Yeah Marv was terrible at hiring and developing coaches. If they hadn't already been a HC in the NFL then Marv seemed to hire someone who couldn't coach his way out of a wet paper bag. And that's because Marv wasn't an X and O coach. Marv ran the wing-T in Kansas City.
True story. He was a relic from a simpler time by the time he became the Bills HC and then was basically along for the ride. Substitute teacher/head coach.
Levy is the winningest coach in Bills history, and is in the NFL hall of fame.
Dickerson was a jacka$$ and a clown. I used to listen to him on wgr on my drive home. He wanted “strong opinions, strongly held”. Never admit you’re wrong, never back down. Although he had a good deal of football knowledge, and could be a good teacher, his character flaws and thirst for vengeance made him his own worst enemy. A bit like another popular figure.-

I agree, you want your second round pick to contribute and hopefully start.. On the other hand, Hamlin's improvement appears to be legitimate and entirely unexpected. That lessens the disappointment of Bishop's injury and the resulting delay in development.
Not sure that id be washing out Bishops season quite yet.
I'm no expert on scapula fractures, and I dont know what portion of his scapula was fractured, but the observation that hes not even in a sling tells me its a non-displaced fracture. And 'm guessing that it will be almost healed by 6 weeks.
Its not like a turf toe, or hamstring, or high ankle which might nag the entire season.
I'm thinking hes good to go by game 1 or 2 . Lots of time to get into game shape. Its not a lost season.

Which is really interesting because he and McDermott are (or at least were) tight.
Butler, Bill O Brien, and McDermott all went to La Salle high school in Philly suburbs.
Butler was DB coach and then promoted to DC when OBrien was at PSU. Butler was widely disliked by players as he wouldn’t take responsibility for any errors and laid all errors at the players feet.
Good riddance.-

Although a bit of an excessive comment on the original authors post, Actually he/she is correct. I used to travel extensively to some pretty impoverished countries, Coot De Ivoire, Nigeria, Venezuela, Columbia and sad to to say, in some of the most remote of towns I would see Bills gear, especially T-Shirts proclaiming we were super Bowl champions.
Dude. Coot De Ivoire is a stripper, not a country.

It's an aberration not worth worrying about.
The kid has outstanding hands.
3 drops in 4 throws for a player who had a 2.2% drop rate last year is a cause for concern.
Not sure what’s changed, or whether it’s an “off night”, but it’s not something to blow off as irrelevant. it’s something to track and pay attention to.

I'm not wrong at all.
This will be McGoverns 4th year in the league and his entire career he's played guard.
https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/McGoCo01.htm
Guard to center is not an easy transition to make.
Center Responsibilities
Calling out blocking assignments: The center may need to make last-second adjustments based on the defensive alignment.
Being the offensive line's captain: The center has a good view of the defense and can alert the other offensive players to potential issues. For example, if a middle linebacker moves up to the line of scrimmage before the snap, the center can let everyone know so the offense can make changes.
Being a long snapper: On special teams formations, the center acts as the long snapper. However, in the NFL, all teams have a dedicated long snapper.
The center is often considered the quarterback of the offensive line and is responsible for leading the unit. They need to be able to deconstruct the game, learn what everyone is doing, and make instant decisions in games.
McGovern started all 13 games as center at PSU his sophomore year. Their OC refused to run plays from under center, so all he did was shotgun snap. I don’t recall any problems with his shotgun snaps.
Althouh he only played a couple games at center for Dallas, I’m not worried about him relearning shotgun and under center snaps.

Yeah he might be a year of nfl weight training away from being able compete with the size and strength of nfl WRs and RBs
PSU has a very good weight training program. He did 15 reps on bench press, broad jump of 10.9, and vertical of 42.5. These aren’t going to improve much. Hardy’s problem is size, and he’s not goin to grow. May gain 5-10 lbs, but won’t get taller. He’s very sticky in coverage. Reminds me of nickel Robey, but stronger. I’ll be surprised if he’s cut.

Hollins at best has been a 2nd option. He had 90+ targets in 22 iirc.
I’m not saying he’s a good 2nd option, just that your statement is incorrect and is not telling the whole truth.
Yeah, McB surely failed in their quest for a starting caliber off ball LB6 last season.
I’m saying LB depth was a problem last year. If we’re playing Rapp and Hamlin, that’s a problem. If I’m Beane, I’m looking for safety help as priority 1.

This sounds like the same sort of fretting that dominated discussion here all last summer, but the subject was linebacker, not safety. People were frantic.
The tenor of the comments was that the Bills didn't have anyone who could play MLB, and why hadn't Beane done anything about it all spring. Finally, I asked whether it occurred to anyone that Beane and McDermott, who sere seeing a lot more of the guys on the roster than we were, might know something we don't. People kept right on complaining. Then Bernard started the season, and everyone quieted down.
I'd suggest that maybe McBeane have a pretty good idea what's happening at safety. They apparently could have Hyde if they wanted him, but apparently they don't think it's necessary.
LB was a huge problem at the end of last season.

I saw him play back in the mi 1960s.
He wasn’t a running QB. Never ever ran an option or QB power. He was a classic dropback QB and an OK scrambler.
He didn’t have a strong arm and was an ok passer.
He was a good leader and his teammates seemed to respond to him.
Best comp would be Kirk cousins, but without cousins accuracy.

My surprise cut will be Cam Lewis. This guy never makes a play. I know they brought him back but if the kid from Utah can start that means he is the fourth safety on the team. And if Elam can push Benford for reps then you can get rid of Lewis and let Benford play safety in the dime package.
I don’t think Cam Lewis qualifies as a surprise cut.

I would have drafted a QB in the 3rd last year.
Call me crazy, but I’d rather have a QB who was judged to be good enough to be the #2overall pick 6 yrs ago rather than take a flyer on some kid from Tulsa.

Likely a compression stocking, aids with blood flow up out of the leg via the femoral artery, ask me how I know,
Umm…
Not sure how you know, but…
Blood doesn’t flow out of the leg via an artery.
Blood flows out of any extremity via a vein, not artery.-

Might be an unpopular opinion, but Lewis should have been cut from the roster eons ago.Not an unpopular opinion.

This is the reason that participation in OTA is important. Given the number of choice routes and decisions, this is why all receivers need to know how their QB thinks.
And why A Rogers was a selfish prick for skipping minicamp. Not that I mind.

Depends whose voting.
if it’s player, I thinkTaron Johnson makes it.
If the press, nope. -

And that includes TEs
This is including TE?
So, basically, your'e saying that, by yardage, Bills will have a bottom 5 pass group.
Ima taking that bet any day of the year.

Look at the way that NHL salaries are paid for the no tax states. All the stars on TB are paid the whole salary except for league minimums in signing bonus that is paid out over time. Basically they are paid the exact same amount of.money but keep much more of it. The Josh Salary alone is $4 million a year to state of NY, they would be pissed to lose it.
This was discussed a while back. Bonus Money is taxed based on the state where you team is located. NY for Bills.
But salary is taxed by the state in which the game is played.
The interesting twist here is that we hear about players converting salary to bonus,and it’s a wash. Not quite. This could lead a Bills player to receding more of his income in a high tax state, and a lower % in low tax (TX, FL) states.

I used Wikipedia as a link rather than CNN or other "biased" source.

Huh? Trump didn't relinquish his office?
Biden is many of the things you said Trump is and is also unfit for office, mostly because he's senile. But he's refusing to step aside because he's in it for himself...and millions will still vote for him. This is where we are at.
And if you want to see the set of ideas, listen to Don Jr's speech tonight.
1) Ahh, youre right. Not to voluntarily relinquish office. Hope thats better.
2) I agree that Biden is also unfit for office. Due to age and cognitive decline. Not because he's a compulsive liar, cheat, or con man though.
3) Listen to Don Jr? I'd rather re-watch the PSU-Iowa 6-4 barnburner.

Thanks for weighing in. You’re not alone, and the best a Trump supporter can hope for is less independents like you, more tired of the Biden presidency. That’s always the battle, I suppose.
You’ve been clear on Trump—are there any other presidents/vp or candidates you felt were unfit for office? Bill Clinton and settlements for sexual assaults, the sexual dynamic/subjugation of Monica Lewinsky, and of course his perjury?
W Bush and fabricated evidence leading to the war in Iraq, and the horrors of dead American soldiers and Iraqis as well? Nixon and Watergate? Kennedy, ties to organized crime and his abhorrent treatment of MM, and LBJ and Vietnam?
Also, with respect to the 2016 election and claims that Trump was illegitimate as a president, elected in a coup, false claims of conspiracy with Russia—any issue with the Dems spreading misinformation for 4 years on that? Any issues at all with Mueller inv and outcome, or regular impeachments?Yikes. Hope that went ok. I developed a bit of dental anxiety the last few years, and prefer to take the edge off in scenarios like those.
1) Clinton--wasnt a fan of his, thats why I voted for Bush Sr in 92. Think I probably voted for Clinton in 96, but the Republican candidate wasnt very inspiring. Dole was it? And by 1999 we were running a government SURPLUS. So not terrible fiscal policy.
2) Bush Jr and bad info in Iraq. Yes, there was bad info re WMD. I dont think that Bush conjured that up, I think it was a combo of bad intel and over agreesive interpretation by national security apparatus.
3) Nixon and Watergate. Of course he was guilty and deserved to lose the presidency. I note that todays Supreme Court would have let him off scott free. Thats a topic for another day.
4) The claims that Trump wasnt legitimate in 2016 were entirely different than Trump denial in 2020. Clinton was complaining about the electoral college system, in which a candidate coudl clearly win the popular vote, and clearly lose the electoral vote. But like an honorable competitor, she conceded that she lost, according to the rules of the game. Trump and his droogs say they were fighting against a corrupt system, which 40 courts disagreed with. I say he's simply a poor loser. With Clinton, there was no silly, corrupt scheme to try to claw back the election, followed by 4+ year of election denial. Youre comparing apples to hand grenades.
5) The ties of Trumps campaign to Russia were clear. Mantafort went to jail over them, the ties of Don Jr and General whatshisname to Russians were clear. Trump wasnt charged simply because of executive privilege.

You thought wrong.
To be clear people who drive around town with all those flags are nuts. They are worshipping a man. I make fun of them everytime I see one, always makes for a good laugh! It makes it easy to identify a stupid redneck.
i don’t ever recall seeing that with any other politician than trump. Not for football players, actors, musicians anyone!
Just yard signs and pins for politicians before trump.
This is pretty much where I'm at.
Just for some perspective. I'm an old guy. I watched the game at The Rockpile where Namath threw 8 (yes eight) passes for TDs. Of course 3 were to Bills DBs, and Bills won 37-35!
I consider myself an independent, and voted for Reagan twice, George Bush 4 times, and Mitt Romney twice.
I like some of Trumps policy stances. Against chain migration, and most affirmative action. The gender identity politics strikes me as a diversion, as it affects a small slice of Americans. Of course a 20 yo biologic male shouldnt be competing against female runners or swimmers. This should be common sense.
Common sense also tells us that Trump is unfit to be president. He's a compulsive liar, a con man, a grifter, a tax cheat, in politics only for himself. He is the first and only president not to relinquish his office after clearly losing an election.
Yet for some reason, he inspires cult-like loyalty from almost half of Americans. I find this stunning. There is no other political figure in my lifetime who inspires flags and T shirts with his name or face to be flown.
I listened this evening to the first couple speakers of the RNC. its all about Trump, and the speakers declaring their loyalty and fealty to the greatest US president ever. And how he's now a war hero. He's not. George Washington, Dwight Eisenhower, George Bush Sr., and yes, John McCain are war heroes. Trump is a draft dodger.
I find this loyalty and admiration for a single man, as opposed to a set of ideas (such as the Constitution) to be quite disturbing.
