He was right and probably should be the GM.

It’s funny because in my head, this is how I pictured you! ?

This is just stupid at this point. It’s funny because there are probably 2 qbs more different in the nfl. Personally, Murray makes me very nervous as a NFL prospect.

I just can’t believe of you really believe the media is out the Bills. I think most non Bills fans think Darnold is a better qb than Allen and is a safer bet. Doesn’t mean it’s true but it’s understandable. And Bell is annoying but he was arguably the best all around rb 2 years ago. When the Bills are good (see when they made the playoffs or had the hot Trent and Fitz starts), they get plenty of love. In fact, I think the media might root for us more when we’re good because of our fans and we are the underdogs. If we are good, we will get plenty of love.

I wasn’t a huge Tyrod fan and was ready to move on. All I heard was he was the problem and holding our offense back. Well our offense was worse without him.

I will say even he doesn’t really bother me, I think Buffalo sports talk could be so much better. I’m mainly a podcast guy for sports.

The Bills have played not to lose under SM. And I think we completely oversell how bad that first year’s roster was. For his flaws, Tyrod was a solid game manager. MCCoy was one if the best rbs and they had a good oline. And it took a miracle to make the playoffs. I want to see this great coach this year. He has his hand selected qb so he should be more aggressive this year. I’d love to see it.

So people want someone fired because they simply don’t agree with their opinion? I’d argue that not being able to listen to other people’s opinions is a huge issue in this country. I definitely agree with you that if someone or something really bothers me, I’d just ignore. But unless someone was a terrible human being, it seems pretty awful to want them to get fired because they don’t have an opinion you like. And as much as I love the Bills, sadly, the negative people have been many right. JMO.

So did Dick Jauron and we extended him. In hindsight, that was a mistake. And a lot of those rosters’ issues were created by McBeane. Another way to look at this, how many coaches have the Bills fired too early? How many franchises would keep a coach with 3 losing seasons in 4 years? Again, I think we should be 8-8 at worst but man, I missed this elite coaching performance so far.

I don’t like angry homers who get angry about any little criticism about the Bills. But deep in me and every home opener, the suppressed homer in me comes out and I start thinking big dreams. And then the Chargers destroy us and I’m sad. ?

I look at Sean McVay. Took over a 4-12 team and they won 7 more games. He took over a garbage offense and a qb people were calling a bust (why it’s so stupid to make concrete judgments about a qb after a year) and made it one of the best offenses in the nfl. I dont think there are many coaches who do this. I’d put regular season Reid, Belichick obviously, and Sean Payton. I think McDermott is a borderline great DC. But he has been a disaster at fielding an offense and definitely has a very conservative coaching style. Well he has his qb so there are no excuses. Additionally, I think how much of a step backwards it would be to start over with a new coach. I think if hey hired an offensive head coach and kept a 4-3, I dont think there would be much if any steps back. But hopefully this is all moot because SM does seem like a great guy. But as the last Jauron defender on earth (the fact he got 7 wins out of that talent is amazing!), being a nice guy in the nfl only gets you so far.

Haha fair. I like other fans of other teams so I welcome even if they are homers. I’ll definitely bet on over 8 wins for KC.

I don’t think anyone doubts Allen’s physical skills.

I thought this was well thought out and fairly reasonable. But even as someone who loves Mahomes, 19-0??? ? stick to reasonable predictions like Josh Allen being the NFL Mvp. I would guess most fan bases see the Bills as average to below average. Just need to prove them wrong but how do we view the Lions? Kinda the same thing.

I don’t listen that much to GR but my take on the Allen pick is the far overwhelming evidence is guys like him struggle to become consistent NFL qbs. And the Bills aren’t exactly a model franchise in developing qbs. He has all the tools and has a great attitude. But as much as some people want to take a victory lap, a 52% and 67 qb rating doesn’t mean he’s made it. And while I have doubts, nothing would make me happier (and I assume Schoop because it’s not fun talking about an irrelevant team) that Allen proves to be the guy.

Starting this thread is going to show him!!! i used to hate him but it sometimes makes interesting points. I just can’t believe how sensitive some fans are. The preseason doesn’t mean anything and we see it every year. And whether you agree with him, he does at least have some reasoning behind his thoughts.

It’s not high school football. You need to win ultimately. Dick Jauron had a nice atmosphere here. 7-9, I guess he’s fine. 6-10 or worse, barring a major injury, should really give some thought to changing the coach.

Because Fox Sports is so much better!!! Step 1 on anything negative about the Bills, attack the credibility of the source. Step 2 completely misread what is being said. I don’t think there is anyway the Bills are going 4-12. But if they do, why in the world would you keep McDermott? People treat the guy like he’s the next Belichick here. What innovative thighs has he shown that he can’t be replaced? we aren’t going 4-12 so this is all moot. McDermott is a nice guy but I haven’t really seen anything elite about his coaching style. There are like 5 head coaches who matter in the NFL.

I just wanted to put out I’ve never seen a wide reaction to a post in the history of this board. It’s kinda amazing to see. i still have worries about being young Jauron. He also has been downright awful on challenges and we get destroyed in far too many games. This is a huge year to show if he is a good head coach or just a good DC.

This is the move that will crumble the dynasty. Where’s Dwayne Allen???

It was Gale Gilbert. the bills were so good, they were off limits when we played. I miss that. ?. My go to were the Houston Oilers. I love the run and shoot.

I will say looking st the list of backups, it shows how awful the qb depth is. But it’s like if Barkley is 5, he shouldn’t be a 7 or 8 because he is surrounded by 4 and 5s (though if you’re drunk ?).

Bohl became Wyoming’s head coach in 2015. Wentz was his starting qb at NDSU in 2014. https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/carson-wentz-1.html and I stand by my point. Developing two top 10 pick qbs at NDSU and Wyoming is amazing and shows the myth that Allen received bad coaching. And if Allen has a sophomore slump, he might be out of the nfl.

John, I think it’s kinda silly to ignore a whole worth of evidence for one game against the Jets (who fired everyone) and a couple of preseason games, where most qbs can look good. I’m fine with him as a backup and I’m sure he is great in the locker room. But we could be in trouble if he has to play: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BarkMa00/gamelog/2016/ but if you guys guys really want to get crazy: are we sure Allen and not Barkley gives us the best chance to win???? ?
