May Day 10

His rookie season. Because he wasn't pooping his pants and turning the ball over, he was on the same trajectory as Tom Brady. Also, it is natural for NE fans to assume they will someday control the Division for decades and see perpetual Superbowl berths for a generation. Heck, us Bills fans did/do once we got a franchise QB. 4 Years is an amazing run. Most Divisions turn over every season to 2 or 3 at the top. The additional 1st place schedule game in the NFC makes it even more difficult. I remember as a Bills fan in the mid-90s, it felt like the Chargers, Steelers, etc were just keeping the Bills' seat warn until we reassumed the top of the AFC again.

No Bills opponents

I guess picks and cap. They have to build the entire thing, which can be faster than people think as long as the cap is clear. The Division is tough too. My favorite job if I were a coach is the Bears. Also, I think Vrabel's abilities are getting inflated right now. He got fat on a freak superlative generational RB and his eliminated team tried hard in a couple games. Awful division most of his tenure as well. High floor, low ceiling type of coach. I would be much more worried about the offensive visionary type.

If I'm Vrabel, I'm taking a better opportunity with a smaller shadow to work in Mac Jones went a couple games without an interception, and their fans and media were calling him brady and planning 6 more parades

If I were Vrabel, I would stay far from New England. Expectations are sky high there, even at the beginning of a rebuild. He is following in the shoes of arguably the greatest of all-time. There are going to be his choice of suitors which would be better circumstances.

I wonder if they like Vrabel. He has done a terrific job in Seattle, really transformed the organization.

I dont know what New England is doing. I get Belichick earned the respect not to be turfed on black monday... but what the heck is going on? Now the 'solution' might be to bring McDaniels back?

Sounds like Daboll is a bit of a problem. Closer to Rex Ryan than Bill Belichick

Its odd to me that so many of them seem to think that Allen runs around and always rubs it in the face of the other team when the Bills win.... and also throws tantrums and no class when they lose. Neither of those is even close to true.

I have said it elsewhere. Credit where it is due, McDermott and the staff coached an excellent game (although the 1st down runs into a wall were driving me nuts). If Allen got that last 1st down to run out the 4th quarter, I think McDermott would have gotten even more credit.

I saw somewhere that Miami had 100 yards rushing at halftime and ended with 108. They also only had 4 plays of offense in the 3rd quarter

That "Superphin" guy goes around spreading his feces everywhere and degrades the entire board.

Initial feelings (looked at this a couple weeks ago to be honest). 1st place schedules are more unforgiving with the 17th game. Maybe another Bills @ Lions Thanksgiving game? Home schedule looks manageable. Shoot for 7-1 and can go 5-4 with that really difficult-looking away-slate to get to 12-5. At least they avoid the bengals. Primetime games: @Ravens, @Dolphins, 49ers, Jets (Thurs), and something weird on MNF like @Houston

I'd take Rivera for one of those "assistant" coach positions. No to coordinator. Very well respected by players I think. Good history with mcdermott

If the bears opens up, I like that better. Bonus points for qb on a rookie deal and easier of the conferences

The way that team has collapsed, I wonder what the deal is behind the scenes. There has got to be serious drama in the lockerroom and I wonder if Sirianni is directly involved.

A team built 100% on speed is doomed to fail. Itll look great on paper and in September and October, but the NFL season is a war of attrition. Eventually, speed gets slowed down.

I think I want KC to be honest. This is assuming Cleveland wins, and assuming the Bills win (dont worry, Im plenty worried about Pittsburgh) I trust Cleveland to beat Baltimore moreso than Miami. I would also rather play this version on KC here than that punchy Browns team. Would also be nice balance to knock Mahomes out in Buffalo to go to the AFCCG (and he has to come here next season)

Really though, this has to be borderline traumatizing for Dolphins fans. I cant imagine what it would have been like to have a season like this in the drought and have New England just ***** it up in Buffalo the last week of the season in front of a stadium full of their own fans.

Reading some of the "content" over there... I never realized what kind of perceived dominance a lot of their long-time fans see that the Bills have over Miami. But now that I think about it, someone my age (45) would feel that way, absolutely. The Bills basically bottled up most of Marino's career. And Allen owns them in this era. Looked up their records. From the Dolphins' start in 1966 to 1986, Miami held a 34-7-1 record against the Bills, which is why the generation ahead of me loathes them From 1987 on, the Bills are 47-27. They just beat them 4 times in a row since the heat stroke game. The last time Miami beat Buffalo 4x in a row was 2000-2001.

Davis looked like a clown out there before he got hurt.

Fin heaven is wonderful right now.

It's great. 4 in a row is hard to do.

I thought he coached an excellent game

Harty Sherfield Rapp New guys all earned it today with huge plays. I want to give one to Allen too. Gamer. Made some awful mistakes but he put his head down like no other in this league can and earned it
