Chaos

What is the basis for the bolded part. Guy has reasons, but 2022, does just not seem to be his year.

If McVay walks away and the Bills don't win the super bowl this year, someone really needs to think about the potential of a McVay - Allen pairing.

the bold part is the most unproven part of the McDermott regime. He has not demonstrated the ability to " everything had to go just right at the right time" Maybe it is all just luck. But for about 20 years, the AFC super bowl participating QB was Tom Brady , Peyton Manning or Ben Rothlisberger. (brief rich gannon, joe flacco interludes). Each of the big three has won super bowls with more than one coach. In the current era, having Josh Allen for 10 years and not winning or even participating in a Super Bowl would be an epic failure and tragic. This is year 6. Bills winning the Super Bowl, and McDermott coaches the Bills until he wants to retire in all likelyhood. A failure to make the super bowl this year and being the Bills or Bengals supplicants, would be another chapter in a sad story. Or maybe Josh Allen isn't one of the best two QBs in football.

We used to have a different word for "toxic work culture". In the old days we called it "a job". Toxic Work Culture 1950: Toxic Work Culture 2022:

The NFL has a weird series of compounding advantages. For example head to head am for non-divisional opponents means that if two teams tie the home team in the h2h won, they can home field advantage again. That is not particularly fair.

Name 16 teams that would not make the playoffs with Josh Allen as QB this year. If you can I will agree I was wrong.

lol

Its not clear we will be playing any teams coached by Gregg Williams, Dick Jauron on Mike Mularkey in the foreseeable future. In real life they are all irrelevent. Bills fans are so used to total incompetence that average competence appears like greatness to them, and slightly above average competence appears irreplaceable. This perception problem workd in reverse when fans called for firing Wade Phillips after he did not deliver Marv Levy level results. Always better to follow Doug Marrrone and Rex Ryan, than to follow Marv Levy.

Everyone who plays the "Belichek sucks without Brady game" needs to realize that more than half the coaches with the NFL would make the playoffs with Josh Allen on the roster.

got confused, being a bills forum and all

Mr. Diggs says hello.

Not sure who will win the Award, but Allen is the MVP and it is not even close.

It makes the game a worse product in my opinion. I wish it would stop.

I know we are supposed to hate PFF but they are one of the only sites that rank olives. They rank the bills below average at 22nd. Probably more reliable than your eye test of a couple of games per week.

Terrell Owens is was the same

Please be happy in your belief Belichick is just an average coach.

Yes. Drafting 30th every year really doesn't lend itself well to creating a stream of franchise Qbs. As recently as 1 week ago, 10% of all starting QBs in the NFL were drafted by Bellichek (brisset, jimmy g, mac jones)

People are not too bright. Belicheks record with sub-par qbs has far more wins than the expected value.

I am not a full time GM, nor do I have professional and college scouting staff. But it seems like almost every team in the NFL is able to find starting inside linebackers for less than a 10 million cap hit. Some will argue that that he is some sort of hybrid inside / outside linebacker. But all of the big money outside linebackers are profiecient pass rushers (Joey Bosa, Khalil Mack, etc.) https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/positional/inside-linebacker/

It is very hard to say. Its pretty clear Edmunds is better than who ever backs him up on the Bills. But if we don't keep him, we will replace him with someone not on the roster today. Would we better off with a different starting quality mlb in the for 8 or 10 million per year less than Edmunds and using the money to upgrade the oline. Bills oline is not even NFL average at this point. Protecting Josh Allen needs to be the priority in any long term plan.

we do the game "Bellichek without Brady" all the time. Shanahan has never had a top end QB. A .500 record is pretty solid with the QBs Shanahan has done. Do five years of "McDermott without Allen". Not sure anyone would expect it to be better than 61-58

Browns have a new QB, maybe they will trade Brissett

Jimmy G is out for the season. https://www.nfl.com/news/jimmy-garoppolo-suffered-broken-foot-vs-dolphins-will-miss-rest-of-season?campaign=Twitter_atn

Not enough to matter. But i have money to bet next week now

If Chargers lose
