Royale with Cheese

If McDermott continues to lose in the postseason like Andy Reid did, he will eventually get fired and then immediately picked up by another team....just like Reid. By saying Reid had more success than McDermott after being a continual playoff disappointment is splitting hairs. Every criticism that Reid got, McDermott is getting now. I just don't like the "McDermott isn't doing in year 6 what Reid is doing in year 24". Some people/coaches/players peak faster than others. McDermott disappointed this year. Reid did it continually for years and finally got the monkey off his back a few years ago. Now he got his second one in his 24th season. He's a great coach that improved from his first stint and also got Patrick Mahomes. We have Josh Allen. Allen has outperformed Mahomes in the last 3 meetings, including the playoffs. We know what we need to fix, lets see if we can fix it. I'm down on our coaching staff right now but not writing them off. Right now McDermott and Reid have had similar starts to their careers. We just hope McDermott gets us over the hump faster.

Why does this matter? Does that mean more or does him taking 23 years to finally win it mean more? If Sean McDermott was 1-4 in Conference Championship games and that Super Bowl appearance was a loss....would you have wanted to keep McDermott? This is what Reid did in Philly.

If it's this nurse, you aren't paying her to sing.

It does pay the bills because this hospital doesn't charge the parents. Its paid for by the donations....I believe.

I read an article years ago and they had these published from the bigger ones. I need to start donating again to St. Judes hospital. I believe 100% of proceeds go to the hospital.

What does the interior OL look like? Is there any day 2 talent at WR?

I think the decent ones average like 40%-45% towards the cause.

I can't imagine what would happen to this board if Tremaine is extended.....then a few hours later we get a tweet that Saffold is also extended.

Yeah it's an analogy and it's pretty stupid. Ask him how much he loved Daboll.

The Bills season always ends up like a bad break up. Over time, you get better and then you don't hate them anymore. By April, you'll love them again. By late July, you're starting to become an item again. Then by early September, full committed relationship.

I think August would be 8 months? Did he come back last time in about the same amount of time?

Von is confident he will be back by training camp post surgery.

The regular season undefeated Patriots offense looked completely unprepared against the Giants in the Super Bowl. Brady has the quickest release in the NFL and the offensive line couldn’t hold blocks long enough for that.

This we can agree on. We were outcoached, destroyed in the trenches, our secondary was confused, we missed tackles, we dropped balls etc... In every facet of that game, we were beat. I just don't agree that you can just put all blame in one area. It's a 48 player active roster with a dozen coaches....it's a collective effort. Sometimes its more player execution, sometimes its more the player/coaching game day decisions, sometimes it's the game plan and sometimes it's an off day. The Bengals game, it was everyone and everything. We were beat as bad as the 2020 Colts game.

There were other options and Josh chose to go to Gabe. Cover 1 or one of the social media outlets broke down that play and Josh missed someone wide open underneath. It was Beasley I think...wide open. I think Cook was also open in the flat and could have converted the 1st. Now it should have been a catch, it was a bad drop by Davis and we wouldn't be talking about it if it was completed. But to say that's on coaching is not correct at all. It was player execution on that. Allen choosing to go deep over taking the easier 1st down and Gabe not catching it. That's not coaching.

Do you know 100% for sure that Dorsey told Allen to avoid all the other WR's even if they're wide open on that play and told him to throw to Davis regardless?

It's not all coaching. Simple execution from the players was a major problem too. There wasn't anyone on this board who was more upset about drops than you. We had a ton of drops and in crucial situations. That's not on coaching. What was coached was the play design and that worked, the player didn't. Allen made a ton of mistakes as well. He couldn't stop turning the ball over, especially in the redzone. He went from being nearly perfect in the redzone in his first couple of years to now leading the league in giveaways. That was a major problem for us. We never righted the ship after the GB game and it was a combination of coaching, player execution and several injuries.

I already hired him as my tax accountant.

Rosseau and Lawson would be OLB in a 3-4.

We have been building a 4-3 defense since 2017 and it would take a complete overhaul to go to a defense never ran before by this coaching staff.

That is a gigantic leap. I wouldn't be surprised if we went from first to worst in a span of one season.

Yeah it was. Especially in the 2nd half of the season...right after the Packer game.

They put together the roster and they put together and approve game plans. I'm sure Frazier and McDermott put together the defensive game plan. I'm sure he lets Dorsey put together his game plan but has to run it through McDermott. So the game plan we see on the field is McDermott's responsibility. I'm down on the coaches but at the same time, the players failed to execute a lot as well. We shot ourselves in the foot way too many times from simple execution which I put on the players. But these are the players the coaches put on the field. I mean we were a unbelievable catch from Justin Jefferson and QB/Center exchange from beating the Vikings. I know you can say in every game there was a play or two that could have changed everything but a dropped snap in the end zone and a team recovers for the go ahead TD at the end of the 4th? That's a 14-2 team with flaws. A team like this even with flaws is still close. The Bengals are better than us right now but we have an offseason to correct that. I'm not afraid of the Chiefs. Everyone else is playing catch up and I trust McDermott/Beane knows what they need to fix....lets see if they can.
