I have always contended that we probably wouldn't know the name of either guy if they were in half of the teams in the league.
Brady made them stars.
100%. Hell, Edelman was a QB in college or something, wasn’t he?

Honestly, you just seem intent on disproving the idea that New England didn't make big investments in WR's.
Still haven't quite managed that, however.
I agree they never had awesome wideouts, but they had elite slot guys in Welker and Edelman.

We drafted the lead singer of Midnight Oil?

I got COMPLETELY the opposite.
It was never a DT at #30 in my book. I saw zero evidence if interest in it.
So, if one of the top DTs had magically fallen to us at 30, you believe Beane would have taken Hairston anyway? I’m not saying you’re wrong. I’m interested in your learned opinion on something I don’t research one iota.
OK, maybe ONE iota, but definitely not two. 😉 -
I dunno. Listening to Beane’s presser, I got the feeling he thought he was getting a DT yesterday, and was a tad disappointed having to “settle” for Hairston. Not from anything he said but by his demeanor. 🤷

...I would not hate this given the injury history of our linebackers
I won’t be surprised at all.

Do we really need the player interviews?
"How do you feel?"
"Great, I'm excited and ready to go."
30X over and over again.
No doubt. I’m praying for one of them to be like “WTF, there’s no way I’m playing for that sh1t organization”. Now that would get me up in my chair!

Bigger worry for us should be DK doesn’t want to play in the cold because of his asthma and Hendrickson now costs 30M per year, at minimum, on extension with Garrett and Crosby’s deals. He won’t get paid like them, but like Saquon’s deal and Cook, they will be referenced.

Did he look as fast at any point in the year as he did on the first play against New England when he needed that sack to hit his bonus? Did he look that fast at any point after?
He ran pretty well for 40 yards with that scoop after Lamar’s fumble in the playoff game. Still can’t believe that guy didn’t knock it out of his hands.

Boy, I'd love a scatter plot of each team's overall ranking and their winning percentage. I see we're in pretty good company down in the bottom third.

Stones show in '81. I was 15 and my parents finally caved and let me go because "they may never tour again". LOL.
Got a bit overserved at the tailgate. Stood on the field about 20 yards from the stage, packed shoulder to shoulder. It was warm and muggy.
George Thorogood and the Destroyers are working their way through "One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer" and my lights went out. Couldn't fall anywhere so I just slumped straight down. My older brother took me up to the concourse to get some air, and I was good to go.
Journey got booed off the stage after about five songs and then the Stones rocked the house.

It's the same results. The one constant is the head coach.
That’s one intellectually lazy analysis, IMO.

I kind of think it’s year by year because it’s tied with Allen’s peak window.
Next year is his age 29 season.
You see some posts about McDermott getting 2-3 more years, which obviously takes Allen into his 30’s.
With the contracts this team has allocated already, the 2025 roster can be very similar to the 2024 roster.
Beane and McDermott can effectively run it back if they deem behind closed doors that the Bills are close.
Publicly, that’s Beane and McDermott’s stance in the end of year press conferences.
I personally think (and hope) they're smarter than laying their cards on the table for 2025 in an end of year press conference. That would be kinda dumb before the draft and free agency, IMO.

7-7 career in the Playoffs.
7-6 in the Playoffs with Allen.
0-5 on the road in the Playoffs.
5-1 in the Wildcard, 2-3 in the Divisional, 0-2 in the AFCCG, 0-4 now against the Chiefs in the Playoffs.
You'd think it has to happen sooner than later, but that's just me.
You do have Josh Allen.
I would think there would be interested candidates for the position.
Reading the comments, over 50% of the fanbase is happy to keep McDermott indefinitely regardless of Playoff results. And the reasoning for this mostly seems to be who else are you going to get.
Strange to me that a Defensive Coordinator is entitled to Allen's entire career without making a Super Bowl but I guess just waiting for one magic year with the 2nd best QB on the planet.
I guess I and many others are in the camp of "We're really close. We're competitive with the Chiefs-- they're not blowing us out (even though it kinda feels like it) and we've proven we can beat them in the regular season. If we make smart moves with players and scheme modifications, I think we can get there".
That said, if the record goes the wrong way and there's a sense he's losing the locker room and/or Josh's trust, then all bets are off and he probably has to go.

I think the goal with a new coach wouldn’t be to go 16-1 or 17-0 but to not lose to KC in the playoffs again.
Where do we look for such a no-brainer, slam-dunk coach that's out there laying around unemployed?
Maybe we can look at coaches that have beaten them in the playoffs or regular season recently.

It got peoples’ attention and got them talking, like this thread. From a marketing standpoint, “mission accomplished”.

Cook was the only guy on offense who showed up ready to play. Should have been feeding him all game.
I think Mack Hollins showed up ready to play.

If the players didn’t believe they can beat them, I don’t think the score would have been nearly as close as it was. Plus, I read somewhere that they actually beat them earlier in the season.
Next question.

There’s always a thread that convinces me to tune out of TSW until the draft. This might be it.

Been enduring disappointments like these for over 50 years, so I'm to the point where my recovery time is measured in hours, not days.
Today, I treated myself well-- bundled up and went for a long walk on a cold, sunny day. Treated myself to a nice lunch out. Then got a 1 hour massage.
Although I'm here, I'm trying to limit the doom-scrolling. It's a lot of people talking past each other and fixes nothing.
Go Bills!!!
