So if the Bills lose is the game rigged?
When they call the inevitable defense PI, then yes. -

But he's not getting fired. The owner loves him and he has had enough success here W/L wise, and will continue to as long as Allen is here.
And he will never live this down. It's been 20+ years, but a lot of people still have raw emotions about 9/11. This is the only team that actually plays in NY State, and I would expect a less than warm welcome for Sean the next time the Bills play at Met Life.
I do expect the team to make the playoffs, which will of course be used as a reason to keep McDermott. Eventually the issues with Diggs only end one way: him off the team. Then we have to fill the WR spot in rounds 5-7, because we'll draft a DB or LB in rounds 1-3 who McDermott won't play next season because he's not a veteran player.
Rinse and repeat.
May be a little conspiracy-ish, but I have to wonder if this was an intentional leak by someone higher up in the FO. Why is this coming out now? It happened almost 4 years ago. We have an owner that can’t really fire him for having a down year, despite multiple on-field meltdowns. But now we have this. And we will always have this.24 minutes ago, TheFunPolice said: -

The reason I think this is 100% wrong is that I'm very confident that Pegula is not stupid and is fully aware of the impact of the coaching change in Indy. They brought in an offensive minded guy with a proven track record and he has the Colts ahead of the Bills for a playoff berth with a backup QB. I have to believe that McD must get the Bills into the playoffs to keep his job.
I’m not convinced of this report either. There’s a zero chance of him being fired, until he does. That’s the way these usually work. They give a vote of confidence and the next week, they’re fired. Pegulas has even done this with the Sabres. Botterill I think. If they lose 2 of the following games, which is highly likely, then I bet McDs job is in jeopardy. Maybe not fired, but there will be discussions. No longer a zero percent.-

The Texans have a better record than we do. Let that sink in.

It's something about the way we develop players (we tend to be slow in getting some rookies involved) - but one thing that is clear to me is that Beane's picks sometimes need time. Epenesa is a great example. Oliver was sort of underachieving until this past year I think most here had written Bernard off.
Which is why I'm not so quick to write off 22-year-old Elam. I think he probably was hampered by injury a bit this year, and it wouldn't surprise me to see him start for us next year.
Agreed on Torrence - he has made some mistakes recently, but it's easy to see that he's a good lineman and was a good pick for us.
All of Beane’s top 3 round picks are need based. I can’t think of one that wasn’t. AJE was need, Torrence was need, Elam was need, and Kincaid was need. This is fine, because a rookie can make an immediate impact in the NFL. It’s only bad when the need outweighs the quality, like Elam.-

I’m not at all worried about cutting some of our higher paid players, especially if they are over 30. We’re not getting results with them, so am sure cutting them wouldn’t automatically put us below 0.500. The roster needs to retool with hungry players wanting their next contract to be a big one, not ones who have already been paid. All I see is players going through the motions.

We cannot blame Beane for Miller getting hurt but Benne did not do enough background checks on Miller because there were reports of cocaine use by his former girlfriend and another baby mama.
This was not a good signing based on noise of that and his age at the time of signing. The Raven got LB Roquan Smith for a second and 5th rounder, signed him for less money and he was 25 at the time of trade. That makes sense for both present and future, I never liked the idea of giving a guy 33 years old so much guaranteed money
Signing high profile players in FA rarely make an impact commensurate to their contract, especially if over 30. Anyone who follows the nfl knows this. Beane should be ashamed.-

Yep - you can pursue bonus money paid out or whatever... but you aren't really going to get cap space back.
Likely ends up on exempt list - gets cut post June release. We end up with
2024 dead - 17M
2025 dead - 15.4M
2024 cap savings - 6.79M

I want Josh to run early and run often. I want him to put at least 100 yards on those MFers

Special teams awards shouldn’t count on equal par to offense and defense.
Correct. I saw Matt Prater’s name and I was like:

Why don’t they use their punter? He seemed to throw a decent ball.

Bust of a FA pick up. I don’t remember when a FA of his caliber lived up to his signing. I thought Beane was smarter than this. Would be great to offload this contract somehow.

Bills have enough problems. LT is the least of our worries. Evidently our QB needs psycho analyses to make him "happy" again. When Belichick gets fired at years end, the Bills should scoop him up.. Then we will actually get our long awaited championship. Bill will hit Josh upside his head and tell him to man-up.. McClappy has run his course.
Nah. Brady leaving NE and being incredibly successful exposed Belicheck. Bill has been 26-30 since Marcia left.-

Yea. Jordan Addison is pretty darn good. That helps.
Using multiple 1st round picks on WRs…imagine that.-

You don't think this is a weird thing to say as a head coach in reference to your QB?
...McDermott on why he think that's dissipated with Allen over the last few weeks: "Yeah, I have my own thoughts, but I won’t go there right now. '
That is a legitimately bizarre thing to say in a press conference.
I’ve heard it repeatedly at high levels that McD has been reading TBD and agrees with the girlfriend theory. -

You do understand that fron the sideline it is difficult (if not impossible) to count all your down linemen. At the very least someone upstairs should have alerted McD to the 12 men.
Ok, ok. Let’s suppose the 12th man was recognized and he got off the field. Did the Bills really play good enough to win this game against the 3-5 Broncos? -

You do understand that the responsibility for the field goal team is likely on the special teams coach?
It is likely that the late DB injurie messup up the field goal team D.
The D played well enough to win tonight. Who coaches the D?
What part of “Head” don’t you understand? He’s responsible for all facets of the game. Otherwise there wouldn’t be a Head Coach, they’d just be OC, DC, and ST coordinator.-

Bills cornerback Kaiir Elam says he tore ankle ligament in preseason and tried to play through it
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
This still doesn’t make sense. If he has an injury that is severely limiting his ability to effective play or play at the level he is expected to, then you declare the injury and place him on IR. He comes back when he’s medically cleared and able to play. None of this double-speak by McD about playing the players who give them the best chance to win. None of the constant questions by reporters. What did they expect? We have a 1st rounder who showed much promise last year to then fall off a cliff his 2nd year and were only hearing about this now??
