No HC and staff would plan for their first year to NOT be a transitional year, then the next 2 be transitional years lol. ”we are going to be competitive year one, then tear it all down in year 2” is not a plan the owner signs up for lol.

Belichick’s cultural dynasty of like 19 AFCE titles, 6 championships and 8 straight AFCCG’s fell apart into a top 3 pick and everybody fired in about 3 years. If it can happen to the greatest NFL coach ever, McD and co will almost certainly bellyflop their way out of Buffalo when Josh retires.

Yeah so Stafford was much better in LA lol He instantly won a Super Bowl there. Jared Goff has puked in the postseason with maybe the most talented team in football 2 years running. This take is crazy to me. If we are living in a world where Wentz or Jameis or Mariota or Brandon Weeden or Fields or Trubisky are drafted by McD, some of them end up being great QBs? No chance. 0 percent.

I’m fully convinced there’s a universe where Josh Allen retires as the undisputed GOAT QB. He unfortunately got saddled with pale Ron Rivera and Gettlelite as his supporting cast.

Can I ask what made us different from Cleveland and NYJ in those days? we were fully on the draft a QB, watch him fail, fire everybody carousel for about 18 years until Allen got here The greatest trick McBeane ever played was convincing the Bills fandom that this era is all because of them

Remember when Goff was considered a negative asset in the trade for Matt Stafford. I like Jared, but he is who he is.

I agree with largely all of this. The QB himself is 90% personally responsible for their own development and success. the old “how would Brady and Peyton have done if they were drafted in the opposite situations” question was easy to answer. Both may have had a slightly different number of Super Bowls, but both would have still been all time QBs Darnold is about to go back to being a backup after spending 2 seasons with two of the best offensive minds in the NFL who couldn’t hide his flaws forever. Sam Darnold was never going to be good. Seems like a nice kid so it sucks, but that’s the way it goes.

There's something fun about watching teams fail to pair HC/GM/QBs together and then be surprised everyone isn't on the same page.

2 seed Bills facing the 7 seed Chiefs in Buffalo in WC weekend. What's your confidence level at

Yeah for real. like I know we all want to believe the wicked witch is dead. But I wouldn’t think our season is over at 0-2. It’s not over until they are mathematically eliminated. Is anyone gonna feel good if the Chiefs limp in as a 7th seed coming to Buffalo in the WC round?

They started 2-2 and got blown out on primetime by the Alex Smith Andy Reid chiefs that year. Beat the Seahawks in the SB 2014.

I know we talk all the time between good orgs and bad orgs when it comes to appearing buttoned up and professional but that’s outrageous. When the time comes when Josh doesn’t have it anymore, I would expect our franchise to handle that transition with much more grace. How these guys don’t realize they are football people AND the front men for billion dollar corporations is beyond me. I also feel for Mara becoming more meddling after something like that happens.

That was a slap in the face for the most successful Giants QB ever. if McAdoo didn’t clear that with Mara, he was an idiot.

Dorian is at his best when Babich doesn’t make him think. He’s a bit like Nigel Bradham. When you let him play a downfield attacking style, he can make some plays. When he has to read and react, he’s illiterate.

Teams don’t trade elite top tier pieces mid season. Dorian has not been good really ever in Buffalo. It would be nice for the light to come on ASAP but based on what I’ve seen, I doubt it. Which means he will be back in camp in 2027.
