Also after seeing him in SF, would NE even want him? Or would they try to find a better option at QB for the future? Normally I wouldn’t be surprised to see him brought it as a stop-gap while they figure out the QB position, but his contract will make it harder

I never understood the appeal of a Frank Zappa. Terrible music. I guess you have to do a bunch of psychedelic drugs to enjoy.

I will say it’s kind of a catchy song and probably helps market the team to younger audience. So in that respect it’s good.

He wasn’t a terrible coach and was easily the best coach of The Drought (not saying much). I’d say he was pretty mediocre. The biggest thing that continues to plague his success is his conservative nature. We saw this in Buffalo when he elected to punt close to FG range. You can argue he cost JAX a super bowl appearance

Same with me, but I was on the fence about Marrone. There was a narrative in the media that his game management and conservative nature was killing the team. Looking back it’s hard to dispute that. Still a winning record at 9-7, even though it meant losing to a 2-12 Raider team that killed their chance at the playoffs, seemed like a huge accomplishment. I thought we had traded up when they hired Rex a few days later🙄🙄🙄

Makes sense. I don’t really listen to rap and only know of the artists who crossed over. I did see that Benny was a guest on One Bills Live a few weeks back but had no idea who he was. I agree with this take.

What is his biggest hit? Like the song that most people know? I don’t really follow modern hip-hop

Can someone explain who Benny is? Is he a local rapper? Or one that’s known on a national scale?

LOL yes but I’m sure Marv Levy would interesting as well

Maybe it’s just the 1990’s NBA fan in me, it I rest enjoyed listening to Marv Levy call NFL games

John Brown IS ready and activated. He’s on the COVID list as he was in close contact with TJ Yeldon

What did he clarify?

They are different receivers. Last Spring I would have wanted Hopkins but I think Diggs is the better fit in a lot of ways on this team.

I don’t believe Denver did when he was HC. His overall winning percentage is about 57%. Slightly above average which is how Id categorize him as HC. Wade is also almost 74 years old. Too old to be hired as a HC Dan Orlavsky loved Caldwell and said what a good job he did as HC in Detroit. I know he’s been in consideration for other HC jobs recently.

On paper he’s the best choice and he easily had the best record in the NFL. I guess the downside of Harbaugh would be his personality and leadership.

Good defensive coordinator but very average HC

You’re the GM of an NFL franchise and about to hire a new coach. But your owner insists on hiring a HC with previous NFLhead coaching experience. Who do you hire and why? Below are a few candidates: Leslie Frazier, Bills DC Josh McDaniels, Patriots HC Jason Garrett, Giants OC Todd Bowles, Bucs DC Dennis Allen, Saints DC Raheem Morris, Falcons DC/HC Romeo Crennel, Texans DC/HC Chan Gailey, Miami OC (just for fun!) Dan Quinn, out of NFL Matt Patricia, out of NFL Marvin Lewis, out of NFL Bill O’Brien, out of NFL Jim Caldwell, out of NFL Jim Harbaugh, out of NFL IMO I would go with Frazier or Bowles. I think both are good leaders that would be a solid defense. Offense is the big question mark with them.

Correct but if Pittsburgh loses and Cleveland beats the Jets both teams go into the game at 11-4. That means the division winner will be 12-4 as well. So in a 3 way tiebreaker, the Bills would win.

Miami is hurting for offensive playmakers but their defense is carrying them and a few turnovers can flip any game

Yeah this makes a lot of sense. Starters get to rest Week 17 and the Bills would get to play Miami for a 2nd time in 2 weeks without having to tip their hand. Some of this is out of the team’s control You never know..::be careful what you wish for

No that isn’t true in most cases. You only need the Titans to lose if the Jets defeat the Browns next week. Cleveland plays Pittsburgh in Week 17, and with a loss to Indy, both will be 11-4. Division winner will finish 12-4. That means with a win at NE, the worst Buffalo could finish is 12-4. The best Tennessee and Cleveland/Pittsburgh will finish is 12-4. Bills win a 3 way tiebreaker over any of those teams. If Bills handle their business in Foxboro Indy beats Pittsburgh Cleveland beats the Jets Bills are locked in at #2 in week 16

Yep but the only thing is whoever the Bills play will not be easy. Baltimore, Cleveland, Tennessee, Indy are all tough opponents. Even Miami’s defense could get a few turnovers to win. So while Baltimore looks tough, so does just about every matchup in the AFC. Also I can’t see Pittsburgh losing 4 in a row..::but we’ll see

The 2nd seed puts the Bills in a very precarious position. They likely need to win out to keep that position. That means defeating Miami in Week 17, allowing Baltimore to sneak in and take the 7th spot. So by grabbing the 2 seed and beating Miami, you can argue the Bills set themselves up with a tougher opponent than they would have playing the #6 seed in the 3rd seed. But if Indy beats Pittsburgh and the Bills beat NE, then the Bills are locked into the #2 seed in week 16. They can rest starters, let Miami grab #7, and play them again the next week at home

At this point, the Jets have to trade Darnold and take another QB in the draft. It’s not going to work on NY and both parties just need to move on. Also Douglas is going to want to buy as much time as possible, and one way to do that is to bring a new coach and QB on board. I’m almost certain Darnold is out

It’s going to be hard to show a decrease in numbers given the fact that rates have typically risen after the holidays. I am hearing the big concern is tailgating over attending the game in the stadium - which we’ve seen can be more of a controlled environment
