Looking at the bright side of this debacle

[Gisele]

Bills gear will be really cheap before Christmas.

Yep.. Also we don't have to endure a soul crushing playoff loss.  We're stacking those now and my January will be stress free.

Yeah but who wants to buy it now.

There is a very bright side if it leads to McD getting fired

I thought about this one last night.

 

Obviously, I would always hope the team makes the playoffs. But there is something to be said for not risking a heart attack in January.

its really uplifting when some one finds a silver lining

There's no version of events where the Bills win a SB with McD.  I'd say that right now at least 20 NFL HCs are better gameday coaches than him, and he seems to be getting worse

Don't think that fixes the turnover problem, unfortunately.

Yup. I've been saying this for years. We will never win anything with this guy leading the charge.

A better coaching staff could certainly help alleviate them.

In all seriousness, I feel like bottoming out will make it easier to say goodbye to a lot of long-termers next year for cap reasons.  Morse, White, Hyde, Poyer, Davis, Miller (post-June 1), and Neal all are likely goners.  Harty, DaQuan, Phillips, Settle, Klein, Matakevich, and maybe Sam Martin probably fall into that category, too.  Gotta clear cap space, load up on offense, and let a bunch of kids try to figure it out on the other side of the ball.

The view is very likely to be “even HOF coaches have a bad season, he has earned the right to see if he bounces back “

Gotta have the horses. This offense ain't it.

Got to keep DaQuan IMO. If not, a tangible upgrade which may be hard to get for that value.

I completely agree with you.  But I don’t know if they’re going to want to pay him given his age and our cap situation.
