Me too. I'll be driving between 1-4pm. This is perfect. I'll be able to watch every play now.

I agree. McDermott knows more than anyone how challenging it is to stop a guy like Tyrod from moving the pocket, extending plays...hitting dimes downfield, etc.. There are several teams that would make Tyrod their #1 free agent signee if he becomes available. The Bills and McDermott cannot be dumb enough to let Tyrod walk out of the building without a significant upgrade in-house come early March. I don't give a crap what Jim Kelly says.

I'm not inspired at all by the retreads. There are some very bright young minds out there. No one knew who Sean McVay was when he was promoted from a tight ends coach to OC for Washington. I would not mind at all if McDermott tapped someone who we have not heard of yet.

Absolutely. That is my hope. He is overseeing McDermotts defense. Let's face it, Sean M. Was hired here to fix the D so he will have a big say over the play calls and the scheme. He knows if the D fails, his head coaching career will be short lived.

This OC thing has me worried. Already the No. 1 rushing attack has taken a hit with the loss of A. Lynn calling the shots. If Tyrod goes, then I may not even renew my season tix. I hope they can find a bright innovative guy... but I feel like I need to start getting used to 17 points per game average

My buddy is a big Tampa Bay fan. He said Frazier is the worst DC they've seen down there in a long time. He is surprised McDermott hired him and Leslie won't last more than 2 seasons. OK that being said, if Whaley provides good players I think most of these coaches will suddenly look a lot better, a lot smarter. We'll see.

McCoy rumored to be finalizing a deal w Denver. I saw on Twitter but can't copy and paste from my phone

Some fans in Baltimore hate this move. They see Roman as a guy whose system numbers are inflated because he has used running QB's. Flacco is obviously not that.

This sucks for San Diego but for the hard core Chargers fans...at least the 2 cities are only a two hour drive apart. I imagine their fan base in LA will still have plenty of San Diego fans making the drive.

You had the feeling that McDermott was going to be head coach for someone in 2017. You had the feeling Anthony Lynn will not be head coach for any team in 2017 unless it was Buffalo. I don't hate this hire. Seems like Buffalo went out and convinced a fairly hot commodity to sign up here. The easy thing to do would have been to hire Lynn and maintain that continuity. We all would have said.."they couldn't do better"?

I thought that as well. In a couple photos i said to myself, this guy looks like Richie Cunningham!

I have to admit, if the Bills rolled out Vance Joseph as their new Head coach I'd rip them to shreds. Since Elway and Denver hired him...Vance seems much more attractive as a head coach. Just goes to show how highly regarded Denver is as a top tier organization.

So if Elway wants Tyrod, and McCoy is being lured to Denver to be OC...that would lend to the theory that McCoy would be fine with Tyrod as well. So if McCoy stays linked with McDermott ...McCoy may be a Tyrod guy and wants to coach him.

Good to see the Carolina board is happy for McD and sad that he's leaving their organization. Seems like their fanbase all like and respect the guy.

Vic Carucci ‏@viccarucci 11s12 seconds ago More on #Bills-McDermott. Still working out details, but looks like he will accept.

Ha. Very true. I would trust Elway's judgement over anyone on this board.. Tyrod would be a plug n play QB for them. Instant playoffs withTT that D and home field advantage.

If the Bills let TT walk out that door with no better option...(and i mean a very good option).. I will be furious.

Interesting to listen to McDermott speak about D. Seems like a well spoken guy that is confident, I can see why he was a candidate for several teams..

Yes. Pegula's has also said in an article that the offense produced and insinuated that the other side of the ball was the problem. Even a novice football person would be inclined to keep the productive unit intact.

I don't know anything about McDermott. Is he a disciplinarian, tough guy? Will the offense regress if they hire a defensive guy? I still want my 25 pts per game on O

I just can't see any new coach coming here and saying "yeah I know we were #1 in rushing last year but let's blow that up, get a newbie inexperienced QB, and run a whole new offense".

If someone else hires Lynn, he will suddenly seem very attractive to Bills fans and lament the coach that got away.

Vic Carucci ‏@viccarucci 19m19 minutes ago #Bills in a holding pattern as their top HC candidates McDermott & Lynn interview elsewhere. 53-man roster control still negotiable.

Watson does not look like anything special against a good D like this.

Maybe. But Whaley needs to do his job and hit on some draft picks..,and sign some F/A's that will help reload the roster. Pegs is running a business here...it's a terrible business move to concede, blow it up and try to rebuild. He will lose ticket-buyers by the busload. He's seeing how hard it is with his hockey team to rebuild.
