McDermott didn't have the same defense in the last 2 playoff games against the Chiefs. Coaching can only go so far when the defense is limited by injuries (2023) and a lack of talent (2024), but continue pushing your agenda against him since you seem to need a convenient whipping boy. McDermott is going nowhere in the foreseeable future.

Exactly. The original tweet made a mountain of a mole hill. Since I live in the Bills' "territory", I get to see every Bills game via OTA stations without an antenna because I have cable. ESPN is included in my cable tier. My cable system (Spectrum) also offers NFL Red Zone on a sports tier which provides TD plays from every game live or within minutes for a monthly fee. I start it before the first week of the regular season and end the subscription when NFL Red Zone finishes for the season ... 5 months max. Several other services have monthly plans, including Netflix. Depending on the schedule, you might only need to subscribe for 2 or 3 months. I subscribe yearly to Peacock because it's so cheap, and I get to watch the Tour de France live. I use Amazon Prime's free shipping (and free returns) so often that my savings on shipping pay for the subscription. Of course, someone intent on watching every NFL game live (I personally don't believe that's actually possible for a person to do) probably doesn't have many other interests. Besides, it's physically impossible for a person to watch every minute of every single NFL game live even if the technology is there to do so. Even with split screens or multiple tvs, you can't divide your attention equally every minute to all the games, so you're going to miss something. NFL Red Zone (available from my cable company on s sports tier for about $10/month for 3 or 4 months max) works well, plus NFLN has replays of many games.

I saw one of my ruby throat hummingbirds today. She was flitting around the solomon's seal near the front deck. Usually, the hummers don't show up until the hostas start blooming ... or maybe I just don't notice them because the solomon's seal in the backyard is pretty far from the house. I've also had purple finches and goldfinches show up at my feeders this week as well as a beautiful female hairy woodpecker (hairy woodpeckers look like downey woodpeckers, only much bigger and with a different shaped beak). I think that this might be the same woodpecker that hung around my feeders most of the late summer and into the fall last year since hairies aren't nearly as common as downeys. She was probably a young bird last summer, and figured my neighborhood was a good place to raise a family.

RIP, Loretta.

Oops!!! I knew it was one of those Ohio teams!

The draft is a crap shoot. First and second rounders bust all the time. How many TSW sages were convinced that Beane drafted the "Wrong Josh"? I missed out on being in that group only because I wanted a) Baker Mayfield or b) Lamar Jackson. Nobody really knows how these kids are going to turn out. BTW, Cody Ford is still playing in the NFL. The Browns recently re-signed him for 2025 IIRC.

Nobody has started a thread defending Beane or Coleman and has refused to let this thread fade away.

How long are some TBD posters going to keep beating the same dead horse? The Bills didn't draft McConkey or trade up to get Thomas. Deal with it. All your continual whining changes nothing.

Well, I got your fandom beat by considerably more than 20 years, but you sound the cranky senior with a sour view of all humanity younger than you and your cronies. You have no idea what Brady or Mahomes' work ethics were/are compared to Allen's. You just want to diss Allen because the Bills didn't make the Super Bowl, you're still po'd and you need another scapegoat because Kincaid and Coleman have already been burnt to a crisp.

Allen was in Buffalo for OTAs just days before his wedding. He's not at the OTAs this past week because he's on his honeymoon. This is probably the first set of OTAs Allen has missed in his career. Give it a break.

I don't know about Kincaid being the TBD Whipping Boy of the season ... it seems to me that Keon Coleman might have the edge here. Oh, please! The TBD mob had their pitchforks out for Kincaid even before the season started, starting with all the complaints that the Bills should have drafted Sam LaPorta.

"Captain Checkdown" never learned to read defenses ... which is why he earned that nickname. He was the perfect QB for Dick Jauron (who believed in playing not to lose games by too much) because Edwards was good with throwing a 4 yard pass on third and 5 and then punting. Jauron disliked Losman because he (Losman) tried too hard to make plays and win -- IOW, he took risks, which Jauron hated.

The issue was that the Bills defense wasn't good enough to stop KC from scoring more points than they had scored in any game in 2025. No team has beaten KC in the playoffs without the defense getting after Mahomes and limiting Kelce.

I thought the biggest problem for the Bills last year was WR. /sarcasm off I can't blame the guy for his poor prediction about Allen since I was skeptical about Allen, too. Many were. As a rookie, Allen's most notable traits were his leadership and his willingness to do whatever he needed to do to win. To call Allen's improvement from his rookie season to today "impressive" is a huge understatement. It has been awe-inspiring. I remember a time within the last two decades when Rapp would have been the best player on the team. You don't know that; the team hasn't even had any mandatory workouts yet.

While what you say is true about fans, this list is supposed to be based on how players perform on the field, and the guy who put it together is supposed to be a professional. Tyreek Hill has a less than endearing personality but that doesn't diminish his play on the field.
