For all you McDermott haters, who would you want? (Now a poll)
TheFunPolice replied to Draconator's topic in The Stadium Wall
People have gotten totally out of whack with expectations for teams and QBs. Manning "couldn't win the big one" but played in 4 Super Bowls and won 2, going 1-1 with 2 different teams and had a winning record vs Brady in the playoffs. -
Return of the Tre! (Tre White signs with the Bills)
TheFunPolice replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall
He hasn't been that bad, he just isn't elite anymore due to injuries. But Tre can help out on D and be a solid rotational player if we can get some DBs healthy. That was supposed to be his role. -

That last Rams/Pats SB was one of the worst SB games I have ever seen. 3-0 going into the 4th quarter. Brady's first pass of the game was picked off. Right! And Ben went to a 3rd vs Green Bay. If Allen plays in 3 Super Bowls and wins 2 like Big Ben that's a lock solid HOF career. Not every QB is Brady winning 7 SB rings. -
I just read an article that said UNC and Belichick "don't beleive the rumors that are out there." If that doesn't sum up how dysfunctional and bizarre this whole episode is then I don't know what would. Hmmm... we don't think the rumors that we're having meetings about firing the coach are true. LOL I guess they might be and UNC just doesn't know they are having these meetings.

Beans and Sean - Should we miss the SB again
TheFunPolice replied to Cubanmist 1's topic in The Stadium Wall
Allen will never have another HC with the Bills. It isn't even worth getting worked up about. One year the WR will drop the 13 seconds ball or a DL will make the sack and we'll advance. -
Let's not forget that Watson could return soon. LOL the Browns.

I mean under McDermott

McDermott is calm, steady, reliable. McDermott's scheme is keep the game in front of you, make the other team go all the way down the field bit by bit. Nothing comes cheap. He's betting that the opposing offense will eventually make a mistake, and he's usually right. Even last night, NE made plenty. But so did we, which is uncharacteristic. Without the Coleman fumble and Allen INT, we win. The problem comes playoff time. Not only is the talent and coaching much better, but everyone is hyper focused. Thus, this approach on D is less successful.

This is the same thing people said about Rex's defenses. He needed an all pro LB and S to run it. When it worked it was great, but as soon as those guys were gone it fell apart. Bills have never truly had an elite LB. Milano has been a very good player but nowhere near the level of a guy like Ray Lewis, who was like a DC on the field who also had elite athleticism. That said, few are, which is why Rex is working at ESPN instead of coaching. He didn't forget defense, it's just his schemes are way too complicated for young players to grasp and all world LBers and S are very hard to come by, let alone at the same time on the same D. Imagine Poyer, Hyde and White all in their primes but paired with a top 3 NFL MLB who could teach McDermott his own scheme he knows it so well and has the intensity of a madman on the field.

It's almost harder to GET to the Super Bowl than win it. Getting there means a lot of things have to go right. Stay healthy, get a few bounces, avoid the back breaking PI penalty... Once you're there it's one football game and Doug Pederson and Nick Foles can win over Belichick and Brady. If that's a 7 game series NE wins 4-2 or 4-1. That's the beauty of football, though. It's not realistic of course, but imagine if last season the NFL decided "enough Chiefs!" and just put the Browns in the Super Bowl vs the Eagles for variety. I would have given them a 25-30% shot at winning. Myles Garrett causes a fumble, Barkley tweaks a hammy, Eagles miss a FG, Romo goes "ohhhhhhhhhhhh Jim!" and suddenly it's the 4th quarter and it's an Eagles type score of 15-11 and we have drama. But of course, you have to get there to earn that chance. Thus the question is not CAN a McDermott coached team win one, because of course they can. Can they GET THERE is the real question that is TBD. -
Return of the Tre! (Tre White signs with the Bills)
TheFunPolice replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall
Tre White is going to be the player that intercepts the ball, winning the Super Bowl for the Bills. It'll be tipped by a DL, but he will be the guy who secures the INT, ending the Lions drive and securing the W.
