When Brady decided to come back you have to make it top 4. Rank them anyway you want between Allen, Brady, Mahomes, and Rodgers. These are the top 4 QB's in the league.

Do the Bills have the money to make this happen? I know teams work around the cap all the time but Beane did spend a ton of money this offseason already.

How about

I thought he wasn't expected back until mid season at the earliest. Even when he comes back it will take time for him to get back to his standard play. He hasn't played at all since last Thanksgiving. No offseason activity with mini camp, training camp, preseason games. It might not be until the playoffs before Tre starts playing like his usual self.

On the flip side we probably lose the Colts game if it was played in Indy. For much of that game the Colts had the better of the play. The Ravens game was a great defensive game highlighted by the 100 yard pick 6. If that game was in Baltimore I don't if they win with the offense playing the way it did that night. That could be a maybe. The Pats game we killed them. That was a win no matter where it was played. I'd like to see the Bills get the #1 seed though. Two (potential) home games to get to the Super Bowl. I like their chances.

Same here. I have seen her do the Notre Dame CFB games on Saturday for NBC. Figured she would have been the choice as well for SNF.

Another one to mention is Paul Maguire and he played for the Bills as well.

John Madden

This year is a Super Bowl or bust year. You think they brought Von Miller here for his play in Sept thru Dec. This was a "final piece" move. Miller is here for what he can bring in Jan/Feb. The Bills are all in this year. No way this team flies under the radar. Both the national/local media as well as the fanbase have the highest expectations for them.

The greatest pass route of all time was run by Franco Harris with the immaculate reception. Everybody knows that

Considering the Bills are 0-4 on the road in the playoffs with McDermott but 3-0 at home I hope we get the #1 seed. It seems the Bills really need it.

I wonder if Kirk Herbstreit will eventually switch over to NFL broadcasts fulltime. I know he is Mr. College Football but he will be doing TNF with Al Michaels this year and he has already done some NFL games in recent seasons.

The coin toss means nothing to me TBH. Their never should have been a coin toss period. 13 seconds was the game. McDermott has done a good job overall but these collapses late in games have to stop. Hail Mary, the Texans playoff game, and the most painful one of all 13 seconds. This team IMHO at minimum should be in the Super Bowl this year as long as injuries don't play a factor. I get they will lose games as every team does but these types of gut wrenches losses (when we appear to have the game won) have to stop.

I don't think the Bills get the Thanksgiving day game. Buffalo at Detroit probably wont be competitive. Also the Bills have been on Turkey day twice in the last 3 years. Miami has a decent team and will probably get some primetime games as well. Or it could be a long time rival like the Bears at Lions. CBS and FOX do have those crossover games where CBS will have an all NFC matchup and FOX has had an all AFC matchup. Their are better teams/games for the Bills to be on primetime than the Lions. I will make one surprise pick and say the Bills get a primetime game against the Jets. They are a big market NYC area team so they will get one. They played on TNF last year against the Colts. So I could the Jets getting one against one of their top rivals. My guess Bills at Jets on MNF. Some of those "sexy" matchups the Bills will play will be the national games on CBS/FOX and probably with a 4:25 start.

True and I don't think McDermott will get fired. My point is simply that questions will start to come up if he can be the coach to win a championship if he fails to do so this year with this roster. This will be year 6 for him not 2 or 3. At some point the Pegula's patience will run out.

I was just throwing names out there as examples to say Beane would have options. If the Bills did move on from McDermott then I think they would go with an experienced coach like Payton for example since the team is expected to contend.

Could go with an experienced coach like Sean Payton. TB OC Byron Leftwich has been mentioned has someone who deserves a chance as an example for a first time coach. There would be plenty of options for Beane. I don't think McDermott would be fired this year unless something crazy happened like the Bills having a losing season then maybe it would be discussed. I do think questions will start to come up if he can be the guy to win a championship if the Bills don't at least make the Super Bowl. That is a different take then saying he should be fired.

That will suck for me. I was hoping the NFLN would also carry it.

The only reason why I have DirecTV is because of the NFL's Sunday ticket. If they lose that then I could see many people dropping them. Question about Thursday night football next season. Is that only on Amazon next year or will the NFLN carry it as well?

Every year no. This is year 6 of McDermott. At some point he has to produce. 0-4 on the road in the playoffs. Collapsed in the playoff game at Houston. 13 seconds which I still don't understand how that happened given KC had the ball starting at their own 25. I will say it again I don't think he gets fired if the Bills don't make the Super Bowl but it is fair to question if he is the guy to lead them to a championship if he fails again. Which means his seat starts to get hot. He doesn't get to keep the job for life either if he can't produce.

That would be up to Beane and the Pegula's. But if you want a name then Sean Payton is available just as an example. I don't want McDermott fired but he has to produce with the roster he has. Coaches are in the business of winning and if you don't win then you know what happens. The Bills aren't rebuilding anymore. They are expected to win and compete for a Super Bowl. The pressure is on McDermott this season bigtime. Both from the local/national media and the fanbase.
