Belichick does not strike me as the kind of guy who will ever retire. Too competitive, and my sense is that he likes what he does too much. Can’t see him sitting around an old folks home cheating at Bingo. I think he also wants to prove to the world that he can win without Brady.
Anything might happen, but has Edmunds shown any ability as an edge rusher, even at Va Tech? If not, it’s hard to put much faith in his ability to do it consistently in the NFL.
So you’re saying we gave up a premium pick to move up in the draft to select a player who it turns out might or might not have an actual position he can play in the NFL?
Now you tell us! Pretty sure we traded up to draft our MLB of the future. Another trade up that’s not looking too good right now. I’m sensing a trend...
That about sums it up. Blind hope that a bunch of rookies and a few free agents, led by a Stone Age, play-not-to-lose coach will somehow become a 10 or 11-win team. It might happen, but there’s no reason to believe it will.
He’s really no better and not much worse than any Bills’ coach of the past 20 years—a complete non-entity, easily replaced, without any fear that “if only we’d given him another year...”. I have no doubt that we’ll waste another season finding out for sure what any sensible person already knows.
He will get another year, but he shouldn’t. After 2 years, there is no indication that he knows how to coach a team in the modern NFL. He will continue to hold this franchise back.
Get used to it. The Bills’ absolute ceiling with this coach is 9-7. He is completely overmatched against the better coaches in the league. The sooner he is gone, the better.
Shady looked like he was going through the motions. I did not see any other option on that side of the field. I think the back-shoulder pass was the call all along.
I don’t think we will ever see a Sean McDermott-coached team beat a Bill Belichick-coached team, no matter who is quarterbacking. It’s men vs boys, just like it’s always been for the past 18 years.
