Today we settle all family business...

Does this mean I can stop standing at attention anytime anyone mentions the University of Alabama's Robert Foster?  At least let me stop playing the recording of the Alabama fight song.

Premature as we travel to KC and one man stands in our way?

 

From the looks of that woozy attempt to get up after he got knocked around, and the turf-toe limp, one man may be wobbling in our way!

If we are lucky, we get to whack Mahomes this week and Brady in the SB. That would really exorcise our demons!

I believe the time is now to put to rest some of the more prominent “truths” that have been spoken, here and elsewhere, regarding the McDermott and Beane Bills.  Feel free to add to the list as you see fit.

 

• It was a colossal mistake not to draft Mahomes in 2017 that will forever haunt the franchise and McD’s legacy
• McD is a defensive coach who wants to win games 17-13 and doesn’t understand offense
• Beane doesn’t know how to evaluate offensive talent
• Anyone can see Josh Allen won’t be a successful NFL QB because of his college stats
• AcCuRacY for a QB can’t be improved
• McD is Belichick’s b-i-t-c-h
• McD can’t beat good teams
• McD can’t win in the playoffs
• ”The Process” is b.s. and culture doesn’t matter in the NFL
• McD is a terrible game day coach
• Diggs is a diva and Beane gave up too much

 

Time to unite as Bills Mafia behind this amazing team and organization, and recognize that many/most “hot takes” are just that.

 

Cheers and GO BILLS!!!

 

Daboll sucks, we can't score in the 3rd QTR.

Their Point Differential was -4

• McDermott is a conservative football coach - He is like Jauron
• Beane made a huge mistake trading away Dareus and Watkins 
• Beane has no plan or is incapable of bringing in good WR's and weapons for Josh Allen

 

Fire Dabol he's a terrible play caller way to conservative .

Is this similar to what someone says just before a snitch or a turncoat gets whacked in a crime drama? 🤔

You broke my heart Fredo, you broke my heart.

Why the hell is Corey Bojorquez still on this team!? He will lose games for us.

But

 

Losman was better then Edwards

 

To think we had 20 years of this type of debate. Only resolved by agreeing that the punter was one of the best players on our roster.

Will agree with all others, but year 1-3 there was no if's and or buts that he wanted to win games 17-13 and they were terrible on offense 30,29 & 24th.  I've also praised him for figuring it out this year.

 

The Process is Bull....  Good coaching, ethic and management.  

 

I'm a Toronto Raptors fan....  Thankfully I never had to hear the word Process.  Drives me crazy.

 

 

Good coaching, ethics, and management is the process... so you must be in the crazy house most of the time... 😂

 

Go Bills!!!

Edit:  forgot a big one:

 

• Daboll is a terrible OC

 

A common thread among these frequently uttered takes is the notion that players/coaches/GMs "are who they are" and are therefore incapable of growth, learning, and development.  It's a fatally flawed and pessimistic way of looking at humanity.

I'm still stuck on "it was a colossal mistake to trade up and draft TJ Graham while Russ Wilson was still on the board"

 

That, and we should never have traded Darryl Lamonica

 

Don't jinx us with your #1 "truth" that's all I'll say.

Yes, but you still need to say "Roll Tide!"

Sure tell me how year's 1-3 we saw anything that said MCD was concerned about the offense.

And yes I found the word Process a Bills created mantra.  I have applauded the Management, coaching and GM.  

There were stumbles, but yes we're all excited.

year one was with tyrod, and years 2 and 3 were with a very young, very raw josh allen.  what you think changed from this year from the last 3 years?

 

and for a grown man, you just can't handle hearing certain things.  buck up big guy.

Great response.  Sometimes people disagree.... 

 

BTW Tyrod was the QB in 2016 and the Bills Offense was 16th in the league & 30th the next year.

 

McD then started Peterman vs. SD in 2017 & then doubled down on him in 2018.  That tells me all I need to know. Case closed....

eball, you hit the nail on the head👍
 

There have been many dozens of knee jerk hot takes about the HC & GM, those threads and posts have made their authors look more than silly repeatedly.  As we have all certainly seen, the majority of that cohort has faded away as they very likely feel the embarrassment they have brought upon themselves. 
 

Go Bills!!!

I truly don’t think many are embarrassed or willing to grow and change how they view these things. The knee-jerking will continue. Ugh.

and what exactly does this tell you?

 

you insist that the offense was low scoring those years because the coaching staff wanted it to be that way.  isn't it far more logical to think the circumstances dictated that vs want?  so...what changed from last year to this year?  did mcd suddenly wake up wanting to score more points?  

 

the bills offense was 16th due to rushing if anything.  you wanted a passing offense, and mcd gave it to you.

Who is left from the 2015 Panthers defense we haven't signed? Oh look Kawann Short is about to be a free agent...... bet Beano is clearing cap space as we speak.

This is the thing right here.  They identify players who they believe will take ownership in making themselves better.  Ones that have the drive to do so (which is definitely not all of them ... Dareus?  Mike Williams? ) and they provide them with the tools and training to facilitate that.  Players come here and get better, consistently.  We are getting high value out of late round picks, consistently.  This is a sustainable track.  We are set up for a great, long term run here.  Buckle up folks.
