    McD and Daboll hate each other probably 🤣

    Easy to say if you were lucky enough to never have to struggle with weight issues. Not every overweight person is a product of overeating and lack of exercise. Everyone's body is different. People who have been thin/fit their whole lives (without having to try) have no idea what it is like, so maybe you should be a little less judgmental. 

    I was overweight my entire life (still am, actually, but not grossly) and it wasn't until my early thirties that I learned to stop blaming my genetics. So while it does take a ton of effort for me to get in and remain in shape and I agree that many have no idea what it's like, the fact is that I was being lazy by choosing not to put in the work. You can choose to be a victim or a winner.

    I agree with you, not just sports but any venue, screaming and yelling at someone in public does not help performance

     

    I think McDermott is probably very intense, and a player knows when he's "on the carpet" but he doesn't need to scream in public to convey that impression.

    Come to think of it, even just the other day McDermott made the comment that screaming at someone probably isn't conducive to a good work environment.

    This seems like much more than difference of opinion in terms of coaching philosophy.

     

    I recall after 2020 it seemed like McDermott was annoyed that Daboll didn't get a head coaching job. It raised a red flag for me at that time. It seemed like he was ready to move on.

     

    Other thoughts that come to mind...

     

    Perhaps Daboll was angry with McDermott over 13 seconds. Someone on X said there were rumors that Daboll let McDermott have it afterwards, which would make sense given that Daboll had just overseen a legendary offensive performance and then McDermott ruined it, robbing Daboll of the chance to win a Super Bowl for his hometown team and for Josh on his way out.

     

    Someone else suggested that Daboll made a power play for the head coaching job in Buffalo after 13 seconds.

     

    Yet another suggested that McDermott is jealous of the love that players clearly have for Daboll, which they absolutely do not have for McDermott.

     

    Something else I thought of is that this might have something to do with the fight to secure Dorsey's services. As I recall, both McDermott and Daboll wanted him.

     

    There could be a lot of layers to this onion.

     

    Yesterday, McDermott said that he respects Daboll "as a coach," and there was something there to suggest that he was subtly saying that is the only manner in which he respects him.

    When you can't crush teams you should...it's a problem.

    The Chiefs have been doing this for years.

    There are unrealistic expectations that this team should always dominate an inferior opponent.   When we had Tyrod we would play the pats and a game similar to last night would unfold in the end we lost.  Teams make good game plans.   The giants wanted to play for dabol last night they wanted to play for Tyrod.  They wanted to play for their season and in the end a lot went the way they hoped it would…..two to zero turnovers, punts, missed fgs. and yet the bills still won.  

    This is the best post in the thread. Great post and exactly the right perspective.

    Hey, here’s some fun stuff:  but for the Steelers/Browns bye the Bills would be in 7th in the conference, 1/2 game ahead of the Jets (3-3) who own the tie breaker over them. 
     

    Good, good stuff. 

     

    Nah, it’ll be fine.

     

    The Bills will be in the playoffs.

     

    I've come to believe the location of the game and the opponent don't really matter.

    Agreed with original post.  Every week is a challenge in NFL no matter who you’re playing.  Contrast Josh’s interview to Mahomes after he wins at least 5 ugly games like this every year.  Get the dub and figure stuff out.  They count the same whether you win by 30 or with help from the refs.  

    Excellent point that I almost brought up in my post. It sounds different when Mahomes and the Chiefs win these.

    The biggest blunder of the game IMO

    The decision to kick a 53 FG when already up 4+ points knowing your kicker has been shaky and shanked another 53 yarder earlier in the game.


    Missing the kick would put the Giants in good field position w/ a time out to work with and ample time to dink & dunk their way down to the red zone.

     

    If McDermott would’ve punted, it would’ve placed the Giants around the 10 (who haven’t scored a TD in multiple games) and made them drive 90 yards! This decision would’ve eliminated all those Trent Edwards check downs and forced Tyrod to make multiple big plays. I’m sure the analytics would back this up all day. 
     

    I know it’s irrelevant now, but the Bills are darn lucky to have escaped this game w/ a win. 

    It was a tough situation. Both choices can be argued for and against.

    The Bills won. It didn't look anything like we hoped or expected, but they won.

     

    Bills Mafia and the media are responding like it's a loss. Tony Dungy remarked postgame that Josh Allen sounded like a quarterback who lost.

     

    There was a lot of talk about the Bills possibly benefiting from less pressure this year, but I don't think that's the case. I think there's a lot of internal and external pressure on this team to not only win but also win big and pretty.

     

    I'm not sure this feeling exists in other NFL cities. I think we might need an attitude adjustment, or the weight of expectations could undo this team.

    To the best of my knowledge Terry Pegula and the former president of the Bills have a romantic relationship.

    This is why you don’t have a romantic relationship with somebody who reports to you. 

    I learned that lesson the hard way myself. Best of my life, though.

    Figured it had to be workplace romance - firing the GC and COO on the same day is beyond unusual.  Those Harborcenter parties must be something else!

    This is crazy because I literally just finished a massive project on workplace romance yesterday.

    Uncle Terry no likey workplace shenanigans.  Tell Russ Brandon and Lauren Hall hello.  

    Wait, it was Hall? Isn't she like 30 years younger than Brandon? And isn't he short?
