^^^^^This. And glad you mentioned the Mahomes thread...the OP probably blames Beane for that too, even though he wasn’t here for the 2017 draft.

When you have to go take care of business yourself...

Never bet against the Bills when the entire planet lines up to take their smart money shot...or 5K

This is how Super Bowl XXV was supposed to end...?

Is that the same as the FO sucks and MCD is idiot of the year crowd? Just trying to keep my negative Nancy categories straight up in here...

Definitely still room for improvement. Captain Obvious out.

Is it just me or is our D finally developing an in your face personality? Getting after it even after JA threw a pick and holding them to a FG was the ballgame before the ballgame with House $$

And that’s 2 quality wins right there against top notch defenses coming in! Blow up those survivor pools all over again!!!

What final game winning drive for this guy

Wait, so JA doesn’t necessarily have to do it all in order for us to win some this year???

YEESSSSS!!!!!!!!!

Or just down to #3 each week given the real risk that both in front get knocked out of a game along the way

He was one of the names bandied about early in the Peterman implosion to be brought in, and makes perfect sense—love it if true

Would even the “GOAT” hoodie savant’s swings and misses along the way disqualify him in your book then? https://www.thesportster.com/football/questionable-moves-the-patriots-have-made-in-the-brady-belichick-era/ you can’t expect every single move to pan out. Also, these moves aren’t done in a vacuum. Scouting dept, GM takes?

Did anyone happen to grab a screenshot of all the “expert” predictions going into the Minnie game? Worthless waste of time as most of them follow a herd mentality parroting each other’s talking points without doing any original research...and why would they? Too many national themes going on with bigger nfl markets than ours to focus on. Go Bills!!! 24–13 Buffalo.

I know you’ve got one heck of a hangover to suffer through this morning—my condolences ?! That said, I won’t argue over the low bar that is “drought GM’s” and their rankings—I will commit that he was better than his immediate predecessor Nix

^^^^This. Only forgot to mention in your ? list of worn out LB’s credited to Nix, the name of Shawne Merriman, who was about as broke down and worn out as a recovering roids rage nut could be by the time Nix claimed him off the waivers scrap heap. His Wikipedia page is pure comedy gold when you get to the Bills era: Buffalo Bills (2010–12) Merriman was claimed off waivers by the Buffalo Bills the day after his release from the Chargers. On November 10, Merriman suffered an Achilles injury during his first workout with his new team. Subsequently, on November 27, the Bills placed Merriman on season-ending injury reserve. He signed a two-year contract extension worth $10.5 million with the Bills on January 1, 2011. The deal contained $5 million guaranteed, including $3 million of his 2012 salary. On October 25, 2011, Merriman was placed on Injured Reserve list for the second consecutive season after suffering a partially torn Achilles tendon. Merriman finished the season with nine tackles and a sack in five starts. During the 2012 offseason, Merriman was moved from outside linebacker to defensive end due to the switch of 3–4 to 4–3. On August 20, the team released Merriman. Merriman signed a contract to return to the Bills on October 15, 2012. Retirement On March 5, 2013, Merriman announced his retirement.

Not to mention it sure seemed like Whaley did everything possible throughout his tenure to keep/justify EJ in a Bills uni until the bitter end...just for giggles, here’s some fun EJ trivia you may or may not have known: 1st nfl Qb to have lost a game in 3 different countries—U.S., Canada, U.K. Only to break his own record of futility by becoming the 1st nfl Qb to have lost a game in 4 different countries—add Mexico to the above.

Even the head of a team’s scouting department is still not pulling in millions in annual salary; why would this category be any different? Scouting of any kind is not in GM $$ territory. https://nationalfootballpost.com/are-nfl-scouting-departments-underfunded/ https://www.sapling.com/7746693/average-salary-nfl-scout

Hairbrained, yes. He’s got a cushy gig with little spotlight/pressure, and left under a cloud in Buffalo once already—so what would be in it for him? https://gph.is/1aRLsYP

Let’s take a look after this season’s in the books. But am I surprised at the 1/4 pole? Not really. Let’s see a marked step forward starting tomorrow. I’ll take something similar to the Minnie game please! Just got my XXL Allen game jersey in the mail today so I’d better not regret it, lol

I’ve never quite understood this logic that a lot of posters have spread on these threads, that just because McD comes from defense, then he automatically doesn’t value/understand offensive football. What does a defense have to stop? Another defense? Of course not. Offensive football. So someone who understands D and is good at it, would have to by extension understand what types of offenses are currently “cutting-edge” and what sort of problems they present to a D in working to stop it at a schematic level; thus if you succeed, making you an opposite but equal “reaction” to the offense to be able to most effectively stop it. My point is, from a philosophy standpoint he should be quite understanding of what a good offense looks like—you hire the offensive OC to make the sausage that you may not be as up on, what goes in to the seasoning of it, Daboll’s been letting him down on that front obviously, which was made plain in McD’s postgame pressers this week. But oblivious to offense? Hardly. He’s a HC, and is fully aware of the need to be on top of both sides of the ball now. Otherwise, what’s the point of even having one? Go into a game with coordinators only?

I always remember him playing with a fire in his gut, wore his heart on his sleeve and gave 100% effort. KB needs to watch some of his film. (Oh, and he was definitely interfered with in XXVI)

That’s the spirit! But is it safe to say that you are not in an actuarial profession, like underwriting life insurance? How do you deal with the inevitable heartbreak the Bills have offered up since the AFL championship parties?

Remember his obnoxious Bills wrapped truck? Those were the days—“Wherever that snow dumps the most, that’s where I want to live” ❄️ ⛄️, lol.
