I agree with what you're saying, I'm just trying to be optimistic since we know McDermott isn't going anywhere for at least this season. The Bills are an excellent team stuck behind a dynasty team. It's so Buffalo for that to happen.

Sounds right. Despite all the doom and gloom, the Bills have arguably the best "put it all on him" QB in the league and a history of good to elite defenses. Give Allen some more weapons to play with, Brady can implement his system, and keep the defense at around the same level and you've got a contender.

You'd be crazy to argue that McDermott is on a similar level as Reid, I won't pretend otherwise. I was on the "let's move on from McD" bandwagon for most of the season, and I'm still kind of there (purely from a philosophical perspective that Offensive HCs are inherently better choices in the modern NFL). I'm not going to pretend that McDermott is a bottom tier coach though, just because he hasn't done it doesn't mean he can't.

The Bills are the closest team to the Chiefs and they have been since 2020. If the Bills were in the NFC it would have been Bills v Chiefs superbowls 3 of the last 4 seasons. It's unfortunate that the perception of the Chiefs is so much more favorable than the Bills even though the true skill gap is much tighter than most will admit.

Saying the Bills are comically unlucky is like saying the sky is blue but... We are so unlucky to get good at the same time as Reid got Mahomes. The sad part is how damn close we are to the Chiefs in playing ability, but will never get that kind of recognition.

The Sabres are the sacrifice we need to keep Terry Pegula busy and not meddling in the football operations. Night and day difference between orgs.

It's really depressing seeing these kind of headlines over and over. It's not hard to not hit people. It's not hard to not hurt your loved ones in a blatant, traumatizing fashion. Hold yourself to a higher standard.

I don't know how to feel. This seems like a good hire on paper, and it'll be good to get some more outside perspectives working with Allen.

As much of a joke as he was here, he's not a bad defensive mind. His problem was he tried way too hard to pivot away from Schwartz's defense without the right personnel

That's just gross. I'm not saying you should go out and crap all over your QB at your new job, but man, you don't have to praise him like that either. Spineless (or he's okay with the allegations, which obviously worse).

I don't see anything surprising about this list. Makes sense, just get those receivers before you do anything else.

It's not a meaningless stat, but I fail to see how it has much (if anything) to do with the OC. Wouldn't the blame fall to the positions coach well before Brady?

This point is probably understated in the NFL world. A world beater at TE is such a mismatch advantage that other teams need to completely change the way the opposing defense has to cover. It stops teams from playing "their game". Allen hasn't had that yet. DKx2 is a pretty great combo though, if Kincaid keeps developing they may be a force.

For better or worse this does give us a real look into the coaching staff (McDermott primarily) and organization's mindset. Inside the organization they clearly don't believe that they're losing due to coaching.

Yeah! Let's get retreads instead like Vic Fangio or Arthur Smith!

I guess OP falls into the loud mouth category then under your assessment. You're probably right though, the average NFL fan doesn't care, but there's enough screeching for it to be a commentary.

I genuinely don't understand the energy or outcry at ~30 seconds of showing Taylor Swift in broadcast. I don't listen to her music and I have no skin in the game here, but it is bizarre how worked up some folks are getting.

They're both young up and coming position coaches who have gotten a lot of interest from other teams. I'd rather have up and coming potential than Vic Fangio and Arthur Smith or McDaniels. "More of the Same" by the way is a top 5-8 team in the NFL. I know we're all sour about the way it ended again but there are 14 other teams who didn't best the Chiefs either.

I don't think Dunne is lying about what he's reported, but it's clear that it's a personal vendetta.

3 times the defense had less than 2 minutes on the clock left with the lead and they blew it. Yes, let's blame the defense. I'm not willing to put anymore of the team on Allen then what's already on his shoulders. The guy is the Bills, and jabronis like this want to run him out of town because he was just SUPER ALLEN and not SUPER SUPER ALLEN that last possession. I wish I could live in a world so black and white. If the most scoring TD QB in the damn league isn't "doing enough" then maybe we should look around at the other 21 guys on the field. It must be easy to have such a binary vision of sports.

The end result hasn't been what we wanted, but let's not pretend the Bills haven't been one of the most successful franchises of the last 5 years.

Jones is the only one who I think we have to get back. Everyone else is replacable. Epenesa might be nice if you can get him for a value. Jackson is a good depth piece if he's around 2-3 mil. Please, for god's sake, let Cam Lewis walk and never be on this team again. He's a completely failed obsession with this coaching staff.

Imagine having so little going on in your life that you think playing a song in a stadium is embarrassing.

We have the 1 seed if McDermott didn't let the Eagles, NE, and Denver walk down and score after Josh gives the go ahead TD. Blaming the QB when he's consistently the best player on the field is convenient and lazy.

Poyer and Hyde were both budget guys who hadn't done much in their careers until they got to Buffalo. I have no doubt they'll figure it out.
