Then almost did it again in 2021, except that time Jimmy didn't even have a fully functioning throwing arm. Then almost did it with the last pick of the draft in his rookie year as his QB. I would trade for Shannahan and give up two first rounders for it

big reason I've called him the best coach in the sport in the past.

The consistent 8-8 team (well I guess 8-9/9-8 now). But clearly the man had his best run with Big Ben. The closest I can come up with is Mike Vrabel who had a good but not great QB in Ryan Tannehill.

Name a single freakin coach who's won a ton of games over multiple seasons without great QB play

Blitzing Burrow and those WRs is basically begging to be blown out. You gotta be real picky when doing that This is the NFL. You’re gonna have a good defense unless you have a good pass rush. The Bills simply do not have the horses to have a good pass rush. There’s no way to get around that

That’s what it’s gonna be unless the Bills can manufacture a blue chip pass rusher in the next week. Beane and McDermott came up with a plan to come after offenses with waves of pressure from different spot using really good but not elite pass rushers (since getting a true blue chip is cost prohibitive or requires a top 10 pick). in Ed Oliver, Joey Bosa, and Michael Hoecht. Now Groot is worth his weight in gold as a run defender but just an above average pass rusher. We added some of interesting pieces in the rookie class for depth as well. The problem? Oliver and Hoecht are gone for the season. Bosa was having a pretty good year and now injured. Heck the bills even lost Landon Jackson for the season. They have rookie TJ Sanders - a DT - playing freakin EDGE. Around week 7, when I saw what Hoecht could be, I thought the ceiling for the defense was a top 5 defense. Just a real shame how injuries truly knifed this defense

That indoor turf is good for pass rushers who rely on explosiveness and fast twitch. Playing OP in the cold will slightly slow them down, which is hugely helpful in PassPro (pass rushers are athletic monsters. Anything to slow them down is helpful)

If the Bills play houston again, I think Joe Brady will have learned his lesson on islanding his tackles as often as he did

Gotta love a 4th place schedule

Best Inline TE in the sport

I vote neither, and I vote for luck and Beane's offensive personnel strategy. I think he drafts better than a lot of people say, but he made a very influential choice to go bargain bin shopping for the WR position. That choice, more than anything else, is the primary issue with the offense.

He knows his already flawed roster, has now also been killed by injuries. Whatever black magic he's using to get these timely runs of good defense and mostly good offense with exactly Zero(o) starting quality perimeter WRs,...like keep talking about toughness my dude I know I'm known to be a fan of his, but this is without a doubt - in my mind - his best coaching job. I don't understand how the Bills are sitting here with 9 wins instead of 5.

It was kinda horrifying to see him keep playing

Tbf they’re not gonna play another QB as good as Burrow. He might be the best QB in football today. Sure they schemed some guys open but so many of these plays were Burrow or a receiver saying “I’m better than you”

This is controversial but James cook might be more valuable to this current offense than Josh Allen. He’s playing at an elite level. That 4th quarter swing pass where he just casually jukes two different dudes and picks up a huge first down. Like it’s just sheer arrogance and pulling it off
