Ethan in Cleveland

Too many games to count... Worst game ever was Peterman game at the Chargers. I left at half-time. Second worst was Bills at Green Bay with Allen. Bills were not even competitive in that game. Third worst was Jags playoff loss. The only playoff game I've attended that the Bills lost.

Terrible hire Even Brady has had more success than this guy.

I dont think the Colts with Manning or the Steelers with Roethlisberger thought they were that far behind Brady. Same goes for Bills and Bengals. Maybe the Chargers and Raiders do having to face him twice a year. But my guess is Harbaugh won't have the Chargers playing in awe or fear of him or the Chiefs.

Next two times I will cry will be when Bills win the SuperBowl and Patrick Stewart dies.

Bears would be fools to not end up with Harrison in this draft. They should move down one spot and let some other team take the fools gold that is Caleb Williams. Then pair Harrison with Fields or a veteran like Cousins. Bears could get a mint again just by dropping down one spot.

You can support and critique at the same time. I can want a new HC and wish McDermott success at the same time. Because I am so effusive in my critique of him I have tried harder to point out the good things he does. Ie promoting Babich from within and letting Johnson get the final carries in the Steelers game to reward a player for hard work. I hope all fans of our team wish them only the best. Even during the bleakest of times I can not recall ever rooting for them to lose even if it meant a better draft position. I just can't do that.

Both losses feel like the Bills are four plays away from two SuperBowl wins.

Can we amend the Constitution to say Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise therof and NFL coaches and players should keep thy religion to thyself.... That last little bit is an homage to George Carlin BTW

Really hope he does ok. On one hand, it is good to see a guy do well and get promoted for doing his job well. That promotes good culture and willingness for good people to be in the organization. That is McDermott's strength. The contrarian in me just needs to point out that he is a McD disciple. So what will he add to the defense to get a better/different outcome? Maybe an outside voice even if running the same base defense would add some new concepts or wrinkles. To me this just signals more of the same. Is that good enough? It hasn't been in 7 years so why would we expect it to be any better next year. No doubt injuries took their toll. So maybe the outcome will be different next year. I have faith in only one person to deliver a Lombardi - Josh Allen. Beane please go get this guy some more weapons.

He's been a massive disappointment as a high draft pick. Let someone else pay for him to be good for three games and then disappear. 100% agree! I pick up the 5th year guarantee on Rousseau and make him earn an extension with a great 5th year.

Nobody says Mahomes is unquestionably better than Allen. Everyone says Reid is unquestionably better than McDermott!

I would like to see Jones and Johnson back. Jones on a two year deal would be ideal. Johnson is a nice player but outside of Buffalo probably won't command much interest. Hopefully Beane doesn't overpay for him. He can be easily replaced with a day 3 draft pick. Edwards and Rapp would be in the next tier of guys to bring back. They will draft a safety for sure but Rapp gives them a nice 3rd safety option. Hamlin as the fourth safety and special teams guy would be ok for another year. I would help Epenesa drive to the airport. Jackson, Dodson, and Davis are all good players but will be too expensive to keep. Hopefully they net a couple low round comp picks after these three leave. Floyd on a discount would be nice. Hopefully the market for him will be slim.

We are the Manning/Dungy Colts revisited. Great QB and loser HC battling against the greatest QB and HC of the era. We will be lucky to get a single SuperBowl and it will only happen like Manning did it. During the SuperBowl run while down at home he waived off the punt team and overruled his HC to keep the drive alive and start a comeback. Josh will need to do the same one day

Yeah we have Allen they have Reid

Lol ... go back and read this same type of thread before the season and Bass was included as an example. No argument Beane has made up for some of his 2nd round failures with some late round gems. This year I'd be happy if he just got a great punter and a developmental Center in the last three rounds. He needs to get a great WR and edge rusher in rounds 1 and 2

Except he is none of these things He isn't the third TE What key dirty work is he doing? Edwards is the guy doing the dirty work and playing the heavy blocking TE on most snaps Gilliam is a relic of an outdated winning philosophy just like our HC.

Lol I'm not sure he is any of these He's not a good blocker. He's not terrible I,guess Good special teams? Again how would we know and who cares? Anybody care who plays Special Teams for the Chiefs??? Who cares if he is a good athlete We don't need an emergency TE He isn't cheap at all. Any UDFA for league minimum can take his spot and play a position the team might actually need.

McD has been a fraud since the Houston collapse. His D played great against the Ravens. Other than that he has been totally outclassed. Beane needs to exert control this offseason and prioritize the WR group and the DL. He fixed the oline last year and the RB group will be fine whoever backs up Cook. TE group is great. Now just go get a WR or two to help Diggs and Shakir. Then get younger at edge. He needs to ***** can these special teams players.

AJ has been invisible his whole career. Can't wait to move on from Epenesa. Really poor draft pick. Floyd can go too. Need to get younger at edge.

He knows just like Diggs knows our headcoach is holding us back. And he knows he can't do anything about it. He's stuck just like us with a guy that talks having winners mindset after losing in the playoffs again.

With our cap a core special team player should be a late round rookie or UDFA. Have to stop wasting money on marginal players. And wouldn't it have been nice to have an extra DB on the team? And same goes for Matakevich. He can't play LB yet he has a roster spot. Sure would have been nice to have an actual LB on the roster for that final game Waste of money, cap space, and roster spots.

Hopefully new OC will convince McD that he is useless. A team with Josh Allen does not need a FB. A third TE can take all his snaps.

Because drops have not been a long term issue for him. He is more likely to go back to his norm which is a reliable catcher of the football.

Of course not I just don't believe McDermott was the reason they made the playoffs in 2017. They made the playoffs despite his incredibly bad coaching decisions that included his defensexgiving up 296 rush yards at home to the Saints, starting Peterman on the road, and playing for a tie in OT. It was TT that beat the Dolphins twice in three weeks and a miracle from the Benglas that ended the drought

3rd place schedule Lucky win by Benglas over Ravens Opportunistic defense Bills were outscored by almost 50 points on the season Oh yeah and McDermott played for a tie in the Colts snow OT game when a tie would have meant Bills missed the playoffs.
