If by that you mean that I attribute the lion's share of the issues that this team has to coaching/McD, I suppose that's correct. Most people wouldn't view it that way however. Particularly since most of the country and a good percentage of Bills fans see it the same way. Typically it's the ones that cannot let go of a previously formed position even after evidence that hinders that position enters the picture are the ones with the agenda. Either way, no need to argue, we are accomplishing nothing between you and I. Enjoy the season, here's hoping for a Championship this season!!

I guess we all see and interpret what we want to see and interpret. All I'm saying is that even if it happened, complaining about the complaining seems to be doing the same thing while getting those people all worked up. Let it roll off of you then. If it gets too heavy for you, abandon the thread. Getting all worked up isn't worth all that, right.

It's definitely an interesting development. It's pretty common knowledge that the team didn't put forth it's best efforts in multiple facets of the game. He's competitive and wants to win, not just regular season like some, but playoffs, and he too like Allen and most others wants a Championship. Since we don't have all the info it's difficult to really make a determination as to the reality of it all. Is he pissed at coaching miscues and other SNAFUs? Does he really want the ball more? That's a little difficult to imagine other than that he had double-digit targets 6 times in his first 9 games but only thrice in his last nine games. First 9 he averaged 11 targets/game, last 9 he averaged just over 8/game, but 9 & 10 in the two playoff games, included in that last 9. until we know it's difficult to pin it down. Always nice to have all the info first. I'm not holding my breath that we'll ever get it. LOL

BTW, I didn't think that there was all that much new in that video, certainly nothing earth-shattering, not all that much new besides some insights on their thought processes, but I didn't talk about it. I can if you'd feel more justified or vindicated. I kid I kid. Relax

But this wasn't one, why go out of your way to introduce it? Seems like a little bit of self-fulfilling prophecy if you ask me. Just sayin'. The saying Let Sleeping Dogs Lie comes to mind.

Look, I get it, we disagree, you have an agenda. Let's just leave it at that.

What, are we manufacturing "whining" now? Unless I missed something there doesn't appear to be much "whining" in this thread anyway. Seems to me people were having fun.

Who's complaining? Are we missing something? Seems like a thread so far full of jokers just having fun.

Maybe someone will arrange for Danny's to bring you some rolls and some delicious Orchard Park tap water. ... and an umbrella of course, until they complete the dome.

Perhaps this part of the plan;

Maybe "concepting" is part of "The Process." Maybe alongside concepting this evening, they're also going to have a slide presentation to let us know what "the Process" is too. I'm so excited!! Nothing like a good concepting!

Whatever it is we know that it's not football related, we were told so. Who knows, maybe Diggs got in on the tranny action, changed his gender, and it's just that time of the month.

Now that you mention it, I completely agree. LOL ... sort of. Will it have a dome? And honestly, what could that cost? Negligible. Perhaps right after our Super Bowl victory party.

I simply want to know when further pics are coming out. They're building the damn thing for the love of pete. They must know what they're building and be able to provide more detailed pics. ... or "renderings" if you will. LOL

Nice post! Thanks for taking the time to do all that. BTW, that ChatGPT is hilarious. How did you ask it to do it? ... in what style that is? Regarding your concluding statement above, and to add to it, it simply comes down to not underachieving. It's one thing when you go play a game, play your best, and either lose to a team that happened to be on fire or better than you, it's quite another to play worse than you did on average during the season on one or both sides. Going through our 9 playoff games under McD: 2017: D played well, O massively underachieved to season worst standard. 2019: Given the Texans' very average-at-best offensive and defensive rankings, both units underachieved albeit only marginally. 2020 Colts: PAR 2020 Ravens: D overachieved, O underachieved 2020 Chiefs: O underachieved marginally, D underachieved 2021 Pats: O overachieved, D PAR to marginally overachieved 2021 Chiefs: O overachieved, D underachieved 2022 Fins: O PAR to overachieved, D massively underachieved 2022 Bengals: O massively underachieved, D underachieved. When we consider that our defense was ranked 1st or 2nd in 2022, 2021, and 2019, and that our offense was ranked 2nd or 3rd in 2020 - 2022 that renders it even less impressive. At the end of the day, as you stated and implied otherwise, we've simply not gotten anywhere near the most from this team come playoff time in six seasons and 9 playoff games with the sole exception of the Pats' Wild-Card game. Most people would attribute that kind of sustained underachievement to coaching, not the talent on the team. The only ones that don't appear to be a subset of Bills fans.

Oh, I finally get it. McD & Co. have proven to be the ones to get us there. So clear now. BTW, there are quite a few coaches absent from your list. Not that it's a surprise that you didn't list them or anything. You McD apologists really need to come up with some new material. 😂

LOL One game, in a season whereby they collectively got their butts handed to them by an inferior team led by Gary Kubiak and one of the worst QBs in league history that season. That's exactly my point, they may look good on paper but when it comes to playing even to their averages in the biggest of games, much less above-average, not a one of 'em has any history with that besides one of underachievement. Call me nuts, but I don't see any significant future discussion of a "McDermott Coaching Tree" here. LOL

Well, we're what, a little over two months away from starting to find out. I'm incredibly concerned about the coaching staff this season. Not one of the top guys, McD himself, Dorsey Washington, Shula, or Holcomb have any significant accolades that spawn inspiration in that way other than that they've coached with or under McD.

He trusted Frasier, Dorsey, and everyone else we've had. He should be focused on hiring people that have a reputation for getting the most from the players that they coach. Simple question to you, do you believe that those coaches that I listed are the best options for doing that? Frankly, I don't care if he hires his grandmother if she can get the job done. I just question, based upon their credentials, whether or not they're capable of doing that.

Seriously? What, is this about rosters and coaching staffs? Reid's won Super Bowls and hasn't routinely collapsed in the playoffs. Conspiculously missing from your post is the results of those coaches. My point entirely is that this slew of coaching crap from Carolina, which hasn't proven a thing pretty much ever in its 27-year existence likely aren't the best options if McD really wants to get the most out of the roster that we have. Call me crazy. But comparing them to coaches that have, ... LOL ... really?

What's interesting is that it went from 17.4 before Miller's injury, to 17.4 after Miller's injury, discounting the Detroit game. Strangely, that increased by 11 points in the playoffs while allowing 31 to a team that started a QB that will be incredibly lucky to ever start another NFL game. Come on, you're not playing this properly. Clearly he was the best option out there. McD's an expert, we're not, and we can't understand things like what you just said. McD knows. At the end of the season if it doesn't work out, we'll find someone else that's clearly the best choice. Who else haven't we plugged-n-played that coached with McD in Carolina? Whomever that is, he's next in line as the best option.

Dorsey (top Offensive guy): Coached with McD in Carolina Washington (top Defensive guy after McD): Coached under McD in Carolina Al Holcomb (Senior D Asst.): Coached under McD in Carolina Mike Shula (Senior O Asst.): Coached with McD in Carolina All the top coaches. What are the odds that those were all the best choices to get their respective jobs done, particularly collectively. LOL Strangely, our playoff results aren't much different. Imagine that. No nepotism or anything going on here.

Why do we get the a$$-end? He was four seasons here, more than any other team, we should be up front with the head of the Buffalo.

Seems a bit of a reach, but this division is tougher than it's been in decades. Particularly with the looming news that Elliott and possibly Hopkins are headed to NE. I actually like that, think it builds character and helps teams come playoff time.
