McDermott said of Hairston "He's only been back a week... give or take..." I feel like it wasn't a restful bye week for His Clapness...

Did you realize at the time that the "g" is silent?

I'm still hopeful that Bishop will develop into a fine player but for me, it's not that Bishop failed to make the play... it's how miserably he failed. Robinson only has 10 lbs on Bishop. It shouldn't have been like a fly and a windshield. But what a special teamer! Talk about winning the one on ones consistently... It'll always be a mystery to me that some players are great at special teams but their prowess somehow doesn't translate to offense or defense.

So this week you're not predicting a return to glory? The fans forget quickly. Regarding the team itself, I appreciate the culture, the process, and everything McBeane has built here. It counts for a lot and it's made Buffalo a more attractive destination for players. That said, I feel McBeane probably go farther than many/most teams in terms of being dispassionate about their players... meaning that they let their emotions or their convictions on a player cloud their judgement too often. Granted it's a very hard balance to find but I sometimes feel that there's too many feel good stories and not enough cold, hard decisions being made on player performance. Again, it's a hard balance to find because you're trying to build loyalty and trust with the players and that counts too. JMO.

He's been working out with Tremaine Edmunds for the last few offseasons.

There's a rumor that in 2023 the NY State Attorney General's office was investigating the Bills for violating child labor laws... and that's what caused the team to allow Tremaine to leave the state and sign with the Bears.

Gilligan? From Gilligan's Island?

While Tremaine's not as young as many here would lead you to believe, he only turned 20 on May 2nd. I'd bet huge sums of money that JJ McCarthy will be starting the Vikings' next game.

I've heard of him!!! "Twelve men on the field on the defense... that's a 5 yard penalty and repeat 1st down..." He's not quite the heat-seeking missile Milano was in his prime but he's not a huge liability in coverage, though a bit more of a thumper. Also I don't know if or how much he's slowed down from his prime in 2021-22. In his prime he was a 3-down linebacker.

I noticed that Keon's pretty slow at deleting his tweets.

Quick cognitive test... how old is Tremaine Edmunds?

Great topic and a refreshing change from the redundant McBeane hate and Wide Receivers topics. Agreed. Both of those coaches have had greater professional success than McDermott but true... neither one has a discernible tree... I understand why that would be a criteria but I disagree... Firstly, great chart... thank you. To the bolded I was excited to add that to the conversation until you brought it up on page 4. I absolutely agree with you that Dan Campbell (Super Bowl or not) has a coaching tree... Ben Johnson, Aaron Glenn and soon, Kelvin Sheppard... and this after only 5 years as a Head Coach.

Besides that, Ray Ray is definitely not a "process guy." In fact the situation surrounding his release is quite murky and casts doubt on his character. Not only is in left field, it's in foul territory! 😝 Just kidding... it's outside the box and I like it but everything written about the Ravens is that they believe the playoffs are within reach and that they're more likely to be buyers than sellers.

Harbaugh breathing from the mouth...

Aye, the McConkey lad runs like a frisky kid goat on a fresh pitch of spring turf...

He's also a serious mouth breather. @boyst... is that you? 😄 I'm in a 10-team league and was 4th in the waiver order this week. I placed a claim for Gadsden when I saw the 3 teams ahead of me were stacked at TE... so I was pretty sure I'd land him and I did. Hopefully my season-long TE deficit is over for good.

I used to have respect for Richardson based on him being the first NFL player to become an NFL owner. But he was really a piece of work too. Hmmm... I understand the concessions at Mercedes Benz are very inexpensive... that goes for the beer too? 😝 They aren't great... but they're very fast.

Actually I get the $1,000,000... I provided the link. 🤑 https://www.nfbpublishing.com/product-page/fan-stories-of-buffalo-and-the-bills

Yeah, Baker's missing almost all of his top weapons and is just playing hero ball... trying to make something happen. He would benefit by mixing in some deep breathing exercises. The guy's a great competitor but sometimes the adrenaline takes over.

"Hussie" is an old world term and it's not flattering. It could bring grief to the female members of his family. In 2023, the Lions drafted 2 "low-value positions" in the first round... running back (Gibbs) 12th overall and inside linebacker (Jack Campbell) 18th overall. Both picks have turned out well for them.

Babich was also picked over Eric Washington who besides being the D-line Coach, was also the Assistant Head Coach and was a DC in Carolina. We can't be sneaky good anymore. The best we can hope for is to be quietly improved.

Would you consider asking him not to attend the Panthers game... or any other Bills games for that matter... for the rest of his life? 😜

1) Alimony 2) Child support 3) Monogamy Oh yeah... and requiring bars to close at 4 am.

Seems like only yesterday... Maybe a GoFundMe campaign? 17 bucks each?

Seriously, they're still paying Watson and Sanders so both guys should be in play next year if Gabriel doesn't convince them. And while we're at it, @Roundybout please change title to "The Miami Dolphins have fallen apart." 😆
