Kelly to Allen

1997 Denver Broncos Rosters, Stats, Schedule, Team Draftees | Pro-Football-Reference.com https://search.app/NcJ66Q2hQZh4G93z9 This is my Superbowl run prediction

Shakir is the obvious fill in for a couple playoff games if it's a grade 1 hamstring strain. Shakir did it a ton at Boise State which had some pretty crazy wind and weather. He also was the backup pr guy in 22 and 23. Shakir also allows you to keep Elam active as CB depth which is important imo in case Benford/ Douglas get banged up Elam/ Ingram/ Lewis all active CB depth is big I also think Ty Johnson can do it

The negativity before the playoffs is off the charts. But I sorta understand with the past playoff games on defense. But I really don't think these games are going to be competitive. I think buffalo is going to obliterate some of these teams. KC will be close

Nope

He was really good vs KC. He's obviously disappointed and struggled being banged up but I expect him to help and can be valuable depth in a playoff run.

Khalil shakir on pr It's possible but unlikely they call up Hardy but IDK But both are very experienced Hyde too obviously

I need McDermott to watch this scene like 10x until it sinks in. All before the playoffs

Dynasty incoming

Yup

Good for him. He's had a tough time making a name for himself

More than anything in this playoff, another poster already said it. I want to see McDermott play to frickin win on defense. Go after the QB , take chances and dictate to the offense. I can live with mistakes, I can live with maybe a bad playoff performance on defense. But I can't deal with just sitting back and letting the offense do whatever they want. I want to see a level of intensity and aggression on defense that resembles a defensive unit that is going to philosophically put everything on the table. As cliche as it sounds, whatever you fear is usually what you will manifest. Go into this playoff fearless and live with the results

I didn't say if it doesn't happen this year. I said specifically if the defense is terrible vs Denver and we lose or more broadly speaking the defense is terrible vs Baltimore or even KC. I'm telling you that we will never get to a super bowl with him as HC if that happens. Too much data will be in. The defense is healthy. We just saw Aaron Glenn with all kinds of injuries get it done in a massive massive game vs a formidable offense. As to "oh but who can we hire" is ridiculous framing.... Sean Payton was just available. Vrabel is available, maybe Ben Johnson is the next bill Walsh. But regardless, we know that even with dick jaroun or any replacement level coach that can tie his shoes, Allen will most likely still win the division and the team will be in the playoffs most years. How do I know this? Because Allen has 2 13 win seasons with a 16th ranked defense and 11th ranked defense in points against. In other words, even without a top ten defense Allen still has multiple years winning 13 games.... The goal is to win multiple Superbowls with a first ballot Hof QB. Not be good and turn into the Warren Moon oilers

He's very strong vs the run tho.

Solid point. He honestly hasn't played much

I love Hyde but I think it will be Shakir. With Elam active

Everyone agrees with you on how ownership feels. He's not going anywhere even if we lose vs Denver and Bo nix looks like prime Marino But if that happens, in year 7 with Allen, I'm telling you that Josh Allen and the bills will never get to ,( not win), a super bowl. It will never happen with this coach. And with a big Ben, Elway level QB, that's more depressing than the Kelly super bowl years. To have this level of QB and your coach is that terrible in the playoffs on his side of the football is pure nihilism in a sports sense and fans will grow extremely bitter and cynical. Regardless of how Terry feels or whatever

The players thought Mac Jones was a top 100 player and voted Lamar better than mahomes last year lol

This is a great post. If we can't beat the rookie QB Denver broncos at home in the playoffs because we are without a starting wr, we got way bigger problems. Way bigger, whether ppl want to admit it or not Curtis Samuel and Hollins can fill in fine for a game.

That makes your argument worse. I don't hate McDermott. I actually prefer to keep him long term I just want his defense to be avg in the playoffs...

Again Marvin Lewis didn't have a first ballot Hof QB. McDermott does

If Sean McDermott because of his defensive failing in the playoffs can't figure it out with a hof qb, dude I don't know what you want me to say. It's year 7 with Allen. His defense has to show up. It doesn't need to be the steel curtain defense of the 70s, but dude enough is enough

Exactly. This is a rookie QB Any excuses by ppl in the media or cover 1 is just gaslighting. Buffalo should destroy this team in a home playoff game

This makes your argument even worse. If those coaches got to a super bowl with the likes of rex Grossman and Jake delhomme, this makes McDermott even worse than incompetent.

As soon as Andy Reid and dungy got Hof QBs, they went to multiple super bowls

Marvin Lewis didn't have Allen... More cover 1 excuses already being prepped for the playoffs if McDermott can't stop a nose bleed
