Beane isn't as petty as I am...

Can we just hold him and not put him on waiver, activate him each week, and fine him for not reporting? He is pulling the Gronk trade to Detroit move!

Agree on all counts. If you are looking to fire McD at the end of the year, the options are: 1) Promote Brady 2) Bring a coach back from retirement (Gruden, Arians, etc.). I find this VERY unlikely, but potential. You also could risk someone like Rivera being hired by Pegula 3) Promote another team's OC/DC. Unfortunately, not many options here. Do you try to grab ANOTHER DC like Sean to come over? Flores? IDK. Seems like a waste as Sean is already the defensive minded HC. Maybe you grab an OC, but there isn't much out there. If you go the Shanahan tree, it may provide options, but how long is that well going to be good for? My opinion, you either keep Sean for another year, or promote Brady. I dont see any other reasonable risk free options in the market.

Buddy, she was a 6 at best. You asked what McD would have done without Allen, I gave you the only evidence we can go off of. But feel free to move the goal posts

What does he look like? Maybe making breaking the longest playoff drought in franchise history? But IDK there isn't any sample to go off of. Oh wait.

Which Super Bowl winning teams in the past 10 years have come from quick adjustments and retools as opposed to full on rebuilds? Chiefs - no Eagles - maybe the only case - Reich brought in a new wave offense that led them to their win. Sirianni was a potential fire candidate before last year Patriots - no Rams - no, they bottomed out for a #1 OVR pick Bucs - no, Brady was a once in a decade get Broncos - No, Manning was a once in a decade get Very rarely do teams who win the Super Bowl get it done quickly after a coaching change or adjustment, without MAJOR additions coming their way (Brady, Manning)

1) Brian Dabol - Yes 2) Mike McDaniel - No, but can he run a viable defense? 3) Robert Selah - No, but is he anything more than Sean? 4) Matt Eberflus - Yes 5) Brian Callahan - Yes 6) Doug Pederson - Yes

I'm not sold on Vrabel at all - he had two good years with the Titans in an ass division and then fell apart to being fired. He is rolling with a hot team on a weak schedule Payton is on his third year with Denver, doesnt have a playoff victory. Is that BETTER than Sean? I'm not convinced. Harbaugh has been OK with an LA team that a lot of people were high on last year. 11-6 last year and whooped by the Texans in the wild card round. And all of that said, those guys need to want to come here too. Does Vrabel want to come to Buffalo? I wouldn't be convinced. Johnson has been the only young talented coordinator that I'd have considered letting Sean go for. He has created an offensive structure with his run game that is effective, and could potentially ease Allen's workload as the leader of the offense. With that said - Brady is quite capable, and with equal offensive talent to what detroit had last year, probably would have been the same hot candidate for teams to hire.

Ben Johnson is the only Head Coach Hire in the past 5 years I'd take over Sean. Maybe Sean Payton, however I'm not sure Allen and his scheme would mesh incredibly well. Allen winning his MVP saved McD's seat last year, and frankly cost them a shot at Johnson. It's the name of the game. I dont see any great candidates out there right now, so I dont think I'd be thrilled to move on from Sean.

Williams is nothing close to Mahomes/Allen/Lamar. He is benefiting from Ben Johnson’s incredible run game. nix is a decent starter. He is also about 50 years old. He is at his ceiling. Maye is good, but are we going to really say a 30 TD 10 Int season is top tier? I don’t think so. the NFL has 5 amazing QBs. Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, Stafford, burrow that isn’t changing unless Stafford retires

I about died laughing when Romo said “this year the chiefs have the most efficient running game of Mahomes career” what an absolutely insane thing to say

Cleveland offense is nothing compared to Houston. Houston has a passable wild card offense - Cleveland is terrible.

Cleveland with Gabriel or Sanders isn't an easy win? Crazy talk We win Cleveland and Jets for sure. Pitt is a likely win if Rodgers is out and on a long week of rest. That leaves the need to potentially win 1 of NE/Cinci/Philly to for sure make the playoffs.

That's an assumption on those other teams, none of them are playoff proven. Just like when KC was a wild card team a few years ago and everyone thought their offense wasn't good enough, and then it was. Last year the Bills allow over 40 points in back to back games, and everyone thought we were screwed. Then the defense does well in the wild card and divisional games. If the reality is an 11-6 Bills team goes into Denver in the Wild Card game, I'm still picking the Bills to win.

Babich gone immediately. They need a new face in the organization to tackle the defense. If Sean can't hand the reins over like that, then it's a decision to move on from him as well. Keep Brady at OC. He isn't terrible, he just has bad playcalling moments. I still think he is upper half of the league when it comes to offensive scheme and production. I'd like to get a DC who will be on the sidelines. Babich being upstairs annoys me, I think there are too many communication breakdowns as a result. Get a vet DC who has some proven success (maybe Schwartz if Cleveland clears house). If Sean goes, I may consider bringing in Jim Bob Cooter as HC purely for his amazing name. Or, I'd like college ranks to see if I can get a guy who has the emotions to match the needs of this team. Restructure Knox, let Edwards walk and have Grable fill. Keep McGovern. 2026 first if picking around 20 is either a package to move up for a WR, or draft a stud LB. I'd like to see if Coleman can develop into year 3. I give him another year. Come out of the draft and FA with a WR2 or WR1, starting LB, new Slot Corner. Figure out if Bosa will come back for a similar rate, or if we need to target another guy via trade or FA. Small adjustments to replace Milano/Johnson/Samuel/White for younger talent would help us immensely. There is talent on the roster, but we have bottom of the depth chart guys playing due to their career as opposed to their current talent level. DC needs to change though
