But what is the breaking point man? We don’t have a bad roster. We have an elite QB. A top 5 defense perennially. Usually when a QB (Rodgers , Brees, etc) doesn’t win a SB defense is holding them back. It’s happening with us in the playoffs only which with McD being a D head coach makes it all the more infuriating. McCarthy was absolutely holding the Packers back and I think he’s one of the worst HC of all time in clock management / game management. I don’t want to go down that route where we are “satisfied” for 13 years because we win in the regular season.

There is but we have 0 SB appearances with him and we have JA. So you're content with being a regular season powerhouse just because we win then and lose in the play offs? You know that McDermott has never beat a 1-4 seed in the play offs? He's never won on the road in the playoffs? We can go back and forth but the original point is his comment was absolutely WEIRD "Andy Reid has had 11 seasons and McDermott has only had 7" LOL Yeah, well 30 other teams dont have a top 2 QB.

Andy Reid got Alex Smith and they went 13-3 (I believe) in their first year or second. Then draft Mahomes, went 11-5 with Smith (again, I believe) before starting Mahomes. McDermott got Josh his second year as coach. The correlation is identical. 6 seasons with Josh Allen in his absolute prime, being the best player in football, the DEFENSE being what's let us down the most in the playoff's, and having no Super Bowl appearances... is unacceptable in my opinion. This is what the Packers did with McCarthy and rode it for 13 years because they were awesome in the regular season. Having 1 SB win with Rodgers in 13 years is criminal.

Yeah and Ray Davis as starting RB LOL.. Edit: Saw they have Cook above him. What they should do is have 2 TE's in there instead of 2 RBs The fact that we LET Gabe walk and TRADED Diggs and people think it's going to harm us... is kind of funny. If Beane thought we wouldn't be good without them... he would have just kept them? If he thought they brought value, he would have done what he could to keep them. We are going to be fine. Gabe and Diggs were non-existent in our 7 game win streak (inc. play offs).

I'm not sure I totally disagree with you... more trying to understand what he's saying.. The "Andy Reid has had 11 years to build a team and McDermott only 7" argument is one of the strangest things I've ever read. Like 7 years isn't enough to implement your culture and build, etc. Both teams have probably turned over the same amount ... I'd venture to say the Bills have PROBABLY turned over less. The argument is just super odd and makes next to no sense. Also, Eric Fisher.. TERRIBLE until Reid got there. Before him was Dontari Poe and Jon Baldwin. After him was Dee Ford... hardly anything good there lol

Andy Reid inherited a team that was 2-14 my man.... Chiefs record before Reid 5 years: 4-12, 2-14, 4-12, 10-6, 7-9, 2-14 Record for the Bills before McDermott got here: 5 years 6-10 6-10 7-9 8-8 7-9 Are you just grasping? So again to your original point, by season 11.. McDermott should have 3 super bowls since he's had time to build a team now.

Brother... WHAT?! Andy Reid has 3 SB rings with the team.. so McDermott has 4 years to get 3 rings? What kind of weird comment is this?

I want to have faith in him SO bad. If he gets 10+ sacks, we will be a GREAT defense again. I'm obviously rooting for him but I don't have high hopes. I think our D-Line depth will be the best it's been in years with the rookies we brought in. I hope we limit some of the times we rotate Oliver. He was phenomenal last year and if he can replicate that, he should never leave the field. If Oliver and DQJ replicate last year and Carter can be serviceable as a rookie... our edges will have a much easier time. Our defense should be absolutely lights out. I'm not as worried about or offense as some... we have 17 and that's all that matters.

TL's career was started with Urban Meyer and then he was fired mid-season. That is a VERY tough way to start a career. In his first year with Pedersen he showed a ton of growth and then dealt with injuries last year. Fields had the same head coach his entire tenure with Chicago. I think he had the same OC, as well.

Depending on how Von looks, maybe Ngokoue? Maybe Ogbah? Other than that, Worley/Simmons someone in secondary. It may also be smart to let it sit until training camp to address injuries if / when they happen.

I asked questions my man, You’d rather have ETN, Gabe Davis (who we didn’t want to resign), And Christian Kirk over our weapons?! YIKES youd rather have a 32 year old DHop, Calvin Ridley, Tyler Boyd, and Tony Pollard over the Bills offense?! Ouch.

Man, I used to read your stuff and agree but your takes have been hard to agree with this off season dude. You’d rather have ETN, Gabe Davis (who we didn’t want to resign), And Christian Kirk over our weapons?! YIKES youd rather have a 32 year old DHop, Calvin Ridley, Tyler Boyd, and Tony Pollard over the Bills offense?! Ouch.

Per the bolded: THE TITANS?! Dude, they have Will Levis at QB a 32 year old Hopkins and Ridley that disappeared in many games last year. Better weapons than the Bills? Jags?! Who on their team would you take over who we have on our team at any skill position? Texans: I can understand this but they had the worst schedule in the league last year and they don't this year. It will be a telling year for them. It's so odd to me that your sentiment would be SO different if we drafted a guy that looks like this instead of Coleman (and yes, you wouldn't be as critical at ALL if we drafted this twig) :

I do not like Caleb Williams but he didn’t have Rome, Allen, Davis, or Darnell Wright in practice. Could be a factor there.

What did his 40 look like in these games? Was he able to get off the line? I read here that big bodied receivers have a harder time getting off LOS vs someone small and fast

I was told by many here that a 6'1 169 pound guy can be our number 1 and the weight wouldn't be an issue because small quick guys are hard to jam off the line ... LOL You would have believed he was the second coming with how some on the board talked about him man. He's so good that our GM traded back instead of taking him. But yeah, we didn't get "our guy" to some. I am ABSOLUTELY shocked, a guy that looks like this is getting injured, to be honest.

Or really rich dudes that it's realistic that their wife doesnt have to work and she's happily a stay at home mom so he formulated his opinion off of that and being a catholic traditionalist.. I don't agree with it but if i was worth 10+ M .. my wife would probably be stay at home, as well.

So you're saying there's a chance?

We won our division........ we still would have made the play offs. This would not have affected us in any capacity.

What do their injuries have to do with anything? We went 1-1 vs the Jets, lost to the Jags, and lost to the Bengals... We won the division. Those injuries affected us and play off appearance chances .. 0%

Agree, they should be wearing leather.

Because Gabe lost us 2 games last year and disappeared later in the season, dealt with injuries for a few years, and had costly drops. It's not hard to upgrade there (unless you're talking about blocking). He was hardly a threat. I'm sure Coleman will be better because he can catch, run after catch, and is far more athletic than Gabe. Using a contract to tell how good someone is... does not correlate. We can go down a long list of people that has massive contracts and weren't great afterward. If Bills thought he was good, they would have resigned him. Of course you need insurance. Samuel was here because we needed 2 WRs to start. Samuel would have been here whether we kept Diggs or not.. that signing is not a reflection of the Coleman draft. I don't think MVS will have much impact on this team.

Ok, Coleman will be better than Gabe and Shakir was better than Diggs down the stretch, which is undeniable. if the topic is WR, why are you worried so much? chiefs won with their TE being their top choice 3 times in 5 - 6 years… we’ll be fine. We won without Gabe and Diggs down the stretch…? Not to mention: EVEN IF we had a better WR room last year (which we didn't), we can get away with it being worse this year because of the emergence of Cook and Kincaid, unsure how you don't see this? again, if you don’t understand the value of getting younger with better talent, I have nothing to say.

We did not have better WR's .... Gabe and Diggs were non-existent last year down the stretch. Our three best receivers (cook is one) down that stretch are back, are rookies to 3 years in the NFL.. you don't see the value in that? Do you seriously not understand the value of a 22 y/o, young TE that is budding, and a receiving threat that is 23/24? If not, I can't help you..

If any trade were going to happen, this would be it. This board is obsessed with trading for a WR and it's just not going to happen. Beane said in his post draft interview that this was an infusion of youth off season. I think they believe we are more than set at WR and I agree. If I had to guess, they see Kincaid forming into a #1 option while Coleman develops this year. They see Samuel being a defacto #1 WR while Shakir plays the slot. We are more than fine at WR since #17 is our QB. We don't have big names because we got rid of our only "big name" so people panic. We will have a new "big name"(or #1) by the end of the season whether it's any of the mentioned above is to be determined.
