After hearing Von and the management speak after the season...I think they approach him with the option of a pay cut. Not a restructure. A straight up pay cut. If he takes it he will likely be back, if not then they release him.

He is no Paul Heyman... Not sure, but apparently the Ravens have their P. Diddy kicker.

And to me this is the big thing that separates the Bills and Chiefs. Kansas City has experienced coaches that have been doing it a long time. Both their OC and DC are former HCs in the NFL. So, while they have basically a HC, a HC on offense and a HC on defense....the Bills promote inexperienced guys from within. Spags knew that in today's NFL and especially games like this it comes down to one play at the end of a game. He spent the entire game showing this look and setting the Bills up to fall for it at a key time. At no point in any game did I get the sense that Babich had the foresight to call a game like this. To set up a team for the end of the game. Babich was decent enough for a first time coordinator...and first time coordinators are great for teams like Indy or Arizona. But when you are a Super Bowl contender...that extra experience helps overcome.

A very Marshawn Lynch type answer 😂😂

Why? He didn't from the plays the year before. This years low light real contains the NFL's first kickoff return for a TD under the new rules and TWO converted fake punts against us in addition to another smattering of big plays allowed. Maybe, IDK...get someone that's already learned those lessons and knows what they are doing.

So, literally the same exact excuse he used last year. Unreal.

I'm about to start at the beginning of McDermott's presser. Hoping to hear someone ask him if Smiley will be back and hear that answer.

Yes, and spoke to the offensive trades he made. Douglas made a nice impact last year. Was fairly mediocre this year.

See the difference there is they don't need to go that route because they actually have the ability to identify and draft impact players...and aren't afraid to make a big jump up the board to acquire them.

In his time here he's brought in ONE big time free agent in Von...and paid a ridiculous overpay to do it. Trading for Cooper is actually on point. He seems to make a trade near the draft almost every year. More times than not it's been a move for an offensive player that doesn't work out well. And the last two (Cooper and Hines) offensive players we traded for were very underused. Again on point.

I am so tired of the "run it back, focus on re-signing our own at the cost of getting quality FAs, promote from within" mentality of this franchise. We tried that. It didn't work. Maybe time to try something else. These guys are so afraid of any kind of change.

What I think happens is this. Babich obviously returns with the Bills hoping his year will serve as experience to help him get better. Growth mindset. I think not much changes to open the year. McDermott has stated several times he does not want to take over play calling again as it diverts his attention from other things during the game and the week in prep. But if Babich struggles over the first month, month and a half next year I think Sean would take it back over if/when he felt it was for the good of the team and Babich would then ride out the season and be replaced with a more experienced defensive boss with play calling experience.

Here here! And in a related thought, Jeff Hostleter, Trent Dilfer, Nick Foles...all better QBs than Dan Marino and Warren Moon.

Yes he should and he should be designated as a post June 1st cut which I believe actually opens up $17 mil.
