I don't either but I can't completely dismiss the possibility.

He also just saw Joe Burrow miss the playoffs, a more talented Ravens team barely get the third seed because of a Steelers collapse, and a QB legend in his own division he grew up idolizing win just five games because he played for a clown of an organization. The point is that he's having the same debate that we are and I have any clue which side he falls on.

He was doing snow angels with him. He just won the MVP with him as his head coach with Beane and McDermott making the trip down to New Orleans to be there for it. Like I said, it's a variable nobody's really discussed on here when it comes to firing McDermott because we don't know Josh's opinion of him. From what he's said over the last few years as they keep "punching that lottery ticket" then he'll have a chance at winning the Super Bowl every year.

What you said makes perfect sense but the x factor in this is how would Josh react? If he loves Beane and McDermott would he make a power play to Pegula and say fire them and I'll request a trade. I don't know how close Allen is to them so I'm obviously speculating.

Great. Explain the trade for Cooper then.

Yet they felt the need to give up a 3rd round pick for a rental player hoping to give Allen a #1 outside WR. The "everybody eats" mantra started because Beane is a hell of a salesman.

We'll never really know why. The Super Bowl odds still have the Bills at +750 though despite the firing.

Go back and find the people begging to trade up for Brian Thomas Jr. once he fell past 16. I kept waiting for a trade to pop up on ESPN's bottom line. Oh well, I guess if Coleman works out it will be a pleasant surprise.

Stafford and Palmer come to mind if we're talking a little more than half way through their career. Stafford was sick of the Lions always rebuilding and Palmer is experiencing exactly what Burrow is fighting right now. It's one of the reasons I'm more hesitant than most on here to fire Beane or McDermott. You could have a GM or head coach that takes the culture they created for granted. It seems like both are in constant dialogue with Allen and why I thought the Bills absolutely had to do the Diggs trade even if it meant eating the cap they had to eat this year without a plan B.

Henry, Jacobs, Barkley, and Taylor are a tier above Cook. Teams aren't going to sell out to try and stop Cook like they do for those backs. Mixon is pry a better comp as he has similar numbers are similar. He's at $8.5m a year. If Beane was to do an extension the maximum I'm hoping he'll spend is $10.5m per year for four years (including next year).

Some of Bruce's best years were from that 29 to 33 age range and he had way more of an injury history compared to Garrett. Elite DE's seem to decline once they hit around 34 years old. Barring injury (I know that's a big if), there's nothing to suggest he doesn't have four elite years left in him.

I hate everything about that process.

I guess Baltimore's head of the mailroom is a real POS.

As we get further removed I think the loss of Frazier had a negative net impact on the defense when many thought it would be a positive net impact. Credit McDermott or whoever made the decision to pry Daboll from Alabama. He messed up with the Dorsey hire but made the tough but necessary in season move to promote Brady. This kind of turnover isn't unusual over an eight year period with one head coach.

I think I died alone being on the Allen should've checked it down to Diggs hill against KC the year before instead of a low percentage shot to Shakir in the end zone. I'm on to Cincinnati.

I'd pay him 30 dollars and even bump it up to 31 dollars with incentives.

They pry should've ran the ball on that one play (or the next). Plenty of time left at over 3:30. All three time outs. Only down a FG. Want to run some clock so we leave Mahomes with as little time as possible at the end of regulation. Ok. That's my final spiel about that game and I'm on to Cincinnati.

I'm usually wrong but I said the day after the Jets game where his agent said he would play despite the toe injury (he didn't) that Cook will be the first holdout (or "hold in") in training camp since Beane became GM.

Epenesa signed for just $6m per year for two years. That ranks him tied for 74th among DE's (a premium positions). Cook wanting $15m a year would rank him 2nd among RB's. Just can't pay that kind of money to a RB in today's NFL unless he's the next Barry Sanders or something.

I don't think there's been anybody ever more qualified for the position.

The only question of the interview was to ask him to count to 11.

Just tell the guys we have to play better.

Let's just have both.

Our secondary was more of a problem this year imo. Need to upgrade both but I'd emphasize the secondary.
