Week 18: The Darnold Testament

Firing Mayo would be so unfair to him.

Hire a young rookie HC, give him a rookie QB and a roster with extremely, extremely little talent on it, and then fire him when he doesn't magically overperform with it.

I said when he was hired that it was extremely likely he's fail through no fault of his own due to how tough it is to come in after a long time coach who controlled so many things, but still feels rough to clearly make him the sacrificial lamb.

If they hire Vrabel seems like they should have done that last season after vrabel got fired in Ten. Seems like they wanted to give Mayo a shot but now that vrabel is still out there and interviewing they don’t want to miss their second chance at him.

He’s appeared over his head this year though.

If you think Maye is your franchise QB, you have to make sure you have people in the building that can maximize his talent over his rookie contract.

Maybe they can get Maye’s fellow UNC alumni, Ben Johnson?

didn't they also pay him extra for a few years as the "HC in waiting"? seems like maybe you'd give him a little more runway than one season
 
I wonder who is rooting for New England to win more…New England fans or Buffalo fans. Because I want them to win pretty badly and not get to trade #1 for a lot of assets. I can’t imagine many in New England want to see their backups win a meaningless game for their opponent…when it’s an important one for you.

Plus I like when Buffalo gets exposed in any way when Allen isn’t on the field. Show the world that lack of depth on the roster. Make them understand it’s one guy doing all of this and has been for years.

Right, but I think it was pretty clear he'd be in over his head from the very start. He's only 5 or 6 years into coaching and was never a coordinator.

The Pats talked all about how he'd been groomed as a HC for years, but I think everyone who didn't guzzle the patriot way gatorade knew that was just meaningless puffing.

As a Bills fan, I couldn't care less where they pick.
