They liked him coming out of college… he went higher than they expected.

Best O-Line in the AFC East to go along with the best QB.

Wow.. So proud of this staff and seeing Damar and the audience break down damn near had me in tears. Him and this training staff are nothing short of incredible!
Damar was our SB trophy this year, next year the Lombardis coming to WNY🫶🫶
@Airseven I know your schtick here is being a negative person, but really, an eye roll?

Yup....as long as McDermott runs this team, he will always emphasize the defense over the offense. No matter how generational Josh is. KC has proven twice you don't need a top 10 defense to win a SB.
Except for this year where their two biggest FA signings were an OG/WR and their first two draft picks were TE/OG.

Thad Brown was announcing at an award ceremony for one of my siblings. He said their name wrong despite asking how to say it properly beforehand.
That’s my lasting memory of his ability to do his job.

If they’re a top 5 combo then they routinely underperform their own capabilities by flailing in the round of 8.
Oh, Einstein. Please don’t make me continue to push back on your agenda. It’s as sound as the OceanGate submersible.

I think top 5 is slightly higher than I'd have them but I agree with the spirit of your comment.
This is a fun exercise! Who would your top 10 be?

I think it shows the seat is a LOT cooler than a lot of fans want it to be and the media have speculated it is.
I see almost no way this regime doesn't remain into 2024 at the very least. And the likelihood is the rope is a fair bit longer. Part of the reason why is surely that Terry knows he isn't great at these appointments. For all that McD and Beane ain't perfect and there are legit holes you can pick in both, they are overwhelmingly the two best hires that Pegs has made across multiple attempts for two franchises.
They’re a top 5 combination in the league. Not one GM or HC is without flaws.
It’s just fatigue from the fan base - happens everywhere. Grass is always greener or something like that.

Was obviously going to happen, no matter what people say. Hopefully the heat is on and they'll be gone if we don't win a super bowl in the next 2-3 years. Beane should be thanking Josh because without him, his draft record is terrible.
This just isn’t true 🤦🏻

But answer me this - if the Chiefs didn't think we were going to pick McDuffie, why would they move ahead of us? They could have moved behind us, and not wasted a third rounder. Patriots clearly didn't want a CB (they traded the pick). And GB didnt need one (they went LB). The Titans and Bucs were willing to trade their picks (and did).
They moved up to take a cornerback... they didn't know whether we were taking McDuffie or not. Kansas City knew we wanted a cornerback and per @GunnerBillcomment earlier from The Athletic article had McDuffie and Elam left as round one talent.
They wanted to jump and make sure they got one before the Bills (or any other team) could move up and take one. Beane said that was part of his reason for moving up, other teams may have wanted to jump up and grab a cornerback and knew we may want one.
You asked the question earlier why Buffalo would bring McDuffie in for a pre-draft visit if he didn't fit their "physical profile." Scenarios like this are exactly why... you make teams guess who you're truly interested in or not.

I saw it on a tweet once, where there was massive discussion of the Bills wanting McDuffie.
It was a video of the Bills board room and it was just announced that the Chiefs moved up (and everyone knew it was to get McDuffie), and Terrance Gray exasperates "they moved ahead of us" and the scout to his left is looking worried, and Beane starts to get on the phone to move up as well.
Then you add to the fact that KC moved ahead of us for a reason. They didn't waste a 3rd round pick jumping ahead of us because they thought we were taking Elam.
Terrance Gray could be worried because they were down to the last first round grade on their board... not because they took McDuffie.
The nervousness could be tied to the need to move up to secure their last first-round talent... not who Kansas City selected. They were sitting there at 25 thinking that if McDuffie or Elam keep falling, they can stand pat and get either one, or have a smaller trade up if neither goes until 22 or 23.
You're hyper-fixated on who was selected and not all of the other factors that play into the situation.
Again, it seems to be purposefully negligent.

I hope he figures it out. He played significantly better in the playoffs than he did in the regular season.
Unlike Gunner I do believe the Bills would have preferred McDuffie. The look on their faces when KC moved up to get him told a story. And the Bills said Elam was their last 1st round grade. So either you believe the Bills had McDuffie as a 2nd round grade (which makes no sense), or the Bills had McDuffie higher than Elam. But it doesn’t matter now.
The Buffalo Bills did not say that Kaiir Elam was their "lowest graded first round talent" they said he was their "last first round grade of the remaining players."
It's entirely plausible that both had first round grade, the Bills had Elam rated higher than McDuffie, and they traded up to secure the final first round talent available on their board.
Your interpretation of this situation seems to be purposefully negligent.

His job is to put together a winning team, not run a successful social clinic. I'd be you tons of money that latter part isn't anywhere to be found in his job description.
I'd bet you tons of money that even if it's not in his job description, it's the most important part of his job (it's also definitely in his job description)
It's not a secret that winning is highly reliant on dealing with managing various people and personalities.
Talk to any coach - they're not focused on the X's and O's... that's not what the players care about the most.

The "D-Ham" ordeal's only going to carry him so far. That's respect as a person, less so as a coach.
People seem to have difficulty separating someone being a nice guy from someone that has what it takes to be superlative as a coach in a tactical/strategic sense.
People also love to try and separate the personal portion of being a coach as if it’s insignificant.
He doesn’t coach a sport, he coaches people.

Agreed. Which is why a HC can’t be the one to squander legitimate opportunities when they present themselves. 13 seconds is on McDermott and is the poison that will eventually kill his tenure here. It will take another year or two to finish the job, but I believe that (and the immediate aftermath) was the point of no return for him here. His failures in the moment and afterward changed how he was viewed and trusted by the locker room. Now it is too late to undo that damage and it just has to play out.
And then Damar happened and your made up point was proven wrong.
I also want the Mafia to know something about Sean McDermott. It’s not that he didn’t have my respect before, because he did. But the way he carried himself through this D-Ham ordeal? He has my respect forever.

This all or nothing concept is incredible to me. The goal is to win, not disputing that. Win a Super Bowl.
Winning a Super Bowl is ***** hard.

Big Dawg is Josh Allen.
He’s referred to him by that name a bunch in the past. Only difference was it was in a positive context.

Beane takes chances every year and they never Pam out, it’s why our oline is as bad as it is. He took a chance last year giving Davis and McKenzie the opportunity they got, ***** didn’t Pam out also. Sorry if no one is excited about 4 year vets who haven’t done anything but show a couple flashes at this point. Team wants to win a superbowl at some point you gotta just got get that guy instead of giving guys chances.
Who is Pam and what is her influence on the Buffalo Bills?

And what's with the pineapples on the backdrop... are they advertising for "adventurous couples with alternative lifestyles?"
Pineapples have been long used as a symbol of royalty and hospitality, beginning in Europe after Columbus returned.
An upside-down pineapple is used to express "adventurous couples with alternative lifestyles."

They are not at all satisfied with CB2
Yeah. I don't know if that's what this is. They upgraded CB7 by swapping McMichael for Dantzler - now he's competing for a chance at the 53 man roster.
Camreon Dantzler is competing with Siran Neal, Cam Lewis, Alex Austin and Ja'Marcus Ingram. He's not competing with Kaiir Elam.

So if Brown isn’t a cone this year, which he’s shown the ability to do in the past, we’re possibly a top-10 unit as opposed to bottom 10?
Beane still didn’t do enough.
