I think you would have a harder time naming 5 coaches that are better than him. If you list out your 5 I bet I can make a convincing argument he is better than most. I will even start you with McVay and Reid who I think are better than him.

This is a sean mcdermott stat. The Bills as a team vastly outperform how they should. That points directly at coaching. This stat is wrong there are 5 teams most recently the 2019 Packers. Unfortunately none of the 5 have reached the super bowl. Time to break that streak!

If the script writers have their way.... Does anyone really think the NFL doesn't have Lamar vs Josh in the Divisional round? Winner goes to Arrowhead to face the mighty chiefs? I think Denver COULD knock of the Bills but I really don't think it is likely. The Bills offense matches up very well with their defense, McD generally gives rookie QBs fits, the game is home where the Bills were undefeated. So the Bills SHOULD win this game. I think Pitt COULD knock off the Ravens but I really don't think it is likely. It took some fluky missed fgs in the first game for Pitt to win, the recent Pitt team has not played well, and Ravens at home are much better (4 of 5 losses on the road , all 3 times they scored less than 20 were on the road). So the Ravens SHOULD win this game.

It is indeed interesting that WR has become such an important high paying position when you look at the relative success of the best WRs in the game. Justin Jefferson, Jamarr Chase, CeeDee Lamb, Randy Moss, Calvin Johnson, TO, Larry Fitzgerald don't have a super bowl. Looking at recent Super Bowl winners though does show the importance of having at least a very good/great receiving weapon. Chiefs last 2 years had traded away Hill and won back to back with MVS and JuJu. They did have Kelce though. Rams had Kupp on an absolute heater that year, Bucs had Evans, Godwin, and AB, Chiefs had Hill and Kelce, Patriots had Gronk and Edelman. You could maybe argue the Eagles but Alshon Jeffrey and Zach Ertz weren't nobodies. So it can be argued that you don't need a record breaking, best in the league receiver but I also think looking at recent history shows you need good/great weapons.

I don't care about Josh winning MVP. It would be nice but ultimately has no bearing on the greatness we are lucky to witness week in and week out. That said the MVP voters really messed up last year. Jackson didn't deserve it, Josh did. His numbers were just better they were much better. This year Jackson actually has an argument for MVP but they disqualified Josh last year bc the team wasn't winning (ended up 2nd in the conference but by the then the vote had been decided). Now its the Ravens who are fighting for the division. If Josh had won MVP last year I would be perfectly ok with Lamar winning it this year. That's not how it happened and now I'll be annoyed if he doesn't win it this year lol.

Google lens returned a ton of results. https://images.app.goo.gl/RiVbuxhcZoyS4nY98

Love em. There is a ranch version as well that imo is better than the original and I love the original.

No inside info just an educated guess. When they win, the Bills will celebrate like crazy that night in New Orleans. Fly back on Monday recover on Tuesday then Parade on either Wednesday or Thursday. Either way I'll be there!

Last week I took the Monday after the super bowl off so i can celebrate in full when the BIlls win and also took the Thursday off after the super bowl so I can attend the parade. This is the year. Book it!

We got up here right at 10 and already missed out on the lot! Parked down around the corner. Does anyone know what time the ketchup and mustard routine happens?

Cant stay the night before. Im going without the wife and kids. That would NOT fly lol.

8 am is going to be tough. I'm coming from near syr. Do you think it'll be full by 1015/1030? I'm more of a lurker than poster so I don't know that it would matter lol Sweet that's perfect! Thanks!

What time does the lot open for a 4 o'clock game?

Bringing someone to their first Bills game and want to do the whole experience. Is there a way to reserve a spot in hammers lot for this weekend? @Hammered a Lot

The bolded is absolutely true. I agree with the rest of your post but wanted to highlight the very first line. People at home get multiple angles, slow motion, and the benefit of seeing a full view from the broadcast. Each official is looking at a certain spot from a certain vantage point. On field officials do not have a 360 degree view of the play. I'm thinking of the Darnold play a couple of weeks ago at the end of the game and people were made the ref couldn't see it but you could see bodies between him and the play. 7 officials, 22 players, 100 yards. It is an incredibly difficult if not impossible job. The easy solution is to give refs assistance with the things mentioned above. If we can all clearly see a penalty, why can't it be called retroactively. I get that it is a slippery slope but who cares. Call holding that happens on every play until it doesn't. It seems silly that fans accept that to be true but get upset when other penalties aren't called. Yes to all of this. Full Time officials won't make a difference imo as the issue isn't that they know the rules (I believe they do), the issue is that is impossible to see all the penalties that occur. As I mentioned above, there is no reason they can't get a little help especially in the extremely obvious cases. However I don't know that this is an issue the NFL cares to fix. People have been complaining about refs for as long as I can remember and I am sure before that even.

An additional fix I would like to see added is that IR can be retroactive. So if he misses this game and they decide to IR he would only need to miss 3 more.

I didn't realize that situation went as far back as halloween. Thanks for the summary though!

What was the rumor? Dm if you prefer...

hmmmmmm...... Mustapha has 30 total tackles (13 solo 17 assisted), 1 int returned for 1 yard, and 4 passes defended. 0 sacks and 0 forced fumbles too for good measure. Taylor Rapp has 33 total tackles (17 solo, 16 assisted), 0 ints, and 4 passes defended. Also 2 huge plays in the Jets game to break up passes. Damar Hamlin - resident whipping boy has 47 total tackles (34 solo, 13 assisted), 2 ints for 19 yards, and 5 passes defended. 2x the player you say? How many 49er games have you watched this year be honest. Here is your boy getting trucked by Mahomes:

Just head this stat on gmfb that I wanted to share and remembered this topic: The Ravens just suffered their 8th loss when leading in the last 2 minutes of the 4th quarter since the start of 2022. Imagine if the Bills lost to the 1-6 Browns with Jameis Winston as their qb yesterday! This thread was originally made tongue in cheek to the McD haters and I thought this was a good time to circle back. Just some food for thought as many people think he is a great coach (he is) and McD deserves to be fired (he doesn't).

Well he was what the 7th wr drafted? Also he is 3rd as a wr one of the guys above him is a te. Don't forget the killing from everyone when they traded with the chiefs who took worthy and how ridiculous it was they gave him to the chiefs.

All this arguing and nobody pointed out the gigantic flaw in your calculation that he wasn't running in a straight line? After his stumble he moved to the right side of the hash mark and then back to the middle of the field. At no point in time was he running in a straight line like in the 40 yard dash. https://youtube.com/shorts/7zi5eAu_JQY?si=y4bi4O0UQMW11CWg

4 of my legs hit in the first half (prop bets) the last one was over 14.5 yards receiving for singletary. He had a catch for 14 yards in the first half and then none the rest of the game! Daboll got the call from NYC! Lol

I'd like to bump this topic now that week 3 has finished up and see what people think are some narratives laid to rest as I had a new one: Ben Johnson is THE next big HC. When this board was at its bickering height and people wanted McD canned, the name always mentioned was Ben Johnson as the next great thing HC. The Lions have generated a robust 399.7 ypg which is good for 4th in the league. However the name of the game is points and the Lions are scoring 20.7 ppg. That is good for 16th in the league. They haven't played juggernaut defenses either. They put up 20 against the Cards the Bills scored 34 against. They put up 20 against the Bucs who gave up 37 to the Commaders and 26 to the Broncos. Their highest point output is 26 against the Rams. Their red zone efficiency is 26th at 38% just above Jacksonville and half of what Buffalo is.

That is 2 time coach of the year Kevin Stefanski lol. Agreed though it was such a boneheaded thing to do. Sometimes safe and boring is the right play!
