Cook is averaging 5.1 yards per carry.

Factually, anyone who doesn't want to fire Sean McDermott is one of three things: 1) fine with not winning a Super Bowl, or 2) of the belief that McDermott will be the first coach in NFL history to win a Super Bowl after being with the same QB for > 5 years, or 3) willing to trade Josh Allen. cc: Pegula, Terry

To me, it seems like people are finally waking up and realizing. As I've said many times, no analysis of Sean McDermott should include any comparison to previous Bills coaches. He should be compared ONLY to league-wide peers who have elite QBs.

I didn't say anything about up to this point. The schedule in totality is one of the hardest in the NFL.

This possibility just goes to show how incredibly influential schedule and luck are. For the Bills, this season has been a remarkable combination of injuries, bad luck, a brutal schedule, and legendary mistakes.

You absolutely need to throw in the Texans and almost guarantee them a spot. Their schedule is advantageous to say the least and they are very hot.

Probably, because we'd still be very much alive even if we lose at Philadelphia and Kansas City to go to 6-7. But if we lose this Sunday, *****'s over.

I'm not spending the time to try to dig it up, but didn't we realize this at one point last year or the year before as well?

With the distinct possibility that Miami will be in a position to rest starters in the final week of the season, I'd definitely stay away from this analogy. There was more than one cheeseburger game! That was the year I started on the buffalobills.com message board. And literally destroyed my teenage bedroom when we lost to the Steelers

It's absurd to still be thinking about winning the division. If anything, you should be hoping the Dolphins run away with the AFCE and are locked into the 2 seed going into week 18 so they rest against us. In that scenario, Bills probably just need to beat Jets, Chargers, Patriots, Dolphins backups, and one of Eagles/Chiefs/Cowboys in order to make it.

Sorry all, I'm not a subscriber and it opened up just fine for me? Here is the actual interview on which the article is based:

Great read! Frazier even recently visited with Tre'Davious White.

Interesting that the take on here is much different than what it is on Twitter. On Twitter, everyone is rejoicing and for some reason thinking this was a great press conference and Diggs diffused everything. I don't have the same take on this that those on Twitter do. Towards the end, I think Stef is saying that he is unhappy, but it doesn't matter because there's nothing that can be done about it (because of untradable contract). He's saying he's unhappy but remaining professional.

I have no effing idea. NYJ 17 BUF 23 With NYJ driving to score a TD and win at the end.

A few may recall me writing this in 2020, at which point I was universally condemned, but now most fans would agree! McDermott is a solid playoff coach, but not a championship coach, I fear... So Bills fans are like, "We're 8-3! Enjoy it!" But I see a frustrating period of good-but-not-good-enough on the horizon for the foreseeable future. And that's depressing. I am absolutely not of the "Hey, it's Buffalo; at least we're winning" type of mentality. It's championships or nothing. That is the life goal. And with McDermott signing a long-term contract, I almost feel as hopeless as I would if we sucked. If we sucked, at least there would be hope of striking coaching gold on an imminent hire. In this case, though, I feel like we'll just be a solid playoff team for the next many years, but not elite enough to win it all. So, yeah, LAMP! Suck it 🙂

I don't know, but apparently, per Carucci, it makes McDermott late for his postgame press conference all the time.

Yep, and now he only appears with Bills team employee Sal Capaccio

Slightly incorrect -- he was suspended for divulging lineup information from practice. Brown, Tasker, and Sal are Bills employees, so they are state radio for sure, but otherwise WGR hosts are not Bills employees and do criticize the team openly.

I think you mean MSNBC or Fox. CNN actually grades out as the most fair network

Vic Carucci on SiriusXM immediately after the firing said that Pegula meets with McDermott after the games before McDermott talks to the media. Vic said that McDermott is feeling the heat.

He talks around it. Every time it was brought up this year, everyone talked around it. They didn't actually work together like they have in the past.

I was thoroughly reading through the thread to see if anyone suggested this, because I was going to. If the rumors around discontent with McDermott are true, and if Brady can show that he specifically has the answers to unlock Allen and this offense, it would be a wise long term move for Pegula to lock in the offensive mind at HC; otherwise, we'll get 1-2 years max with Brady and then have to start over again.

I will keep banging my head against this wall until someone notices:

No.

Tasker is an embarrassment. Yesterday he said the Diggs offseason stuff was no issue at all and reprimanded a fan for being concerned about it. If it was no issue at all, McDermott wouldn't have been "very concerned" and sent Diggs home. I mean, come on. There's being a homer and then there's completely drowning in the Kool-Aid and Tasker is definitely the latter.
