    A BEARS QB that hasn't played a down in the League yet makes list.

     

    😆

     

    The Bears haven't had a franchise QB since 1949. Is this list before OR after Chicago wrecks him?  I am assuming before!😏 

     

    Jim McMahon was outstanding when he was on the field, but it wasn't too often.

    No one is saying Williams is a top 10 QB right now, for 2024.  The idea is that he'd be a top 10 pick if you are picking someone for the future of your franchise.  Totally different evaluation.


    I guess I can buy that.

     

    But if it turns out that he sucks…

     

    YOU’RE FIRED. 🤣😂

    Nothing to show for it?

     

    In the last 7 years (under McDermott):

    78-47 record (that's a lot of wins that we've got to enjoy)

    4 AFC East titles

    6 playoff appearances in 7 years

    5 playoff wins

     

    Over the last 5 years:

    We have won more games than anyone except for the Chiefs

    We have given up the fewest amount of points in the NFL

    We've scored the 4th most points in that span

     

    I know, you are probably saying, "that's exactly my point, look at those stats...and no Super Bowl?" But, I guarantee you, if McDermott were fired tomorrow and he brought his resume to other teams, not one of them would say his resume had nothing to show. They understand how tough it is to win it all.

     

    I've said this before---some of you guys think a Super Bowl should be automatic with an elite QB. It's not.

    -Drew Brees (future HOF, top 5 all-time QB): 1 Super Bowl appearance (win) in 20 years (with Sean Payton as his coach for most of his career)

    -Peyton Manning (HOF, top 3 all-time QB): 2 Super Bowl appearances (1 win) in his first 13 years with Indy (HOF Tony Dungy coaching a good chunk)

    -Dan Marino (HOF, top 10 all-time QB): 1 Super Bowl appearance (loss) in 17 years (with HOF Don Shula as his coach)

    -Aaron Rodgers (future HOF, top 10 All-time QB): 1 Super Bowl appearance (win) in 19 seasons 

    -Brett Favre (HOF, top 10-12 All-Time QB): 2 Super Bowl appearances (1 win) in 20 years (Mike Holmgren coaching for much of his career)

     

    So, that is a total of 89 seasons from these top-10 All-Time QBs (who all had excellent to HOF coaching for most of their careers) and only 4 Super Bowl wins between them (7 Super Bowl appearances). So, that means there were 82 seasons (82 of 89) where these HOF QBs didn't make the Super Bowl (that's 92% of their careers that they didn't even make a Super Bowl appearance). Even if we add Peyton's time (and SBs) in Denver, it is 84 of 93 seasons not making a Super Bowl (or 90% of the time). Just because we have Josh doesn't make it automatic. Part of the problem for Peyton and Dan Marino, of course, were Brady/Pats and Kelly/Bills, respectively. Similar to Josh with Mahomes/Chiefs. Plus there is luck, injuries, salary caps, etc. to weigh in each season. 

     

     

    And have you forgotten:

    -New Year's Eve 2017/2018? The Bills breaking the drought made that one of the best New Year's Eves of my life.

    -The perfect playoff game against our most hated team, the Pats...watching Hoodie throw his telephone

    -Despite the loss, probably one of the greatest playoff games ever played (against the Chiefs 2021/2022)

    -Owning the Dolphins in the regular season and playoffs

    -Josh being developed by the Bills into a generational QB, despite the majority of the NFL, media, and fans saying he'd be a bust

    -Josh's hurdles, Diggs being a top-3 receiver

    -Kyle Williams' last game, scoring a TD

    -Two no-name safeties turning into the best tandem in the league

    -The Thanksgiving Day wins

    -The whole Damar Hamlin situation and how the coaches and players handled that

    Etc., Etc., Etc.

     

    Did you really not enjoy or feel a part of any of that? What is the Buddhist saying, "It's about the journey, not the destination." Look, we all want the Bills to win a Super Bowl, but we should also be grateful for what we do have. I have had a blast watching the Bills over the last seven years, and I feel bad if not winning a SB has allowed some of you to have not enjoyed this time or to discount how much fun it has been. Which is too bad, because eras like this do not come around often. 

     

     


    Who says I haven’t enjoyed the ride?

     

    But we are all in it to win it. That’s the name of the game.

     

    For all of he accomplishments of the Bills since 2017, all they have to show for it is one AFCCG (which they got destroyed in) appearance, is disappointing. FACT.

    Taking off the rose colored glasses I’m seeing Safety as a major concern.

     

    Hamlin's bad and shouldn't be anywhere near being a starter, but that's where the Bills are at right now.

     

    Safety is OFFICIALLY a MAJOR concern. 

     

    But if anyone can work around it, it's McDermott.

  5. The Demonrats and their supporters sure are all in line like trained seals when it comes to putting a narrative out there.

     

    Oh the hypocrisy with this “weird” angel.

     

    For starters, do you dimwits just TOTALLY ignore the FACT that there are weird freaks in the Bi-dumb administration like Richard Levine?

     

    Yeah, calling their political opponents, all of a sudden on a whim in unison, weird? That’s rich.

    There’s probably some correlation between the two, honestly. McDermott’s preferred defense is to bend but don’t break, so unless the opponent can consistently stop Allen while at the same time scoring tons of points (how many teams can do both?), games we lose have a propensity to be close ones. 
     

    But McD’s defense also falters in the playoffs when teams are putting it all on the line and being more aggressive. It’s hard to expect McD to start being a different coach come playoff time, he’s going to stick with his process of what he knows. 


    Well, if his defense doesn’t find a way to do its job this time around in the postseason, McDermott knows he’ll be VERY close to losing his job.

    Amen 🙏 

    Pure speculation 

    He was benched in Pittsburgh for a guy so bad they got rid of him too

    Right or wrong QB2 is just a calculated risk you have to take. 

    If Allen misses even two games the season is lost. Hell the season was almost lost when he was playing with a sore shoulder.

     

    Let's hope then that Trubisky is even competent enough to STEAL one game. 😁

    Why is Donald afraid to debate her? Any time, any place, right? Such a kitty.

     

    Brave Sir Donald ran away...


    She hasn’t officially gotten the nomination and she hasn’t picked her running mate yet.

     

    Trump said until everything is OFFICIAL, then it’s on.

     

    But, OF COURSE, like the trained seal you are, you think Trump DOESN’T want to debate her.

     

    My God, you people will believe ANYTHING.
