We know this how? In reality, they could both be terrible lol

Daniel Jones had 3200 yards this year with 15 TDs and 5 INTs. That's great game manager material. In McD's first season, Tyrod threw for just under 3K yards with 14 TDs and 4 INTs. Does McD get credit for Tyrod having a good year as well? Daniel Jones being a game manager doesn't make Daboll a top 10 coach. Daboll went 9-7-1, with several comeback wins (which care some luck to achieve), and then beat the Vikings, who were the league's luckiest team by far. I'm not saying Daboll isn't a good coach - he is top 20. But to anoint him a top 10 coach in the league, and 14 spots above McD? Give me a break that's just ridiculous.

How does Daboll deserve to be higher than McD? They had incredibly similar first seasons, and McD has shown the ability to generate tenure of success. Daboll has shown to take a team and win close games (McD did that his first year too). He hasn't shown the ability to be a consistent playoff participant.

Absolutely - our offense has proven that even shooting itself in the foot doesn't always lead to losses. Limiting mistakes will only show the top end ability of this team more and more.

Josh this year: 6-3 in one score games Roughly 2400 Passing Yards Roughly 525 Rushing Yards 17 TDs Passing 5 TDs Rushing 6 INTs 4 Fumbles Lost Talk about cherry picking... Josh was great in one score games this year. Prorated to 12-5/11-6 With over 5500 total yards, 40+ touchdowns, and 18ish turnovers That's better than in his blowouts lol

That's a fair point, however you could say teams frankly win or lose on self imposed mistakes. Football is a game of execution. So if we are winning most of our games, our execution in aggregate is strong. Do self imposed mistakes lead to close games? Of course. However, as you mention, we don't choke away close games often. Most of the time, we are coming out on top.

I dont know how you could look at half of the coaches above McD and say "McD hasn't shown better coaching than these guys" I get it, 13 seconds was awful, but at the end of the day, the team could execute at some key moments. Is that really all on McD? McD is a top 12 coach in the league. He has a 62-35 regular season record, with playoffs in 5 of 6 years. His first year playoff birth is more surprising than even the Giants this year, and he took a player everyone was calling a bust to be and helped turn him into a superstar. Coaches that should absolutely be below McD: 8. Brian Daboll 10. Doug Peterson 13. Mike Vrabel 14. Mike McDaniel 15. Kevin O'Connell 16. Dan Campbell 17. Matt LaFleur 18. Arthur Smith 19. Ron Rivera 20. Brandon Staley 21. Mike McCarthy And let's not forget this guy has built a great culture, and has shifted his philosophy multiple times to improve the on field result. We Bills fans are becoming the fans we hate most - pompas losers who are too good for the coach who has led us to 5 playoff appearances in the last 6 years. Let's relive the drought and then see how people feel

Anything to substantiate this rumor?

Then he puts up the greatest QB season ever. You are talking about 5700 total yards and 68 touchdowns from him. That would be the single best season in history for almost any player ever.

Live in Tampa, wife's family are die hard bucs fans, and generally have been very fair in their criticisms of their players. THEY HATED SMITH. HATED. He was consistently the weakness on that line, and it got to the point that there were very strong rumors of some serious mental struggles for him last year. Bucs fans were happy to see him go, and I expect him to struggle with the Chiefs as well.

I think particular and individual games have too much nuance to try to build a team around. The Sabres dove into a team building pit of despair because of a single game (Lucic hitting Miller). over the course of last year, the bills were a top 5 offensive scheme. And that’s with Tommy Sweeney and Quinten Morris as our TE2. When you add in a pure pass catcher and dynamic route runner, we instantly upgrade a spot which previously wasn’t even staffed with NFL talent.

I think the team even in its current state will have no issues creating mismatches and opportunities. We were after all, a top offense last year. Health of the team Will matter. kincaid is a greater mismatch than almost any other offensive weapon in this draft. And, we addressed a big hole on this team in our TE2. classic value/need pick. That’s what happens in a weak draft

Pros: quite lateral pivot Good upright slot stance and kick high points the ball well and will attack it runs VERY good Kelce style curl option routes cons: Blocking is poor not incredibly thick to handle rushers can he develop better mid route ability?

People saying the Bills panicked… take a look at the Cowboys. They were going Kincaid the WHOLE way. Bills jumped em and killed their pick.

Dorsey likes to run a heavy set, but think of a kick out audible to let Kincaid move into the slot and have a heavy LB try to handle him in coverage, with Cook coming out of the backfield. dorseys challenge will be to not gimmick the offense too much. But this team will have serious options game to game

Jump Dallas for a TE? Once Giants didn’t take one, maybe they see a big value opportunity

Vikings have decided to bring absolutely no defense to the field on Sundays lol

I have no issues with a TE at 27. Teams are going small, bring in another big blocker and receiver to challenge

"Also, if we dont draft offense in the first two picks of this upcoming draft, I am going to be upset and I will make sure this season is a failure. I already concede that Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback, and get mad at the 2017 draft when the Bills decided to trade back for 27 and a 2018 first instead of picking him. White and myself are an obvious downgrade to him, so its a shame that I have to lead the team that made such a poor decision"

McD is a confident guy who has developed every year as a HC. If he (as one of the top defensive minds in football) wants to take on getting this defense to the level it can play at, by all means.

So we just ignore all of the injuries to CORE players throughout the year? Let me throw this at you sweetpie: Hyde, long term injury poyer, long term injury allen, 4 week injury (that many said carried through the entire year) white, injured most of year, hamlin, nothing else to add Phillips, long term injury Daquan Jones, injured to end year Oliver, injured to end year benford, injured throughout year dawkins, injuries doyle, injured for year Von, inured for year when you have CORE injuries like that, players get thrust into situations that they are not used to, which leads to uncommon physical and mental fatigue. Everyone made comments about our injury report looking as good as it had leading into the Bengals game, but don’t believe it. The team was still dealing with a slew of injuries. Combine that with the two games in Detroit due to the winter storm, the Hamlin situation, the Miami game to start the year, the wild card game where the team started to look disorganized, and it isn’t a stretch to say the team was fatigued from an eventful season Did they not perform their best with Cincy? Absolutely. But there are obvious connections between the events throughout the season and potential of fatigue both mentally and physically. I don’t just chalk everything up to “they suck and are weak”. I use my brain

I think that’s an oversimplification of a really nuanced situation. the Bills team went through a more tumultuous season then any I can remember, along with an incredibly grueling schedule as well. The team looked like they lost steam after the hot start in the wild card game, and that obviously carried over to the Bengals game. The coaches impact in two ways - 1) mid week prep and coordination and 2)in game management. I personally put a lot more weight into mid week prep than I do the in game impact a coach makes. how many times do you see a coach bring the entire team together to address a situation in game? That’s a halftime closed door situation usually. But I haven’t seen it happen on the sideline. If you do see sideline conversations happening, it’s usually the team captains. frankly, this team really struggled with execution throughout the entire season. You could point to a LOT of execution breakdowns that were huge, and the bengals game was a culmination of those errors and struggles. I don’t blame the coaches all that much for our struggles in that game, I blame the players who were likely exhausted and strained from a long long season

This guy moves better than Isiah, catches better than Gabe, and can actually run a route well. I expect him to do very well this season if Allen learns to trust him.

David is an ELITE linebacker. He allows Devon White to play the way he does - downhill, attacking football. David can cover incredibly well, and is a sure tackler. He would do a fantastic job in this defense, as we force our MLB to dissect and manage this defense play to play. He would be a top target on a one or two year deal while his body is up to the task

I have no negative feelings towards Tremaine. Was a good player while here. I’d take that money too if I was him, he will be 29 when the deal is done and be ready for another 80+ million before retiring with almost 200 in career earnings Good for him
