McDermott was selected the best coach for this season by CBS: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2025-nfl-survivor-squad-building-a-32-man-juggernaut-with-one-player-or-coach-from-every-single-team/ "McDermott's Bills win the division essentially every year. Since Josh Allen broke out in 2020, they have won it five years in a row. He has recently come out of his former conservative shell and been willing to show aggression in his decision-making, and even when undermanned his defenses tend to over-perform their talent level. The ultimate success has yet to come for him in the playoffs, but the Bills keep knocking on the door."

Helas, it was already posted here this morning:

Yep, you're right. I had to look it up: https://www.patspulpit.com/2024/8/28/24230532/patriots-2024-nfl-practice-squad-explainer# [apologies for the source] "With that as the basis, the current practice squad rules can be broken down as follows: Players with unlimited number of accrued seasons: max. 6* Players with two or fewer accrued seasons: max. 10* Players with no accrued seasons/Players who were active less than 9 games in their only accrued season: max. 16 *the combination of those two categories may not exceed 10 players"

From google AI: "Yes, NFL practice squad players who are on a winning team's roster at the time of the Super Bowl victory do receive a Super Bowl ring, though the team has the discretion to provide them with a ring of lesser value compared to the active roster players. These players are integral to the team's success during the season, and their contributions are recognized with a ring, symbolizing their participation in the championship win. "

Or Greg Joseph, who was awesome for the 49ers before being cut for Jake Moody, who is horrendous.

As I recall, it was mostly the backups who played game 4. Starters played maybe a quarter in game 2 and a half or the first series into the 3rd quarter in game 3.

Agreed. How it was in the early '80's: After Game 1: cut to 70 by Tuesday After Game 2: cut to 60 by Tuesday After Game 3: cut to 50 by Tuesday After Game 4: cut to 45 by Tuesday I had something to look forward to each week.

Not...going...to...fall...for...it! 😅 it. Last time here when someone asked what was your preferred gameday food, I was accused of humble bragging.

Wait...I thought you lived near Erie?

Why settle if he did not do it? He's not rich...yet.

Well, the Bills are a Super Bowl team this year, at least by some accounts. We are favored to win it by ESPN's football power index. I think there difference was Hairston's case was known by BBB in advance of the draft and no criminal charges were filed, vs. with Araiza, we were taken by surprise and no criminal decision had been made.

It's not a precedent set by Goodell; it's in the CBA between the NFL and NFLPA.

Let's wait until all the facts come out. I think there's more to the story. The police and prosecutors initially throw everything at the wall and see what sticks. And the police already let him go after talking to him. He is also tweeting openly every few hours, unlike a man in hiding. Could be self defense...or not. Not trying to minimize this, but something smells fishy.

If only this topic hadn't been posted already. .

No, thank *YOU*. 🍻 I have done it myself, but I try hard to bite my tongue now. It's hard, because it feels personal (at least with me).
