Donuts and Doritos

Article makes very fair points. But as it concedes, McDermott seems to learn from past mistakes, like we all do. It's how players like Josh improved, coaches are no different. Did the coaching screw this one up? Yes. Will McDermott learn from it? Won't know until next year. Changing horses at coach means starting over in team philosophy that could set us back a year or 2, & doesn't guarantee success, see Dallas, Chargers (now & w/ Phillip Rivers), Cleveland, Green Bay, Atlanta. Only time I can think where changing coaches actually worked was Dungy to the Colts (Gruden to Tampa was overrated IMO). Stable franchises don't change coaches like people change clothes. We did that for 17 seasons. McDermott needs to learn & get better at 13 seconds. Odds are he'll have 2 new coordinators to help him do it, and hopefully that is change enough. Go Bills!

Might be a good idea to invest more in CB position than 1 first round pick, a 7th rounder & an undrafted, if we want to beat KC. Also, Daboll's running it instead of letting our best player play & throw really hurt us in the 2nd & 3rd quarter. We ended up punting it back and wearing the D down. If he had gone to the pass sooner, they may have played with a lead and won. Too conservative IMO.

Text from a friend: "For decades a small market team from one of the fastest shrinking areas of the country has excelled at disappointment. Though it is the only team in one of the most prominent states in the Union, like the area it embodies, this team is overlooked as the "other team" from the "other NY", Upstate NY. This team is a reflection of it's fans, poorer in success, but rich in heart, grit and an unparalleled pig headed determination. The unkind decades have relegated past glories to unimaginable fairy tales and scattered many to distant lands. Yet we proud few remain year after year to beat our heads against the wall of doubt, in hopes that this year, yes this year, might be the year we break through the doorway of success. To be there for the glory of that moment, we return again and again to cheer on a little unheralded team from a forgotten place we call home. So against all odds, weather conditions and any rational thought there is no place that we happy few would rather be than "right here, right now", where we still Bill-ieve!"

Yes!!! Now let's go Buffalo!!! Get them coming to Orchard Park!
