I think we just need an all-around WR. Both T-Mac and Coker are effective in the slot. If we get another receiver that's effective on the outside and in the slot, we'll be all the better for it.

How 'bout we get a new WR that isn't a bust?

He DID want to play here. I don't know why that rumor persists. He even bought a big mansion. It wasn't until things went South, with the FO not being forthright that his attitude changed, and that was relatively last minute.

They were giving those PFF analytics a priority...

I feel ya. The only thing I really disagree with is the catch. I have listened to plenty of analysis, have seen stills and of course video. I will never believe it was a catch, as Cooks did not secure the ball,which allowed the receivers hands in there and snatch the ball away. That wasn't a running situation. Knee down on the ground and ball in hands does not count. The process of the catch was not over. As far as OT, it is what it is. That's why it's a team sport. The D let him down in 13 seconds.

Dysfunctional as hell, right now, but it will settle down once again with the right coach.

I mean, that's easy to say now, but it's not like McDermott was going to be fired unless Pegula fired him. I suspect that Pegula won't be any more involved with the Bills than he has been, as he just made Beane the football czar. It's Beane's show now, and all the pressure and responsibility that comes with it.

Josh hasn't always played well in crunch time. I mean, it's easy to play hero ball during the regular season. But let's not forget that they've had teams. Diggs would probably have something to say about "hero ball" and being run off. Also, I guess Mahomes is the greater hero.

I mean, yeah, what is he supposed to say? I don't believe it was a case of dying on a hill, just everyone showing a united front by being on the same page. I certainly know that McDermott didn't think that Coleman would be his undoing. I will say this, I'd be feeling some type of way if I were Coleman right now. If this doesn't motivate him to raise his game, then maybe he can't raise it. Lastly, I don't know that McDermott will let that slide if it's not really true. I wouldn't.

Hey, I'll take a London Fletcher clone.

I don't think he'll go anywhere if they hire Brian Daboll.

Well, I'm not "close" to that situation and really don't follow Hockey. But all I can say is is that I can't fault the man for thinking that a change was needed. He thought they had hit a wall. Sometimes a message gets stale and a change of scenery is needed. It could be the best thing for McDermott and the best thing for the Bills in the end.

I think you guys are vastly underestimating the power that McDermott had. Terry Pegula, during his presser, said outright that Keon Coleman was NOT BEANE'S next choice. Beane gave into the coaching staff because it was a collaboration. That's what Pegula said. Now we'll likely never know which picks were Beane's and which picks were McDermott's, but suffice it to say that there is a reason McDermott was fired. Pegula basically said that he thought they had hit a wall with all the almost-wins-turned-losses, and he thought that they needed a change. Pegula also addressed the narrative about Beane making some type of power play. He flat out said that had Beane done that, he would've been fired on the spot. For anyone that's interested, it was a compelling interview to watch or listen to.

They all provide some value at or around their current numbers. I'd be reluctant to let a solid, but unspectacular, DT (or OT for that matter) just leave without talking to him.

Meh. You don't necessarily trade a king's ransom for a draft pick, but you should strike when the opportunity presents itself. It's all about scouting and taking the BPA. You don't pass up on a viable QB---your guy who's just sitting there--just because it's year one to three and your team has holes. Just build your team.
