The biggest failure was sending the pick KC used to draft Patrick Mahomes to them in 2017. If Mahomes isn't with the Chiefs, the Bills & Allen have at least 1 Super Bowl Championship.

Screw reality television. Just give us Daboll or Chuckie losing it on the sidelines in game conditions. 😁
We once had Carl Mauck for that but never promoted him to HC.

Jim Kelly throwing it out of the endzone & into the stands vs Miami deep in Miami's territory & called for intentional grounding. Gets picked on the next play.
The Winston intentional grounding today was pretty bad. Winston misses his receivers & they add insult to injury by calling IG on him.

For all the critics, who are you hiring to get over the top? Specifically a name. When approached, no one ever seems to have the answer.
Rich Kotite wants one more chance at redemption.
Matt Patricia would love to get another chance.
Ray Handley is tired of retirement, doing nothing but sitting around his living room watching football on TV.
Kay Stephenson has a lot more experience than his 1st coaching stint with the Bills.
Hue Jackson wants just one more chance.

He should've been gone years ago... The Reid's and McVay's of the league always outcoach him when it counts. He'll lose again, unless Allen somehow puts the entire team on his shoulders and produces a miracle...
Absolute tragedy, since we could have an offensive genius at the helm.
The Reids & McVays will outcoach just about any other coach in the league. You just don't pick up the phone & get a HOF coach. KC got extremely lucky that Reid was available after Philly fired him.

Uh what
Bruce Arians won in Tampa after being fired by the Cardinals
Andy Reid had quite a long career in Philly before he won in KC.
I'll clarify it for you because I guess I wasn't clear enough: By another I meant they did it before. No coach who won a Super Bowl has ever gone to ANOTHER team and won ANOTHER Super Bowl. There has never been a coach in NFL history who has won Super Bowls with 2 or more franchises. Neither Arians nor Reid had won a Lombardi in their previous coaching stints. Coaches have gone to Super Bowls with more than 1 team, but they never won with any other team than the one they won it all with. Some before like Parcells, who lost with NE after winning with the Giants, and some like Reid who lost the Super Bowl with his 1st team & won it with his 2nd.

Who do you think would be better than McDermott? Remember 2 things: 1) McDermott is the only coach with no prior NFL(AFL) coaching experience who has ever been successful in Buffalo. 2)No coach has ever won another Super Bowl with a different team.
So unless you can come up with a candidate who has HC experience who has never won a Super Bowl, you're likely getting a guy who is a downgrade from McDermott. Just about anyone you come up with is a crap-shoot.
I prefer to stick with McDermott as long as he has the locker room. The only way I would fire him would be if he lost the players, something that has not happened yet.
You fire McDermott, you might just end up with someone like this guy:

Is he from Cheektowaga?
No, but he's from Charlotte,NC. Punted at a Charlotte high school. That should be close enough to provide his Carolina ties for the Bills to justify signing him.

I have family in the Bay area, so if I'm physically able, I'm going. I went to the last Super Bowl at Levi's when Denver beat Carolina.

I was in my car listening to One Bills Live and Maddy (not trying to start another thread bashing her, btw) and Chris Brown were talking about how Keon had another bad day dropping passes. They were reassuring the fanbase that it was early in camp and he had plenty of time to fix the issue.
Then I read through this thread and it would appear that he had a number of nice catches and just one bad drop. Which take is more accurate?
According to some posters that means Brown & Glab hate Coleman.

Your best comparisons are Peterman and Brohm?
Shirley you can’t be serious.
Those were the best examples of people asking why I hated someone I didn't hate. I observed the actions of the rest of the GMs who let Brohm go by & was flamed because people like you said "I saw him play in college".
I can't come up with others because I haven't observed many cases where the actions of NFL professionals have indicated they don't think much of a player and it applied to someone on the Buffalo Bills. After Arizona dumped Rosen after 1 year I drew the same conclusion, but his main supporter was on a different board, so you probably didn't see the flaming then.
The reaction that I hate a player because I see a problem that the player has with management that draws an overreaction that I don't like the guy is way over the top. The times I notice this aren't often, but every time I do, people go way over the top & say I don't like the guy. Nothing could be further than the truth. I can't think of any Bills player I've ever disliked when he was on the team.
Coleman may make the team, but his future in Buffalo is on very thin ice. There are just too many WRs on the roster better than him: Shakir, Palmer, Moore & Samuel. That puts him as WR #5 IMO. If a rookie WR shines in preseason, Coleman will have trouble making the team. There are just too many receiving options including the RBs & TEs that it will be very difficult for Coleman to get targets & be much of a factor in this offense. If there's a player who opens eyes as a 5th receiver who looks better than Coleman in August, Beane will cut his losses & take a draft choice for Coleman. I'm sure there are other teams where Coleman wouldn't be the 5th best WR, but in Buffalo, he currently is, no matter what preseason depth chart you might find on the internet.

Which is, in effect, cutting. Coleman is on a second round rookie deal. It's not like Beane would be trying to pawn off an aging free agent signing. Even if you got a trade the salary cap gains are practically wiped out by the guy you're replacing him on the roster for, based on Coleman having a 'meh' rookie season
Did he bang your girl? Because even if you aren't a fan of Coleman's game having a cost controlled body who has an outside shot of developing is going to be a lot more appealing for a GM than taking a stroll through a retirement home so I can only guess this is a deep personal grudge
I have nothing against Coleman. I'm just observing the roster.
Were you one of the guys who asked me the same question when I warned against Nathan Peterman & Brian Brohm? Every time I make a roster observation the dreamers think I hate the guy, when I just see there's no path for him. I hope he proves me wrong, but he's already buried deep on the depth chart which usually indicates one foot out the door.

I highly, highly, highly doubt that Beane is cutting a 33rd overall pick after one season where the guy got 500+ yards and 4 TDs
If you want to say that Beane saw a need, ok. It's ok to be frustrated that Keon isn't an overnight success. But this is just silly
Trading for a low round pick, not cutting.

I want to remind people that for a while it was conventional wisdom in the league to give WRs three years to determine whether they would work out, but after you got a rash of rookie wonders patience has begun to run out.
Of course, this trend has already happened with QBs. Luck, RGIII, Wilson and Kaepernick all seemed to explode onto the league at the same time and that became the expectation.
Fast forward and you are seeing a multiple high round QB "busts" taking starting roles for other teams. Ask the Browns if they would take a straight up QB trade with the Bucs right now.
I'm not promising Coleman success but sweet mercy I think we are rushing to conclusions
The fact that Beane signed 3 veteran WRs in the offseason may be indicative that he's seen enough of Coleman that he's not sold on the guy. There's rushing to conclusions and there's also observing the actions of a team's management-two totally different things where it may look like the same conclusion.
The Bills are going to keep the top 5 or 6 WRs, and unfortunately for Coleman, he may not be one of them.

It's who Keon is. He is a non-separator and he isn't a good enough contested catch guy to get away with it.
Considering Keon could easily be 5th on the depth chart, I think there's a good chance he doesn't make the team. Probably goes for a 5th or 6th by late August, early September. All it will take is a rookie or new WR who can return kicks showing more than him in preseason.

The guy was trash at Michigan. I swear he never punted for over 40 yards on any kick. (I am an alum and watch all their games) I was shocked when he was drafted by the Bengals. And just as perplexed when he was signed by the Bills. When I was in school there in the Mid 80's we had a punter by the name of Monty Robbins. Guy was great. I wonder if he was Brad Robbins father. LOL But seriously Brad Robbins has no leg. You want a kicker with a strong leg, get a Michigan kicker. We have had a lot of good ones over the years. Our kicker last year, who fortunately is coming back, last name Zvada is tremendous. As far as punters go, we haven't had a real good one probably since Brad's namesake Monty who punted in mid 80's in the Harbaugh era. Go Blue. And Go Bills!!
If Robbins is as bad as you say, chances are we'll be picking up a guy who gets cut in September by another team like we did with Martin a few years ago.

I disagree. Trubisky is a joke.
Brown doesn't even rise to the joke category. He was benched in the UFL after 3 games & never played in another game.

Trubisky had a couple good games in 2018. He is terrible and would have trouble starting on a lot of top 25 college teams at this point. He can’t throw an accurate pass more than 10 yards down the field.
The Bills should have drafted Joe Milton a couple years ago. The guy at least has some talent.
I agree Mike White is nothing special either. The Bills should have kept Anthony Brown last season. Has more talent than any of the backups. I guess McDermott likes to keep the QB room very snowy if you catch my drift.
The #1 job of the backup QB is to be Josh Allen's close friend. So the best way to see who will be the backup is look who went to Josh's wedding. I saw photos of Trubisky & Buechele, but no Mike White. So my guess is the only QB who can beat out Trubisky is Buechele.
Your drift is total BS. Brown couldn't even complete 50% in the UFL this year. He played in only 3 games, sucked & got benched. Brown is much worse than any QB on the Bills roster.

he did not get a higher percentage of guaranteed money than Keon Coleman did last year
Keon Coleman got 96% of his contract guaranteed he got 95%
100% is unheard of and what was making this go slow in the second round.. some do get 70 80 even 90 Plus guaranteed
Guaranteeing 95% vs 100% is getting into the ridiculous mode. So, you're paying a guy $10 million, and you're guaranteeing $9.5 million for 4 years. The difference is $125,000 a year-chicken feed to NFL teams.
What's going to happen is the teams that care about getting their rookies in camp on time will figure out the nit-picking isn't worth it, while teams like the Bengals will let their rookies come in late over a few $ of guaranteed $. Or the players will realize 95% is close enough & get themselves signed.
If the teams don't want to guarantee the contracts of 2nd rounders, trade out of the 2nd round, or have enough confidence in the players you are drafting.

I don't think that I would hold up the Arizona FO and coaching staff or the pre-McDermott/Beane Bills FO and coaches as organizations to copy. In fact, doing just opposite -- giving draft picks, especially high draft picks, time to develop -- is a hallmark of good organizations.
They had horrible scouts & it didn't take the coaching staffs long to figure they had drafted a QB bust. You can't develop a guy who sucks, and it's usually the coaching staff that sees the guy more than anyone else, practicing all week, that realizes the guy has nothing long before the fans who see him once a week, at best, do. Even the worst coaches know a player who has nothing.

You made my point. I was never down on Josh. I saw the same flashes. But, onto your memory, do you remember these forums that year, calling him "Wrong Josh" and a bust?
The point to my reply was that a year is nowhere near enough time to fully evaluate a draft pick.
It may not be enough for fans, but often it is enough for the team's management who see the guy in practice every day. Arizona couldn't wait to dump Josh Rosen after his rookie year. I'm guessing the thing that got Kingsbury the HC job was he wanted to install an offense that wasn't suited to Josh Rosen (although it turned out no NFL offense was). Marrone was basically done with EJ after his rookie year & quit as soon as Orton did instead of coaching EJ another season.

It was OC Turk Schonert who got fired before the start of the 2009 season. April was ST coach & assistant head coach and stayed that season. Ironically, KC did the same thing with Chan Gailey that year and after getting fired by KC, ended up rebounding into the Bills HC job in 2010.
