Celebrity endorsements historically don't make a difference. Even from Presidents that are popular within their own parties. Obama and Trump both didn't have a good success rate with their endorsements for lower offices even though they were wildly popular within their parties. For celebrities that aren't even in politics, the impact is even lower. Which is why it's so silly that places like Fox News and these influencer clowns have their panties in a twist about Taylor Swift.

Why does this upset Conservatives though? I'm in my early 30's, single, no kids, and love life. I know people in my position who are also very happy...some who are not happy and really want a family but it just hasn't happened yet. I know people who are married and miserable....and married and very happy. I don't push my way of living onto other people just because right now I wouldn't have it any other way. I don't think there's a right or wrong way, it's what works for you. There are people thriving and people who are miserable under both circumstances. There's this weird push from Conservatives, it's all over their media, with their influencers pushing people to get married and have kids, even if it's not what they really want. This is supposedly from the party of freedom and non authoritarian. That Posobiec dude is a clown that has been wrong about a billion things and was triggered by the Barbie movie...that's the kind of stuff that you curate your social media with?

But he was really bad at those things for the other 6 years he was a HC and not the DC If McD is giving up defensive playcalling, this is a good thing. He's a major liability, anything that help ease the burden of his impact helps. We'll still have to win in spite of his in-game management, but at least it's one less hurdle.

This guy really wants the Bills job. It should've happened this year. Hopefully it'll happen next.

McD's the problem, not KC

I agree with the stance on Hillary. But what's funny is YOU as a person do this EXACT SAME thing, and there are receipts on this forum to prove it. You literally admitted to me that the same thing you call out the media and politicians for doing, is the same thing you defended Tucker Carlson for doing with Trump with the propaganda-cupcake interviews with him. The same thing you accuse others of doing is exactly what you do. You're fine with it because he's on your side and you feel that Trump has been unfairly railroaded. You're creating a narrative in which it's OK for you to be a fraud because you feel that's what others on the other side are doing. This is so you can justify your own personal actions and why you kneel down and lick for Tucker when he does the same exact thing that you complain about others doing. This makes you absolutely, 100% no different than the people you complain about. There is not one person on the planet that I would sell out on my beliefs for. Anyone here that I've ever referenced, if someone truthfully calls out them out on their bull####, I'm on board. I'm not going to say it's OK for them but not for the people or side I don't like. What you do is just straight up partisan hackery, which is what so much of this actually boils down to. You bow down to Conservatism, moreso Online Conservatism because I don't think you really know or understand what the real thing is. And there's a lot of that here on both sides. But you seem to more than most put yourself on a high horse when you as a person are much, much more of the problem with our country than what's good.

I agree, almost every team plays that song on kickoffs. We need to do our own thing.

Status Quo

There's a lot of McD propaganda here unfortunately. There's no way anyone can logically make an argument that he hasn't been our biggest liability and problem in the playoffs.

Allen can. The Bills can’t because of McD.

Yup. If I had to say right now...and this feels unfathomable after that 2020-21 season...I don't think Josh ends up winning a Superbowl here. And it's going to be because of McDermott. We're going to have one of the most tragic stories of a superstar of all-time. It's not similar at all though. Manning was dreadful individually, himself, for a lot of those games before he broke through. Josh has been spectacular in the majority of these big games. Peyton was losing those games because of Peyton. Josh is losing those games because of his coach.

I wouldn’t blame him for leaving. McD is a sinking ship.

He's not even Mike's brother

Bring back THAD!

He might be safe. McD needs a scapegoat for next season. Right now it looks like either a new OC that would be that guy and we all know with him as DC, no accountability there. It's a bad look for him if he fires the new OC/Brady or a new ST coordinator. I think what's best for the team is a distant 2nd for him.

Bringing him back this year is pretty much just like when we brought Jauron back in year 4 knowing exactly what we were going to get...so I guess in that sense you're right.

I disagree on the effort to win when it comes to McD. He hasn't improved at all as a coach in over 7 years. Things like in-game management is all about preparation. He doesn't do it. He's never put in the effort or work to improve himself as a gameday coach. It's one of the reasons it's maddening to me that we're keeping him when our guys like #17 show up in these big games and leave their heart on the field and we have a coach that does not do the same thing.

5-6 when it matters most, including 0-3 vs KC, with a QB that has for the most part played great in the playoffs and his side of the ball failing us in every big game and moment.

Right, I think a lot of people are advocating to bring Brady back just because he was an upgrade over Dorsey. That doesn't mean he's actually the best candidate out there. Both things can be true.

Then what's the point of discussing anything? Why would you say you're here?

I got nothin

Thank you for the warm welcome!

They were really all-in on this year, this wouldn't surprise me

I used to think we'd win multiple. Now I really just hope we can at least get 1. It's not going to happen until a coaching change, if one happens. Marv coached them really tight in the SB's too if we're being honest. They should have been more aggressive on the last drive vs the Giants.

Sure, but his proficiency is the defense, and he hasn't held up his end of the bargain. He's also not a strong in-game coach to stay the least. I know you keep mentioning the "duo" of McDermott and Allen and say it's good enough because we've taken close losses...but that's primarily been because of Allen playing out of his mind. It's crazy that we lost those 2 games to KC that he played outstanding in. What is McD contributing to in terms of the duo? His defenses can't stop anybody in these games and he doesn't know how to manage a game. And 5-6 in the playoffs considering he's had Allen for 10 of those games and he's mostly played great is really terrible. This isn't like early-to-mid Peyton Manning who was individually struggling in playoff games. Our QB for the most part has actually at times played even better in the playoffs than the regular season. Look at the fake punt in this game. There was confusion and then Hamlin lines up directly behind the center...EVERYONE know what was coming there. And he just let it happen. Good coaches don't do that. He knew the play design, he was watching what all of us were. I hate using 2nd half timeouts but you have to burn one there if you have no way to communicate to audible out or just take the 5 yard delay of game instead of just giving them the ball right there. He was incredibly fortunate with the fumble touchback because that pretty much would have ended the game right there. This is 7 years in and he's still completely clueless. It's really Allen vs Reid and Mahomes and we have to pray that McD won't be a massive liability in addition to his defenses never coming through in these games, and we can't even get that.
