He's awesome overall, but I had never heard that one and it's gotta be the worst one I've heard from him.

I kind of like this dude and I understand the connection with the song title...however that song sounded awful. I'm usually cool with Eminem but his voice sounded really annoying on that track.

Haha, yikes, I didn't realize that. I guess I just assumed we took a big leg if we were drafting a kicker.

I like this a lot, our kicking game needs a total revamp. We can't keep going with a kicker where a 50+ yard FG is a complete non-starter. Hopefully a punter is coming too!

Id be more excited if I thought he had good BU potential.

I like this draft but not this pick. This dude is not an NFL QB. I was a proponent for drafting a 3rd QB if a guy had some potential and athleticism that could be molded...but this guy has a very low ceiling to begin with.

Yes! Hopefully there is some accountability if McD's game management keeps costing us. Not sure how the "he's a new first-time coach" excuse can still apply to Year 4.

I don't want Flacco but I think to say we have one of the best backup QB situations is a reach. It's basically based on 1 game Barkley had last year vs the Jets vs the entire rest of his career. He's not a terrible backup but a 3rd QB with upside or that's better is definitely not something I'd object to.

I like it. If you're truly "going for it", you gotta shore up Special Teams too. Like someone else here said...now we also gotta address the punting situation.

Sure, kind of like Kelvin Benjamin

YES!!! Very badly needed, I think McDermott is a good teacher of the game but he is straight trash when it comes to game/clock management. Like almost unbelievably bad for a guy who just finished his 3rd year. I'm glad he at least recognizes it and hopefully will give up some of those responsibilities. As we've seen with Andy Reid, for some it's not something that ever really becomes a strength.

This is where I am. However...it’s hard to find even good young LT’s sometimes and given where we are, I think it makes sense to keep him and hope he gets better.

Even if it had been his fault, it's crazy how seriously fans take all of this. In the end it's obviously just a game. I think fans in general, no matter what sport, take it way too far with not only their own players but the opposition. And sometimes without any perspective whatsoever. I loved that Jeff Van Gundy moment a couple of years ago when DeAndre Jordan changed his mind after verbally committing to Dallas and stayed on the Clippers I think it was, The game he came back, they were just nasty to him and Van Gundy said, "All this guy did is change his mind. The same people who are booing him will be cheering Greg Hardy on Sunday", alluding to a guy that at the time was convicted of domestic violence somehow was given a pass over Jordan. It's the sick part of sports really. I get frustrated at times with the Bills but never to that degree, like another poster here said, that's really just blurring the line of sanity.

I didn't, but we had the pieces to win that game. The coach? That's what worried me going in and definitely even moreso for the future.

Haha I probably wouldn't go that far. I've never gone to the airport but I wouldn't discourage it if people normally do. I do think this is a team that plays hard, but with some definite fundamental core issues that I don't know will be resolved.

I love our fanbase and wouldn't trade it for any other...but it is kind of a low standard one to be really honest. We didn't have a great season if we're being really objective. Decent progress from our 2nd year QB but he still looks like a long-term question-mark, 1-5 vs playoff teams including 0-2 against one of the worst Patriots teams of their dynasty. A really soft schedule led to 10-6, which is nice, part of what you need to be able to do is beat the teams you should. In comparison to the regimes of the past, which is the standard that's being upheld for the most part, yeah it was much better. But in comparison to a successful NFL regime in year 3, I think it was just a mediocre season.

The drops were definitely tough to watch, but it was great to see him make some plays. I'm not sure if it would have ultimately made a difference, but I wonder if getting him more involved during the regular season could have helped in preparation for this game.

He's a baller. Really played great in huge moments of quite a few games this year.

There's a lot that just doesn't make sense from a coaching standpoint on the offensive side of the ball. One of my big issues though is there are people that only mention Daboll about this. McDermott's the Head Coach. Ultimately, this falls on him. The overarching philosophy, the choice for OC, and gameday preparation and management is all part of the Head Coach position.

Yup, unless he undergoes some kind of transformation, this is always going to be a problem against good teams. 1-5 this year vs teams that are in the playoffs.

I think all kickers go through that sometimes though. He actually did well to get out of the funk during the season. The issue is that even at his best in his time here, he's really struggled with FG's from 50+ yards out.

That's the problem, he can't be counted on at all for 50+ yard kicks.

He got out of his funk for sure and finished strong. I give him credit, a lot of kickers get into those funks but aren't able to get out of them in the same season.

As they say...this thread did not age well.

I think McDermott's a damn good teacher, but a below average Head Coach when you factor in game management.
