McDermott & Beane have certainly saved the Bills from certain and near permanent purgatory/football hell, and we as fans are happy as hell about what they have achieved, and what the have achieved is no small thing. Does the above mean they are beyond critique? so far they are great during the regular season, but have come up lacking come post season. It is hoped by all of us that moving on from Frazier, and the other coaching changes are a sign they recognize this, and are taking the very hard decisions needed to push the organization into a position to truly take on the leagues best teams come the post season, I am hopeful yet apprehensive, and I suspect I am not alone in thinking this…, I’m 64 years old, and I want to see the Buffalo Bills win the championship before I am truly old, damn it! GO BILLS!!!

Could we as a group imagine what the league would be like if GMs & HCs said what they really think? It would be really entertaining, ie; so and so has not lived up to expectations, and is on thin ice with us, and he better get his head out of his azs real soon…, 😁👍

Could be, I certainly am not in the know,

Exactly why they will just have to take their chances with CTE or worse, it’s football not a bunch of fashionistas at the mall clothing stores…,

Exactly my point, now what’s the excuse that the Ravens have for making such an absurd offer to begin with?? Being that Lamar has peaked performance wise and is injury prone, and has missed a lot of games because of those injuries???

Not seeing how any of that is relevant to protecting one’s brain 🧠, I guess if the big guys wearing tight pants find a device that so obviously protects their brains from injury (in a sport that such injuries happen frequently) not fashionable enough well those snowflakes will just have to take their chances of getting CTE or worse now won’t they…,

It confuses me that Lamar, or anyone for that matter would turn down something to the tune of one hundred and thirty million dollars guaranteed, likely with other cash for performance incentives on top of that. What is all the more confusing is that his team is making this offer to a QB that has so obviously already peaked performance wise, and is apparently injury prone. I’m trying to assess why the parties involved would make and, then in turn refuse the offer, is it a cognitive issue? Or is it uncontrolled greed/arrogance? I’m thinking it is both, by both entities. I will say Its is nice as a Bills fan to see another team having to deal with this complete and utter nonsense.

Likely not a comfort issue, it’s all about fashion over function, but hey, it’s not my brain 🧠…,

Should this be true, it says something about football players…,

This has been correct, but the root cause is play design and scheming, are you say that Basham, Epenesa, et al; are they not used to their best effect?

Yes, it will be the Senior defensive assistant guy,

Yes, because the entire team will be so depressed that Leslie is gone they won’t be able to play anymore…

Well, being that our most recent DC couldn’t, it a push then isn’t it…, GO BILLS!!!

Hopefully it will go far enough, 🤞 like I said in the post you responded to, “maybe” McDermott realizes his scheme needs adjustments, 🤞 and we all know Leslie is not one to make adjustments ever. Fingers crossed that it will be change for the better,

Leslie doesn’t need you to defend him, he has been a good regular season DC, the record says as much, but come playoff time his scheme showed to be lacking, repeatedly, and as is the norm in the NFL, he was shown the door, in a gracious manor by his boss. Maybe if we are fortunate, McDermott has seen the light and realizes that the defense needs schematic help, and we all know Leslie was not going to make adjustments, he never has, so it is what it is, Leslie retires a rich man, with a fine reputation. All is good. GO BILLS!!!

If this is what it sounds like, LF is gone, and his replacement is already on board. Maybe just maybe we will see, a defensive scheme that is not identical from game to game, and actual adjustments during games that have actual effect on outcomes, or is this just misguided hope? Frazier is an overall good person and I wish nothing but the best for him, enjoy your retirement Leslie! GO BILLS!!!

It is more a DC problem than a player problem, imo we have sufficient talent, it is just not being schemed for success. LF is far to rigid in his scheming and prefers contain vs an attacking style Defense, that works reasonably well against the average to lesser teams, hence our regular season record, but when it comes to playing the elite teams in post season games his scheme is just to predictable, and good HCs and their coordinators have shown that they know how to beat his scheme, three seasons in a row now…, and yet he still pretty much refuses to make adjustments to counter the best teams, and here we are in discussion about this yet again. GO BILLS!!!

Getting “Prime assets” are a “need” for every team, all draft picks are for need…, BPA/BPA at position of need are both needs, it is never not done for a perceived need.

Really? 300 pound guys in tight pants doesn’t look ridiculous? 😂 that’s a bit of a weak argument…,

My four bedroom colonial with an attached two car garage in Brighton (just outside of Rochester) has the same property tax as my Two bedroom Cape Cod in West Hartford Ct. but if I had gone for a similar four bedroom place in West Hartford taxes would have been 20k and higher annually, and rising depending on location…, but there are benefits to high tax locations, folk tend to not realize this till they find out the services that they had grown used to tend to not compare in lower property tax locations, we have friends that moved to Sarasota, (Gated community) thinking there tax /overhead costs would be lower but it turned out to be a push according to them, property tax and hurricane and flood insurance etc. there is no free lunch.

Looks like Poyer is willing to go where the biggest money is, remember this is a job, loyalty only last as long as the money is good/competitive, Happy wife happy life…, not so certain there is a bush…,

Agree, we need a big influx of above average talent on the line and WR, I’m just not completely confident Beane will actually do it, and I don’t think I’m alone on this. Beane is going to have to dump some salary to achieve this, it will be interesting to watch this unfold. GO BILLS!!!

I’ll start this off with, we are light years ahead of the drought years, and we are all happy as hell about that, but now it’s about fine tuning/ making effective adjustments throughout the season. Dorsey’s offense became very predictable, and had next to zero flow from play to play, this was pointed out by former NFL QBs, sure we squeaked by a lot of opponents in the regular season, but come post season, going against the best teams Dorsey in effect did nothing to mix things up to put the opponents on their back foot, he did not put his players in a position to be successful, and we got soundly trounced by the Bengals. The same can be said about our defense, no adjustments to keep Opponents offenses guessing, it’s year three of post season failings on Frazier/ McDermott, and the buck stops at McDermotts desk…, coaches are responsible for play design/scheme, and bringing in players that aren’t performing to expectations, then continuing to roll it back season after season. GO BILLS!!!

Just a small part of it, And I am massively happy the Bills have him as our QB1 Dorseys poor play design. And scheming is making Josh’s job far more difficult than it needs to be, not to mention the drops…,

Being that even the lowest paid players are in the top 3 percent annual income bracket in America, I have no pity concerning their financial compensation, any player that won’t do what it takes to make that work long term for themselves is what is referred to as an…, well, not being particularly clever…,
