Dolphins hire Jeff Hafley as HC. https://www.nfl.com/news/jeff-hafley-dolphins-hire-packers-dc-next-head-coach There were several interested teams, including the Steelers.

TERRIBLE throw by Beck! Could've been a TD.

Dumb penalty time

Let him end it.

I just hate being too conservative near the end. McVay's pussy play calling near the end of regulation should've lost them the game last night.

Miami is about toast.

Do you guys hate Dan Morgan. Give the guy a break for his first draft. He did take the future OROY last year.

Becker is a beast. Mendoza has that faith. Great chemistry.

Another first and time will become a factor for the Hurricanes.

He still has a lot of learning and growing to do. If he does, I can see a first in his future.

The game's not over. Neither team or coach are scrubs. I don't know where some people may be getting that idea.

Holding on Marion

Tom Brady has got to be smiling after that.

They can put a hand on them as long as they don't change their path. Mendoza had a lot of desire on that TD.

We'll see if Mendoza learns from his mistake. I can see pros baiting him to get INTs by playing off.

Damn good play calls on the last drive by Miami. A little misdirection and fakes by Beck.

People are just acting like he hasn't put together a talented roster, but it was still good enough to be in contention for a Super Bowl for most of his time there including this year. The fact is is that from Albert Breer and other sources, Sean McDermott had virtually just as much power as Beane did. It was a collaboration. All that being said, it's not even really worth discussing, as Beane is in Buffalo, an established GM, and still highly regarded in league circles based upon the same body of work which some Huddlers are being hypercritical about. We have Dan. I like Dan. He improved from year one to year two, and hopefully he continues to help the franchise progress.

So you say, but we'll never know. We do know that there are seven head coaching jobs available (which is not surprising) and one GM job available, and with how relatively fast head coaching positions are generally filled, it wouldn't be surprising at all for Sean McDermott to get hired. That's just the nature of the beast. If there were seven GM jobs available and Beane just magically got the axe, he would likely be hired as well. He has done a good job as GM over his tenure, and I think that's pretty much indisputable. McDermott has done a good job as a head coach. I think that's pretty much indisputable as well. Trying to blame one or the other more or less for the Bills lack of getting to the championship is not cut-and-dried. I think most of it falls on the players choking and lack of execution. Just the way I see it.

You see, y'all are saying this, but they basically had equal power on personnel decisions. McDermott was the one coaching and couldn't get it done. I don't know why that's so difficult for people to deal with. And it's not like they didn't have enough to win the Super Bowl (for several years), McDermott just couldn't get it done. I agree that Allen had a bad game. Fumbling the ball and giving away three points was bad, but they probably should've just taken a knee anyway (which speaks squarely to coaching).

He did not have it by himself, lost control through the process of completing the catch, was not down and the play was not over. The play was reviewed by replay assist and confirmed. Just deal with it. There's really nothing to see here.

McDermott "simping" is even worse.

Beane gave McDermott enough firepower to win the Superbowl for several years, including this one, and McDermott did not get it done. Blaming Beane is just wrong. Moreover, there was a more lateral structure in the management from what Albert Breer said. McDermott had huge influence into personnel acquisitions and moves. Not to mention other questions regarding game and clock management through the years. He just didn't get it done. As opposed to trying to malign Brandon Beane, you need to be blaming the players for screwing the pooch (Josh included).

What showed him clearly down and possessing the ball without the DB's arms in there? He was still rolling and did not have clear possession, which is what allowed McMillan to snatch it in the first place. It was not the exact same scenario. It was not identical. Adams had full control. He survived the ground and even made a football move to go upfield. Anyone saying the two are identical is not being intellectually honest. The NFL referee could've explained the situation, and should have, but they followed the rule. Receivers have to survive the ground, and can't lose control.

The Bills call was the right call. Cooks was not a runner, he was a receiver who has to complete the process of the catch until the play is over. Him catching the ball and his knee being down does not apply. He did not survive the ground, much less the defensive back. That's just the fact of the matter.

I'd be shocked to be honest. This isn't how you build a team within the context of our situation. I don't see us in win-now mode as much as build-now mode.
