Brady appreciated the physical aspect as well:

Agreed as well. When we drafted Cook in the 2nd, it felt like a gimmick pick based his speed. I didn't think he'd have the size, durability, and overall skill set to be a feature back. But I'll gladly eat my crow on Cook. He's an excellent back and he's developed very nicely. He has speed but he doesn't rely on it to his detriment.

I thought this approach made sense early on in McDermott's tenure. Build a foundation of Chris Kelsay's (lol) and establish a team-oriented environment for your eventual young franchise QB to grow in. I also thought the second half of that approach would be to start taking some shots on high ceiling athletic specimens once the the foundation was built. The McDuffie/Elam debacle seemed to fit that bill in 2022, but when that didn't pan out I think McDermott fell back to prioritizing football character. That's not to say that the GM and HC being on the same page isn't essential, and that's the situation the Bills are in. But to my eyes, Beane is doing his job on the draft capital front, whereas the spending of that draft capital is hampered by McDermott's vision. Random aside, but in my Madden franchises I always try to draft for potential over day-1 starter material. I'll gladly draft a strong 6'3" WR with 4.4 speed and below average Awareness and Catching, because I can coach those latter attributes up over time. You simply can't manifest raw athletic ability out of thin air in a 5'10" WR with 4.6 speed, no matter how good his head and hands are. At the end of the day, the bigger, stronger, and faster teams usually overmatch the rest.

I'll give it a year until he's replaced in some fashion.

I had a dream of a girl wearing a Bills thong last night. Gotta mean something.

Holy 2nd half adjustments batman. The Bills were doing so well against the run then suddenly collapsed.

I genuinely expected that flag to be OPI on Coleman lol.

Was wondering that too.

Two bad plays back to back at the end there, but the phantom holding penalty before them was bs.

Lol. At the end of the broadcast, they advertised who provided Troy Aikman's wardrobe.

Can't even get the 35-yard field goal. Man the Texans got dumpstered on today.

STROUD TRIED TO CALL A TIMEOUT AT THE 2-MINUTE WARNING LMAOOOOOOO

That was a terrible call.

Well that optimism burned out quickly.

I paid for my house betting against the Bills.
