First Round Bust

an appropriate question, what drives the numbers up are specialty andassistant coaches for several positions as well as quality control coaches for O and D and maybe ST..along with passing-run game coord for O and maybe D. As first time HC Brady is smart enough to know what he doesnt know so he needs support that Beane and Pegula are willing to support which has not always been the case with Mr Efficient, Economic and Effective..... Bear in mind Brady has two very young kids at home, including a newborn as...we are human after all are we not ? Add: Metrics, game managment, sports science, strength, nutrition/conditioning, masseuse(s), player-family support, interns, NFL minority opporunity, coaches family-friends-and-friends-of-former-NFLers and behind the scenese support with equipment managers and the Bills corporate staffing, security, tickets, and no wonders its a 23 billion a year revenue stream...

cuz McD was often crtiticized for being out-coached

when you say 5 picks..I say Nate Petersen

hmm...so...that being the case could Ronald Curry be "promoted" to OC from qb coach...has been Bills trend....to search for coaches with a 716 area code...they just tell Pegula its saves on long distance charges as it economic, efficient and effective....plus Brady brought him when first hired from their Saints days under Payton

I see it as Josh hire as it had to be an O coach, who else you had in mind...Klint Kuiak, not sure he wanted the job and you have to wonder about coord picks moreso esp after aother two weeks of waiting around

the past - we were a contender for sure - but our division was weak, usually only 1 other team was good, and the 2 others terrible, thus we cruised to the div title for yesrs and overall took care of beating bad teams while playing .500 against the AFC contenders except against KC the current - aging, cap issues, injuries, refs calls, soft zone D with no pass rush, Josh turning 30 and keeping him happy and in Buffalo, add a 74 year-old engi-nerd ramblings to the fire with the dismissal of the second best coach in franchise history with the best winning percentage who just cant get over the playoff hump. the future - above average risk move to can McD and now Beane is the bad guy because of WR issues (deserved) and draft and free agent selections based on coaching roster inputs (not deserved)...better to do this one year in advance of the same thing happening with Josh input, which helps him, and he also owns it and keeps him here if it gets bumpy ??? waiting for the other shoe to drop so we chan exhale and start the new waves of endless mock drafts, off-season optimism and in-season complaining

Ken Anderson of the Bengals...Fouts of Chargers...Moon-Oilers...Testaverde only because he played past age 40+....Tarkenton long time as well and he reached the super bowl...same for Craig Morton Cowboys-Broncos...cunningham and mcnabb of andy reid eagles and of course Jim Kelly 0-4 fun fact Joe Montana played in four Super Bowls with the San Francisco 49ers (XVI, XIX, XXIII, XXIV), winning all four and earning three Super Bowl MVP awards (XVI, XIX, XXIV), setting records for touchdowns and zero interceptions in those games. sorry to say: Jim Kelly the exact opposite 0-4 and Jim Kelly had a passer rating of 56.9 with 829 yards, 2 touchdowns and 7 interceptions

Total agreement - Klint Kubiak or Mike Lafluer would be innovative choices but the mesh with Josh and who the DC-OC-ST-OL coaches would be is key as we are late to the party. Flipping the scrpt, I consider Vance Fagio the best DC in the league and he does have prior HC experience....so that would take care of the D-side like McD, and I have no problem retaining Brady as OC under him or Daboll or Scheelhaase from the McVay tree.

as we figure and guess.... are we closer to the super bowl on the O side or D side ? I say O...so would be OK with Brady or Daboll...I am sure Josh is cool with that...but the DC is big open issue if we do... so I wonder if Vince Fagio would be a good hire as I consider him the top DC in the NFL. So Fagio for HC ? And keep Brady or hire Daboll as OC...flame on beotches...

the mile high flub ?

which season ?

economical and efficient are terms Pegula has used before IN PUBLIC: staffing - likely means wait time, like in a doctors office, waiting your turn for treament,attention such as physical therapy or pre-game taping, which during training camp (90+ bodies) or post-game evaluation and treatment as well as during the week when players need PT to rehab...more injuries more attention per player...you would think the coaches would advocate for better care if it meant more than waiting. travel space - Bills use Delta charters looks like 737s or Airbus counterparts...747s can land at BUF airport, the dolphins still or used to use the...maybe upgrade to 767-777 craft.

FWIW: Abraham Lincoln is in the national wrestling hall of fame...a lot of pro football players wrestled including, ex-Bill and current Jet, Harrison Phillips who also won state championship in Nebrasa and went to Stanford. Not only was coach McD a wrestler, he was a two-time high school state champ in the state of PA which is a significant accomplishment as that state takes wresting ultra-seriously. Additionally he went to William and Mary where he walked-on and made the football team (being a student athlete is challenging esp at demanding academic progam where high achievers get the first B, C grades of their lives... Last point - I play some baseball and one my friends on the team went to HS with coach McD - he called Scott the most intense-tenacious person in his HS, remains friends to this day (sort of) and added that Scott pulled the best practical jokes on friends back in the day...

FWIW...Livvy Dunne Damar (former LSU gymast) and her siginifcnat other Paul Skenes also attended the recent Sabres road game victory in NJ..the were on kiss cam as well...is there a Buffalo or NJ sports trend here or is all this random ????

add a drop on a catchable deep ball then injured....your typical Bills WR resume updated 2025...sigh
