    Pitchforks were out for Marv after XXVI. Ralph probably didn’t want to move on with the core group still being intact, although aging. By the time Kelly left, it was all systems go on Operation Fire Marv.

    He eventually left in a more dignified manner but there is zero doubt he would have been let go had he chosen not to resign.

    Really don’t understand the adverse reaction to calling for a coach to be let go. Seriously, it’s not like people are calling for a puppy to be murdered or something. On average 7 NFL HC’s get replaced every season. Such is life. Perform to the level of expectations or get that resume polished up.



  • We’re around the same average age as the 49’ers and nearly half of their highest paid players are on the wrong side of 30. Von is the only guy we have on the books in our top 10 in regard to total contract value.

    If you want to feel younger, cut Sam Martin and AJ Klein. Replace them with undrafted free agents. Boom, you’ve just drunk from the fountain of youth. I hope you feel reinvigorated Buffalo.




  • Well said, definitely where my head is at. McDermott has shown us who he is. While reading, this old fable came to mind. Starring McD as the Scorpion, Late Game Decisions as The River, and Us/Franchise as The Frog.

    A frog was hopping along the shore of a river looking for a place to cross. He came upon a scorpion sitting on the shore. “Hello, frog,” said the scorpion. “It appears you are looking to cross the river. I too want to cross. Would you mind carrying me?”

    The frog was taken aback. “Why, if I let you on my back to cross the river, you’d sting me and I would die. I don’t think I’ll do that.”

    The scorpion immediately replied, “There is no logic to your concern. If I sting you and you die, I will surely die as well, since I can’t swim.”

    The frog thought a moment and then said, “Your logic makes sense. Why would you kill me if it would result in your death? Come along and climb on my back and we’ll cross this river.”

    The scorpion climbed on the frog’s back and off they went to cross the river.

    About halfway across the river, the scorpion raised its tail and stung the frog. The frog was both astounded and disconsolate. “Why did you sting me? Now I will die and you will surely drown and die also.”

    The scorpion replied, “I can’t help it. It’s who I am. It’s in my nature.”



  • If you think a McD led Bills team can win a Super Bowl at this point in its life cycle, you are putting your chips in on an all-time historical anomaly.

    If your goal is to be relevant and try to win, then we’re having a different conversation altogether. If the goal is to win a SB, it’s pretty clear what needs to be done at this point. To reference the old Monty Python film; “And Now For Something Completely Different”.

    People called for Levy to step down. Bubbled up during the SB years. Became the majority opinion once Kelly left.

    I understand change is scary but holy shit Josh Allen is capable of being elite, right now. If you sincerely want to push on with confidence for the next 2-3 seasons with the hopes of getting back to where you were in '20-'21, then by all means.

    If that doesn’t work out though, gratz you’ll be in a new stadium with a 30+ year old Josh Allen probably with a bit of a limp, probably with a few of those Big Ben braces and wraps and most definitely a few steps slower.

    Personally, I saw you do whatever you have to do right now ('24 and onwards) from an organizational standpoint to align the stars and win a ring. Including, but not limited to, dismissing a coach who’s done great things for the franchise for which the fanbase will be eternally grateful.
