My buddy is a big Tampa Bay fan. He said Frazier is the worst DC they've seen down there in a long time. He is surprised McDermott hired him and Leslie won't last more than 2 seasons. OK that being said, if Whaley provides good players I think most of these coaches will suddenly look a lot better, a lot smarter. We'll see.

McCoy rumored to be finalizing a deal w Denver. I saw on Twitter but can't copy and paste from my phone

Some fans in Baltimore hate this move. They see Roman as a guy whose system numbers are inflated because he has used running QB's. Flacco is obviously not that.

This sucks for San Diego but for the hard core Chargers fans...at least the 2 cities are only a two hour drive apart. I imagine their fan base in LA will still have plenty of San Diego fans making the drive.

You had the feeling that McDermott was going to be head coach for someone in 2017. You had the feeling Anthony Lynn will not be head coach for any team in 2017 unless it was Buffalo. I don't hate this hire. Seems like Buffalo went out and convinced a fairly hot commodity to sign up here. The easy thing to do would have been to hire Lynn and maintain that continuity. We all would have said.."they couldn't do better"?

I thought that as well. In a couple photos i said to myself, this guy looks like Richie Cunningham!

I have to admit, if the Bills rolled out Vance Joseph as their new Head coach I'd rip them to shreds. Since Elway and Denver hired him...Vance seems much more attractive as a head coach. Just goes to show how highly regarded Denver is as a top tier organization.

So if Elway wants Tyrod, and McCoy is being lured to Denver to be OC...that would lend to the theory that McCoy would be fine with Tyrod as well. So if McCoy stays linked with McDermott ...McCoy may be a Tyrod guy and wants to coach him.

Good to see the Carolina board is happy for McD and sad that he's leaving their organization. Seems like their fanbase all like and respect the guy.

Vic Carucci ‏@viccarucci 11s12 seconds ago More on #Bills-McDermott. Still working out details, but looks like he will accept.

Ha. Very true. I would trust Elway's judgement over anyone on this board.. Tyrod would be a plug n play QB for them. Instant playoffs withTT that D and home field advantage.

If the Bills let TT walk out that door with no better option...(and i mean a very good option).. I will be furious.

Interesting to listen to McDermott speak about D. Seems like a well spoken guy that is confident, I can see why he was a candidate for several teams..

Yes. Pegula's has also said in an article that the offense produced and insinuated that the other side of the ball was the problem. Even a novice football person would be inclined to keep the productive unit intact.

I don't know anything about McDermott. Is he a disciplinarian, tough guy? Will the offense regress if they hire a defensive guy? I still want my 25 pts per game on O

I just can't see any new coach coming here and saying "yeah I know we were #1 in rushing last year but let's blow that up, get a newbie inexperienced QB, and run a whole new offense".

If someone else hires Lynn, he will suddenly seem very attractive to Bills fans and lament the coach that got away.

Vic Carucci ‏@viccarucci 19m19 minutes ago #Bills in a holding pattern as their top HC candidates McDermott & Lynn interview elsewhere. 53-man roster control still negotiable.

Watson does not look like anything special against a good D like this.

Maybe. But Whaley needs to do his job and hit on some draft picks..,and sign some F/A's that will help reload the roster. Pegs is running a business here...it's a terrible business move to concede, blow it up and try to rebuild. He will lose ticket-buyers by the busload. He's seeing how hard it is with his hockey team to rebuild.

Then I'm ok with the Pegula's plan if true. It's foolish IMO to bottom out, "tank" or hit the reset button. Whatever you wanna call it?!? The team was 7-9 and is not THAT bad. Fix the D, get another receiver in here....the offense can very good. Draft another QB and develop Cardale but there's no reason this team has to start over on offense. With some tweaks they can make the playoffs in 2017. They aren't the Bears, Browns and 49ers....at least Pegula gets that.

Interesting...didn't Whaley object to the Rex hire initially but then went along with it? Thus leading to Pegula letting Whaley lead the search this time. Makes sense since in the Pegs interview he made it sound like he was happy with the offensive production but very disappointed in the D (hence Rex and Rob gone).

Maybe Tyrod could give Matt Moore a lesson in ball security. Just brutal by Moore. Zero pocket awareness and that pick he was just schooled by the LB dropping back

I wanna buy a Lincoln now

As much as I hate Landry, he was a great pick by Miami. He's like an Andre Reed type of WR. Always seems open in the slot, always catches everything, can get open deep occasionally, fairly durable even though he just got dinged.
