I agree about the screeching. It drives me out of the room. He's okay as an interviewer and commentator, but absolutely not what you want in a play-by-play man.

Idiotic

Barry Sanders. This was my choice before I even read Alphadawg7's post. Obviously he's a wise person.

Tyler Dunn = no thanks He doesn’t even know the meaning of the word “vanquishing” but he uses it in the mistaken belief it makes him seem smart.

I wonder what people think about Sean McDermott?

I used to ride my bike over to that motel (on Mile Strip Road) and watch the practice on the field behind the motel. Only a handful of other fans would be there, and the players coming out of the motel would joke with them. I remember Harry Jacobs wearing a golf hat instead of a helmet. The team (and the AFL) was so low-rent back then, it's hard to grasp how different and overwhelmed by money things in the NFL are today.

That time Scarlett Johansson saw me wearing a Bills hat and came home with me.

A person should know better than even to take a look at—let alone start—a thread that has the name "McDermott" in it, because it will immediately descend into the same obsessive pissing and moaning by his haters, without a trace of originality. You'd be better off hitting your head with a two-by-four for the next hour or so. That's all I got on this subject.

This is why I don't even bother to engage with these posters anymore.

Rex was a clown. He destroyed the Schwartz defense he inherited.

I'm not expecting much out of him and I certainly hope the Bills aren't depending on him to be other than the erratic player he's been so far. They're taking the shotgun approach with all these WR signings hoping that one of them hits. That seems reasonable given the situation they find themselves in losing Diggs and Davis, cutting Harty and Sherfield, etc. What I'm really hoping for is Brady doing a better job of scheming the receivers--including backs and tight ends--open, and not depending on getting number 1 receiver production out of any of them.

I think he will commit fewer turnovers. It's hard to say whether he'll have a significant drop in passing yards or TDs. I suspect that any reduction in passing will be made up for by an increase in team rushing and time of possession. I don't expect him to run more than he has in the past. All this depends of course on Allen staying healthy. That's always the thing that I worry about the most. Overall I expect the offense, once they get used to the new system and play calling, to function well. A lot of the team's success will depend if they can make up for the big changes on defense--if they have better injury luck they should hold their own.

I have absolutely no problem with people standing at exciting moments of the game. That's not what I'm complaining about. Standing for third down plays strikes me as pushing it.

Nope. Standing all game so nobody who sits can see the game is stupid and obnoxious.

What a clown. An arrogant, privileged clown. I should add that he has every right to express whatever opinions he likes, and people can take them for whatever they are worth, even if I consider him an arrogant clown.

Brutal schedule. We don’t know how good this version of the Bills will be, but I could see them having a down season, missing the playoffs.

Bills receivers last year saw 545 targets total. Assuming that the Bills throw the ball as much as they did in 2023 (they may not, however): WIDE RECEIVERS (329 targets last year): Shakir got only 45 targets last year. I think that doubles this year to 90. Assuming Coleman gets integrated into the offense quickly, he may start slowly but by the end of the season gets 85. Samuel gets 75. Last year Sherfield got 22 targets. This year Shorter plays and gets 20. Hollins gets 20 Hamler or Claypool 10 TIGHT ENDS (82 total last year): Kincaid got 91 targets in 2023. I think he gets at least that many. Say 100. Knox sees more action and gets 50 targets. RUNNING BACKS (85 total last year): Cook had 54 targets in 2023. He gets 60 targets in '24. Murray got 22 in 2023. His replacement Davis gets 20 in '24. Johnson gets 10. That totals 540 targets. Of course this is may all be moonshine. I'm assuming tight ends and running backs are used more as pass receivers than they were in the first half of 2023. I may be very wrong about Knox getting targeted more; if so his increased targets will be scattered among the others.

I see nothing that persuades me that, as some here seem to be worried, the Bills will become a "run-first" offense. What I see is them trying to assure their passing game will not be negated by a physical defense. That Allen will not have to carry the offense, in particularly the running, by himself. To conclude that the play calling will be "run-run-pass" is silly, in my opinion.

Just to be accurate, it hasn't been "seven years with the most talented QB in NFL history." The first year (2017) Allen was not even on the team. For his first two years (2018, 2019) in no way shape or form was he "the most talented QB in NFL history" or even in the league at that time. You could argue that 2020 was the first year Allen could be called a great QB. So that's four years and counting. I agree that ever year it's Super Bowl or bust as long as he stays healthy. But it's far from the easy thing that so many Bills fans here seem to think.

I've read a lot of the comments here but by no means all, and a lot of commentary on the web about Coleman and the Bills drafting him. Here's my take for whatever it may be worth. I think Beane is taking a calculated risk in drafting a WR with such both negative and positive elements in his history and profile. I compare it to him drafting Josh Allen in 2018 in that in both cases both negative and positive evaluators could cite evidence to support their view. Beane could not move up to get one of the top three receivers and still draft other players to fill the many holes on the current roster. So he bets on the underlying athletic qualities and work ethic of Coleman, the fact that he has not played WR that long, is very young and still learning. His performance in the shuttle rather than his 40 time, etc. If it works out and Coleman is able to refine his native ability, learn better how to beat defensive backs—and if the offense is designed to let him do what he excels in and not immediately force him to do things he can't do (yet), there's a good chance he can, as Allen did, grow into a franchise player. It may not pay off, but the other WRs available in his estimation do not have that upside. It's a riskier move than drafting some of the other second round receivers, but I think Beane sees it as at least one path giving the Bills a franchise receiver. Coleman is a long way from that now, and is not going to be able to replace Diggs this season, but that's the bet he's making.

That's it! I'm done with this team! They keep drafting some players and not drafting other players! Morons.

So should the Bills have drafted him to keep the Chiefs from getting him? Because it was pretty likely the Chiefs would get him anyway.

Ruff's record with the Dallas Stars was 165-122-41. His record with the Devils was 128-125-28. Under him, two years ago New Jersey had its best points total ever, going 52-22-8. In his eight seasons with other teams since he left the Sabres, he made the playoff three times.

Yes, unless Josh is injured.
