Im guessing that now we all understand why that dude was a junior high football coach

A few of my favorites. Top shelf, where mama hides the cookies! Lalalalalala lafontaine!, Alexander the great! Stopped… by the Dominator!

Drafted in spring 2019. Count it on your fingers. 2023 is his5th year in the nfl.

WTF is McD wearing a jester hat?

Got a better one foryou. Reporter was asking Hank Bullough about his decision to punt instead of kick a field goal. “Well, that’s just spilled milk over the dam”

I came away from this wondering how the Browns ended up drafting Baker Mayfield over Allen. Arent Manziel and Mayfield the same player? Texas boys, good at playground football, a bit short, ocassional alcohol issues? Surprised that they didn’t learn their lesson with Manziel. but really glad they didn’t draft Allen17.

Yup. This guy found a simple way to win $11K betting money line. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/bettor-loses-1-4-million-after-chargers-blow-playoff-game-against-jaguars-per-report/

The guy who wrote this is an idiot. It’s based off an Athletic article. They interviewed 50 NFL coaches/GM. There were 5 Tier 1 qbs. Allen had 3rd highest rating. Mahomes scored a perfect 1.00. Burrows a 1.02. Allen a 1.12 (which means 6 coaches voted him in tier2 and 44 voted him in tier 1). The best tier 2 qb scored 1.82. So yeah, this guy is clueless.

Tim’s lesser known older brother.

This is true. Journalists and podcasters were announcing loudly that the Bills organization had failed by not cutting Araiza the instant an accusation was made. I distinctly remembering reading an opinion piece by Tim Graham stating that in no uncertain terms. I tried to find that piece last night, and couldn’t. Hmm…..

There is a fairly straightforward solution to this problem. Have NFLPA and owners recognize that RB is a unique position, and make the first contracts 2 yrs with a team option for a third. That way RBs can hit a second contract 2-3 years sooner.

Uhh…. Just because they talk about it on sports talk radio doesn’t mean it’s true. Barkley was never offered a 2 yr $26 mil guaranteed contract. Now who looks stupid?

Ah, this is a pedantic argument. That’s pretty close to what it means, and it represents the cumulative opinion of the worlds betting public as to the likelihood of the Bills winning the AFC. it’s the most objective way of obtaining an estimated probability of a future event. Or if you have a better metric, please let me know.

Per DraftKings, Bills are +500 to win the AFC. In others words, DraftKings is saying the Bills have a 20% chance of making it to the SuperBowl. Do the Bills have a 20% chance of missing the playoffs? I don’t think so, my guess is about a 10% chance of missing the playoffs. If they get a rash of key injuries and bad bounces.

Take a close look at that selfie. That’s not McD, it’s a comedian named Bill Burr. He catfished the dude who wrote the story.

I'm not a huge fan of ESPN these days. But they got this right. Kudos to Bills top notch training staff. And Damar for his tribute.

Let’s be clear. The only facts on this topic are the won-loss records that i cited in my post. everything else, no matter how definitively it is stated, is conjecture and speculation. “100% of Josh’sdevelopment” “80% of our wins are due to Josh ; Bills are a 6-7 win team without Josh” is stated as a fact, but it’s complete speculation. Ie, bullcrap.

I specifically phrased this as: "But how much of Allens success is due to McD leadership and coaching?" Yes, of course, McD isnt coaching Allen's throwing mechanics, and the reciever's route trees. But he is the team LEADER. He sets the tone. He sets practice and meeting parameters, he picks (with input from GM) the coaches. He is the one ultimately responsible for success or failure. Not Allen. If the Bills fail to win an AFC championship over the next 3 years, who gets fired? Allen? Nope, it'll be McD. Because he's the leader responsible for success or failure.

"McD is a very polarizing HC." I find statement like this to be absolutely stunning. McD is the best Bills coach this century. Full stop. End of story. McD 62-35 (.639); 5 of 6 season in playoffs. All other Bills coaches since 2000 102/169 (.377); 0 of 17 seasons in playoffs. How is this even a debate?? Yes, of course, McD has had Josh Allen. But how much of Allens success is due to McD leadership and coaching? This is, of course, an unknowable question. But realize that Allen has never had a remarkably successful season except as a Buffalo Bill. His record at Wyoming was 16-12. Allen was regarded as a raw talent, and didnt become a superior QB until his Buffalo Bills seasons. How much of his success was due to his own hard work, his QB coaches (including Dorsey btw), his OC, and his HC is impossible to know. But it is inarguable that McD is the best Bills coach of this century.

I’m just glad it’s not Art Wander and Chuck Dickerson.

“Hey Thad, guess what I like about you?” ”Hmm,what?” ”Nothing. Not a f****ing thing. “

If you look at this from a purely logical point of view, you cannot say that Allen without McD is a winner in the NFL. There is no evidence for that because it has never happened. Allen hasn’t played a down in the NFL without McD. So any opinion as to whether Allen equates to Bills winning is simply a guess, an opinion not based upon fact. On the other hand, if you ask whether McD can produce a playoff team without Allen, the answer is yes. It happened with a pretty marginal QB who only started a few games after leaving the Bills, and never led a team to the playoffs without McD as a coach. Lookit, I think Allen is a top 3 QB in the NFL, and I’m glad he’s on our team. But I also think McD is far and away the best Bills coach in this century, and a top 3 Bills coach of all time. McD and Beane turned the Bills from a perennial loser to a consistent top 5 team in the NFL. Winning a SuperBowl requires a bit of luck. Ask Jim Kelly. If his kicker truck the ball a couple millimeter s to the left, he’d be a Super Bowl champ. If Levi Wallace had played smarter coverage in the 13 sec, not allowing inside release, Bills might have been Super Bowl winners. If Bills D hadn’t been down 2 of top 3 DL and both safeties then Bills may have won. it’s maddening to listen to folks pretend McD is some average coach. He’s very good.

Deny everything. Admit nothing. Make counter-accusations. Hmmm…. Seems like a familiar strategy. I think it’s been in the news a bit.

+1 Excellent analysis. As a long time Bills fan, this all makes perfect sense.

Once and for all,it wasn’t the defense “formation” that lost the 13 second game. it was how the players played. The DB funneled everything to inside releases. Which is fine in a 13 sec drill if the other team has no TO. But Chiefs had TO. The DB needed to play tighter. They had deep cushions. I don’t know why they didn’t play tighter. Was it coaching, talent, misinterpretation of the goals? I don’t know. But the “formation”. — a 3-2-6, was fine. DBs needed to play it tighter.
