Yeah, losing Gary would be pretty crushing. He's a lynch pin of that defense.
By his own standards is a very important notation. I wouldn't say Allen owned him. I think he had a better defense behind him with better playmaker and yes he beat him. I think Bills have a much more complete roster. Allen is really good too but patrick is unanimous number 1 pick in NFL If you polled every GM today.

Yeah, they have severely underperformed, and not just this year, either considering the talent they have
This is different. Was working for ESPN:
WTF? Expecting a ticket bump from those who want to see a former center? What a strange hire.

I love NFL talking heads. The Bucs played like dog crap most of the day yesterday, but come back against the Rams (a bad team) and suddenly they've turned a corner. The Bengals get absolutely smoked last week by Cleveland, but get right against the Panthers, and suddenly they've figured it out.
Both of those things could end up being true, but how the heck are people making that call today?
I've been a sports fan long enough to know that's just how it works, but it's always funny to me, to see how reactionary sports media is

I think most in season firings are pretty BS. What does it really gain you.? The season mostly lost by that point. Very rarely will the interim HC get the job anyway.
The only time I can see it making sense, is a culture issue. If the locker room is divided or feuding, then I can understand the reasoning (ie Urban Meyer). Otherwise, I agree, I don't see much gain from it.
Owner gets popped with prescription drugs and sacks of cash back in the day
Not sure I can give this fella any benefit of the doubt.
I swear. Being an NFL owner must be the greatest thing in the world.
Saturday seems like a genuinely great dude and very smart. The interim coach in NFL is more of a public figure than X and O guy so in that sense it’s not a bad move. It still says a lot about what they must think of everybody else on staff though.
It is 100% a clown shoes move. He's so wildly, wildly unqualified it defies belief. How many minority coaches over the years haven't gotten the job because they're told they don't have the experience, even though they've been a coach in the NFL for years? And then they give Saturday the job when he's never coached at the college or pro level. It's laughable.
