye-bye NFL career

Hyde: At 32 and coming off a serious injury, would get us a 6th, maybe. Ed: I agree if the compensation is right. AJE: Disagree, he actually had a nice season and stepped up when Avon went down. Morse: Disagree-ish, that opens another hole with a weak OL FA class. Reggie - Great FB, no not cut just use him. Dawkins - Decent chance he’s restructured Tre - Wasn’t he already restructured once? That’s just kicking guaranteed money down the line. Brown - Has a long way to go to earn that extension. Hynes - Very possible his deal is restructured McK - Agree, won’t be right away Neal - I’d be surprised Restructuring Allen and Von’s deals are almost guaranteed.

Sam Darnold makes a ton of sense.

Not only that, what happened last year? Defensive collapse. Year before? Defensive collapse. Bills defense allowed 20+ first downs and recorded 0 takeaways in those 3 games. The defensive gameplan was nearly “bend but don’t break” and see if the QB will make a mistake. Patrick Mahommes and Joe Burrow. Great idea. It was death by 1000 cuts.

I’ve been on the Taron Train too! Woo woo!

McD has also proven to be a significantly better play caller

Joe B claims the team absolutely loves him.

I wouldn’t hate it, he won’t get a starting job

Ron Rivera?

Historically poorly, horrible defensive gamelans

If they do a good job, LF may return as a senior defensive advisor or something. If the defense sucks without him, we can easily put him back at DC.

I agree, you are still signing him based off his age and potential to a degree. Not that he isn’ta good LB, because he is.
