I’m leaning forwards what you are saying, but I don’t think Dabs gets canned next year. They will likely have a first round pick rookie QB, the owner will give him at least a year or two to work with him.
I think the path leads us to Joe Brady. He’s going to be an OC next year, be it with us or someone else. Coming out of his work with Joe Burrow, he was viewed as a future HC. Next year is Brady’s 3rd on staff, second (ish) as an OC. He will have a working relationship with every coach on the roster, worked directly with Allen, and won’t clean house.
The hype and expectation bar for him as an OC is sky high, but if he matches it he can be our guy. I’d be willing to bet Pegs doesn’t want to let another DaBoll out of the building.
I’ll add this. The Diggs piece is important, too. If he’s going to be here, and he likely will be on next year’s roster, whomever is the coach has to be able to handle that personality. From what I understand he is a handful. I’ll leave that point with this: Maddy Glab was right. Take it for what it’s worth.

That is fair to say, as I have been a strong advocate to keep McD around for 2024. I made a super well received thread on it, which I totally didn’t delete.
I know he likely needs to go, that we’ve likely peaked, and he has shown he’s isn’t reliable decision maker in do or die moments.
My lone hesitation is like yours, the 2023 candidates for HC. Pickings are very thin.
I fully believe, at the end of the day, it comes down on the HC. We fired 2 OCs, a DC, and probably soon to be 2 SPCs.
This team will be best served with an offensive minded head coach, but I hate the idea of wiping this whole staff away. We have some gems.
This is where I’m at. He’s a good coach. He will succeed somewhere else. I also question whether he’s the guy to get us where we need to be.
My hesitation in blowing him out is that we have to have an idea of his replacement before the move is made. I’m not all set on Ben Johnson or Bobby Slowik because they haven’t been in the big seat before and there’s on-the-job training that I’m not sure we have time for. My preference for next year, and others will complain about this, is Brian Daboll. He checks all the boxes - HC experience, respected in the locker room, excellent relationship with Josh, willing to accept criticism and input, knows the culture around here, and is wound way less tightly than McDermott. All of those things, in my view, are essential in the next hire.

So you are arguing there was no regulation, policy or position from the current administration that manipulated supply?
please argue that. It will demonstrate my point.
You seem to be the one saying that the government has limited gasoline production and availability. So show your cards and point to the policy that has limited the market’s supply of that fuel.

it comes from fundamental economics.Do you not grasp why complaints about exploding commodity prices particularly gas prices was directly connected to a lack of free market, not because of it??
Last I checked supply and demand largely dictated gas prices. Unless you're blaming the government for choking supply (which would seem bizarre, given withdrawals from the strategic oil reserve and increased domestic production), then perhaps you're secretly a proponent of a command economic model with respect to fuel production and distribution.

regulatory price fixing solves commodity inflation?
That’s an even funnier take than slightly lower inflation should lead to price reduction…
financial literacy is a tragic societal problem….
it seems to be getting worse as we approach idiocracy
I'm not sure where this comes from. We have a Trumper supporting whining about communism, while at the same time many Trumpers whine about free-market pricing raising the cost of gas. So which one is it? Command economy or the whims of the market with respect to fuel prices?

That would be an incredible play to make. Injury settlement. It would have to be a ton. He has no reason to take it. Regardless of what this has to do with my following statement:
He has no class or care for decency. In his rookie year with the whole rookie wage deal he had many alarming statements. He said it was good for everyone knowing he is likely to get a high paying second contract, he and drew brees talked about older players needkng to save their money. He has failed NFL drug tests, tried to pass of fake urine, been involved in a few DV cases, personifies a diva (more than Diggs), and is a complete tool.
Personally, I dislike him and never wanted him here. He's always been hoaky to me. I hope we can get out of his contract and ditch him ASAP.
Regarding this case: I hope he is innocent and the woman made this all up and was always safe. I hope he didn't offer her money, intimidate or interfere with her denying all of this. I hope all of this is legally settled properly and he is innocent and treated as innocent.
He won't take an injury settlement. He is too shrewd. He will force the hand and his greedy selfish ass will get paid. He's gonna end up like Ray Lewis. Everyone knows he is a piece of ***** but... Oh well.
His shrewdness gives me hope that he takes some sort of haircut to end this mess. Assuming this all shakes out against Miller and the guarantees are voided, the Bills could take the hit amongst the players (both in terms of those who are here and those who they may wish to recruit in the future), give Miller a hearty handshake, keep the $10m guaranteed for next year, and send him on his way post-June 1. The other option might be to cut a deal whereby Miller gets a little bit of cash to perhaps add some void years to the contract to make the cap hit for unpaid monies ($23m, I believe) more manageable. He gets more cash than he otherwise would, we get cap relief, and the optics (to the players' eyes) are better for the organization.

Very well said. Thank you for putting this in here.
This woman has apparently been with Von for 7 years and has other children with him. It may be they don't have a formal legal child support arrangement - her entire income and ability to support herself and the other children may depend upon his good will to keep paying her. Meanwhile Von can afford much better lawyers and accountants and could delay child support hearings for months or years, or fail to pay for months or years with minimal consequences to himself in many cases.It's very common (this is from LEO friends and someone who works with DV shelters) that financial dependence is a huge factor for people with much more typical working-folks incomes. The woman is often a SAHM caring for multiple small children. Partners who are prone to DV are usually high-control in other aspects of the relationship, and asking someone to quit their job and stay home to care for children, "I'll take care of you" financially, is a common way to render someone totally dependent on the high-control partner and thus vulnerable to abuse.
Then if there's a DV incident, immediately afterwards the high-control partner expresses remorse, promises change, then starts in with guilt - "sweetums, you know what will happen if you go forward with these charges, I'll lose my job, I won't be able to support you and the kids, how can you do this me? to our babies?".
There are published studies of these patterns based on jailhouse visit recordings and interviews.
2023 paper: 53% of DV cases, the victim recants and stops cooperating. Many of these are cases with physical evidence and witnesses, but the prosecutor doesn't usually bring charges if the victim won't cooperate. It's one reason why most LEO hate DV calls with a passion, in many cases it's very clear what's happening but they're volatile situations where anything can happen (including the officers being shot at) and even when it's clear to everyone what's really going on and an arrest is made, they very rarely result in charges and even less often in conviction. So it's personal risk and a lot of paperwork for nothing and a huge source of frustration.
Note: I'm not saying that Von Miller is guilty, or that the situation happened as described in the arrest warrant. I'm just saying that the woman recanting and saying it's all a big misunderstanding now, doesn't mean that he isn't, or that it didn't. It's more common than not in these situations.
All of this is true. I’ll add an observation: for her to contact the police suggests to me that she probably was fed up with what I will guess is a pattern of this behavior. It’s not uncommon in a situation that similar to what we appear to have before us for the emergency call to be made by a victim who has endured a pattern of abuse and who makes the call because she (or he, occasionally) has reached her tipping point.

How very commie of you.

95% of the time it is dropped. All you have is body cam and uncooperative witness statements, and a prosecutor realizes that with only that at trial they will lose, even if they are and know they are right to prosecute. Sad to say
the prosecutor will need much more, like you said, security cams, but then getting it and having it be admissible isnt an easy task for a prosecutor
A 911 call + security cam video might do the trick here. But yes, I agree with you, a non-cooperating victim typically will lead to a motion to dismiss.

Woof. Not good. Not the end of the world, but not good. Video might make it a little tougher for Mr. Green to help Miller out of this one.

What I have to say I find interesting is that he still hasn’t turned himself in. Maybe counsel is negotiating with the police and it’s going to be done after hours. But in this day and age it’s hard to believe Miller doesn’t know about this and it would unusual if some steps toward submitting to arrest haven’t been taken.

Let alone the stress/trauma caused to the fetus during that whole ordeal.
Sure, that’s an issue. The point I’m
making though is that those who strangle are more likely to kill. It’s a gigantic, flaming warning beacon and such types of DV cases are taken very seriously.

the hands around the neck allegation is the kicker that intensifies this. interesting indeed.
this thread not having any Jauronimo snark is disappointing.
Strangulation is a huge, huge red flag in DV cases. Increases exponentially the possibility that the Vic ultimately will become a homicide Vic.

without her cooperation it will be dropped.
Maybe, maybe not. Depends what other evidence (911, photos, security cams) is available. But there is a good chance that it goes away if she doesn’t cooperate.

They found bruises on her ABDOMEN. A pregnant woman. Also bruises on her neck and minor abrasions on her hand.
Innocent until proven guilty, but what is the best case scenario for Von given those facts?
He buys the alleged victim off, she doesn’t testify, and the prosecutor declines to prosecute.

This is wrong but my first thought is "Does he have a morality clause in his contract we can leverage?"
EDIT: Just in case this needs to be said. Abusing anyone is wrong, but especially a loved one. It's horrific behavior that creates generational trauma. I'm not saying Miller is guilty, just that the act of domestic abuse is disgusting.
Sadly, mine too. The consideration should be with the unborn and with the alleged victim.
But, were we to view this from a football perspective, and under the belief that there is a morality clause in Miller’s contract that could be affected by this issue, I’d note that I would await further opinion until the police report is published. At this point, anything is possible. It may have merit, it may not, it may be that it’s a “woman scorned” situation and she’s looking to jam him up over nothing, or there may be some legitimacy to this. I’ll add that, knowing a little bit about how things work in New York State, the fact that there seems to be some sort of police report and sworn information supporting the issuance of an arrest warrant (and the fact that the alleged perpetrator fled the scene) suggests that this might be more than a “woman scorned” scenario.
As an aside, this is why the Bills hired someone like Terry Gilbride—a seasoned pro—as general counsel to replace the neophyte who previously graduated into that role.

So, the gist of it is, BLM denies association with the purported BLM guy who likes Trump, but Trump is still honored to have BLM support.
I have a hard time keeping up with the Trump web of lies and shifting positions, but at this point it still seems that Trump now believes that BLM is good. If I was MAGA, then I would try to keep this in mind at the next meeting so that, when you're done yelling about Mexicans, complaining the price of insulin and ozempic, bragging about the carrion jerky that you munched in your pickup on the way over, and denigrating the doctor who told you to lose 100 pounds and quit the high tar Senecas, you're all on the same page about BLM.

Maybe MAGA missed the update: Trump now says that BLM is good. This after years of subtle racism and demonizing people who simply think that a petty thief doesn't deserve a vigilante death penalty imposed based upon the color of his skin. And MAGA is worried about the mental acuity of a guy who helped Ukraine stay free, righted the economy, and piloted an economy that has more Americans working than at any point in the history of our great country. Maybe next MAGA will express concern about fantasies like the absence of a Colorado border wall, or windmill cancer, or run on Trump-branded Fart in a Jar at Wal Mart.

FYI. I figured I'd leave this here in case Newsmax or Red State Update or Rumble or whatever doesn't report this in advance of the next MAGA meeting. It's important that our MAGA friends know what Trump is thinking these days so that they know what to say about the issue. These things change a lot but, at this point, I think MAGA now has to say that BLM is good, that the Antifa Air Force still is a threat, that the North Korean government is good, and that windmill cancer remains a threat.

Hahahaha. You really think Sal knows if Pegula is considering firing McDummy?
Probably not. But he does spend time at OBD and talk to people around the office. It wouldn’t shock me if he’s catching vibes that maybe Terry is treating Sean different, or Beane is acting differently, or the assistants are worrying about having to move their kids, or whatever. Capaccio is a homer of the nth degree who seems to really enjoy his interaction with the Bills, so if he has been more downcast on McD then it’s telling.

Gregg Williams. Dickball actually won 13 games in Chicago one year, I believe, and Chan made a lot of chicken salad in his time here. Greggo, however, was a special case. He showed us all how someone can be over prepared for a job but still never ready for it.

My kid went to football camp with his son. He happened to walk up and stand next to me while the kids were doing drills. I chatted with him for a few minutes. Didnt find him unapproachable or intense. Then again I wasnt asking him for an autograph, a picture, or why he doesnt win games in overtime. Tend to find if you treat people like human beings there isnt an issue.
I would never, ever bother anyone for an autograph. Never. And I didn’t want/need/attempt/care to talk to him. But I have seen him around town and he strikes me as a guy who likes to be left alone, which is totally fine. (I’m the same way, for what it’s worth. I don’t want to be bothered with chit chat about my job or the nonsense of the day at my kids’ practices.)

Call Pegula and tell him that McD is done. That’s what he can do.

This is great. Rabbit ears on the d-line. There better have been a really good reason for both of those guys to engage the fan.

Why would you dislike McD as a human being? You literally dont know the guy personally.
Seriously. He’s super intense and unapproachable in public. But that doesn’t mean he’s a bad guy at all. He probably just has everyone up his butt asking him about every blessed thing all the time and he likes to be left alone. His job performance and his humanity are two completely different things.

Not the issue. I agree with you. The problem is finding someone capable of managing and tolerating that difficult and volatile personality.
