Harty's biggest catch of his season?

Cook is really turning into an elite RB receiving threat.

Good call, Si!! 🍻

What universe am I in where Kelce gets the PI?

Josh — what a beast!!!!

***** yeah. McD saying stay out there, my first thought he doesn't want to look "tight" and conservative.

Finally beginning to see the Cook we heard about in college — fast with WR hands. Brady knows how to use him far better than Dorsey did. Diggs, Kincaid, Cook... That's not too bad. A real #2 would make us deadly.

Way too young, and he sounded like a good guy. Very sad. Condolences to the Wycheck family.

Sorry, I'm not very X literate: how do I see the thread WYO made? I click on the X post and there's nothing linked or under it... And her website doesn't seem to have it either. I could be wrong, however... Or is she being ironic and the heart GIF is the whole of her message? Thanks.

I've been looking for public statements from Josh Allen or Stephon Diggs in support of McDermott. So far, nothing from any offensive team veterans or leaders that I can find. If anyone else sees any, please share. It could be that the team is focused on KC and that's totally fair and understandable as this is a must-win game and distractions are not good. However, after the KC game I would expect team leaders, besides Micah Hyde, and especially on offense, to unequivocally make a public statement in support of their head coach — if that's how they feel. I think what the team leaders, especially Josh and Steph, say or don't say about McDermott should reveal the true sentiment of those players. Do they get emotional and with great vigor shut them down and call them BS or nonsense? Do they issue a boilerplate "we stand behind our coach 100%" statement and deliver it with no emotion that would cause such a statement to be interpreted multiple ways? Or do they remain silent? Monday should, to me at least, be very telling.

Combined with the fact that we keep losing close games because of defensive and coaching errors and that he blamed a loss on the Bills offense scoring "too soon" I want this guy gone. He was a decent to good coach who helped us get out of the drought, but he is not, to use his words, "championship calibre."

Normally, yes, there is a middle ground. But any so-called leader who uses 9/11 as a supposedly motivating example of teamwork, planning, and organization for a team of professional footaball players is not "normal" so my normal reaction doesn't apply here. Someone is severely lacking in leadership, communication skills, and judgment if they use that example to motivate NFL players. I won't back down from this position. People make mistakes, but that's really a fireable offense in my eyes. It shows a total lack of empathy, leadership, common sense, and judgment. If you think it's a simple gaffe many good leaders would make, good for you. I don't agree.

I don't get all these questions of "who is Tyler Dunne?" McD already admitted to the 9/11 speech and thus far hasn't denied other allegations like his displeaure with the WRs buying Chad Hall a truck as a gift. McD either did and said these things or he didn't. If the latter, he should get a good lawyer and litigate. If he did do them, the messenger doesn't matter.

Interesting how some top-end NFL wide receivers appreciated their position coach so much they bought him a high-end truck — but that was not only frowned about by the head coach but that position coach leaves Super Bowl-contending team. Combine that with the rumors that McD and Daboll don't get along and the smoke is getting heavier and heavier. But maybe it's Chad Hall and Brian Daboll and Leslie Frazier that were the problem and our head coach has great communication and interpersonal skills with everyone.

Maybe Von bought 100 subscriptions to Dunne's article! "Yeah, yeah, that's the story you guys all need to focus on, that's the one!"

I'm thinking this is a more pressing issue: It's Josh Allen's 6th season — and our chance to win a championship is on the line I'll take short term pain (losing to the Chiefs; and, God, do I hate them) for long-term gain: Josh having a great and offensively minded head coach for the second half of his prime years.

Fair enough. I disagree with your take that it's a "big fat nothing burger" — millions of New Yorkers and thousands of emergency workers would dispute that, — but I now see that you question his coaching ability, as you and we all should. Sorry if my quote didn't reflect the entire substance of your message. But I don't like McDermott and this has me a little more hopeful he will be fired so I'm a little trigger happy.

What ability to bring us a championship? McDermott has had multiple years with a generational quarterback and has yet to win a conference championship.

Oh, I agree. He knows the org knows but now that it's out and there will be a lot of hell to pay for it, now he's scared. He thought he got away with it, forgot about it, and now it's out in public and he's really scared. You can see it in his face and in his changing story: "I lost a good friend during 9/11.... I lost multiple friends."

McDermott looked gutted at the presser and certainly did not act like it was old news and already "processed" by the man who pays his bills.

Or... Never give up! Ted Bundy was captured, sent to prison and escaped! Disguise your intentions, men! Just like Bundy wore a cast and pretended to have a broken arm when he asked young women to help him load his truck before locking them in there!

F*** Xmas gift. It would be an awesome National Brownie Day gift. (December 8 for those who don't want to Google it.)

I now have a fair bit of hope the major reason the Bills have not won more than a divisional playoff game during the first half of Josh Allen's prime will be excised and replaced.

Ok, I guess every manager reading this thread knows what not to say in his or her next team meeting.
