Excellent work, sir.

Those large Chinese buffets. I'm convinced every case of flu and stomach flu in the United States begins in these restaurants. ? Kids fingers in the food. Adults fingers in the food. "Sampling" with their utensils. Never again.

I remember when Matt Barkley was a can't miss #1 overall pick.

Talent executes a plan. IMO, the planning and game strategy is the bigger problem for the Bills. Ultimately that falls on McDermott but on a practical week to week level, he's relying on his coordinator and coaches to frame out a plan, plays, etc. I'll save the Bills a lot of money and fire the entire offensive coaching staff and start anew with a coordinator with a proven track record of success in the NFL. No more mediocrity. No more college guys. I'd rather one bad season with Daboll versus three of them just so we can have "consistency." There's no reason to think any of it will improve. Daboll is Todd Haley without the attitude problems. Castillo and the rest of the unit coaches have clearly not gotten it done. I don't know why we'd entertain another season of more of the same.

They will make a 30-30 about Nate Peterman's career in a few years. As a fan, I'm troubled they want him to play against the Bears. If McDermott hasn't lost a locker room yet over this guy, another Nateplosion should do it.

More along the lines of tanks and soliders, with buses to drive them to the airport for a shower, some food and a free flight back home. (That we (US) will secretly pay for.) It's just the real politik of the situation, regardless of internal US political motives.

If push comes to shove, I see the President sealing the border and the National Guard being the muscle to keep everyone in Mexico. I think the threat alone will force Mexico to do something. The last thing they (and the cartels that have infiltrated that government) want is a militarized, closed US/MEX border.

He plays angry. I'll take it over "high motor."

Won't be surprised to see KB dealt and another QB acquired. I think KB signed his departure papers with that block last night. Moderately surprised to see Pryor signed. Shocked to see the Daboll or Castillo lose their jobs. (Both deserve it.)

Remember how the defense looked terrible against the Ravens and for about a half against the Chargers and then "something" happened? It was a change in coaching and strategy. Same players that are a lights out squad now.

You can't play candy crush and expect to be successful in your nationwide terrorism campaign. It's amazing (sarcasm) that the police can find people using data from their cell phones.

All we need is non-stop train horn. Why save it for just third downs? The Bills might be run over by a train but the fans will feel like they are on one!

I'd offer the Carolina Panthers under Ron Rivera. Two time COY. I think Rivera has been one of the top coaches in the game. He's shown to be able to adapt and deviate from "the" plan. His players always play hard. You don't see or hear about a lot of player or coach dissention. Outside injuries, the team is always competitive. I think he's been a great mentor for Cam Newton. I think Newton under a different coach would have been a hot mess as a player coming out of school.

Presentation is 90% of the sale. Whoever dresses Howie Long knows what they are doing. He looks sharp. Color combinations are spot on. I wish that NFL coaches would be held to a higher dress code. The visors, the Marrone look, the BB just woke up from a nap look - all should go.

I don't think it's anymore than the organization making a decison to build a great Las Vegas team at the expense of their remaining time in Oakland. They want high draft picks in their prime, along with cap space to generate the "buzz" in their new market. They want the seats filled. Not sure that gets done by transplanting the "ok" Raiders team there. They are essentially taking the Rams template and executing it for themselves. I understand the business rationale for the moves. What I loathe is the wholesale selling out of Oakland Raider fans yet again by the Davis family and the NFL.

It's sad that most of the guys mentioned are dead. Macho Man just edges out Brutus Beefcake for me. I thought Macho Man was always a fun interview. Best Tag Team: Demolition. They were champs for a long time.

It's ok. The Bills are still important but to me but I don't spend the nice fall Sundays watching games or plan my life around seeing the games. I probably enjoy this site more than the actual Bills game over the years - reading the vast array of different opinions, participating in discussion.

Isn't "big nickel" his scheme? FWIW, the BN was a Fritz Shurmur invention. He passed it to Jim Johnson who didn't use it as much, but McDermott used it a lot in Carolina. "This likely means the Bills attempted to play more “big nickel” defense this week."

He's either too beholden to "his" scheme or he's trying to outthink the room. Both are not good looks.

Eh. They are B-C+ range. All good things you pointed out. However, for going on ad nauseum about "process" and "football guys", they lead a football team hasn't been competitive in over 50% of their games this year with wildly inconsistent effort, focus and plan.

The Raiders organization is burning Raider Nation down to the ground. They are foresaking their loyal Oakland fanbase for their new fanbase in Las Vegas. It's sad to watch.

It's a phenomena of the free agency era. Prior to free agency, coaches had to play the games with the players they had until they could draft better ones. More often than not, owners had to fit a coach to the players you had unless the team was nightmarishly terrible or you were ready for a dramatic change. It's why Bill Walsh was succeeded by WCO coaches, Ditka was succeeded by defense in Chicago etc.

The helicopters have been seen throughout the series, starting back in the very first episode. It's a shame that he just casually threw that sweet HK MP5SD5 away.. Definetly picked that up off around a Navy base near Alexandria.

My guess is A's are leaders, B's are workers. I think that's why she captured Rick and Negan. (Both A's)

My biggest gripe about McDermott's two teams is the inconsistent motivation/desire/concentration by both his coaches and players. They come out flat a lot, especially on the road. The Packers and Colts games looked like a bunch of guys just out there collecting paychecks.
