Doc Brown

I've said this before but at this point it would have to be an established extremely successful offensive head coach who's won or been to a Super Bowl recently. I can't think of any that were available. You could make the case for Sean Payton but he hasn't won one since 2009. If you're Pegula you'd look like an idiot if you fire a proven winner who hasn't quite broken through in the playoffs yet, hire the best next young offensive coordinator like Ben Johnson, and then realize he's not meant to be a head coach (Josh McDaniels, Nate Hackett, Adam Gase, Marty Mornhinweng, Mike McCoy, Cam Cameron, Norv Turner, etc..). Plus, it's not really fair to hire a first time head coach and have the fan base saying Super Bowl or bust their first year. Then there's always the fear that McDermott will turn around a franchise somewhere else and win a Super Bowl making you look like even more of an idiot. Don't think these thoughts aren't going through Pegula's head as he is human after all.

That's minimizing the legitimate other side of the argument of whether McDermott is good enough in the playoffs to get this team over the top which isn't a crazy one. Whether you agree with it or not (I don't). Oh. Yeah. Take that bullcrap to PPP.

What? I think my post was in line with the thread topic.

It's a cool stat but I really just consider this upcoming season Allen's 4th year of being an elite QB. Even if the Bills win it this season and people are bragging about how this stat was meaningless I'd push back and say it is meaningful because Allen was an incredibly unique QB in terms of rawness going into the NFL.

I’m glad you don’t let bad memories from 30 years ago cloud your judgement. I experienced all that too but our perception of Levy greatly changes if Norwood makes that kick.

I laughed when I heard the news for all the people telling me Terry has McDermott on a short leash since the season ended. The guy grew up a Steelers fan. He sees first hand the way patience and stability in an organization eventually produces results.

Straight up trade for Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, or Drake London. Madden trade simulator said in your dreams. It's never going to happen. You'd be throwing any Super Bowl chance out the window. Josh Allen would look like Aaron Rodgers of 2022 at best.

Yet they cut him and are now eating 12 million in dead cap over the next two seasons. Elliott was arguably one of the worst starting running back in the league last season who received significant carries. Last in ypc (3.8) and percentage of runs that went past 10 yards (7.4%). His strengths are at short yardage and pass protection. Both of which the Pats could use. Zeke may see himself as wanting a bigger role though and/or a bigger contract.

He doesn't seem to happy about it either. I think it would look fine on anything but their grey jerseys.

I did too. To the other team though.

Except for 4th down with the game on the line in the divisional game against the Giants. I don't think Diggs is to the diva level of an Antonio Brown or a Terrell Owens. However, Diggs handled this like an immature child. It would've been nice if he showed up at voluntary OTA's and aired out his grievances in house. Enough with the stupid cryptic tweets. There's plenty of players on this team that want to win who don't air their grievances out so publicly like he did. You're an elite WR, are being paid as one, and a team captain. Start acting like it.

No. Unless you're talking a 3-14 season with Allen as the starter. I think the Pegula's have been enamored with McDermott since their first interview back in 2017. Two or three more years of being out-coached in the post season elimination game though and they'd pry consider it.

Baker Mayfield

At least he provides some.

May be a little early but there's a 60% chance of rain with gusts of wind up to 50mph possible.

Three straight years of his defense getting beaten up by elite QB's to end the season. McDermott isn't going to lose his job without first doing what got him the job in the first place. Plus, I think he missed it.

As long as Mexico pays for it. Could Trump pardon himself if elected?

Interesting. I don't remember him saying that. I take back everything he said if he did.

Agreed. I think DeSantis vs. Newsom would be best for the country and are pry the two most formidable candidates on their respective sides of the aisle. It'll be Trump vs. Biden in all likelihood though. Sadly. Trump to me watching these interviews has finally reached fat Elvis stage and Biden's best defense is that he's always been in cognitive decline. The strongest move that Trump could make is naming DeSantis as his VP for the ticket. I'm not sure his ego will allow that though and he'll pry pick a bland loyalist that won't steal the spotlight from him (like Pence in 2016).

It shows they really wanted him. It doesn't show other teams did. They made an educated guess which is often the case at the start of free agency for any team.

He did but there's no evidence he outbid other teams like you said he did.

Yes. The national talk all off-season was which WR needy NFL team was going to win the race to sign Deonte Harty.

He's saying whatever coach we hire if McDermott was fired would immediately be expected to win the Super Bowl. How attractive would that job be compared to a team down in the gutter in need of a full rebuild with lots of draft capital (like the Texans this year)?

Got ya. The Bengals offense wasn't quite as potent as the Chiefs in 2021 but it's a fair question.

Do you really think this defense with a fully healthy T. White, Hyde, D. Jones, Poyer, and Von Miller give up that many points to the Bengals?
