Bills General Manager Brandon Beane says trading for wide receiver Amari Cooper this week may not be the last move his team makes in its quest to bring a Vince Lombardi Trophy to Buffalo this season.

    The definition of stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again thinking it’ll result in a different outcome. McDermott coaching is just that.

    That’s a quote from Albert Einstein about insanity, but it’s not the literal definition of insanity.

    What ends up happening AFTER you fire the coach? If things aren’t immediately fixed with the new coach, fingers get pointed and you start blaming specific players. Because they won’t blame the new coach. Teams blow up over this all the time. You fire the HC and you usually start replacing key players too.

    I guess I have a hard time saying it’s the coach, they were a bad team before he arrived, they’re good now. I would rather keep having success, even if it’s probably not going to lead to a Superbowl, than try a mini-rebuild and retool. I think their chances are better by keeping things consistent and stable.

      That’s the risk you take to win championships. You don’t settle for mediocrity of 1st round or 2nd round exits when you have one of the top 3 to 5 quarterbacks in the league. An extremely rare thing for any team, and a great chance to win it all. With Josh Allen at QB you can attract top coaching talent, not some bottom of the barrel guy. Maybe hire that hot OC from Detroit.
