Why isn’t there a 2nd team all pro? What is the downside? The voting is already done. Just look at the results and bam…done.
PS I could swear 2nd team all pro used to be a thing.
It is. I think this is a different all pro list. Maybe I am wrong? I always thought the All Pro List was through the Associated Press. This seems to be NFLPA.

First he ruined EJ! Then he killed Russell Wilson. Now he’s murdering Garrett Wilson, who’s awesome!
the amount of crappy coaches who keep getting hired is embarrassing.
Hackett is a perfect example of having friends in the right places. I am sure he knows football, and is probably fine a Quality Control coach, but the guy has had a rocket strapped to his back in terms of getting OC jobs way too soon. He was given the OC job here after only 1 year on NFL coaching experience and has been an OC or head coach in the NFL all but two years since then.
Between his Dad, Doug Marrone, and Aaron Rodgers he's built an entire career based solely on nepotism. Its good to know the right people, even if you're clearly bad at your job.

I know this is a LAMP but I just had to share.
The newest bills fan was born at 9:50am PT. He’s a healthy 8lbs two Oz and mom and him are doing great.
William Daniel Stojanovich. He will go by Liam (the last 4 letters of William and the Irish nickname for their version of William) William was important as it was my wife’s uncle’s name (Bills) who died far too young from MS.
Side note, the little guy is already saying that he doesn’t think Mason Rudolph is an MFL caliber QB.
Best day of my life.
go bills.
Congrats. Being a Dad is the absolute best thing in the world. Many prayers for you, your wife and your little fella for a prosperous and healthy life.

Worked at the Borders there for four years. Had a blast being young in Buffalo. Sad to see it go.

I wouldnt worry about if we get picks or not, no one is hiring this guy as a head coach.

I spent two years touring in a hard rock band about 15 years ago. My singer, drummer and one guitar player would sneak off constantly but I was too naive to know what was going on.
Given the number of shows we played, the scummy promoters, and all wacky people I met, I am still amazed I never saw it.
Long story short never my cup of tea.

Wife just got a call from her best friend. Asked if her and I wanted free tickets to the game Sunday. Wife asked me if I wanted to go. I am thinking about a legal separation for the fact she even asked.
Needless to say I'll be there Sunday loud and proud. Go Bills!

I saw it during the game. Yelled out loud "Hes grabbing him again." Wife just kind of looked at me side eyed.

I fully expect the Raiders to keep their interim GM and Head Coach. The interim GM is the guy Davis initially wanted to hire but second guessed himself. That said, Gray isn't necessarily the Rooney rule candidate because Champ Kelly the interim GM isnt white.

We blamed McDermott for this relationship unraveling but Daboll seems like a hot head.
Its too bad the Daboll and McDermott relationship seems to be irrecoverable because I think he will be available next offseason.

great points about the AFC Least during the Patriots dynasty as well...
No good QBs, only decent HC I can even think of for any real competition was Rex Ryan, who had a few good years with NJ.
NE basically started every year 6-0 and went from there. There was almost no challenge at all in division. The list of Bills, Jets, and Dolphins QBs during that decade and a half is laughable.
The division was such an incredible mismatch. Now we get good and there's another great team (record wise) and a HOF QB in the division as well
For sure. Playing in the AFC East was a huge advantage for them. They never won a Super Bowl in a year they didnt have a first round bye in the playoffs. Having to win 2 games to get to the Super Bowl rather than 3 is big for any team, and it played a huge part in them being a dynasty. Helped that their dynasty was during the time the NFL had both the 1 and 2 seed have 1st round byes. Another reason I am not sure we will ever see another dynasty.
It is a drag the Jets and Dolphins both have hope in their corner now. The good news is I dont see Rogers playing as long as Brady. Miami will have to figure out a way to pay everyone, and from the looks of it the team runs through Tyreek more than it runs through Tua. Can only hope they pay Tua.
3 minutes ago, RoyBatty is alive said:It is even worse than that.
What is the #1 concern for a HC every year, the QB and consistency. Brady's consistency was ridiculous. Every year but 1 Belichek, after about 2005, had zero worries about who was going to be QB, nada.
Brady was incredible to watch. Just an absolute surgeon. His arm seemed to get stronger as the years went on as well.

This is my point in a nutshell.
Andy Reid had a borderline HOF coaching career BEFORE Mahomes was ever drafted. Being in the top 10 all-time in HC wins had him in the discussion already.
The Mahomes arrived and he's coached in 3 more Super Bowls, winning 2, and won a ton more games as well.
Reid may even pass him for all time wins when its all said and done. I've said it for awhile now, I think Belichick is a fine coach, but he was a fine coach on his way to being fired for a second time when Bledsoe got hurt and ushered in the Brady era. Once Brady went to Tampa Bay and won another title without Belichick, I think it more than sealed the deal, Brady made Belichick.
I am not sure anyone will ever match what the Patriots did during that era, but it was a perfect storm of things coming together. Playing in the AFC East with three other teams who virtually wasted decades of time with bad coaching hires, and roster management helped a great deal. Belichick also plays a part in it, but if we are being honest there are a few coaches who have a better win percentage all time than Belichick without great QBs. John Madden, George Allen, George Halas, and Paul Brown all come to mind. I think its a fairly easy argument to say their legacies in football are a fair bit more revolutionary than Belichick's as well.
He may be the best coach lately, but he is not the best coach of all time.

what was Levy's record without Jim Kelly? Bill Walsh without Montana or Young?
If he feels there's a better organization am sure he'd welcome a trade, one would think that Kraft would trade him where he'd want to go to leave things on good terms.
Levy's win percentage is .418. Belichick's win percentage without Brady is something like .457. Pretty sure Bill Walsh never coached without Montana as a starter so that point is moot. Love Jim Kelly but he is far from Tom Brady. Point remains, if you're going to call someone the best coach to ever coach he probably shouldn't be a failure without a great Quarterback, otherwise he was just an average coach who got lucky to have a great quarterback.

He may screw up sometimes, but he puts his heart and soul into every game and when the game is on the line, he shines!
That 3rd and 13 he got to extend the drive …. NO other quarterback is getting that.
I will forever ride or die with Josh Allen. I don’t want ANYONE else. I wouldn’t trade him for Mahomes, Burrow, Rodgers and all of the gold in the world.
He's incredible. But to call out "Allen Haters" when the really negative Allen comments come during the game day threads, based solely on immediate reactions is a bit much. Should you "show yourself the door" for starting threads on McDermott when the guy is 30 wins over .500, has made the playoffs 6 of 7 years, and outcoached the "genius" last night? No, you should keep posting because thats what this board is for. To have discussion with fellow Bills' fans, to calm one another down, and to have community.
I think when the dust settles pretty much everyone on this board would choose Allen over every other QB in the league. I've routinely said he is the 2nd best QB in the league, very arguable he has become the best, and clearly the most important to his team. Everyone should continue to have their own opinions, but I think we can all agree GO BILLS!
