I think there is a pretty good chance that Rex Ryan will be the Jet coach. Woody Johnson wants a name. I don't think there is any "name" outside of Rex who would be willing to work for Johnson. Plus, if Johnson really does pay attention to social media, there's a lot of loud Jets fans such as Joe Benigno calling on the Jets to hire Ryan.

The Bills were better last season (20th in YAC per completion). However, before that the Bills were 31st in 2022 and dead last in 2021. The Bills were 23rd in 2020. It would be interesting to see the breakdown between Dorsey and Brady last season.

As someone pointed out upthread, Saleh and LaFleur are long time friends. They were housemates when they were assistant coaches at Central Michigan and LeFleur was the best man at Saleh's wedding. This is just a guy with some unexpected time on his hands helping out a friend and spending some time together. I highly doubt he would join McDermott (or any other team except the 49ers) to do the same thing. Also, there is certainly no indication from the Jets offense the last few years that Saleh is any good at advising offenses on how to prepare for opposing defenses. I can just imagine the reaction of this board if McDermott hired Saleh to advise the Bills' offense.

On review, it was ruled that Kincaid fumbled the ball forward so the ball was spotted in the wrong place. Since there was a change in the ruling the challenge was technically successful.

That was the game where the SF defenders said they knew everything that was coming but had no idea how to stop it.

According to Wikipedia, teams can be fined, lose draft picks and/or have contracts cancelled, though cancelling Watson's contract would hardly be a penalty.

I didn't say wrecking booths was good energy. I agree that it showed a level of immaturity that you would not want from someone who is supposed to be a leader. However, I don't remember noticing that Dorsey was particularly low energy in general.

I had assumed this was one of those further evidence the league hates the Bills threads. Glad it wasn't.

How was Dorsey low energy? He was the one that wreck the booth after the Miami game.

Agreed and its already cost the Bills some games. There's been a whole lot of special team issues since Smiley came on board.

Absolutely, he was fired after his offense scored 31 points but the Bills lost because Rex Ryan's defense gave up 34. There was also reports that he called Ryan a clown show afterwards though Roman later denied it.

People are always talking about getting weapons for a young QB but to me getting a decent oline and a reliable safety option is much more important. A really bad oline could ruin a young QB for their whole career (see David Carr). Having good olines was a huge advantage for Mahomes and Lamar Jackson when they came into the league. Obviously Jamarr Chase is a excellent WR but if the Bengals had picked Penei Sewell like most expected, maybe Joe Burrow could play more than half the games. Beane thought he had a decent oline for whoever he was going to draft in 2018 but Eric Wood suddenly had to retire, Richie Incognito did what he did, and the Bills finished much better than he expected so he had to trade Cordy Glenn to move up to pick Allen.

The picture is of the actor James McDaniel. Mike McDaniel's father died in a car accident went he was four years old. Here is a picture from Mike McDaniel's parents' wedding: https://www.naijanews.com/buzz/people/who-mike-mcdaniels-parents-everything-miami-dolphins-coach-family/ Pictures of McDaniels' parents on the internet often show his mother and stepfather who is white.

He basically said that before that before the game: "Typically against the Dolphins with their high powered offense, it's about points, not yards, and then taking care of the football." McDermott said. "You look at the games that we've played, the first game last season, we were able to take the ball away and score and score touchdowns rather than field goals, and in the second game we had yards, but not as many points. So it's points over yards and making sure we take care of the ball." https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/listen-mcdermott-its-about-points-not-yards-against-miami/ar-AA1qp4YK So clearly he felt that it was more important than usual, that the Bills score touchdowns rather than field goals.

I don't understand this narrative that Jackson cheated Allen out of the MVP last season. Josh Allen was never in the MVP conversation. He finished a distant 5th well behind Dak Prescott, CMC, and Scott Purdy. Once the Ravens destroyed the 49ers in week 15, it was a foregone conclusion that Jackson would win, especially since the Niners vote got split evenly between CMC and Purdy. If you don't think Jackson should have won the MVP, you should have said Jackson should not have won the MVP over Prescott, CMC or Purdy not Allen. The reasons Allen didn't win the MVP are pretty apparent: (1) The Bills didn't finish as one of the top two teams in the league (2) Allen played pretty badly for a significant part of the season when most of the impressions are made. (3) Allen had too many interceptions. In particular, his three interceptions in the Jets game that everybody was watching re-enforced the impression that he is a turnover machine.
