Chaos

The irony in your reply is pure comedy gold.

Participation is optional

Levy won four AFC championships. Sean can’t carry his proverbial jock strap yet.

if you think McDemott is getting the best possible success out of Josh Allen’s career he is above criticism. If. If you think McDermott is falling short , feel free to criticize. Broncos gave nine years to Reeves with Elway. never got there. Mike shanahan got there in two years with Elway. Not really sure why the benchmark is being better than one of worst ever streak of coaching in NFL history.

What’s the current knowledge/ speculation on Millers return?

31 teams played defense without Edmunds last year. I our defensive guru coach needs to figure out how to play defense without Edmunds this year.

I thought he would be bigger.

Thats Mr. Kincaid to you:

This is not a meaningful metric. It is meaningful though that no QB/HC combo since the 70;s has made their first Super Bowl after year 4. There are lots and lots of statistical samples for that particular metric. There is a first time for everything, of course. But most head coaches when given a truly elite QB talent, get there pretty promptly. Some like Dan Reeves (to me the best McDermott comp) never get there with their super star QB. Guys like Marty Shottenheimer or Marvin Lewis really never got that super star QB.

I would prefer simply "smooth" , or something that invokes smooth, like "butter"

Says guy who calls himself "Einstein"

He isn't going to all the DC for his unit pooping the bed in the first quarter. He is in love with that guy.

The bills would be far worse with edmunds and without whoever would be missing to fill edmunds cap hit

PFF grades his as an average left tackle. What else you got?

Its pretty easy to diaganose guys in full uniform on TV. Also is is super easy to keep this diagnosis secret from the GM, so that he can't plan around it. Hope this clears things up for you.

I think the lack of faith in the past comes from not getting past the divisional round of the playoffs (with the 13 second debacle seared into people's brains" and for the current situation this is the first time McD is taking on duel roles, so that past does not matter for that observation.

Does not carrying a middle lineback on the roster, free up a spot for 7 WRs?

Who acquired Dane and Benford?

If you took the time out to watch the game, then your takeaways are not totally true.

locked in as starter has nothing to do with what i said. My takeaway is only about the 53. And obviously things like the injury to Tommy Doyle might change that. But nothing the Bills did last night highlighted any of the fan percieved "camp battles"

Maybe I am wrong, but the interior of the Bills defensive line (starters) seemed to play pretty poorly last night, which seems to exacberate the linebacker problem. The edges, other than when they didn't block Groot at all, were nothing special either.

Disagree. None of that means a decision is not already made. Why not the beginning of the season?

I simply repeated what was in the title and the original post. it means little to the top teams.

based on what?

It only matters for playoff preparedness. Prove me wrong. (Note-if you don't make the playoffs, you weren't prepared)
