Early is an understatement. How do you possibly judge a pick 4 games into their rookie season? This reminds me of when 80% of this board thought Bernard was a bust.

Honestly, I think the Bills need to implement an entirely different defensive philosophy, but that will never happen with McDermottt here. Like everyone else, he has his pros & cons. Great leadership, loved by Josh/players, USUALLY well prepared, gets maximum out of DBs, built solid trenches on both sides, and great at making half time adjustments. Cons are his defense is small & injury prone, refuses to stray from defensive philosophy, tendency to start mediocre vets over talented rookies, and horrible clock management (maybe the worst I’ve ever seen.) I hate to say it to the McDermott/Beane haters but they are here unless they have multiple losing seasons in a row. If Josh wants him here then that is all that matters. Bills fans have to live & die and die with this defense. I hate certain aspects of it, but I still support it. But he changed the entire culture here and I love him for it. But know this. IT COULD BE MUCH WORSE. Don’t think just because u have a franchise QB that it’s the only reason Buffalo is successful. I posted this in another thread. See the offensive line and coaching Joe Burrow has to deal with… (I know this is Browning, but this is the STARTING line) 😬😳

Imagine if Josh Allen had to deal with THIS kind of coaching and roster. ( I think we really take the front office for granted sometimes.)

I’ve always felt like his skill set translated much better for college football, but most definitely could’ve been good in the pros if he had the will to do so.

Still one of the most entertaining college players I’ve ever seen. They can’t take his NCAA accomplishments from him.

It’s impossible to answer this question without knowing the availability of Lamar Jackson. I will revisit this thread with a more clear answer when that information is revealed.

I just don’t understand what a defensive player is supposed to do.

I’m loving it as a Bills fan. Woody Johnson is doing great 👍

Their only hope is getting an established QB that they didn’t already ruin or a historically good defense and running game like Rex Ryan.

I remember when Nick Folk hit the game winner during the Cowboys Monday night game. Absolutely crushed my teenage heart. Can’t believe he’s still making kicks and career longs to boot (no pun intended)

I’m not getting into a debate on Arch Mannings NFL prospects. My point is they are going to ruin whatever highly touted QB prospect they draft with their top 3 pick NEXT* year.

Doesn’t matter. Jets front office would’ve ruined Tom Brady if he went there. A terribly run organization from ownership on down. It’s never going to change. It hasn’t in 50 years. Watch them draft Arch Manning and run him into the ground by year 2.

Fields is terrible. Better off starting Tyrod, but you just know the Jets are going to tank and ruin another great QB prospect.

IDC what anyone says. Those Miami uniforms are 🔥🔥🔥

I’ve seen Terrell Bernard make plenty of game changing plays.

I’m not knocking your post, but it’s crazy how high Allen has set the bar for himself. When being on pace for over 40 total TDs is not considered impressive is wild. That’s basically what we’ll get this year which is almost the same as every other. Total TDs in the low 40s with about 1/3 of them on the ground. Basically an MVP year every year.

Reading this board you would think Tre White has been a massive failure. I always wondered if I wasn’t picking up something ? Because he’s looked pretty solid to me. Actually, I’ve been pleasantly surprised.

You aren’t missing much.

Garbage time? It was still a game well into the 4th quarter.

Tie was the way to go. They needed like 17 yards to get in the end zone. You’re just giving the game up to Dallas at that point because you have about a 10% chance of making it. Go for the tie as it might really matter come playoff time. It’s better than losing.

One of the most bizarre games I’ve ever seen. A 40 - 40 tie

Absolutely terrible non-call. What a joke

Glad I stayed up for this one !

People take regular season wins for granted. Look at Baltimore. They’re in danger of losing their division possibly because of a sloppy start. A win IS a win. Getting the 1 seed is priority #1 and you do that by having the best regular season record possible.

He is by far the most impressive player this year. Consistent as hell. A lot of Allen’s success comes from having a balanced running attack to lean on. 1st down is so important and having a back that can rip a 6 yard run out of the gate really helps a drive’s success.
