Wow. 2nd all time. Only the Eagles in 1986 gave up more sacks (104).

Ok, but he wasn't injured for the year in 2023. He played in all 17 games in the regular season and in the playoffs against the Steelers. Yeah, he got injured and missed the next game, but it wasn't that serious. He said he would have played the next week against the Ravens had they won against the Chiefs.

Then why did you say Bernard was injured for the year in 2017, 2020, and 2023? It's obvious you were talking about Milano, not Bernard.

I think you switched the names.

It's pretty cool to see the success of this current era of the Bills reflected in the hiring of GM's and coaches around the league. It just shows how respected the current organization is.

Mahomes is the best. But honestly, why does it matter? There is a little too much obsession with ranking one above the other.

2020 against the Chiefs.

Pat Mahomes. I'm hoping he actually sucks. Maybe this will be the year for him to show his true colors.

Yes, he has been to a conference championship game. Did you forget about that? All those are great coaches, potentially. Some of them have to show they can do it for more than a year or two. But McDermott has done more for longer than all of them, in a harder conference than the NFC guys. I don't really buy the conjecture that he has underperformed or that others could have done more with this team. Or that Josh Allen is the only reason. That's pure speculation based off nothing but opinion. Wins are wins. Playoff wins are playoff wins. Division titles are division titles. That's mainly what matters to me. The Bills have been a top team for many years and McDermott is the leader of the team. Period.

Been there done that with McDermott. He has done all of that and more.

Use it if they need it. Let whatever is left over to roll over to next year. Luckily, that is cap exempt.

I use AI in my job all the time. It is a time saver, but humans still need to check everything. It still gets things wrong all the time. But AI is getting better and better.

Unfortunately, this is the attitude of many people. Anyone who makes more money than them must have done so by corrupt means. Punish them because they are rich and corrupt. It's just nonsense. Either they broke the law or they didn't. How much money they make is irrelevant.

"The NFL also has argued that exclusive TV deals are protected by the Sports Broadcasting Act, which the league said “grants an antitrust exemption for the sale of ‘all or any part’ of broadcasting rights.”" Is this true? If so, what is the argument that the NFL broke the law?

He's not. He is 9-7.

I'm not saying they aren't good coaches. They all are. But they have no business being ranked ahead of Sean McDermott. BTW, LaFleur is 17-17 without Rodgers. Being a .500 coach isn't really anything special. He did win a playoff game last year, though. We'll see how the Packers do this year. They appear to be a talented young team, and they are in the weaker conference.

That's why I say keep them in bubble wrap. We know what they are. We don't have anything else to learn about them.

And what's that?

Ok, what have Dan Campbell, Matt Lafleur, DeMeco Ryans, and Kevin Stefanski accomplished to be ranked ahead of McDermott?

Agreed. We went through years of bad oline play with last year being the first year of good oline play in awhile. Metrics aside, it was pretty noticeable how much better the line was last year just from watching.

Not really. McGovern sat out the 2019 season in Dallas and when he got on the field in 2020 the Cowboys were set at center so he played 14 games at right guard, then switched over to left guard in 2021 and 2022. With Dallas he started 29 games and he played center only in a pinch for about 100 snaps. He was never tried at center seriously, only moved there due to positional emergencies. The most important thing is the center/QB exchange, and that takes repetitive reps in practice to get right. He never had the proper preparation in Dallas for center.

5th and 6th, but the Bills gave a 7th as well.

You think Tom Brady would ever debase himself by becoming a lowly QB coach?

It really didn't. He has had the same type of issues dating back to his high school days. He has been a POS forever.

I say keep Milano and Von Miller wrapped in as much bubble tape as possible. Obviously, they'll need to get ready for football and get in football shape, but don't risk them unnecessarily. I wouldn't play either of them in preseason games.
