He's a Leafs fan...

Wow, that's some good football theater. I have to say I'm a little shocked that Beane didn't come through with an offer, but I've seen stranger things happen. Too bad, I loved that guy. And now, sadly, he is the enemy.

SLAYERRRRRR!!!!

I understand that you have to give the MVP to one guy, but that makes it really hard to give it to a D-lineman when it was a group effort. But Jalen Hurts was NOT the best player on the field yesterday.

Buffalo could try to run the same scheme, but it starts to look really bead when nobody's getting home. I just don't think the Bills' D-line is nearly as nasty as the Eagles'. That's the difference I see more than anything.

And the Bills are 0-0 after losing to the Chiefs.

As much as I would enjoy watching the Chiefs lose four straight Superbowls, I'd much rather see Buffalo win one in the next three years.

I came here hoping to learn the Trump-supporter point of view on why this is a good idea. I am an objective thinker willing to listen, but I have neither seen nor heard anyone attempt to explain the benefits yet. It seems to go against Trump's campaign platform, so I would really appreciate some clarification. Thanks.

I don't know why they don't just add one more wild card slot and get rid of bye weeks entirely. That would mean more games in round one, which one would think would make the NFL happy. I think byes are just too advantageous in football.

When did Dalton Kincaid hurt his knee? When he blew the game.

Wow, you didn't even hit most of my top 5.

Exactly. When that drive opened and Ty Johnson was alone in the backfield, I was screaming at the TV. When he got the handoff, I threw the remote. WHY in God's name, if you are handing the ball to a running back, would you choose Ty Johnson instead of James Cook in that situation??? Coaching malpractice.

As many years as Allen wants to play here.

I get the idea of moving on from McDermott, but I don't know who the unicorn coach is that would be worth making this very disruptive change for. Is there anyone available who's a bona fide slam dunk?

13 carries for James Cook would be my #1. He should have had more like 31.

His legacy not only includes no Super Bowls so far, it also includes being owned by Patrick Mahomes. That's the part that really, really sucks.

You can fire McDermott, but you still have to beat Reid, Mahomes, and the refs with the Bills defensive personnel. Please tell me another head coach who has this magic power.

For a guy who tore his ACL at 33, I think he was a pretty solid player this year. You just can't compare him to his prime years. I think that next year, he would likely still be better than a lot of rotational guys, but it would have to be cheap - because he is a rotational guy, not a superstar.

DL, CB, Safety, and WR1 are the biggest needs. Thankful that the O line is all set. Defense needs a major facelift.

I actually think the D overall played better in the 2nd half, not that Elam had anything to do with it. But it's not like the whole unit fell apart when Benford left.

Lots of reasons for a loss last night. It was kind of a miracle it was so close on the scoreboard: - Bad play calling right out of the gate, lasting all game long (where was Cook on that last drive??? Passing game???) - Refs with about a half a dozen impactful bad calls - The non-catch by Worthy, the Offside on Oliver, at least two bad spots... - Secondary getting smoked in the middle of the field - No pressure on Mahomes from the edges - Allen looking indecisive and not seeing the field on pass plays - Kincaid's drop was not even a top-5 cause for this loss Overall, I feel like the Bills steered away from a lot of what made them successful during the regular season. They got scared, went ultra-conservative, and didn't have the horses to keep up. They had the turnovers to win vs. Baltimore, but needed one more in KC and didn't get it. The Bills need a little more Josh Allen magic to win. I think they tried to hard to keep him under control.

I think Micah Hyde off the couch would surprise a lot of people. His injury is risky, but it has a minimal impact on his athletic ability. And he is experienced enough that he can play instinctively without much warmup. It's like riding a bike for him, and he has been resting for a whole year. If he has truly been maintaining his fitness at a high level, I think he could also play at a high level. Better than Kareem Jackson, I think.

Now we just need Butker to kick a 47-yarder wide right on Sunday.

Von may not have his best fastball anymore, but he's still a blue chip player in my book. Even at 35, he has more physical ability than 75% of his peers, is one of the smartest guys in the league, and brings a first-ballot resume worth of experience to every snap he plays. Milano was a 'Definite' at his peak - hopefully he can get back there on Sunday. Brown is much better than 'Maybe'. If we're strictly talking about skill and ability to play the game, and not about stats; then I feel that most of the guys on the OP's list qualify. There is a ton of talent and football IQ on the Bills roster right now. Also a lot of 'complete' players - WRs who block well, RBs who can catch, OL who can pull, etc.

I'm hoping Joe B doesn't want any of the available HC jobs - which is not an unreasonable outcome, given the state of the teams with jobs up for grabs.
