So the bye "week" is actually 9 days off?! Just mind boggling. Guess we'll all see on Sunday how it works out.
Following their routine schedule

Right. The “point” if you want to call it that people here and elsewhere are now clinging to is things like the WWE and NFL are both classified as “entertainment” or some such similar definition. Except they’re not. Not nowhere in the various laws that govern legal sports gambling will you see the NFL and the WWE as equivalent or in the same class. They are distinct and what you can bet on is subject to various state laws, not one overarching federal law.
basically some salty fan after the Eagles game went on truth social and scrolled around too much and this is what we get here now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Truth Social?

if I was his lawyer, I would roll tape from this season and argue there is no way he is physically capable of getting close enough to this "pregnant person" to assault her.

I agree. I get feeling that Pegula-land is in disarray and that a major organizational change is too much to handle right now. Barring a total, locker room-losing collapse, McDermott will return next year to blow more close games.
Agreed, plus my perception is that the Pegulas are more into keeping the status quo barring some form of gross misconduct

Listening to Joe Marino yesterday on WGR, he stated he believes that b/c the Pegulas have "too much on their plate", he's afraid McDermott will be retained unless there is an internal revolt led by the team leaders. He did not offer a caveat as to whether he'd move off that opinion should the Bills make the playoffs.

Rep. Mark Green (R-TN), Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, says the guidance is an insult to agents begging for more resources to combat the illegal immigration crisis at the border.
“Border Patrol agents are crying out for tools and policies that will help them do their jobs, but are being handed manuals on misgendering instead,” Green told The Daily Wire. “This makes a mockery of those who are doing their best to keep our borders secure.” ......“I’m sure, however, Americans will be comforted to know that those agents are now being trained on which pronouns these bad actors prefer.”
Looking forward to seeing Mayorkas squirm while getting grilled by Committee questions.

I hear that Taron Johnson and Rapp are back, which is amazing news for me. Jackson can wait a few weeks,
Johnson and Rapp both limited as of yesterday's injury report. Per Sal this AM, Johnson has yet to clear the league's concussion protocol.

I feel ridiculously positive about this game. No rhyme or reason to it.
Allen has been under a microscope all season, and there is a bit of a double-standard nationally in terms of how they cover him vs. the other top QB's. I think this is gonna be a "shut up" kind of game for him.
To your point about the double standard:

Nothing about this matchup makes me feel like the Bills have a chance. And I’m not even sure crazier things have happened.
That's it ..... why should they even bother playing the game?

Sure, it's nice that he's back, but he shouldn't have ever left.... where did he go?
IMO it's too late in the season for this... the time to show up was week 1.
Sure, maybe they have a strong finish, but if and that's a big IF, they make the playoffs, they'll have to go on the road and then all we'll hear in the off-season is that they need to get home field advantage.... blah blah blah... it's tiresome.
I'm happy he's "back", but all is not forgiven.
I’m fairly certain Allen won’t be asking for your forgiveness.

Having a tantrum and threatening to not report to the team doesn't strike you as concerning? I guess in these situations, perception is reality. To me, Diggs seems more concerned with Diggs and he's the only guy on the team bringing these types of issues to the locker room.
Again, I will reiterate, McDermott has an issue handling the personalities in the locker room. I guess you can believe the PR spin after the fact but to me, it must be serious if there has to be a PR spin put on it in the first place. 🤷
What tantrum? Hitting the boiling point during a terrible season ending loss after a tumultuous season for the entire organization?
Please post a link documenting a threat to not report to the team. He missed one workout before TC and talked it out with the team.
If Diggs was only concerned with Diggs, he'd be bitching about targets which has not done ... and he'd had already forced his way out.
And I'm not following the Quinton Spain link .... bizarre
Your take sounds right out of the Nick Wright, sh*t-stirring playbook

Ken Dorsey strikes me as the guy who's always angry at work no matter what the situation. I know that the overall mood at OBD is pretty poor right now. McDermott has not been great at managing the personalities on the team. His loyalty to people he has worked with prior has stagnated the team. The situation with Elam comes to mind. Rather than develop young talent, McDermott wants a guy he's coached before or one of his friends in the league coached them or they had dinner together or whatever the case. He is after like minded people because he really struggles with people outside of his comfort zone.
Daboll was a big personality in the building. He built a close relationship with the best player on the team. For better or worse, he was creative. I think he related to the guys in the room better. Guys wanted to play for him. I mean the 13 second Bills had a Super Bowl winning offense. That side of the ball was absolutely unbelievable for most of that year. And I don't think McDermott had a single thing to do with it. And that was an issue.
Diggs has become a toxic and polarizing figure on the team. The mellow drama that has played out with him this offseason and still continues into this week, should have been shut down immediately. But now his brother has created a rift between the franchise quarterback and not just his #1 receiver, but who he considers his best friend. And anyone who's ever held a job knows, these kinds of incidents at work definitely create tension. Everyone will have their own opinion about the situation. And the incidents with Josh on the sidelines. Are those truly harmless interactions? While a great player, I would not think that these would go unchecked by the head coach. The reports this offseason that Diggs may not even report for training camp eluded to a rift between coaches and players, Diggs clearly the figurehead in this situation.
Fraizer was fired. Statistically, coached a top 5 defense in Buffalo. Assistant head coach. A highly respected coach and human being through out the NFL. Coaches typically don't step away from a position where they have been successful. The way it was presented outside of OBD, to me, hints at a power struggle that happened shortly after the end of the season and one that was lost by Fraizer. In my opinion, McDermott not bringing on a new defensive coordinator was a mistake, but it was never about who he felt could coach the defense successfully. It was about power within the organization.
In the press conference, the mentioning of what a great relationship he has with Terry is what should worry all of us the most. He's basically saying to the media, don't bother asking about my status with the company or if I'll be fired, because he knows he won't be. Anyone that questions McDermott has been steamrolled right out of the building. Two very influential coaches in two consecutive offseasons. He puts Ken Dorsey, his guy, in as offensive coordinator. He no longer has an assistant head coach or a defensive coordinator. He already had a great deal of influence when it came to the draft and personnel decisions off the field.
This team is more McDermott's than it ever has been. These press conferences will become more and more unsettled if the team continues to flounder because he has truly run out of scapegoats. Talking about "what's wrong with Josh" might be foreshadowing to who's going to bear the burden of McDermott's failures as a coach and leader this offseason.
Re: Diggs, the only “mellow drama” are posts like this. All the dude wants to do is win and retire as a Bill. And he shut down the chatter around his brother’s idiotic Tweets.

I don't care who the OC is, or how "bad" your team is, if you're making $40 mil A YEAR (6 months, really), and you're playing a game, and you're not happy just to go out there and play, you need professional, mental help.
Super hot take

To most of us fans, it’s pretty clear what the issue is. Allen needs to get his head on straight and figure it out. He has the physical tools to be one of the greatest QBs to play the game.
The NFL changes and moves to play players differently. Most teams now play 2 high shell all the time. Allen has been struggling this year as teams play him differently. He needs to seek help figuring it out.
I was being entirely sarcastic
re: the bolded - another overly simplistic take.
He's miserable bc he's been emasculated as a QB/athlete and it's affecting his psyche and his play. Removing the superior elements of his game & his strengths is like putting blinders on a thoroughbred.
But sure, he just needs to "figure it out"

Of course, it really is that easy ....

Is the risk reward of firing McDermott worth it? I don't see a coach out there that is worth the risk of firing McDermott. At the very least he has made the Bills relevant the last 5/6 years. Something the city was craving/needed.
Who is out there that would truly make a difference as HC.
IMO theres only 1 coach, and thats a trade with the rams for McVay.
wow, that's a super high bar
