I know what I would choose

Lol…earned!

Urban meter got what like 22 million after failing and getting fired. Hc contracts are typically guaranteed. Or he can grind out a mil per year not guaranteed as an OC. Forget about the challenge and whatnot from a competitive stand point. The money is tough to turn down. I know you are saying pay him more but are we talking same numbers as NY will offer? Wait til the offense struggles in a game next year. The next OC better have a thick skin

My main point is that KC plays in Super Bowls and up til now the Bills do not so for a FA who "wants a Super Bowl", KC would be first choice. So from a first dibs perspective, I think they are at least 2nd there. Yes I was saying they have more cap space, you are looking a little deeper and saying they have more holes, maybe that is true. Neither team is in a great cap condition which is expected for great teams.

Number one is wide right. 13 seconds is two right now but had similar feelings after MCM and Ronnie Harmon drop. all of these were close that were swayed by someone not doing their job. MCM it was refs and kick coverage. 13 seconds is all coaching to me. wide right should have been a blowout but the team did not prepare like they should have which is inexcuseable. They were up partying during the week. Tasker recently admitted that on OBL. There was also clock management issues in that game. But if the players did their job and showed up it would have been a Lombardi

Second dibs after KC you mean. They are I. Better cap shape than we are

Imagine if the Bills won the toss, went and scored a TD. This would have been 2 times in 4 years it happened to KC, the calls to "fix" it would be even louder.

On the Kelce play, they could have done the everyone hold the WR thing to waste some time and take a 5 yard penalty which would have left them with one play. I think McD probably thought that was bush league but they are probably getting ready for Cinci if they did it.

I think McDermott knows it was on him/coaching. Not that it does anything, the coaching screwed the pooch, its hard to accept

You wont pay for a newspaper but you think a bunch of tax payers or others should pay extra billions so you can have your Christmas gift downtown?

I find this surprising but not sure it affects much. I remember when Tanneyhill was a rookie on Hard Knocks......they were explain to him divisions and conferences and how the NFL is structured. He has NO CLUE. At one point they were talking about how the CHargers would be good that year and he was not sure if they were AFC/NFC or in his division.

I love how everyone wants the top 6 guys....you know the ones that are likely to get franchised. Oh yeah and the Bills cannot afford a 28 million dollar receiver.

This is stupid

I kind of like the idea of a guy like McKinnon...a fast RB who has some WR characteristics or a fast WR who has some RB characteristics. I think speed on offense should be a priority especially if McKenzie is not back. I think a guy like Ridley would do ok but is not worth the cap required. There are other more pressing needs.

There is a fascination with that position..I think just because of Fantasy Football. When it came down to it did the Bills have a hard time finding people to throw to? I would say no. The mix will change for next year, Sanders will likely not be resigned, I bet Beasley is a cap cut and Mckenzie is a FA. So they will need to do something.

Both had coaching blunders....the comparisons stop there though. One was monumental and in addition to coaching, players choked for Atlanta. You can find many other games where some bad calls flipped a close game.

I would have tried the corner kick to the 3 yard line they have done all year. But they were not allowing kickoff returns in that game. Not just in that situation but all day. I assume they were concerned with their speed. I did not agree with that but I can accept it. The whole prevent defense let them have 20 yards for two plays I cannot wrap my head around what they were thinking. they could have done the everyone hold on the kelce play and would have been forced i to a Hail Mary

How do you know what I think it means? You watched every single snap of every game, great me too and lots of fans. Your eye test means what exactly?

Well then stand under the tree and grab one for us ok? Before NE gets him.....dont move til you get one.

I have a different view. They had a great season. They had a great game in KC earlier in the season. They got some stops yesterday but struggled on 3rd downs and got worn out. The players did enough to win the game, if they just called those last two plays with 13 seconds left better we would be talking about playing the Bengals right now. Not saying they cannot make some kind of incremental improvement but the play calls in certain situations was the problem and I think that can be imrpoved.

Which direction can they go from first in most statistical categories?

If you want McDermott gone you are totally insane. To think coaches cannot make mistakes/evaluate themselves/improve is awful. I cannot explain the defense they called with 13 seconds left but his body of work outweighs the negative by a lot. He has proven he can change his philosophy on 4th downs, he will learn from this. We all wish he and the rest of the staff were better prepared for this situation. There are literally thousands of situations to be prepared for so maybe this forces them to do some additional homework/planning. We have a good organization, blowing it up would be super dumb.

He also tweeted he was done for the year when he got benched. Right now he is a FA, we can all speculate what he really means but I would think it is possible he could be back. Unless the Bills have told him we are moving on which I dont think we have seen.

Agree, but there will be some other holes, on DL, Obada, Phillips, Butler, Hughes and Addison are FA's. Gotta see how Free Agency falls out. If you can find a Debo Samuel-ish guy that would be awesome in this offense.

The reality is the Chiefs are going to their 4th straight AFC C game and probably 3rd straight SB. The Bills are a bump on their way to a couple of those so until you beat them in the playoffs and win your own SB, you wont be as good. Allen will also be judged second for the same reason until he wins the whole thing, it is just how it is. We don't need moral victories, its time to win championships.
