Whaley and Monos hired McDermott. 4 months later McDermott fired them 🤣

They haven’t been employed by an NFL franchise since they were ousted by McDermott

The whole “morale” quote is somewhat taken out of context because moments later he admitted it was a mistake and that he would like to go for it at the end of the half. Of course, that never gets reported

Like I said, he didn’t say anything that most fans haven’t. I think the resentment is there from fans because he was a pretty bad GM

yep this is true and that’s why people are annoyed. Kind of like the guy who gets fired trying to tell you how to do your job

This clip has generated a lot of interesting discussion. Whaley echoes what a lot of fans have said about McDermott. But because of past stint as GM, it’s pissed off a lot of fans. I’ll say this... I’ve listed to some of these podcasts and Doug isn’t really bitter. If anything he takes the high road and goes out of his way not to say anything critical. I feel that he doesn’t want to burn any bridges to get back to the NFL. I get why Bills fans are pissed though

I think there were a few issues, first off the OL was beaten badly especially in the middle of the line. Made it hard to escape pressure. The second part is that there aren’t fast dump offs that Josh can make. I think Beane and company need to find more speed at RB and TE where Josh can dump the ball and make teams pay.

DVOA disagrees

We needed a good laugh. This is easily the funniest thing I’ve read since Saturday

This is weak as hell especially when LaFluer might have made an equally egregious call by kicking a FG

It would have made the game closer for sure. The thing is Josh and the offense was struggling throughout. The fact that we might bypass a FG doesn’t guarantee that the Bills score a TD. I hated the fact that the Bills didn’t try - especially at the end of the half, but the offense wasn’t clicking. I don’t think it would matter because the Bills defense just could do nothing against Mahomes and the offense

I’m not really in favor of giving a significant contract to a FA running back. I don’t think Brandon Beane is either. I do think the Bills need a RB with more speed that can help in the passing game

I feel by the end of the 3rd season you should have a good idea whether your draft picks fit into the team’s future. Last year, we weren’t 100% certain on Josh. I remember thinking that by the end of year 3, we had to know whether Josh was the franchise QB. If we weren’t sure, chances are he is not. The same can’t be said about Edmunds. He’s had a few nice plays but has struggled for most of the year. We don’t know if the issue is his DL or if he’s just not cut out of be a MLB in a 4-3. To me, he’s in Shaq Lawson territory but the difference is the same administration drafted him. My impression is that Edmunds is not good enough. Not physical enough in the run game and not a enough of a difference maker versus the pass. The Bills really need to take a close look at him. Oliver has flashed more than Edmunds IMO. He also has 1 less year. By the end of next year we should know where we stand with Oliver.

Like most facets of the game, redzone offense was disappointing

Mahomes with Turf Toe CHE on pitch count Bell OUT Watkins likely OUT I wouldn’t say that any of these injuries are a difference maker but I think it is a small advantage for the Bills. Hopefully they can take care of business today.

It was in an article. A good profile from Tyler Dunne on Isaiah McKenzie. I’m guessing if Stills didn’t look good, he wouldn’t be elevated ”Earlier this season, he was Tyreek Hill. And Jamison Crowder. And he always tears it up. He always tries to “destroy them every chance I get.” Of course, it wouldn’t be such a bad thing to be himself once in a while. Maybe the coaches are just trying to keep his legs fresh but, this week, there was a sign of hope. Kenny Stills played the role of Hill in practice. Not McKenzie.”

Yes I believe so

At the same time he’s 61 years old and he’s waited a decade for a second opportunity. Time is running out so it’s not like he can be selective. But yeah if it’s a situation he feels he can’t make work, then he should stay away

Stills was Tyreek Hill in practice. They must have gotten a good look at him this week and liked what they saw. If Davis can’t go tomorrow, I see the Bills drawing up a few plays for him I think he’s insurance for Davis

IMO this is a great sign. He would be the clam and collected voice to get that team through the chaos. I just hope he brings in a good mind at OC

A lot of people close to the situation doubt that Houston will make the trade. They have also shared the challenges that a team will have that trades for Watson. You inherit a franchise QB contract but have no draft capital to put talent around him for several years. Essentially it’s the same situation as Houston this year. If Houston hires a coach like Bienenemy, Frazier, or whoever else I can see them talking DeShaun into playing. A lot can happen

McDaniels was a disaster in Denver but he was younger and less experienced that Patricia. Also Denver was an 8-8 team when he took over. He went 8-8 again and then had a terrible year. Patricia took over a decent Lions team who was either a WC team or came close to a playoff spot. They couldn’t get over the “one and done” hump and Patricia was supposed to take them to the next level. Instead he never won more than 6 games. He also made some real dumb comments to the media. I don’t see Patricia getting a HC shot anytime soon, but who knows?

I watched the relay of the Bills-Baltimore game on the Cover 1 Youtube channel. He did a tremendous job following Lamar in the pocket so that he couldn’t escape. It’s a role that very few would notice and will not show up on the stat sheet, but from the few plus I saw when he was in, he did a great job

He stint in Detroit was such a disaster, I’d be surprised if he ever gets another HC shot

It seems like the Bills use the PS as a contingency plan. Many of the players added seem to be there in the event of injury. This addition is the perfect example. If anything happens to Bass, he’s the K we’ll call up without having to hire someone quickly
