And also throw adult toys onto the field. Don't forget the yeoman's job that we do.

He was indeed a very inspirational fan for many of us.

Well, I did my part Monday night. I sure wish McDermott and his boys had done their part.

Seemed like a good idea at the time. Oh well. Live and learn...

As far as this season goes, today was my final straw and I will no longer be dedicating time or money to watch McDermott's garbage in 2018. Next year? Depends. I have to see what gets upgraded during the off-season. As far as being a Buffalo Bills fan? My final straw is when I'm six feet under.

This tells me that McDermott finally lost the locker room. I doubt he wins them back again. He will most likely be fired in 14 months.

His name is Rebel101, not EnglishLanguageConformist101.

The man has 21 rushing attempts all season. 7 per game. Shouldn't we assemble a larger data set before declaring his career over? Also, he's playing on an offense with an historically bad WR corps, maybe the worst OL in the league without Woods and Incognito, a rookie QB from the Mountain West Conference, a chronically underperforming TE in Clay, and a coaching staff who thought Nathan Peterman could be a quality NFL QB. McCoy is one of the last people right now that I'm going to blame for the offensive woes. Maybe I'll revisit this topic in another month, but not now.

Leif Larsen the polar bear wrestler! Wow, what a name drop for Buffalo Bills trivia enthusiasts! He's the guy we picked at #194 in the 2000 NFL draft because he was super strong, despite not having demonstrated any other skills or any talent for the game of football. Five picks later, the Patriots selected Tom Brady.

Robb Riddick is the cousin of Will Lewis, who is Ryan's father. Both Robb and Will went to Millersville University in PA. Ryan Lewis went to Pitt, so it looks like that whole family is from Pennsylvania. I think Ryan Lewis has the potential to be our next Jabari Greer...that is, an undrafted free agent CB who can be a solid NFL starter.

That ain't nothing, bro. Do you even tattoo, bro? I have a whole sleeve of Buffalo Bills franchise QB hopefuls on my right arm: EJ, Tyrod, Fitz, Trentative, Losman, Bledsoe, RJ, and Todd Collins. And my left arm is wicked old school with Vince Ferragamo, Dennis Shaw, and Richie Lucas.

If the Bills weren't such an historically inept franchise - punctuated by the 17-year playoff drought that killed an entire generation of potential fans - then I'd say that "Bills territory" would probably encompass all of New York state north and west of Putnam and Rockland Counties.

Okay, but remember that this defense last fall finished 26th in yards allowed per game, 18th in points given up per game, and 3rd from last in the league in sacks. There is still a long way to go before we can be considered top 5-10 and "elite." We all seem to acknowledge that the LB unit could use one more quality starter (from the post-June 1 cuts?), that the DB's are looking great, and that the DL has good depth. Where I may disagree with others is probably in my assessment of the starting front 4. Hughes-Lotulelei-Williams-Murphy looks pretty mediocre to me (on paper). My biggest beef is with Hughes, whom I believe to be a mentally deficient clown that will never again reach 10 sacks in a year and will be off the roster by next January.

Let's not get carried away here. The DL looks solid, but it is far from elite. The LB position lacks both a third legitimate starter and decent depth. At least the DB's have the potential to be considered elite. 2019 is the year when I fully expect the defense to join the ranks of the truly elite defenses like Jacksonville. One more draft plus freeing up $40 million in dead cap should be enough to patch up the LB's and bring in genuine Pro Bowl caliber pass rushers.

I shat my pants when Beane traded up to draft Allen. It took me 17 minutes to clean up the mess.

Nothing wrong with my facts. RJ was traded to the Bills during the 1998 offseason. I was against that trade in 1998. I didn't know anything about RJ during his draft year. I was too focused on Todd Collins at that time. Don't ever try to embarrass me again on this message board. Believe me, I know my Buffalo Bills history. I've got ranch dressing stains on my size XXXL Zubaz pants that are older than you, son. Can someone give me historical examples of modern NFL QB prospects from small college programs who had below a 60% career completion percentage, started less than 30 games, won less than 20 games, and yet still had successful NFL careers? I'll leave the definitions of "modern NFL," "small college program," and "successful NFL career" ambiguous because I'm just looking for a working list at the moment. Thank you for doing this on-line research for me. I'm too busy working at my generic blue-collar factory job right now to do it myself.

Go ahead and ridicule me. But I was right on RJ in 1998, Losman in 2004, and Manuel in 2013. Typical "looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane" QB types who lacked the requisite accuracy and decision-making skills to thrive in the modern-era NFL. If they haven't shown the ability by the time they finish college, it's extremely rare for them to somehow figure it out within the first few years in the pros.
