Sweats, try a little positivity one time man, you’re bringing down the mood. Did I say these poor coaches? I just said it’s a weird place to be. Not for nothing, most of the coaches on staff aren’t making millions of dollars. There are plenty of guys in those offices typically making much less than even six figures and undoubtedly feel the things I’m describing above.

Working in professional sports is such a weird place to be. You get hired knowing you're going to get fired and there really isn't anything you can do to stop it. Your success hinges on so many unpredictable factors, in this case, the performance of 53(ish) individuals that you're required to get to pull in one direction. More often than not, you're getting fired because of a metaphorical angry mob with torches and pitchforks upset with your performance. It can be justified, some other times it is not. Fans view success as binary - "Win a Super Bowl" or "We Suck". Unfortunately, it's much more nuanced than that, but fans (short for fanatic: a person filled with excessive and single-minded zeal, especially for an extreme religious or political cause) have a hard time acknowledging all of the factors. Realistically, most fans have no clue what really goes into the operation - roster rules, salary cap, official rules, etc. They just look at everything through a very narrow-minded viewpoint of Super Bowl or Bust. The point being made by Sean McDermott isn't some sort of deflection, it's acknowledging they've objectively had a tremendous amount of success throughout his tenure despite not being crowned Super Bowl Champions. That's because success in the NFL is more of a spectrum as opposed to 0s and 1s like @Ethan in Clevelandwould like to believe.

Anyone else feeling pretty good with the Bills?
JGMcD2 replied to SoonerBillsFan's topic in The Stadium Wall
It wasn't a simple break of his tibia... It was a tibial plateau fracture... pretty common for the recovery to be non-weight bearing for 6-12 weeks post op. -
Yeah, what a jackass. Keeps putting out a perennial Division Champion that's a Super Bowl favorite year in and year out. Stupid ####### that Beane guy is.

Maybe when he tore his ACL, not the fact he signed with the team. It was a smart swing, unfortunate outcome.

Isaiah Hodgins Expected to Be Non-Tendered as RFA
JGMcD2 replied to JGMcD2's topic in The Stadium Wall
Were those guys getting targeted as WR1? It was a volume thing lol -

Yeah, because he was their defacto WR1 down the stretch in 2022 lol -

Buddy Nix hasn’t been running things for quite some time now. -
Beane and McDermott are so dumb for letting him go and get poached by the Giants 🤪

And you do? Someone just laid out all the rookies that McDermott has played and started here... and you don't even reply. You just give them an "X" and keep spewing some bull####.

The flip side of this, is having depth options already on the roster gives you more flexibility on draft day(s). Then it is best man wins.

WR2 will be a new starter, but likely a high pick. One new starter on the O-Line but two position changes if it's true McGovern will move to OC. Two new starting safeties. 4 total, so we're returning 18/22.

Nahhhhhhhhh. Facts aren't important.

Ben Dover and Mike Hunt have their finger on the pulse too

Joe Marino's Locked on Bills Mock Free Agency

Talk about lack of understanding. You seem to be the expert lol -
Joe Marino's Locked on Bills Mock Free Agency
JGMcD2 replied to BillsFanForever19's topic in The Stadium Wall
I promise I do underststand, I also understand as well. It’s a plenty reasonable comp. Schultz is a comparable player to Dawson Knox, their spots on the depth chart are a product of their environment and not their talent. The Bills have two starting caliber TE, Houston has one. I’ll ask again, would Dalton Schultz be TE1 here in Buffalo? -

DT Foley Fatukasi Meeting with Bills Today-Signed by Texans
JGMcD2 replied to BuffaloBillyG's topic in The Stadium Wall
DJ Reader would be awesome... -
Yeah, glad they recouped pennies on the dollar with that trade. They botched the most important position in the game multiple times until lucking into Purdy. 49ers get: 2021 first-round pick (No. 3 overall) Dolphins get: 2021 first-round pick (No. 12 overall) 2022 first-round pick (No. 29 overall) 2022 third-round pick (No. 101 overall) 2023 first-round pick (No. 29 overall) They’re well run, but they’ve made some massive mistakes too. For as much flack as Beane gets for his Day 2 RB love, you should see the Lynch/Shannahan bungling of Day 2 picks on RB. They’re not great early in the draft all together.
