I like it - has worked with Tom Cable and Bill Callahan in his career. Outside of Scarrnechia they're 2 of the best.
I see it as an upgrade.
Joe Bugel, Alex Gibbs, Bob McKittrick, Mouse McNally... Legendary O-line coaches for 200, Alex...

Literally almost 1 out of every 4 RB caries resulted in a loss. In comparison Bills were 12th best at 16%
Could it be a simple matter of the Bills having more O-line talent?

You know, I went to profootball reference and compared him to Darius Leonard, who was drafted after him, This is what I found.
Solo tackles Leonard 343 Edmunds 293
Ast Tackles Leonard 195 Edmunds 170
QB hits Leonard 20 Edmunds 15
Tackles for Loss Leonard 30 Edmunds 26
Sacks Leonard 15.5 Edmunds 5.5
Forced Fumbles Leonard 17 Edmunds 2
Fumble recoveries Leonard 7 Edmunds goose egg 0
Interceptions Leonard 11 Edmunds 4
And Leonard has played in 3 fewer games.
Fred Warner was also taken after Edmunds and is obviously the much better player.

Reports they're going to hire O'Connell
Rams OC
I think he was a QB coach in Washington when Cousins was there
So much for my conspiracy theory.

Now can we just get an old grizzly proven OL coach in the building please? That would be ideal.
Like Carl Mauck?

I love the hiring. Great credentials for the position... plus the William and Mary pedigree (Marv, McDermott, Tomlin) and the fact that he's from the Sean Payton coaching tree.

Were you watching them in the ten years prior to harbaugh’s arrival? That program was a clown show before he showed up.Michigan was a clown show even after Harbaugh arrived in 2015... right up until last year. Until this season he had not beaten Ohio State and he has a losing record against Michigan State. Their success this season had a lot to do with the fact that they had something like 30 returning seniors.
Harbaugh has restored respectability to the program but I think it would be an exaggeration to give him much more credit than that... he has not been a miracle worker. He has not come near the success that Meyer had with OSU for instance.

Minnesota going with the Giants DC now? Wonder if the Flores lawsuit is trickling in here. I would HATE to be a team with an open HC job at the moment. It's a 100% lose/lose for them.
This is what I believe. It's part of the fallout from Floresgate. It actually wouldn't surprise me if the NFL made a direct appeal to Zygi Wilf to make a minority hire... to "take one for the team" to mitigate the possibly hundreds of millions in damage to the league.

Rams’ model is high risk, and high and short-lived reward.
Seems like you have a lot of other teams that have a proven track record of success of drafting and developing your own talent (eg, patriots, Steelers).Ravens... Packers...

Rhetorical question: Is it better too late than never?
Two things strike me about the Bills roster and lineup decisions:
1) They target veteran free agents who they believe are upgrades and plug them into the lineup and generally give them every opportunity to succeed.
For instance the Bills gave Trent Murphy and Patrick DiMarco long play when it seemed they were not justifying their playing time. This later happened with E. Sanders.
2) The team is patient and cautious about promoting young players unless they are highly-drafted. For every Josh Allen, Tre White, and Tremaine Edmunds there are numerous mid-late round picks and free agents that the team brings along slowly but who eventually assume larger roles.
I believe these two factors combine to create instances where veterans get more playing time (are given the benefit of the doubt) over younger players for longer than many of us would like.
As an example, half the people here would have cut Cole Beasley and inserted Isaiah McKenzie into the lineup. Obviously the Bills didn't do that.

With rumors around Frazier getting a second interview, if the giants hire Frazier would you be interested in Gus Bradley being our new DC? He did a pretty solid job with the raiders. Also it’s rumored that McDaniels is the favorite of getting the raiders job
I think a more likely question would be, "Is there a chance the Bills replace Frazier assuming that he's not offered a head coaching position?"

He definitely did not help his career trajectory in those 13 seconds plus overtime.

Here's a question: "Is it possible to have a DC who is less effective statistically during the regular season but whose defense plays better in must-win playoff situations?"
1 hour ago, Buffalo_Stampede said:Todd Bowles called 0 coverage with like 30 seconds left allowing Cooper Kupp 1v1 deep against a safety.
There aren't any defensive coordinator better than Bowles, he's one of the best.
I actually don't mind playing soft in that situation it's that they played too soft. I'm still convinced players didn't do their job, but that's still on coaching in that situation.
All of us will tend to overreact in either/both directions after what happened in KC. That said IMO, much of the blame has to be placed on McDermott's shoulders... both because of the "ultimate responsibility rule" and also because he took 2 defensive timeouts which hurt us.
McDermott probably calls more defensive timeouts in critical situations than any other NFL head coach and that's generally a good thing but as we all found out from the autopsy, the timeouts allowed Kelce and Company to mastermind a few playground ball plays which forced overtime... in other words the time outs don't always work in the defense's favor and certainly didn't last Sunday.
If your players are dependable, knowledgeable, well-trained veterans then sometimes micro-managing is a bad idea.

The Bills are in a far different position with Josh leaving his rookie deal. 2021 you saw a much more conservative approach. Retaining the teams own talent was their big moves (sizable deals given out to Milano, D.Williams and Mongo) and they supplemented through the draft mostly. I think this off-season will look similar to 2021. They will likely resign their own players (Phillips, Wallace, T Jones, Mac and Hughes or Addision) and then maybe make one or two mid-level additions like the Bills did with Sanders and Trubisky.
Which would be great, keep the talent you have, add a bit of depth and a role player and then fill out your remaining needs via the draft.
What you say doesn't change my point, which is that the Bills are not likely to be chasing other teams' big name free agents.

The Bills need playmakers/difference makers.
This team has enough solid, assignment-sound players (especially on defense). What they lack is skill players on both sides who can lift a team to victory by virtue of their sheer athleticism.
HOF cornerback Darrell Green was the last player taken in the first round. Green had 54 interceptions and 6 TDs in his career. When he wasn't making splash plays he was shutting down receivers.
Tyreek Hill was selected in the 5th round.
I think the Bills are solid and competent enough through their roster that they can shift their philosophy towards more explosive, high-ceiling players.

It's nice that it's not behind a pay wall. Thank you. Here's another: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/. You can sort by position, type of free agent, etc. and it also provides the market value for more attractive free agents.
The Bills are not going to sign high-priced "I've heard of him free agents." It's not what they do. Only a few of you are actually thinking like Beane.
4 hours ago, billsfan89 said:I think the Bills aren't going "big name" shopping in free agency, it doesn't fit their mold of sustainable winning.
Truth. Here are Beane's notable free agent signings by year:
2017: Micah Hyde, Jordan Poyer, Stephen Hauschka, Taiwan Jones, Leonard Johnson
2018: Vontae Davis, Chris Ivory, Star Lotulelei, Trent Murphy, Matt Barkely
2019: Spencer Long, Cole Beasley, John Brown, Frank Gore, Mitch Morse, Jon Feliciano, Quinton Spain, Ty Nseke, Tyler Kroft, Kevin Johnson, Andre Roberts La'Adrian Waddle, EJ Gaines, TJ Yeldon, Lee Smith
2020: AJ Klein, Darryl Williams, Brian Winters, Mario Addison, Quinton Jefferson, Vernon Butler, Tyler Matakevich, Josh Norman
2021: Mitchell Trubisky, Matt Breida, Efe Obada
I might have missed a few. The point is obvious though.

He’s been good not great. Half the blown plays people who don’t understand the Defense Blame on Edmunds are his missed reads or failure to get off the block.
A Great cover linebacker doesn’t get owned by a tight end there in that moment of that game.
Milano is good, Tremaine is also good. Neither is great and how they got on the team really doesn’t matter after they are it’s a sunk cost and irrelevant.
I think most would agree that Milano is better than Edmunds. And if every Bills 5th rounder was as good as Milano, we'd be building a float for a parade down Delware Avenue. Milano's range and instincts are excellent. Is he an All-Pro? No, but he's not anywhere near part of the problem either. Mahomes to Kelce have made plenty of excellent players look bad, no?
6 minutes ago, SoMAn said:I think a lot may depend on who the DC is going forward. If Frazier goes, McDermott could opt for a coordinator with a more aggressive approach with regard to the front 7. Whatever is decided, it’s a certainty that the weak run defense has to be addressed. Edmunds is a liability defending the run.
How much autonomy do you guys think Frazier gets? Is he not running the McDermott Defense?

Well, I wonder about this article.
First, how many other teams don't do squats during the season?
Second, maybe a little research would help. He says the Bills don't have any injured starters. They just have injured bench players, like White and Feliciano.
The fact remains, the Bills have been one of the healthiest teams in the NFL since McDermott took over so it seems they're on to something.

You get a week off, play at home, and play one less game, so the answer is "no," it's not overrated. If the Bills lose tonight, we'll all be moaning about blowing home field with the schedule we had.
You're right.
I think most of us would agree that playing this game in Orchard Park would have made all the difference in the world.
Bills sign 12 players to futures deals

The Bills have made the playoffs in 4 of the last 5 years after a 17 year drought and you're not convinced that those in charge can evaluate talent?
That's an interesting take. Please tell more.
