What job security? It doesn't matter if he just signed a contract. A coach who just signed a big fat contract can and will be kicked to the curb if he doesn't deliver on performance - look at Urban Meyer (5 year, ~$50 million, gone in less than a season), look at Jon Gruden (10 year, $100 million, gone in 3 years and 5 games after a 60-57 record). Look at Rex Ryan for that matter.

I think you guys have no clue what the necessary work looks like for a HC or coordinator. Rex Ryan didn't put in the necessary work and it was known. It's always reasonable to question whether someone at McDermott's level is putting in the RIGHT work - are the film cutups and scouting he's looking at good enough? Is he focused too much on cutups and not getting a good "gestalt picture"? Is he focused too much on watching entire games and not delegating/relying on his assistants and "cut ups" enough? Does he micromanage his OC and DC and overrule them too much? Is he too "hands off" when he should be stepping in and overruling? During the game, does he rely on analytics too much? Or is he too old-fashioned and go with his gut too much? All fair game to ask and question. But C'Mon Man, even losing NFL coaches like Spagnuolo with the Rams basically live at the facility Sunday nite through Wednesday during the season and have to schedule family time. This is a ridiculous take.

The current board philosophy is members should start whatever threads they want within very broad guidelines, and how many people choose to respond will select which threads are worthy and stay on the front page, and which fall off Personally, I think when the front page is littered with "The Big Lie we were fed that McDermott is a disciplined, prepared, hard worker" "Why is this team, and staff, so dumb?" "Sean McDermott is a stupid coach" "Fitzpatrick's veiled criticism of Dorsey?" "The Official Fire Ken Dorsey Thread" etc it might be time for a bit of pruning because I think when there's too much idiocracy, it drives a number of contributing, smart posters to step out. But that's just my opinion, and it's not the current SOP.

Yes. I will feel dirty while doing so and take a shower immediately afterwards, but "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" applies.

Things can change. But if I recall correctly, NFL insiders have repeatedly commented that the one team they get the least info about their planned moves is the Bills. So if there are rumors and talk running around the league, I'm less inclined to believe it's a likely move.

“Hey Fitz Show Me Your Titz” LOL

If it's to the point where we've got Josh Norman active ahead of our last year's #1 pick, he's either getting traded OR he's really bad.

I could be mistaken, as I can't recall seeing a "tush push" from above, but I don't think that's a "tush push" That seems more like a conventional QB sneak, badly executed. And no, contrary to what one of the commenters on the first link said, the Vikes player was not dirty.

So the two games in a row you stated is vs. the Pats, and then McDermott not confirming the start this week?

FIFY, from what I saw. Just awful.

Negative, he wants it to focus on his *bleeep*

Ah, OK - but one needs to somehow take turnovers for which he's responsible and yards lost to sacks into account somehow.

Well that worked out!

? Williams was replaced by Dodson when stepped in for injury Consensus seemed to be he played pretty well against the Giants

Someone commented on this elsewhere - that it seemed as though the plays were getting in late and on one play, Josh was gesturing as though he hadn't gotten the play right before the cutoff.

You're a Bad Man. A Bad, Bad Man. I like that in a man. You need an option for "Not only No, but Hell No."

Hyde of course, and then at the end of the season Damar Hamlin who had been our #2 safety all season. Missing Daquan Jones from the Bengals game hurt. This year there's no question we're on fumes. Last season I thought Settle was maybe playing hampered with a calf injury. This season he just looks "lost in space"

Yes - plus Ed Oliver was playing, but in a shoulder brace

So starting out missing Tre, and ending up missing Von?

He's got a sprained shoulder. A sprain in his non-throwing shoulder caused his completion % to dip for 4 games in 2020. There's every reason to think it's impacting him and will for the next 3-4 weeks. In 2020, Daboll had a game or two where he strongly limited passing attempts, and we just ran ran ran. Maybe we need that, instead of 41 pass attempts to 24 rushes.

Wellllll.......I am the one who suggested that Singletary and McKenzie should be equipped with the sort of tall orange fiberglass poles you find affixed to Syracuse fire hydrants in winter. Yes, sometimes Josh does throw to tightly covered players he trusts, while ignoring open ones he trusts less. I wouldn't want to say that Josh "doesn't see" open receivers, but I think it's pretty inarguable that Josh will pass up open receivers who are short of the sticks in favor of taking a deep shot, sometimes to a pretty well covered receiver downfield. Sometimes, because that tendency is on film, to a well covered receiver with a DB in position to jump the route and pick him. He's aggressive, and he has that "arm arrogance". Sometimes it pays off, and sometimes it doesn't. It's also a fact that Josh will tend to respond to pressure by extending the play with his legs, instead of getting the ball out quickly to an underneath option with so much green in front of him they could plant a christmas tree farm. It's a blessing and a curse. Yes, Josh was 7th in the league in passing yards and Y/A last season, which is top. Is that good enough? Mahomes was #1. Josh was also #3 in INT last season. Is that good enough? Maybe if we want to win a championship, especially with a depleted defense, we need Josh to "level up". Which he has inarguably demonstrated HE CAN DO. I'm having trouble finding that "top 3 in production" stat for last year and this - can you help me?

Then maybe Josh Allen needs to stop trying to be "low positive" and start trying to be whatever he was in 2020, 2021 etc.

How was their defense worse than decimated last season? You're right of course. I think a lot of us look at the offense though, because if the offense were playing better (fewer dumb-ass turnovers, someone besides Diggs stepping up) we would also be 6-1

Except that Josh is NOT "what he is". He HAS been able to be patient, take what the defense gives him, see the open WR and TE and RB. And not too long ago. So what has changed?
