Ok I agree with you. McDermott is ridiculously safe.

Great move for NE. Sign Elliot and take touches away from Rhamonde…

The people in this thread that thing McDermott took over playcalling duties to save his job are just adorable. Make no mistake about it, sans a colossal disaster Sean McDermott is not getting fired after the season. period. IMO I think he took over duties because he wasn’t completely satisfied with the job Frazier did this season. He knows that the Bills have a great chance to go all the way this season, and he’s rather put it all on his shoulders rather than someone else’s

You honestly think he’s on the hot seat… 🤣

His biggest contribution came this season on the sidelines when he got Quay Walker to shove him forcing a 15 yard roughing call and an ejection.

Read this headline and you tell me that Florio is not a great journalist 🤣

That is correct… With that being said, his job is to write articles that getting people talking and in the process drive traffic to his Substack - where a percentage will be converted to subscribers. I don’t think Ty chases clicks or embellished stories. I do think he writes polarizing articles that he knows will fans buttons - specifically in Buffalo and Green Bay. Nothing wrong with that, but his current venture is different than covering the sport for a major news outlet Ah ok… I just remember when they hired Beane back in the day, I thought McDermott implied that he would report to Beane but we all knew it was BS

This is why it’s laughable that people talk about Brandon Beane “firing” McDermott. The position isn’t structured that way. While McDermott might report to Beane on an org charge, he outranks him in terms of actual control and power in the organization. The only person with the most power in Buffalo outside of Terry/Kim is Sean McDermott. Terry is the only person who can fire McDermott. Keep in my Terry gave McD unprecedented autonomy for a rookie HC in 2017 because he was so impressed. McD paid him back by breaking the drought in year 1, found a QB, put together a SB contending roster, and more importantly transformed the impression of the Bills who were a laughing stock. McDermott is the only coaching hire that Terry got right (Granato is a still a question mark IMO). Do you honestly see him firing McDermott because they didn’t win a SB?

What about a “successful visit?” What is that supposed to mean? He made it to Tennessee…how can it not be successful?

Bell is a good comp. He’ll begrudgingly return to the Giants once he realizes that his position group is screwed. The NFL has him by the balls and not the balls you spoke after a TD

TBH I think his stats will be modest. I can’t remember a rookie skill player on offense ever really stepping up from the start. Gabe Davis…kind of? Motor? Just hoping he can be an asset in the red zone I’m going with 35 receptions 420 yards 4 TD’s

McDermott is a very coach. His record speaks for itself.

It’s going to be Miami 100%

He very well could be completion for Lewis/Neal, especially considering how the league is emphasizing ST this season. White, Elam, Johnson, and Jackson are 100% safe. I can see the Bills moving Benford to S if Danzler beats out Lewis. Of course, there’s a chance both Lewis and Danzler don’t make the roster

This guy is a nobody. I’ve noticed how no one picked up on the report from his “illustrious sources.”

Does this mean the “sports curse” in Buffalo is over?

I think that 15th best is in the ball park of where Oliver is. If he plays well than this deal is a steal for Buffalo. If he plays the same way he has over the past few seasons then atleast it’s not a tremendous overpay

It literally is. I’ve gotten suspended for it!!!!

Baltimore overpaid for OBJ. No team wanted to give him that deal. Even KC was rumored to be waiting for the price to drop. Much like Cleveland signing Watson to guaranteed money, the OBJ overpay messed up the veteran WR market for the time being

He was a good starting pitcher for Minnesota. My point is, the Mahomes family was never struggling for money

His father was also one of the top MLB pitchers at one time. I don’t exactly think the family is struggling for money

That was my thread! I deleted it after gettinf shamed by people like @Warcodered because I didn’t meticulously search beyond the second page of this forum for topics on previous threads!

And yet people continue to B word that NYS gave them money to build a stadium

I think it was a combination of Aaron Kromer and the fact that Buffalo tried to sign him in 2018. He was signed to a one-year so he was never going to be a long term answer, but I think they expected a lot more. He was the weakest link on a pretty average OL

I remember in Week 1, he popped up a pass that turned into an INT. Obviously that goes on Josh, and maybe it was too hard of a throw, but a better receiver makes that catch.
