The only part I winced at is "Proud, Christian, determined man."  

 

Like his religious beliefs have anything to do with anything.  If he were Buddhist, would it have been mentioned?  

I don’t know, maybe, we’re in the middle of a month where we’re forced to celebrate the sexual identity of certain groups. 

 

If McDermott were a member of the LGBTQ community, I guarantee that would be highlighted. 
 

Come to think of it, exposes’ of public figures do often reference their spiritual beliefs .. in this country it’s typically Christian/Catholic or Jewish. 
 

I wouldn’t have an issue with the Jets extending Saleh and, as part of their description, saying “Proud, Muslim..”.  It’s a big part of who he is.  We were told about that quite frequently when he was hired.

Josh will be 31 by the end of this deal.  I don't feel I need to elaborate on what needs to happen between now and then.  

The Buffalo Jills need to be brought back?

So turning a franchise of lovable losers into true SB contenders for three years straight and counting is worth more than the opinions of fans on TBD? 
 

Blasphemy. 

 

Some coaches could have made them Super Bowl Champions instead of Super Bowl contenders.  

 

Some/most (never say never/all) good coaches wouldn't have committed that "13-Seconds" debacle and we'd likely have had our Super Bowl win already.   

 

Just sayin.

Interesting timing for this.  They were already signed through 2025.

Pegula takes action to change the narrative around the team and reinforce foundation / culture / stability

That is just so they can trade them, right?

This was the first thing I was thinking also.

 

What better way to get people to stop making claims about rifts between the players and coaches than extending them.

 

I have no problem with the extension because they have done well enough to deserve it and it doesn't mean that thinks can't change later on.

 

This season is going to be incredibly interesting, more so than most, on the field as well as here.  LOL

The piece that disgruntled fans here seem to lack awareness of is exactly how hard both Beane & McDermott work to get better at their professions.

They are open to new ideas, trying new things, and actively focusing on improving their own deficiencies in the off-season

 

This isn't guys like Jeff Fisher, or Marty Schottenheimer, or Marvin Lewis, or Mike McCarthy who might have had some early success and mostly fiddly-farted their way through the last 2/3 of their careers - fans and pundits KNOWING that these guys weren't going to get any better or ever sniff a SB

 

My point is that both guys, and especially McDermott are putting in the hard work and effort to keep the stability that they've built the last 6 seasons while making the changes and enhancements that are needed to improve and keep giving us shots at a ring.  

 

Each and every frigging year

This is one of the dumbest posts ever. Please know so I dont get banned im not calling the poster dumb. Im just saying this post is stupid.  

You have no idea how hard any of those coaches worked. You have no idea how hard McDermott works. So if McD is already working harder than those listed why has he had less success than some of them. Marty made multiple AFC Championship games. Fisher made a SuperBowl.  

Did Andy Reid work les hard in Philadelphia than he does now? Did Belichick work less hard in Cleveland?

Ridiculous 

[SCBills]

I never really thought Pegula would have much of an appetite for a huge change in the organization, given what he’s going through.

 

Thats not a knock on him.  He’s an absolute blessing to this team/fanbase/region.  It’s just human nature.  He’s going through a lot, and I figured he’d probably double down on a good hire he made as HC and hope that the next step is for “good” to become “great”.

 I have no idea why they extended them when they still had several years left (it serves no purpose) but there is no shortage of NFL coaches fired after getting an extension.

 

Ron Rivera, John Fox, Del Rio, Gus Bradley, Marvin Lewis, Jeff Fisher…. etc all fired within a year or two of receive an extension.

 

 

I agree with this. 

 

For sure but it shows as of right now the seat a lot cooler than some speculated. Doesn't mean they will definitely be here in 2027.

This might ruffle a few feathers in here lol.

 

Congrats to the both of them.

 

Good to ruffle the feathers of the ostriches.  Maybe they will take heads out of holes.

Here is an article showing that there is no difference between either when it comes to record between 2015 and 2019. 
 

 

Here is my issue with this.  Belichick inflates the numbers somewhat.  And by design the league should be overall around .500 no matter who the HC is - an offensive guy or defensive guy.  

 

Since 2020.  Arians, McVay and Reid 2x have won SBs.   
 

The goal is winning SBs.  McD can absolutely win one.  He’s a great HC.  You just better be able to keep guys buying in if you go into year 8, 9, 10 without even an AFC title let alone a SB.  It’s almost unprecedented a guy coaching that long offensive or defensive guy stays on the job.  

 

BB and Pete Carrol are the only 2 defensive head coaches to win the SB since 2009.  
 

Worth noting - BB lost and was out coached by Doug Pederson and Tom Coughlin - was known as a disciplinarian guy - but his background was offense.   

 

The Seahawks - maybe they win another if someone gets on the head set and tells the OC this better go to Lynch.  

 

I’m also considering the Manning led Broncos v Panthers a SB an anomaly.   That Broncos team was ridiculous and Manning was the last piece it needed.  Worth noting it’s defensive HC looked like they had no plan for Cam as he was getting destroyed.  
 

The Super Bowl is the goal now every year and the data says offensive guys or the greatest QB of all time win.  
 

This is not a knock on McD it’s just reality.  He better get the OC position right.  A big year by the offense this season and Dorsey is good as gone.

On the field, sure.

 

It will be business as usual here.

Someone needed to be the first lemming.

 

 

* Lemmings actually do not commit suicide.  There was actually a Disney wildlife film which faked this with many lemmings killed.  Partly why films state "No animals were injured or killed in making this film."

They turned the franchise around and deserve credit for that. But they haven’t been “true SB contenders.” Based on their various degrees of playoff implosion, there’s still a brick wall separating legit SB contention. 
 

The question is whether the current direction of the roster, cap situation, and defense-oriented outlook will get them any closer. 

 

This season will be a huge piece to the answer to that question.

It's actually broken.  He stated that a while ago. @MikePJ76 when's the new laptop getting setup? 😂

You aren't being forced to celebrate anything.  It's simply being celebrated by those who support those certain groups.

The Bills better win the SB soon or the McDermott holy wars will be in full force.....starting to get BBMB during the drought vibes.
