I try my best not to. Unfortunately a big part of my job is putting out (metaphorical) fires all day.

My output goes down significantly in the last 25% of my workday too, so I can empathize. I don't have millions of folks watching me live though.

With the reports about Lawson and Phillips going ballistic towards an Eagles' fan (initially reported he was making death threats, but new footage shows that likely was not the case), I feel like this is just more fuel to the fire that McDermott doesn't have this team focused and prepared for the adversity of playing these big games. The team is sloppy (not excusing the awful refereeing though) and that's falling on the HC.

The perfect game against NE was the peak, but the credit really goes to Daboll.

I’d be fine with either, but I think Coleman has a skillset that will directly complement Allen, he has real WR1 upside.

Beane wasn't even here for that draft.

It's possible but I can't see the Bills investing that much into WR while McDermott is still the head coach. Not enough left for McD's defense to get walked all over whenever it matters.

Tee Higgins is going to be offered silly money, even after being banged up all season.

Give me Keon Coleman, he's the guy who I realistically would want given the draft position. All of them are excellent choices though.

About .001 seconds after the Big Bang.

Ideally both but that seems unlikely. I have no idea what AJE's market is going to look like. He's a good player but he's probably at the high end of those 3rd tier DEs. Floyd will probably command a biggish contract on a short deal.

Way to put words in my mouth and come out of the gate aggressive. Great conversation starter, bro. You think that if we have an offensive head coach we still go Boogie Basham over Creed Humphrey? I kind of doubt it. Beane is a decent GM, who has focused on signing/drafting defensive players because that's what the head coach wants and believes will make the team successful. It's not a crazy concept.

McDermott's scheme requires two all pro DEs, a pro bowl DT, 2 star safeties, an all pro LB, and a lockdown corner to function well guys. Give him a break, the injuries are just too much.

Beane would stay. I'm fairly convinced a lot of the early round misses is Beane reaching for the needs that McDermott is perceiving on the team.

It gets less likely with each passing season. The truth is that coaches with franchise QBs are going to look way better than coaches who don't have one. It's the single most important position in all of sports and probably the strongest correlate for success in all of sports. McDermott has one and isn't maximizing the opportunity. That's all there is to it. It doesn't mean he's an awful coach, he's just not the guy for this franchise anymore.

I mean, Brady was universally praised for the last two weeks gameplans, but all right. I certainly think it helped. Do you think Dorsey wasn't an issue at all?

It's like he's not ready for these obvious questions from the media and gives the worst answer possible. Sort of like how he is at high pressure situations in game, I'm seeing some parallels.

Those were the tears of Bills fans from around the globe.

The HC and his massively praised defense got not one, but two opportunities to stop the Eagles and win the game, and they failed spectacularly. He even had the gall to kneel down and not even give Allen the chance to win it in regulation. Blaming anything else is just projection.

Why wait? Plenty of folks are doing that now.

Because McDermott's whole defensive philosophy seems to break down when he faces a QB who knows what he's doing (or Mac Jones, apparently). Rushing everybody scares bad QBs because they panic. It just sharpens the good ones. McDermott can't see the difference or he's too stubborn to admit he's wrong. Whatever it is, I'm sick of it.

So not evidence at all, but conjecture and subjective reading of his play? Got it. You. Definitely you. When has Diggs publicly complained about the state of the team? He addressed the media last week and dismissed his brother's claims. I don't know what else you want him to do besides disown him or something. Well why are you on here griping about it if you know he's going to be gone next season? You should be celebrating.

I don't even understand what you're trying to say here. The coordinator change certainly has helped.

You're right and you've articulated something that I didn't, but I think can still be contributed to the new coordinator change. Diggs may be running harder, longer developing routes now that he's not the focus of the short game like he was with Dorsey. That would account for needing more rests.

My explanation is that the Bills have different positional groupings for different situations, and we have a new offensive coordinator who may be utilizing those groupings differently than in the past. You're making the claim, the burden is on you to provide supporting evidence. If you're only evidence that he quit the team is "Well he wasn't out there on 3rd down!?" which can be easily explained away from positional groups and an offensive coordinator change, then you don't have much of an argument and you sound ridiculous.
