What a horrible leader… everyone knows the best leaders let their emotions boil over publicly! Everyone knows bad leaders remain cool, calm and collected in the most difficult moments.

You have absolutely zero idea what you’re talking about. This is easily one of the most nonsensical takes on this thread. Please go on and tell me about your leadership background in a team environment… that way I can understand what makes you an expert?

You’re out of touch. Take it from someone who is in professional sports and dealing with the same things he’s dealing with every day.

Horrible. HORRIBLE take. He has the respect of his players because he doesn’t handle situations publicly.

Motor put in work in the off-season and looks much quicker than in the past. Josh spent the entire off-season addressing his weaknesses and by all accounts has improved them. They also have to figure out how to stop him at what he does best. Defense was actually very good the second half of the season… and finished as the 12th best defense in the league per DVOA, and by your logic, had a year to adjust to QBs and figure out their weaknesses.

This still doesn’t fix the issue of being a close contact to someone who is in the building that tested positive. The way the protocols are set up players could be wearing full hazmat suits and you can put the team masseuse in a bubble like Seinfeld… if they’re positive and near players, those players have to sit out. It obviously eliminates the chance of actually spreading the virus… but it doesn’t prevent players from missing days if they were a close contact. I’ve had to do damage control with staffing issues because we’re following pretty much identical protocols to what you laid out… it really doesn’t make a difference for availability This doesn’t prevent losing unvaccinated players.

How often does Sean McDermott drag his players in the media for anything? It’s not really his style.

They're incredibly effective but not as effective as we thought they were... amazing how things change in just a few months. Correct... strongly encourage them but do not make them. It's a fact they negotiated for personal choice on COVID-19 protocols... that's how it is set up for players. Get over it.

FDA approved as of yesterday... even if that's what they were waiting for and get the shot yesterday... it still wouldn't have solved this issue the team ran into today. I think the people yelling about how it's FDA approved are funny (you're not the only one who I've seen do it in this thread)... the FDA has approved 1 vaccine and they did that on Monday. It's not like it's been FDA approved for weeks, months or even days... it's been a day. It's like facts don't matter.

This makes me want to lock myself up in my house again and do nothing.

That’s not what I said… I said he could keep us on track during the regular season should Josh miss time. I do stand by the point that Trubisky is arguably the 2nd best QB in the division.

Obviously don’t want to lose either.. but this is kind of broad. If they’re out for the year… sure it’s an enormous blow. If Josh misses 4-5 games (lord, I hope not) Mitch is more than capable of winning 3-4 games in his absence. There’s a legitimate case to be made that Mitch is the 2nd best QB in the AFC East, behind the aforementioned Josh Allen.

Daboll seems to be throwing the word consistent around A LOT today. I wonder what he means by that...

Basham probably makes the team? Uhh we’re not cutting our second rounder… sorry.

I’ve argued he’s not a bust and provides an element in our defense that gives defensive coordinators fits… ***** WEIRD THAT THERE WAS A POLL OF DEFENSIVE COORDINATORS AND THEY SAID JUST THIS The I said upthread he should get 4 years and $70-$80M In my eyes he gets $70M over 4 years That, with the 5th year option at $12.5M makes it 5 years and $82.5M which $16.5M AAV… one of the higher paid linebackers but not paid like Leonard and Warner just got paid…

That’s also not an accurate portrayal of what I’ve expressed in the past… glad to see you’re still an expert in word gymnastics. My thoughts in the past and my post upthread, technically, do include me in your group of “everyone” though…

@mods I take offense to personal attacks. Ban this guy please. 😊

You’re right.

Edmunds will get between $70-$80M over 4 years. He won’t sniff a Leonard deal… just not the same caliber guy.

I believe I saw it was Diggs

Lmao I thought the same thing when I saw that 😂

How many run first QBs have won Super Bowls quarterbacking a team as compared to pass first QBs? Asking for a friend?

Uhhhh.... he should have predicted the future so much so that he took a risk by cutting a starting caliber defensive lineman in favor of the idea he MIGHT get to take two DE in the draft? Nobody though Basham would be there in RD2. Rousseau at 30 wasn't even a lock? Beane even said they weren't planning on taking 2 DE... the board just fell that way. You're asking him to be reckless building a roster... not predict the future.

🙃

There are two really loud Christian Wade factions… 1) The group that believes Christian Wade is a NFL running back right now and needs to make the roster and the Bills are doing him a disservice by keeping him on the practice squad. 2) The group that believes Christian Wade is not good at all and will never be good and is wasting a spot for someone else and they’re tired of hearing about him (thanks group #1). Both sides are out of touch and don’t understand the purpose of keeping Christian Wade around.
