IMO we have had pretty solid defensive play all through the drought so as much as I am glad to see high defensive rankings, there's no real net improvement since the pre-McDermott/Beane era. We all know that it is at QB and on offense where a breakthrough is needed. We need to hit a homerun on our offensive coaches for the McDermott era to work. It looks like we have our QB. Now we need to surround him with weapons and a scheme to maximize his talents and our homefield advantage. I expect us to be at or over .500 next year but it may not be till year 4 where we really whether their methodology is working.

there's no question that McDermott is creating a culture of accountability in his coaching staff. He is not playing favourites with anyone including those he has worked with a long time on other teams. I'm as tired of the losing as anyone but I continue to believe that he was the right hire and that we have just begun to build a great organizational culture.

Shaw, I wish you and your loved ones the very best of the holiday season and 2019. Your contributions to the Bills community are a big part of what keep me coming back. I just spent the Xmas holidays in Seahawk country on the Canadian side. I was born in Vancouver and was a Seahawks/Raiders fan before moving to Ontario at age 19 and discovering the Bills. Before that the Bills were just another team on TV I would never identify with. The beautiful experience of gameday at the Ralph (yes I will always call it that despite the ever changing corporate sponsorships) is like nothing else I have experienced anywhere else. We are a great community because of posters like you. As for me, I will keep my season ticket account up as long as I can. I just came back from helping my Mom recoup from heart surgery on Vancouver Island. I may move back west so as to fulfill my family obligation. I can tell that when the Bills show up i Seattle, I will be sporting their gear. Wishing 2019's glad tidings to you and your loved ones.

I became a season ticket holder the year before Kyle was drafted. It's been almost an interrupted stream of steady losing since then and yet with each of Kyle's Pro Bowl invites and on field achievements, he gave me confidence to renew my tickets. No one legitimized our team the way he did. Imagine what determination he must have had to perform at that level in a sea of mediocrity. Mario Williams and TO came here for the paycheck and quickly checked out but Kyle publicly expressed his preference for being a Bill when it was anything but fashionable and it may even have cost him some money and opportunity. The fact that he performed at a Pro Bowl level for the duration of his time here without being an athlete of the Khalil Mack/Jadeveon Clowney/Ndamokong Suh variety just begins to hint as to his depth of character. At the risk of sounding disloyal, I will confess to secretly wishing he left for a contender to get his due as a name on the Lombardi. We've been very blessed to have such a professional in our midst who deeply loved our team and community. My Bills attire will soon include his jersey.

Thank you Mr Scrooge. I believe the Ghost of Christmas past and the Grim Reaper are trying to get through to you

the coaches fired in their 2nd year were not kept on for continuity. They were kept on because they WERE IN THE FIRST YEAR of a multi year contract.

Yes Luck gets taken out for Hail Mary plays

His days as an every down back are over

I hear OBD has dial up internet

Not what I would call a beauty pageant

He's done very well with very little

Greg Gumbel is the cure for insomnia

No pass rusher worth his salt will be available as late as round 5

A day late and a dollar short. If a back up like him had been in camp all along we might still be talking about this year

So does the Pack faithful blame McCarthy for this year's record?

Only thing as good as a Bills win is a Pats loss

Someone needs to spot BB a snotrag

White guys shouldn't be that open

Could be 4th and job for Tomlin

I'll toss a vote for Cincy

David Carr is a megabust only eclipsed by Ryan Leaf and Jamarcus Russell

Dallage scored 75 yard run TD for Fins

Vikes running with ease vs the Fins

We need to draft an RB

The Falcons collapse is the most perplexing
