Week 16 Postgame Thread Bills @ Pats*
Figster replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Josh Allen holding a commanding lead of the leagues long ball completion percentage. (over Mahomes and Rodgers) Combined with playing lights out 4 consecutive weeks in prime time coming down the stretch. Shows why Allen should be more then just an honorable mention as league MVP IMO. -

Big Ben got so entrenched in the short yardage game he had forgotten what really makes him so good IMO. Poor pass protection hasn't helped. Like Allen , medium to long range is Big Bens forte... -

I'll settle for a W and expecting a very tough game. Some of these teams with bad records playing spoiler like the Jets still want to prove to the world that they can play. Its their Superbowl... -
Normally, I would be totally against how Flores is handling the situation. Although when I watch the overall season play out and how well the team responds to whomever is behind center. Its hard to find fault with how the Dolphins HC is handling the development of Tua. Ryan Fitzpatrick helped make all this possible...(coaching material)
-
To be a good planner you really need to know what your oppositions strengths and weaknesses are which much of comes from knowing the players well IMO. I realize its speculation and much of B B 's success is tied to the GOAT/Tom Brady. He's still a brilliant coach and also a big part of Brady's success IMO. Together they became next to impossible to beat. I can understand why some people would feel differently.

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Merry Christmas everyone! Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow ( as we wake up to 3 feet of snow so we can shovel it ) OK, you can stop now...

Derrick Henry tossing Bills players aside like king kong on a rampage amist the blinding snow is not a heart warming thought on the eve before Christmas IMO. Facing the rookie Tua, on the frozen tundra on the other hand, warms my heart...

Which retread NFL Head Coach would you hire?
Figster replied to JohnNord's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Cowher, when I listen to him seems to still get it from a league perspective IMO. I'm not sure how well players would go for the in your face style now days. It would be interesting to find out. Myself personally, as a player If my goal is to win a Championship. Get all up in my face, cuss and spit on me, anything you want. Just take me there... -

A win, win combination Which is what makes a good GM and ownership so important... I might switch that to Wade Phillips as HC, Gailey as OC (with Fitzy starting his coaching career working with the QB's ) As an owner a scenario something like this would intrique me... -

Take a look at B B win loss record over the last 2 decades including playoffs/championships and name one coach that has accomplished more. Now in my opinion overall record would probably be the best way to determine what coach knows the league and its players best. With all due respect to everyone that thinks differently, B B record speaks for itself IMO.

McD's process may not allow for "simply not good enough" in my humble opinion. Buffalo needs to be able to run the football at will because weather conditions at the Ralph may not allow a for a finesse passing attack IMO. I understand where your coming from although up until the bye a high powered passing attack in most instances has not helped a sputtering run game. Myself personally, it had more to do with not getting the RB's enough involved in the O to get a feel for the playing surface. How individuals on the Oline are blocking, or how the opposition is trying to defend them. It takes touches to get the motor going.( run or pass ) From the looks of it McD/Daboll are in the process of remedying the problem IMO. So while I agree my friend, the pass does open up the run. I think the answer we are looking for is somewhere in the middle.
-
Generally speaking, I think it works both ways IMO. A good run game that can come at you at any time that gets mixed in with a high powered passing attack puts the oppossing D on its heels and 2nd guessing IMO. Good ball distribution in both run and pass, the motor is hitting on all cylinders. So Josh can put the pedal to the metal... (The Titans deep playoff push last post season is a great example of what a good running game can do for you.)
-
I think getting our RB's more and more involved has really helped the Bills gain the upper hand IMO.
