Pretty sure both Grier and McDaniel will be fired after a loss to the Bills this Thursday. Good time for Ross to do it with the longer week for the interims to settle in. From there, any dummy can make the call to trade Hill away for a bag of footballs. Chiefs will probably take any firepower at this point.

Dean Blandino on the broadcast...

Quite a take, and I wont roast you. But I will say, I'd rather bring back Daboll as OC than bring in McDaniel. I think after they banned his cheating double-motion thing, his scheme is donzo regardless where he is. He'd probably do best going back to SF where Shanahan can help fill in the gaps and develop him to the next level now that his one trick doesnt work anymore.

I was cracking up at all the "Mike McD-OVER" jokes

I have a hard time enjoying it while seeing the Eagles allowed to false start on every Tush Push. The NFL better get this addressed before we play them. And better not wait until after the Eagles beat us in the playoffs (Super Bowl) to fix it like they've historically done.

LOTS of Andrew Luck comparisons being thrown around on various platforms today. The problem for Joe is, he's only in year 1 of that new, big money contract. So he cant walk away anytime soon without having to give back some signing bonus/guaranteed money. And you KNOW Mike Brown is coming after every penny he can get back.

Is it worth it to do what we did to the Pats last year and just let them win in order to screw them? Let's face it, the division is still ours.

The new regime next year will be stuck with Tua for at least one more year. Which may be ok for them if he serves as a bridge for whoever they draft early next year. Tua has a cap hit of $56M, and dead cap of $99M if released, next season. But they can get out of the contract in 2027 and save over $20M (while absorbing a dead cap of $32M) Love to see it. Only way it would have been better is if the Pats paid Mac Jones too.

You missed the obvious! Kirk: Peter, how has Miami's Defense looked tonight? Peter: Ruff! Kirk: Peter, how are things going for Mike McDaniel this year? Peter: Ruff!

Mike Brown kicking himself for paying Tee Higgins now that they'll have a top 10 pick and could've just reloaded with another top WR, again! Maybe they'll pick an OL to protect their QB, but doubt it.

They're probably not too thrilled with having to get all their personal stories ready as they work hard to vamp and fill air time through an entire 2nd half of a blow out.

This is a greater revision than anything else posted so far. Maybe not for your specific posts, but you can certainly go through the many pages of the many threads we had here on the subject, and you will mainly see angry Bills fans working extra hard to disparage Cook as a person and a player, most of the time wildly inaccurately. You will see far more posts about how he isnt even worth $10M year, all the things he cant do, how he's nothing special, how we should trade him away while we can, or punish him by running him into the ground this year and wearing out his body or even injuring him before we let him walk. Any reasonable posts like yours, or @Doc Brown's stance, were the tiny minority. And even then, at this point, had we signed him to $17M/yr and sent the fanbase into a conniption, by week 2 we'd still all be here saying it looks like a good deal now. So lets not revise what was said and pretend the fanbase was totally reasonable and just worried about getting the number right. The personal attacks speak for themselves. I wasnt the one who bumped this thread, and I never intended to, and I wont go back and quote the many, MANY posts that were just bitter and wrong. But they still exist. It's difficult to take anyone seriously who is worried about a couple extra mil on Cook's contract and what that does to the cap, when we have contracts out there like Knox and Samuel. If cash/cap allocation is your main issue, then start somewhere else. Paying our best players aint it. We could have paid Cook 4/$60M+ and be fine. It isnt that contract holding us back.

Tre was the biggest nice surprise from yesterday. Very "Strong" (pun intended) in the run game, and I didnt notice him much in the pass game, which is a good thing. A lot of that could do with the level of competition we were facing yesterday, but it's still the NFL against NFL players and an old, oft-injured Tre held up very well and even flashed at times. Was nice to see if even just for the nostalgia. Looking very forward to what this secondary looks like when we get Taron, and even more so, Hancock back.

I noticed yesterday on his stat line, his TDs were 1yd and 44 yds. Showcasing how he gets it done from any distance now. And on that 44 yarder, he juked right thorugh a tackle, running through contact. This is no longer the James Cook of 2022.

This is the type of Karma that Mike Brown farms with his dumb approach to re-signing/not paying players.

1/$12M but we tacked on a few void years, so his cap hit this year is only $5.35M I need someone who is more of a capologist than I am to explain to me what happens with the void years money if we re-sign to a new deal.

I dont want him to stink. I'm one of the Bills fans that realize we can have more than one nice thing. It doesnt have to be Fred or Marshawn, or Fred or CJ, or Jimbo or Davis... I'd love to have a RB room with 3 great players. And I think we have a couple of very good pieces to compliment Cook. But the over-hype Davis got by fans who were just looking for, begging for, making up reasons to disparage Cook as a person and a player was so ridiculous, it's bound to bite Davis in the butt this year when he doesnt live up to the "Thurman Thomas comparisons". He's right where a lot of us said he is, somewhere between Singletary and Moss. And that's about what you get with those 3rd round RBs. Bit of a slow start this season, but I'm hoping he finds his legs and vision soon. It's nice to have that 1-2 punch of Cook and Davis, with Ty making an occasional crazy play in the pass game.

When Allen came back in and the Offense sputtered, I my have sarcastically texted a few people with "Put Trubisky back in!" Dont want to see it for any extended time, but Mitch did good in his spot duty. Another good thing to come out of today.

That's right! Typo, my bad

I tend to disagree with this as plenty of bad QBs have had their best games against us. Easton Stick had a career day against us a couple years ago, as did a hapless Russell Wilson that same year. Trevor Lawrence has had our number a couple times. And we made Skylar Thompson look legit. At the same time, he's always had Tua's number and has done a great job shutting down Lamar almost every time we play the Ravens (or at least containing him more than most teams do). I think the real criticism with the McDefense is you just never know what you are going to get week to week.

Trap games dont exist Josh and Joey dominate Bills by a Billion

I was worried about how he would fare here, given his... arrogance (being "a Bosa", coming from Ohio St, being in SD/LA). Would he really play here, or just see it as a small detour in his career and path to a bigger market? But man, he's really embraced it. I loved hearing him talk about how Buffalo reminds him of his days at OSU and that college atmosphere back when he was playing for the love of the game. He really does seem to be enjoying every second. I always want players to get as much money as they can, but hopefully his $155M in career earning and the chance to win multiple championships with Josh help get him to give us a home team discount.

Maybe not that rare in this Division 🤷‍♂️
