He has to hold the ball because no one is open. Heard a stat this morning that he held the ball 3.5 seconds on average per drop back yesterday. The line is pretty good, but on top of wideout not getting open, the right side of the line in particular is great in run blocking but does have some pass blocking issues.

Good man. The Bills didnt want to move on from Diggs. He didnt want to be here. The entire Diggs narrative that appears to be so popular here feels like fans thinking Doug Marrone got fired.

Do you find other threads on this board where you dont already know the narrative?

Bills could be his first game back. If they are 3-9 do you think it makes any sense to play him?

I thought the same thing. Costing your organization 500k because you let your emotions dictate your actions likely added to it as well. I thought they may get hot down the back stretch and save his job. His attitude had to have played a part.

Literally one of my favorite offensive coaches I've seen in the NFL. He also brings the type of fire the Bills desperately need right now.

There is not being being a yes guy and there is being a jerk because you have no ability to speak to people. The second type of person is toxic. You can have difficult adult conversations without yelling.

I keep seeing this but its pretty well documented that Daboll isnt easy to get along with. He had issues with multiple coaches he hired in NYG.

I am all the way on board with this. I've always been a McDermott supporter. Even when thats faltered I've stuck to it because I didnt see who a viable option as the next coach. With Daboll being available I'd be fine with them moving to him.

The Dolphins better look into a Quarterback as well, otherwise they will be the next team to fire Daboll.

i'd take just about anyone over Belichick at this point. He's 72 years old. He hasnt coached a winning season of football in 4 years. If the requirements are a Super Bowl winning coach I'd prefer Gruden. All that said, if you're dead set on bringing Daboll back just bring him back as the Head Coach.

Belichick is a clown show. Unless prime Tom Brady is coming with him there is no use. No thank you to him and the sideline walking gold digger.

Also, what a weird thing to complain about.

Agreed. But you're being kind calling them average or mediocre. They out and out stink. Coleman should be the one benched.

Funny how many conspiracy theories end up being true. Every other sport denied this being an issue when Donaghy was nailed 15 years ago. I have no faith in the authenticity of sports at this point.

I made the grave mistake of thinking I'd have a nice afternoon.

Pathetic. Last place schedule.

I'll give the Patriots all the credit in the world for drafting Maye and failing fast by firing the dolt they had at head coach last year. Vrabel was a great hire. That said, playing a last place schedule and being in the AFC East where you play the Jets and Dolphins twice a year is a huge part of what's going on with your team this year. Congrats on being good for one year. But slow down on patting yourself on the back on this "complete rebuild." If you win the division this year come back and tell me how great your team is when you play a 1st place schedule. Except they arent in the basement. I agree on the roster, I've heard all year about how the Bills have so much depth, meanwhile we have practice squad players playing meaningful snaps every week. The Bills havent had the benefit of having a last place schedule in 12 years. The Patriots have a few good wins, but for the most part they play crap teams week in and week out.

Aaron Kromer. McDermott has been very vocal about giving credit to Kromer in the media.

You cant say anything about Josh on this board. He is Teflon and beyond reproach. He has earned that to a degree with how great he is been on the field. He is tough as nails, he plays through injuries, which I also appreciate a great deal. But the guys who play until late in their 30's or early 40's are almost manic and obsessive with a need to win or be the greatest to ever do it. I dont see that with him.

I dont support taking the C off of him, but I would like him to be a little more vocal. I am glad he inspires people with his play on the field but this team is sorely missing a Kyle Williams type who can rally the troops a bit. "Love Ya'll Boys- Win on 3- 1-2-3 Win" isnt really cutting it anymore.

There was an interview a few weeks back where he said getting married has made him realize there is more to life than football. That not winning a Super Bowl wouldnt be the be all end all. I am paraphrasing, but that was the jist of the answer. This is not all on Josh. His play this year is likely due to what he's been asked to work with. That said, I cant imagine Tom Brady ever saying not winning a Championship would be ok. I've been of the mind for a long time that Josh doesn't seem like the type of guy that will play into his late 30's or early 40's. Given his family's farming background, he would have been wealthy without football. He's made 206 million from football, that's not counting endorsements. His wife is worth tens of millions as well. Sooner or later, he's going to call it a day, go back to California with his movie star wife, farm and play golf. I don't Forsee him being a Buffalo guy after football. The Bills need to make moves immediately to get his fire back, they likely only have 5-6 more seasons with him.

Just a matter of time before we hear something about the NFL.

God I hate that play. Hes been running it for 2 years and it only works if Shakir can break tackles. It never looks right and the defense knows its coming.

You can think it all you want it doesnt make it true. They both report to Pegula. McDermott is not Beanes boss. If Beane is letting McDermott walk all over him its because he doesnt have balls, not because McDermott is the "ultimate boss," whatever that is.
