Shawn McDermott is the head coach of the Buffalo Bills. He’s not the defensive coordinator. As the head coach, he should get blame or praise for how his team performs on the scoreboard, on special teams, on offense and defense. If some writers wish to lay blame at McDermott’s feet because of how his defense played during the regular season and the playoffs, he should get equal amounts of praise for overseeing the magnificent Bills offense this past season. A few days ago, Tyler, you had a podcast with your friend Monos. It was an excellent listen during that day’s morning walk. The Bills have not done well in their draft selections in the first or second round. The general manager, scouting department and yes, McDermott, have to be better at picking players who will develop into quality starters in the first two rounds of the draft. Monos’ phrasing was that the Bills needed to “tighten up” their performance in the first two rounds of the draft. That’s good advice.

Thank you Rog! (And thank you for the coffee, which has been EXCEPTIONAL.)
Hard to argue with Jim, right?
I think the collective talent on the roster is sound. There's depth. Beane's hits in the mid-rounds help alleviate the shaky selections up top.
But to win championships, you've gotta hit that bull's eye.
Huge, huge, huge offseason for Dalton Kincaid and Keon Coleman.
I was just thinking about your Vikings, too. Promise to divert the eyes away from Buffalo here soon.
Devil's advocate time....
What would happen if we didn't pay Josh more money?
He wouldn't hold out. But feels like it'd be a bad look and a bad message to send internally to the other 52.
Seems like a win-win.
Push money down the road. A good chance it'll still be money well spent.
