Yeah, the whole thing has got me oddly nervous 😬 I thought that Josh would improve, but frankly not to this degree, the guy is lights out, and I like it 😁👍,
Go Bills!!!

As a starter, Josh had no need to during the raiders game, the play calling was very good, and the raiders by and large had no answers for the passing game.
Go Bills!!!

That might be true...but I don’t think that stops him from taking the jobs
Oh, he may very well take a HCing job, it just won’t be with the jets,

It’s still early in the year and a lot can happen but the signs of the Bills offensive production very positive. If The Bills can win the AFC East, it’s all but certain that Daboll is gone.
I also think that Daboll will have a much better chance than Eric Bienemy or whatever upcoming offensive coordinator will emerge.
Over the span of 3 years (if all continues) Daboll will have developed a very raw traits-based QB into an up-and-coming NFL superstar. Bienemy who works alongside with a HOF playcaller, can’t take as much claim.
QB is likely going to be the #1 priority of any team who fires their coach, and what Daboll did with Allen has to be a tremendous selling point
I think NYJ is definitely a possibility. Daboll might be a shot to start from scratch with the top college QB prospect in football.
Daboll’s not dumb like his buddy JMD who stayed in NE when they dangled the HC carrot in front of his face (it’s going to Belichick’s kid when the old man retires). If he gets a HC shot, he’s taking it
Daboll will fail if he signs with the jets, like all HC who sign there do.

The Bills would not be as good as they are now, and the jests would have a slightly better team, it is really that simple.

Well hes not gonna go to the jets so there is that. Best spot is Houston. Time will tell.
BD would severely tarnish his reputation of being a brilliant mind by signing with he jets, even for many millions guaranteed, the jets and the WFT are the black holes of disappointment for any HC, I suspect The Pegulas will give him a hefty bonus/raise and we will have two assistant head coaches.
Go Bills!!!

Well, going into week four, our defense is now set up the way it was intended to be on week one, and all participants are “reasonably healthy”. I am confident that McD & LF know what the problems were and have a remedy in place. White, not wearing the red jersey in practice, Milano, hammy, Edmunds, shoulder, and Norman, hammy, all being ready to go will pay dividends on the field at “Roomba” stadium in Vegas. I got a good feeling about this game!
Go Bills!!!

Yes and there were several to approach and zero lawsuits.
its a dead end. The quality law firms have passed on this concept for obvious reasons. So have the ambulance chasers
This has been a fun convo, but I guess it needs to rest for the time being ... 👍

the results were made public. After that any lawyer could have gotten more in discovery. So why didn’t they sue? Easy pickins, no?
There have been countless opportunities forever for what you suggest to have happened. Yet it hasn’tWithout “standing” a random lawyer can’t sue, a lawyer would need someone directly effected by bounty gate to hire said lawyer to speak in their behalf, all it needs is a disaffected player to take the step, then game on.

The jets are an incredibly poorly run operation, they have set up
two highly drafted players to be injured, amongst their other really bad personnel issues, that tire fire gif is needed about now...

Bounytgate was public proof of a coordinated effort to injury opponents.
The plaintiffs bar yawned. There's no money in it or it would have happened years ago.
Again an internal investigation, controlled by the league... so what else would one expect as an outcome?

Lots of quality law firms out there always looking for a field day and countless suddenly unemployable players over the decades, yet no field day has ever appeared.
Even Bountygate yielded no such field day. There's no legal case for what you are suggesting. History has proven this. Player accept the risk of playing and the league has rules with known penalties for players and coaches.
There's no letter coming...
Never say never, what is considered normal today isn’t so at a later date. That and bounty gate was an internal investigation iirc.

In most states, worker's compensation laws protect employers from many types of legal actions. I doubt any law suit will deliver the response that most of us would like to see. It will take internal action by the league. In addition, the players are ultimately responsible for doing the things on the field. It will take some fines or suspensions to get players to speak out about the type of direction that Williams is giving to his players. A responsible owner would send Williams to the unemployment line but as we all know, the JESTS have no such owner.
But when ones employer representative advocates/encourages such behavior that employer is then culpable.

I agree. He's constantly running all over in the middle of the field and accomplishing nothing.
You two are seriously confused, Edmunds isn’t going anywhere, the guy was coming off a shoulder injury at the same time Milano was coming off a hamstring injury, both after being out for a game, context fellas, context... talk about looking at players with blinders on... nuthin but luv,
Go Bills!!!

If only the Jets could have seen this coming. Who wouldn't think it was a good idea to hire a recently fired head coach from a dysfunctional division rival.
Just a guess, but maybe another dysfunctional division rival...😁

A leopard does not change its spots, as it were.
He is a potential law suit waiting to happen, and it will involve the league office/owners, being the owners are the league office... a quality law firm would have a field day tracing his activities, and a suddenly unemployable former player due to wrongful injury may make a call to such a firm. Even a letter from a law firm on behalf of one or more players to the commissioner might prompt his exit from the league. One can only hope such a Letter is sent.

My reference was to being "lucky" was about the original hiring of Beane as GM in 2017 after Whaley was fired. Beane's resume didn't really suggest that he'd be as astute at team building as he's been. His background as assistant GM in Carolina was mostly involving personnel and logistics, yet he and the people who answer to him have proven to have good eyes for talent. That suggests that Beane's real strength is finding good people -- like scouts, coaches, etc -- and letting them do their thing but it wouldn't necessarily be a talent that would necessarily stand out from the experience he'd had before he became the Bills GM.
I would say that capacity to identify and hire good people and let them do what they do well is a particularly high quality skill set that one wants in a GM or in fact anyone running any multifaceted operation, it shows that Beane knows what needs to be accomplished, and those results speak for themselves. From the little I have read, Beane seems to have been considered a high quality football operations mind league wide prior to being hired by Pegula.

Exactly. IIRC, the Steelers turned from perennial doormat to perennial contender back in the late 1960s when Dan Rooney took over control of the team from his father-- and that was a decade or more before free agency and the salary cap and building a good team was a lot harder. Conversely, the Washington team has pretty much been trash since Snyder took over. Infamously, Robert Kraft bought the Patriots, acquired Bill Belichick as HC and chief personnel guy, and let him do his thing for 20+ years. That worked out pretty well.
An owner needs to be committed to winning but recognize that he's not a football expert and cede the major decisions over to a GM/HC who knows what he's doing. The owner's job is to find the best football guy to build a team -- and not be afraid of sending that guy packing if he turns out not to be the right guy -- like Jimmy Haslem did to John Dorsey in Cleveland.
I think Pegula's experience with Rex Ryan made him realize that he wasn't up to running an NFL team, so it easy for him to give Beane full control of the team after he fired Brandon, which turned out to be a great move for the Bills and their fans going forward. Sometimes it's just plain better to be lucky than good.
I hear ya, But I would also say Pegula learned, and that made his decision an easier one to get right this time around, and the results of his decision are pretty darn evident, at least at this point. Pegula didn’t become a Billionaire because he was unable to learn.

Next man up, expanded Practice squads are there for a reason, isolate the infected players and staff and move on, no excuses play the game with the players available, that is the solution like it or not.
Should we trade for JJ ?

oh, and no, a this season rental would be okay but the cost would frankly be disruptive.
