Fournette, Gronk, Jensen, Suh please.

If true, it just makes it look like McDermott is running a JV operation. There’s 2 Special Teams coaches. One of them didn’t have the sense to make sure the kicker knew what the plan was?

Agreed. My #1 target would be Leftwich if he doesn’t get head coaching job.

yep. And this is why if the Bills offer Dorsey the OC position he’s staying. It’s all about the QB.

They are not letting Dorsey walk without getting somebody they think is better. Dorsey ain’t picking Daniel Jones over Josh. If Dorsey goes to Giants it’s because Bills weren’t offering him the OC job.

For an organization that isn’t a dumpster fire, this might be looked at as an outside-of-the-box intriguing hire. For the Texans, it just looks like nobody else wants the job.

I’m sure Metcalf will want a huge contract in a year. And it seems like a lot of rookie WR’s are ready to contribute Day 1. I’d rather draft a WR in 1st round and sign a premier edge rusher in free agency like Chandler Jones than trade for Metcalf.

1. Go get a Von Miller, Cam Jordan, Chandler Jones, or Khalil Mack. 1a. Draft a CB with speed. 3. Sign Fournette 4. Draft a WR in 1st 2 rounds 5. Keep this O-Line intact. Whatever they figured out at end of year, it was working 6. Draft Edmunds eventual replacement in 1st 3 rounds.

He turned out being a good draft pick, but when he was drafted, he was so far off the radar the only thing the guys on ESPN had on him was that he was the son of a doctor.

Did you know John Fina was the son of a doctor?

Smart to announce before Brady does.

Please no. Stay who you are Josh.

The cap is just an excuse not to spend money or go all in. KC goes all in. They’ll figure out way to make it work cap-wise.

Because it’s not true. He was clearly told at some point to kick it deep. Maybe that changed when Hill wasn’t back there and wasn’t communicated properly to him, but there’s no way Bass wasn’t told to kick deep at some point.

It’s hard coaching when there’s actually a level playing field. Unlike at an Ohio State where your basically guaranteed 10 wins a year.

Allen vs. Stafford.

That was effectively a 70 yard penalty. KC would’ve had ball around their 15 after their holding penalty. Got the ball on our 15 after Hill return.

I think we would’ve been the 7 point favorites over Cincy at home like KC. Then 7 point favorites over SF or 3 point favorites over Rams. There’s never an easy road to a Super Bowl, but we would’ve been the favorites to win it all among the 4 teams no doubt.

Serious question… have you ever played a competitive sport? If you have you would know trust is everything. Now imagine all the blood, sweat, and tears these guys put in all year to get to the mountaintop. Now replay those 13 seconds in your head over and over and over again. Sorry, you play to win the game. Relationships only go so far if you think coaching is why you ain’t still playing.

Not against Mahomes and that offense. Somebody posted that the only kicks returned for TD’s were brought out of the end zone or goal line. The short high kick to the 10-15 was the right call. If Hill was back there, I could live with them kicking it out of end zone. He inexplicably wasn’t. That’s the difference between good situational coaches and scared ones.

On a side note, how does Reid not put Hill back there to return that kick? I think that threw everything off. You expect Hill so you’re gonna kick it deep through end zone. He’s inexplicably not back there, so you change it last second and the word doesn’t get to Bass. And you don’t take timeout because then Reid will smarten up and put Hill back there.

My theory is that the plan was to kick a touchback if Hill was back there or short if he wasn’t. And the communication to Bass got screwed up in the chaos.

Agreed. This is absurd. This is like Allen going under center without a play being called. Bass was definitely told something. More believable thing would be decision was changed after Bass was told to kick it long and the message didn’t get to Bass. There’s no way Bass was told nothing.

Most sane Bills fans like McDermott, but this was a Norwood level choke job by the coaches. I think we’re all still in shock by what happened in those 13 seconds. You don’t know if you’re ever gonna get that opportunity again. If I were a betting man, I’d say McDermott like Norwood gets 1 more year, but if he doesn’t make the Super Bowl he’s gone.

I’ll say this. I like McDermott but I have serious doubts about the guy in big moments. I’ll never forget the Pittsburgh game in 2019. The end of that game when Hodges had a couple throws in back of end zone… the camera kept going to mcdermott after each play. He looked like he was about to wet his pants and was pointing to the sky after every incompletion. You gotta be clear headed and calm in the big moments so you can make the right call. Josh seems to have put the Sugar Rush memes to bed. Maybe McDermott has some of that to overcome too.
