One very easy decision is not to suggest cutting an integral part of the defense who is under contract and in his prime.

Sure, let’s cut one of the best players at his position — and one who fits this particular defense perfectly. That makes sense.

Sounds like Timmah being Timmah. He's probably tight with Ty Dunne too.

First of all, you're nuts to believe anything coming out of Li'l Dirty's mouth. Second, what if it wasn't McD's play calls and the players simply didn't execute? Would we "have so much respect for him" if he blamed Levi Wallace for blowing the coverage or blamed the ST coach for not communicating the call correctly on the kickoff? He has taken as much accountability for that game as anyone ever should. People still act as though it was a miracle even though we've seen teams get into position to kick a long FG like that before and since. Leslie Frazier's defense folded like a lawn chair in crunch time. McD is rightfully proud of what they've accomplished over seven years, but is obviously not satisfied. I really don't know what the hell anyone wants him to say.

I’m not here to shame fans but I fail to understand why this thread was started in the first place. By almost any measure Groot has been a “successful” draft pick. If you are only looking at sacks then I question how much you really understand D line play. Carry on. I really hate the offseason.

So sorry to hear this. 37 is ridiculously young. Sincere condolences.

What color is the sky in your world?

Call me crazy but if he'll take a big pay cut I'd sign him to back up Josh.

I just spent a good 30-45 seconds trying to figure out who the hell "Hardy" is...

Terrible the first half of the season, very good the 2nd...and then even though KC had their way with our MASH unit the D made a stop in the 4th to give us a chance.

FIFY — if even just Bernard plays in that KC game the Bills might be holding the Lombardi.

i.e., mental illness

Right, because this organization has been an abject failure for the past seven years, making every wrong decision possible. Time to go into hibernation for a couple of months so I can come back to read the flaming hot takes after the draft. The "pain and utter despair" of four consecutive AFC East championships is overwhelming indeed...

God I hope not. If McD ever coached like Shanahan does in the biggest games this board would completely melt down.

I hope Josh is talking to Tiger about the killer instinct and getting over the hump...

What an amazing schedule. We are a lock for 6-7 primetime games again.

Lipstick on a pig.

Burn, Jests, burn. 🔥

We're talking about "above average" -- not "elite." I certainly never used that word. Is it so difficult to admit Cook is above average?

If it makes you feel any better, the Bills are really the only team that has almost kept them out of it...twice.

I'm not going to even read this thread, but you're talking about a QB who hasn't failed to reach the conference championship game in ANY of his seasons as a starting QB. What exactly are people supposed to say about him?

Let's just say for sake of argument that we divide RB1s into three groups: 1-10 (above average), 11-20 (average), and 21-32 (below average). Do you think there are 10 better RB1s in the NFL than Jimbo Cook? I think the words are self-explanatory. A RB who is better than average. See above, and please name all of the RB1s you believe are better than Cook.

There are extremely few RBs who should be signed to "big" contracts. That's not particularly relevant to the question of whether Cook is an above-average RB1. I think the statistics (and eye test) clearly show that he is.

Ah yes, Jenn Sterger…Brett Musberger remembers her as well…

What an ignorant, head-in-the-sand comment.
