    Keeping Joe Brady is as easy as writing a check…, 

     

    GO BILLS!!!

    Assistants make $3mil or so.  Head coaches make 6-8 mil I think.   I suspect the money might matter to some but not all coordinators.  He who wants to run his own show will go.  Security minded will stay for something short of the total difference for family stability.  In either case, its a good l iving but an all consuming job.

    Does this wildcard game vs Denver remind anyone else of that 1996 game vs Jacksonville? Vet coach with a young QB, upstart team playing with nothing to lose, big home favorite with all the pressure on them? Maybe it’s my Bills paranoia setting in but I just can’t shake the feeling. 

    Actually, I was remembering back to about ,85, when the Bills and Bronco's had a playoff game in the extreme January cold.  bills won it on an INT by Carlton Bailey, the MLB at the time.  Low scoring affair, as the elements were heavy on both teams.  Hope I got that year  almost right.  I was there!

  3. One and done tournament.  Bills can get to KC I think.  But, that will favor the chiefs, but not by much.  (thats why they play the games)  Buffalo vs Detroit in the SB.   Media and betting venues will favor the Lions out of the box, so put your money on the Bills early  to  get the best point spread.

    This could get ugly on a biblical scale.

    The Bills D scheme is now unmasked in the league.  On TV they said "blood in the water for the Bills now"  the scheme will have to be tweeked, and need better players.  and, Milano looks a step slow out there to me, I don't want to see that, but I do.

    McDermott has a history of playing "system" guys who understand his complex defense over "take some risks, make some big plays" guys.

     

    Elam is the latter. 

     

    Unfortunately, top offenses shred the system (because they are good enough to see and exploit the holes), and then you don't have the type of guys who make game changing plays.

     

    A perfect example was signing A.J. Klein last year instead of playing Dorian Williams. If Willams had played he might have gotten burned a few times, but he may have made some big plays or stops, which Klein could not do. 

    Yes, Elam is a cover/man CB and has all the physical skills to do that.  But, McD doesn't  value that, he wants guys in position, even if they are a step slow.  (Beneford)  Elam is the second coming of Ronald Darby, who was also a cover CB. (still in the league btw)  Elam will go elsewhere and play well imho.  Beneford is McD's find...but the LA receivers undressed him.  He had his zone  covered, but, didn't make a play on the ball much.  And, the scoop a  couple of weeks ago, Beneford showed he is relatively slow for a CB, and not up to running with the speed receivers.  So, the McD scheme gets good results most of the time, except when the opposition sees what is going on and does something else.  A D set up to stop the big play in the air can't stop the run much as we have seen now.  And our D line isn't good enough to get pressure sufficient to let the zone back end get things done all the time.  (zero sacks against the Rams)

  6. Mike White is the real backup imho.  Mitch is a journeyman, but has played a lot.   Might get by with him a couple of games.  white has had some runs as a starter, and has shown he can play.  Buffalo is lucky to have him.  Likley to loose him next year as he will be in demand.  He left Miami for difference in opinion w the team management.

    Not Josh Allen, he'll either be Super Bowl bound or will let an alternate go as he seems to do every year.

    I am guessing he  would want SB if h e c an.  Them time off.  Beauty contests aren't any fun.   Maybe he can be playing Pebble Beach!

    The Jets defense has underperformed most of the season. They still have the talent, he might be able to help. Not saying it's a wise choice or not, but despite his tenure in Buffalo, he was a pretty decent coach, especially with the defense.

    Ahhhh...NO!
