He’s played in 60/65 games in his 4 years here… that equates to a good chunk on the sidelines this year?

Graded higher than Edmunds on PFF…

Different McGovern

Didn’t we drop like 50 on Fangio’s defense the last time we played him? Has Ramsey ever contributed to a win against Buffalo? Let’s try not to sensationalize everything.

It’s ironic you’re using a quote from Ted Lasso to highlight how wins and losses matter with the human element not being important 😂

I actually think Benford will be a very good safety… but personally have a hard time moving him because he showed flashes of being an above average CB.

It’s not that hard to look, there are articles and interviews like this everywhere, but then again you clearly don’t want to. I’ll just draw from the first one that comes to mind. Dion Dawkins - The Player’s Tribune 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. As much as you’re heaping praise on Daboll now… that hasn’t always been the case 😀 Daboll is not the OC that this team needs. We need a OC who can utilize what this team has. Daboll has not done this at all. Epic Fail!! We need a better OC and WR's, TE's and a better OLine. To do this means you have faith in Daboll and McD. I do not have any faith in these two clowns and I am not the only one. Meathead Daboll definitely is not off the hook either. This guy is absolute garbage, like said in other post, if it was not for Allen being able to improvise this year when plays have been blown up at the line of scrimmage this team would have a losing record right now. The number one scapegoat is "Daboll" He is a cancer to this offense right now. Because of this guy not being able to utilize the talent on this Bills roster, we are not going to make the playoffs this year. We will lose 4 out of 5 of our remaining games. Then we can come back to this and then see if you think Daboll is quality OC. He is not. That’s some pretty effusive praise of Brian Daboll… just from last season too 😂 EDIT: Not sure I buy you point about you being someone that doesn’t look for negatives… reading through your posts to find those quotes… you’re almost exclusively negative 😂

So after we put McDermott’s head on a stake… who do we replace him with that is guaranteed to deliver a Super Bowl?

You asked if I watched the game… I said I was there… it was an answer to your question. No idea why you’re being so hostile with me in particular. I’m not disputing that they *could* have lost the game. I disagree with where you’re placing the blame for the potential loss and am using evidence to support my stance. If they lost to Miami, it would not have been on the defense.

231 yards, multiple short fields, two offensive touchdowns and a 25% 3rd down conversion rate. They did hold them scoreless on their final drive… I was at the game in person and the stats tell you exactly what happened. They had trouble moving the ball and were aided by short fields. If we didn’t gift them the ball on the 18 and a defensive TD… it would’ve been FG and punts all day. They weren’t going to sustain drives - Josh Allen helped them out a ***** ton.

The defense played very well. The 3 turnovers by the offense (one for a defensive TD), big PR and kickoff out of bounds gave Miami fantastic opportunities. Miami had 231 total yards, 16 first downs and only converted 25% of their 3rd downs… that doesn’t equal 31 points 😂 Their scoring drives started on… MIA 40 (FG) Kick of OOB BUF 48 (FG) INT returned 49 YDS BUF 27 (FG) Punt returned 50 YDS BUF 18 (TD) INT returned 29 YDS BUF 30 (TD) Fumble Returned MIA 25 (TD) But yeah… defense sucked.

Awesome. Thank you for sharing! Shocking really, people on this message board complained about our D-Line rotation but didn’t look across the league to see what they were doing.

Lol meant tooled up - I mean anyone that says he's not smart because he turns the ball over.

And there is still the narrative out there that Josh Allen is a tooled up Neanderthal!

Guys I’ve been around are typically allowed to golf a few weeks post-op. It varies on the guy. Not a ton of concern.

Brock Purdy (most recently in NFL) and thousands of MLB pitchers have experienced this injury which has prevented them from being able to throw immediately after. Granted they’re all varying degrees… but you typically get shutdown right after for a few weeks. Even MLB pitchers who get the PRP injection end up being shut down for an extended period of time despite not receiving surgery. You’re right, we don’t know specifics and may never. Based on the initial information it was a pretty significant UCL strain… we know that it’s a fact. Just because he was playing doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt and it didn’t impact his ability to make throws. Josh was out there because 50% Josh is better than 100% Case Keenum. EDIT: Brasoban made two relief appearances in the Dominican Winter League before being shut down with elbow and forearm issues earlier this month, Padres General Manager A.J. Preller said Wednesday. In hopes of avoiding surgery, he received the elbow injection last week in San Diego. The 22-year-old will be re-evaluated in six to eight weeks. Meanwhile, MLB circulated Ohtani’s medical history. Sources from two of the teams say the report included a notation that Ohtani underwent a platelet-rich plasma injection on his right elbow in October. PRP has become popular as a conservative, nonsurgical treatment to address a wide variety of elbow issues. In some cases, such as with Zack Greinke in 2013 and Chris Sale in ’14, it treats inflammation and irritation. (Both pitchers missed only a few starts.) In other cases, such as strains or tears to the flexor tendon or ulnar collateral ligament, it is used instead of surgery. Yankees starter Masahiro Tanaka, for instance, underwent PRP therapy in 2014 to treat a small UCL tear and has pitched effectively since then. Other pitchers who tried PRP eventually needed Tommy John surgery, including Clay Buchholz and Drew Smyly this year. Tanaka did come back and pitch successfully, but it was 6-weeks from injection before he got back on the mound. Ohtani had a 2nd UCL sprain (2nd degree) after he received the PRP injection the winter prior. He received another PRP injection and was down for 11 weeks before throwing in a game again. Now that Allen is firmly on the road to recovery, a report from NFL insiders Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport has indicated that the injury was “worse” than initially reported. The QB suffered the injury all the way back in Week 14 but wasn’t forced to miss any time. “The extent of the injury, originally reported as a UCL sprain, was worse than most knew. But as long as Allen avoided reinjury, which he has to this point, doctors always believed he could avoid surgery and heal up during the offseason.” Anyone that I’ve ever come in contact with after receiving a PRP injection on a UCL injury has been shut down for at least 6 weeks before reevaluating them.

Practiced different forms of martial arts growing up… this always felt like second nature to me. I actually joked that Tua should take some classes in the off-season. I don’t get the hype around the guy, but happy he’s doing things to help prevent injury, because he is a nice guy.

Looks like simultaneous possession to me? Latimer has an arm around the ball all the way to the ground and when they roll over.

It was not a slam dunk. A neck fracture is an enormous risk… in the event something goes wrong and he can’t play… you’re likely the same guy on here saying “Why would they take a guy when there were serious injury questions?” Those are legitimate things you need to weigh as a GM… and every team viewed it pretty similar. This isn’t Madden with injuries turned off. The answer is hindsight.

Not just the Bills… every team. The Seahawks passed on him twice before selecting him lol. LJ Collier and Marquise Blair. This wasn’t a slam dunk like you’re making it out to be.

That’s not my point… you’re arguing Davis is great and upthread that Oliver is average. They graded out nearly identical. Sure, maybe he progresses and you’re right… but as of right now it wasn’t high-end by your definition.

Preseason tape... right. He played 40 snaps during the regular season. You can’t claim he’s a high-end pick. Through the first 5 games… finished with a 71 grade (Ed Oliver was 69). He played 26% of their defensive snaps… for reference Kaiir Elam (the guy you’re saying Buffalo didn’t play enough) played 57% of the snaps. Your opinion and perspective has been great so far… this is kind of straying far to prove a point.

Jordan Davis? What exactly did he do this year that makes him a high-end player? Did Jurgens even start a game this year? Nakobe Dean? I mean come on man…

I trust your judgement too. Who are your top 5? What do you consider elite?

Wait a minute… you jumped on Beane for trading the pick that became Justin Jefferson for Stefon Diggs… but Roseman is elite despite passing on Justin Jefferson for Jalen Reagor? Cody Ford instead of DK Metcalf but JJ Arcega Whiteside over DK Metcalf is ok? Hopefully Howie is elite, with his entire defense hitting FA, no cap space and Jalen Hurts about to get $50M/year. Luckily I think he is… but his missed are just as bad.
