I'm fine with Rapp going out and Hancock getting more time. Been waiting for that since the draft. Not sure how I missed the Shaq Thompson news before today. Huge loss. Maybe insurmountable.

He's not even good at schemes since they made his pre-snap motion gimmick illegal in 2024. Trade whatver picks it takes to get Waddle I'd be surprised if he took that job given the political mess they are in. The folks currently making decisions for LSU just opened their robe to the world and showed what a mess any new HC will be walking into. The Gov & Board were supposed to be in the process of hiring a new school President. Instead, they've fired the HC and AD. And now have to hire all 3 major positions. It's a disaster in LA.

It's starting

I know for a fact myself and others do it. Maybe youre just paying too much attention to the wrong posters. Go Bills

I think a lot of you make a lot of this "hatred" up so you feel better. When folks critique McD there is almost never any "hatred". Most critiques are prefaced with what a great guy he is, what a great job he's done on culture and his ability to pull teams out of the basement. And then even with all that disclaiming and qualifying, pointing out any of his glaring flaws gets these over-emotional replies like we're trying to get the guy killed. I think there is obvious reasons McD apologists turn every critique into a discussion about the posters instead of addressing the actual issues with McD. The assumptions of complaints about a Super Bowl victory is one of the most egregious strawmen I've seen on this board.

Wrong again with this stuff. I'm about done with McD. He's had 9 years to show us exactly who he is, and I believe him. That said, if he wins a SB this year, put up his statue outside the new stadium next year and give him a lifetime contract. I dont care if we go 3-14 the next 3 years. A single championship means so much to this team, city, and fanbase. (Although, yes, I'd probably say Josh won in spite of him, but that's exactly what reality and all evidence has shown so far)

It wasnt just the Dolphins losing, but HOW they managed to botch every single aspect of every play, that made last night so entertaining. The play calls sucked, then the execution sucked in glorious fashion. And when they did pull off a decent play, there was some dumb penalty to negate it. The deep ball to Waddle called back because the RB slipped and fell and took a penalty, hilarious. The 4th down fade to no one, hilarious. The hail mary at the end of half that didnt even get thrown and ended in Tua turtling for a sack, hilarious. I needed this levity before going into this weekend not knowing which version of the Bills we're going to get on Sunday or if the team will even show up. Stephen Ross loves tanking. He'll ride this into the ground this year so his new GM/HC combo gets decent picks next year. Considering they are in WORSE cap situation than us, they're going to need every pick they can get.

Happy Birthday and thanks for the Stromboli!

Bannable thread offense. GTFO of here with this garbage.

The school also doesnt have a President right now, which is why the Governor and Board are so involved. So now these guys need to hire a President, Athletic Director, and Head Coach. Chances they get it all right?

Yo, this ***** is getting WILD with the Governor and his smack talking and now this But I cant comment further without pushing this thread towards PPP LOL

Hitting the market as a UFA in 2026, $15M would have been his bottom floor.

Nah, I've lived it recently down here in Atlanta with UGA Football. The first Natty was such a pressure relief valve, it made the next season so easy. No one was on edge to go back to back, even though it was nice and welcomed. By the time anyone was talking about trheepeat, no one really cared anymore, or were just too exhausted to care. And even now a few years later, with the ups and downs, theyre still coasting on fumes of contentment from those championships. Your comparison is way off. Dallas, Yankees, and Lakers fans got too used to winning championships over and over. They are miserable because championships are expected. For fans of teams who have been trying for decades to just win one, one victory is all it takes. But thanks for trying to personally analyze me when we've never even posted together, let alone met in real life. Maybe just speak for yourself from now on.

Nah

Cody Ford and Boogie Basham still exist. Even at his current disappointing level, we've at least gotten a couple of TDs out of Keon. More than we ever got out of those other 2. And I'd argue we passed up on much better players with those other 2.

Bro, Bills win 1 Super Bowl and I may never watch football again. The mountain will be topped. Build McD a statue for all I care. Go 4-13 the next 3 years for all I care. I can finally go back and watch 4 Falls of Buffalo, watch highlights from the 13 seconds game... A SB win puts closure on 40 years of fandom for me.

Chiefs 27 Bills 20 No idea what version of the Bills we'll get but I hope they prove my prediction wrong.

I think that's such a grey, subjective area that just the threat of being publicly called out on morality clauses and the damage it could do to finding his next job is enough to get almost anyone to agree to taking a lesser amount. With all the stories pouring out about what a jerk he was/is on a daily basis, it's probably all those little paper cuts. LSU could make any of those into a big deal and drag it out in the media to get out of paying, or Kelly could just take $27M (still a good amount of money) and walk away clean. Or theres a big bombshell waiting to drop that we'll find out in time. Wouldnt put it past Kelly, but I think if there was anything really real there, they'd use it to get out of the contract completely. And it's not like he has so many friends that theyd protect him from the story already getting out. But who knows.

You definitely do. Kid is a freak. Should have been the #1 pick but the Jags Jagged it up.

Serious question, did you mistake this for the Sabres board? Because yes, he's a bit meddling over there, but when it comes to the Bills he pretty much just signs the checks when asked.

Oh, for sure. Where we've inked big contracts to the likes of Rousseau, Benford, Bernard, Shakir, Spencer Brown, and James Cook... The Lions have: Aidan Hutchinson: Signed through 2030 Penei Sewell: Signed through 2029 Jameson Williams: Signed through 2029 Kerby Joseph: Signed through 2029 Amon-Ra St. Brown: Signed through 2028 Alim McNeill: Signed through 2028 And their pipeline of upcoming Gibbs, LaPorta, Jack Campbell, Terrion Arnold, Brian Branch is better than who we have coming due. But I'll also add there are a few years of them picking in the top 10, one year at #2 overall. We've only been in the top 10 once, in 2019, picking 9th. And have been in the late-20s/30s ever since. Bills Lions 2019 9th 8th 2020 22nd 3rd 2021 30th 7th 2022 25th 2nd 2023 25th 12th They've had access to a completely different class of players than the Bills could ever sniff in the draft.

Haha, yeah, I saw a Lions fan comment "Those idiots missed out on a full year's worth of clicks and headlines! -Jerry Jones"

They're basically just a year behind us. They're in the exact same situation as us next year.

Looking at 2026, the Lions are all the way down at 27th in cap space. Right above the Bills at 28. Except our 2026 number has 46 active players, and theirs is across only 38 active players. So they're about to be in the ***** as well.

Lower total than Parsons, higher guaranteed. And allows Hutchinson to hit FA again at 29, before he turns 30. Good deal for the team, good deal for the player. It's an extension and doesnt even start until the 2027 season, which by then will look cheap. Take notes, Jerry!
