Good post. And you make good points. Honestly, if any team this, I’d question it. I just care the most about the Bills. I love the Pegulas for saving our teams. I think they will be great owners in time. But handcuffing Whaley with coaches and now hiring the head coach before the GM are normally ways to make certain your GM fails. head coach and GM are completely different jobs. I think SM has a huge say in personnel here. That’s fine with defensive personnel but I worry he has a big say in offensive personnel as well. Additionally, if they disagree on a player or if SM has a terrible year, how does Beane win that argument or fire him after SM helped him get the job? If they win, who cares? But this hiring process is really out there and opens yourself up for questions. Especially when you trade a pick to your former boss (Andy Reid) that turns into the nfl mvp. “A rising tide lifts all boats.”

Are you? Serious question. You’re such a catty teenage girl. Follow me here Sabrina the Teenage Poster. The Bills hire McDermott with Whaley. Then they go through the draft, fire Whaley, and hired the GM who was McDermott’s friend in Carolina. When you do a process that less than 1% of teams do, it leads you open to questions (but not by superfan Eball!).

When they aren’t on your team, they are d bags and cocky. When they are on your team, it’s swagger and confidence.

Fair but if he was doing a bunch of blow, partying into the morning during SB week, and being awful to women (allegedly)? Baker talks a lot but besides getting dropped by that cop, what bad stuff has he really done?

Because McDermott Gave his friend a job. 1) they didn’t let the last GM hire his own coaches. 2). They hired the coach before the GM. There’s a reason why no good teams operate like this. There’s no way Beane can fire McDermott.

We lack that elite pass rusher like they have. I just don’t think Hughes or Murphy are good enough. Still a lot of very good pieces on the defense.

What super good qb doesn’t have an ego? My understanding is Jim Kelly was Baker on steroids.

Insane to say any of this at this point. I hate cute, funny girls too.

I used to think he was a giant (or little douche). But he is really good, really good. He’s the next Brees.

Whaley’s roster after 3 years: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/buf/2015_roster.htm McBeane after 3 years: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/buf/2018_roster.htm which team wins head to head?

The Mario offseason was way better. Gase might be a weirdo but he has a high winning % than McDermott. Honestly, I think the Bills and Jets are basically the same team. It will depend on which Qb progresses more this year.

Smart move not to start the season with another qb besides a 2nd year one then.

I love the potential Edmunds has and he is far from a problem. But given the trade up, he needs to be a Luke Kuechly type player. It’s why non qb trade ups are so risky. We gave up picks and passed on two guys who were better than Edmunds as rookies, LVE and Leonard. MLB is a very instinctive position and some of that is innate. TE is probably one of the best defensive athletes in the nfl. I think he can be a very good MLB but I wonder if he would be an even better OLB. Concussions are fake news. As my coach told me, it’s just getting your bell rung and put some dirt on it. Concussions separate the mentally weak from the strong. The more concussions you get, the better of a man you are.

Why? What did giving Jauron and Gailey extra time give us? Honestly, if it wasn’t for a fluke playoff berth (which we as fans deserved), there has been a bunch of bad football their first 2 years. i swear a regime has never been given as much of a pass as them. People love to hate on Whaley but his rosters after 3 years was stronger than this current roster after 3 years, minus Josh Allen turning into a franchise qb. Our offense has been brutal and for some reasons, fans just ignore it because McBeane are nice guys. Yeah, I don’t get why fans get mad about this. Would we have picked the Browns to be good the last 15 years? The Bills have been the feisty team that doesn’t have a ton of talent, crappy qbs that scrap their way to 6-9 wins.

Is there anything more pathetic than crying about Madden ratings? I’m so mad I won’t play the game and it sucks now. What a bunch of babies (players and fans alike). Yes all the people at Madden are completely biased against your team! Yup and they do updates. And stick with me here. If the Bills are better than people think, they will be given boosts!

He’s a clown because he is trying to make as much money as he can playing a position that teams don’t value anymore? I get he has done dumb things but this is exactly what he should be doing. He has leverage and teams have no loyalty to players, especially rbs. The Cowboys are in a tough spot but they will play him because Jerry loves scumbags.

Yup. Personally, I wanted a guy with a better nfl resume than Daboll to guide Allen but I guess we’ll see. But with all the qbs he took a job in their second year, they had guys with much more nfl success than Daboll guiding them. I worry that SM could have the Chan issue where the other side of the ball cost him. And SM seems like a nice guy and probably a good guy to play for. But top 10 right now is laughable. They have had a negative point differential in both years, his OC and QB managing have been questionable at best, and he has been terrible at coaching challenging. The good news is most coaches are a dime a dozen so if Allen is a franchise guy, he will be fine because he is a good defensive coach. But anything less than .500 this year (minus Allen getting hurt) should be considered a failure. And if Russel Wilson didn’t become Russell Wilson, he would have been fired too. So it all comes back to if your qb is good enough. If Allen is good, SM will be fine. If not, he won’t be long for the job. I don’t know. I like Tomlin and thinks he gets too much blame (but that’s the job I guess). Those 2 players (Bell and Brown and it sounds like Big Ben is a part of the problem too) are some of the most selfish players in NFl history. And they still went in 9-7. I think the Steelers have a playoff season this year and Tomlin gets Coach if the year consideration.

I respect that someone thinks Barkley and his career 68 qb rating are undervalued in Madden!

Another huge factor is Brady takes less money that doesn’t handicap the Pats.

The 49ers did. Also, it shows how overrated the GM of the Colts and Packers were. The Bills would win 7 games with Trent Edwards and JP Losman. and Tim Tebow made the playoffs. Flukes happen. Belichick has never won a playoff game without Brady. It’s complete speculation to say he could do this without Brady too. He has never won a playoff game without Brady. And Carroll had a better first 6 years than Belichick. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/coaches/CarrPe0.htm

Disagree Gunner. He was carried by a great defense and his offense (his specialty) sucked. It’s been the same way in Jacksonville. He has shown no ability to develop qbs and his offensive attack is from a different decade. He will get fired this year.

He had one winning season in his first 6 years. In today’s nfl, he won’t have made it that long. He was basically Dick Jauron until he got Brady.

His behavior in Buffalo is the outliner of his entire life. He has had issues since high school.

Joe Gibbs is the most underrated coach in nfl history. Most great coaches have a great qb. What Gibbs did with his qbs is amazing.

But Belichick didn’t before Brady. He was on his way to getting fired by a second team until Mo Lewis changed history.
