With the distinct possibility that Miami will be in a position to rest starters in the final week of the season, I'd definitely stay away from this analogy. There was more than one cheeseburger game! That was the year I started on the buffalobills.com message board. And literally destroyed my teenage bedroom when we lost to the Steelers

It's absurd to still be thinking about winning the division. If anything, you should be hoping the Dolphins run away with the AFCE and are locked into the 2 seed going into week 18 so they rest against us. In that scenario, Bills probably just need to beat Jets, Chargers, Patriots, Dolphins backups, and one of Eagles/Chiefs/Cowboys in order to make it.

Sorry all, I'm not a subscriber and it opened up just fine for me? Here is the actual interview on which the article is based:

Great read! Frazier even recently visited with Tre'Davious White.

Interesting that the take on here is much different than what it is on Twitter. On Twitter, everyone is rejoicing and for some reason thinking this was a great press conference and Diggs diffused everything. I don't have the same take on this that those on Twitter do. Towards the end, I think Stef is saying that he is unhappy, but it doesn't matter because there's nothing that can be done about it (because of untradable contract). He's saying he's unhappy but remaining professional.

I have no effing idea. NYJ 17 BUF 23 With NYJ driving to score a TD and win at the end.

A few may recall me writing this in 2020, at which point I was universally condemned, but now most fans would agree! McDermott is a solid playoff coach, but not a championship coach, I fear... So Bills fans are like, "We're 8-3! Enjoy it!" But I see a frustrating period of good-but-not-good-enough on the horizon for the foreseeable future. And that's depressing. I am absolutely not of the "Hey, it's Buffalo; at least we're winning" type of mentality. It's championships or nothing. That is the life goal. And with McDermott signing a long-term contract, I almost feel as hopeless as I would if we sucked. If we sucked, at least there would be hope of striking coaching gold on an imminent hire. In this case, though, I feel like we'll just be a solid playoff team for the next many years, but not elite enough to win it all. So, yeah, LAMP! Suck it 🙂

I don't know, but apparently, per Carucci, it makes McDermott late for his postgame press conference all the time.

Yep, and now he only appears with Bills team employee Sal Capaccio

Slightly incorrect -- he was suspended for divulging lineup information from practice. Brown, Tasker, and Sal are Bills employees, so they are state radio for sure, but otherwise WGR hosts are not Bills employees and do criticize the team openly.

I think you mean MSNBC or Fox. CNN actually grades out as the most fair network

Vic Carucci on SiriusXM immediately after the firing said that Pegula meets with McDermott after the games before McDermott talks to the media. Vic said that McDermott is feeling the heat.

He talks around it. Every time it was brought up this year, everyone talked around it. They didn't actually work together like they have in the past.

I was thoroughly reading through the thread to see if anyone suggested this, because I was going to. If the rumors around discontent with McDermott are true, and if Brady can show that he specifically has the answers to unlock Allen and this offense, it would be a wise long term move for Pegula to lock in the offensive mind at HC; otherwise, we'll get 1-2 years max with Brady and then have to start over again.

I will keep banging my head against this wall until someone notices:

No.

Tasker is an embarrassment. Yesterday he said the Diggs offseason stuff was no issue at all and reprimanded a fan for being concerned about it. If it was no issue at all, McDermott wouldn't have been "very concerned" and sent Diggs home. I mean, come on. There's being a homer and then there's completely drowning in the Kool-Aid and Tasker is definitely the latter.

You need them to beat each other by the Ravens running away with it and the Bengals taking a Wild Card. The Browns or Steelers winning is ALWAYS bad.

Very incorrect. It's only 42% if we beat the Broncos. And only 49% if we beat the Broncos AND the Jets. The Bills are at the point where they're going to have to beat the Cowboys and Chargers AND pull a major upset (one of @PHI, @KC, or @MIA) to make the playoffs.

The 1:00 hour was remarkably devastating for the Bills. It feels like they lost without playing. The Buffalo Bills have a 37% chance of making the playoffs after wins by the Texans, Browns, and Steelers.

Please tell me you did this on purpose

He won't. This 👏 is not 👏 relevant 👏 unless your standard is just to not suck

I remember back in earlier years, McDermott would talk about trusting the process and that it takes time to build a program. I wish someone would ask him about that now.

I think the Bills would be at exactly the same place they are today if they had Nyheim Hines.

Josh Allen is the #1 QB in the NFL according to advanced metrics and QBR. I am done with this conversation. He isn't the problem.
