The Jets offense would stink even with Rodgers. Bad OL, bad weapons, and Nate Hackett. Terrible.

A Nate Clements reference?

When Easton stick takes off his helmet but its actually Nate peterman

I read the free parts of Dunne's series and some of the quotes around here. Not going to pay for that. Dunne makes a point of putting in there early that he's been denied press credentials by the team, but hey no big deal. He speaks with 25 disgruntled ex colleagues and pretends it's investigative reporting? McDermott has no relationship with his offensive personnel. Mitch answered that and so did Josh Allen todayhttps://buffalonews.com/sports/bills/buffalo-bills-josh-allen-sean-mcdermott-relationship-nfl/article_116e7cea-99ee-11ee-8eee-db5236d329df.html For starters. I suspect all of Dunne's sources and incidents are from 2017 and 2019 and there was no investigation, just talking to ex-personnel, taking quotes and treating them as gospel. No opposing point of view. For those who paid for the articles, was there an opposing point of view, quotes or evidence? We already know some of the accusations are completely false. McDermott has changed a lot since the early years. Nate Peterman. Never going for it on fourth down. And this year taking more chances on defense late in the game. He still needs to develop that, but he's doing it. That for me means everything. Growth. He had never been a head coach before this job. He's made mistakes but I'm cutting him the slack. Especially since his current team is standing up for him.

Good point nate- Mahomes’ lack of scrambling is the difference in the game imo.

What a difference an OC makes. It feels like we just replaced Nate Hackett in here.

To be fair tons of kids are bullied no matter what your last name is Doesn't make it right but I guarantee there was a hundred other kids at orchard Park getting bullied Every single professional coach who has a child whether they're a football coach or basketball coach or a hockey coach etc Has to deal with stuff like that You don't think Nate hackett's kids probably get roasted in New York City because how inept his dad is? They are probably massive targets It's not just a buffalo thing

Now do 2023 alone. I was listening to the Locked On Podcast from yesterday with Joe Marino, who had Nate Geary on as a guest. Anyone not familiar with Geary... dude knows his stuff. Geary said that Josh Allen (as of yesterday) has the 2nd best TD:TO ratio in 2023 and it's pretty much ignored by everyone. You did the math since 2018. Do the math for this year alone. Pretty much shatters your narrative as far as 2023 goes.

In the Wild Card Round that season, the Chiefs played the Steelers in a close, hotly-contested matchup. The Chiefs went down 18-10 with under 10 minutes to go in the game. Smith then led a seven-minute, 15-play touchdown drive to get KC within two points with 2:43 left on the clock. Smith and company just needed a two-point conversion to tie the game, and they got it when the Chiefs QB found Demetrius Harris in the end zone. However, NFL referee Carl Cheffers (No. 51) threw a flag and called a controversial holding call on Chiefs left tackle Eric Fisher. The next attempt failed. Ben Roethlisberger got the ball back, the Steelers got a 1st-down, and Big Ben took three knees to end the game. After the game, Travis Kelce didn’t hold back. The then-budding star said if NFL referees “want to take over the game and make it their own platform, there’s nothing you can do about it.” Kelce vehemently asserted it wasn’t a hold on Fisher and then went on to crush Cheffers in a classic rant that could only have come from the outspoke tight end. “[We] just got out jugulars ripped out because ref felt bad for James Harrison falling on the ground,” Kelce fumed. “It’s ignorance. The ref, No. 51, shouldn’t even be able to wear a zebra jersey ever again. He shouldn’t even be able to work at f***ing Foot Locker.”' https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2023/01/31/super-bowl-referee-carl-cheffers-stats [limited free views] "Based on Carl Cheffers Stats, Expect Lots of Flags and the Under in Super Bowl LVII" "According to BetArizona.com, which was kind enough to send me some stats, Cheffers ranked first in total penalties called per game this season at 12.59. Cheffers also led all NFL refs in penalties called last season. He also was first in total yards in penalties given per game at 109.94. Cheffers and his crew (which will be different for the Super Bowl) also called 21 pass interferences this season, which ranked second among NFL refs."

I really don't understand the belief that Rodgers is super loyal to people like Nate Hackett and Tim Boyle. Boyle played two years with Rodgers, he was third string one year and second string the next. Rodgers probably barely knew Boyle existed. Same with Hackett. He was OC for two years with Rodgers and didn't even call plays, Matt Lefleur did. This year Hackett's offense has scored 10 TDs all season, the same as the Dolphins scored in one game. Hackett's offenses have been historically bad for two years in a row. Why would Rodgers refuse to play without Hackett and Boyle?

Has Nate even skated on thick ice??? Ever???

https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/jets-will-dump-tim-boyle-for-brett-rypien Is this a good/bad/no sign of Rodgers sticking around next year? As his boy just got cut. It also could mean Nate Hackett is on thinner ice. Thoughts?

Head Coach: Tom Flores Offensive Coordinator: James Lofton Defensive Coordinator: Jim Cheyunski Special Teams Coordinator: Steve Tasker Offensive Line Coach: Jim Ritcher Wide Receiver Coach: Eric Moulds Tight Ends Coach: Pete Metzelaars Quarter Back Coach: Ryan Fitzpatrick Running Backs Coach: Fred Jackson Defensive Line Coach: Ted Washington Linebackers Coach: Bryce Paup Safeties Coach: Henry Jones Defensive Backs Coach: Butch Byrd Cornerbacks Coach: Nate Clements

You know you're right. I didn't count that year cuz it was total purge and reload year and I didn't realize Josh started/played in that many games. I remember going to two games that year. The Bears when Nasty Nate started and the Cheats when Derek Anderson started. Then there was also the legendary Barkley start vs the Jets. That was an ugly but necessary season that catapulted us into 4 straight playoff seasons, hopefully 5 or more.

Don't be knockin' Leodis "MAH MAN" Boomhauer. My picks: Head Coach - Joe DeLamilleure Offensive Coordinator - Frank Reich Defensive Coordinator - Jim Haslett Special Teams Coordinator - Mark Pike Offensive Line Coach - Kent Hull Wide Receiver Coach - Andre Reed Tight Ends Coach - Pete Metzelaars Quarter Back Coach - Ryan Fitzpatrick Running Backs Coach - Fred Jackson Defensive Line Coach - Ted Washington Linebackers Coach - Shane Conlan Safeties Coach - Mark Kelso Defensive Backs Coach - Nate Odomes Cornerbacks Coach - Antoine Winfield, Sr.

Since his arrival here his defense has very seldom ever closed out a game and has given up numerous leads. Their ranking is nothing more than window dressing as it points to a choke coach when it matters. My largest issue is that I have a serious probem with his statements to the media as we will learn from it. IMO hes a liar. Plus,l his teams have always been undisciplined and he doesnt learn squat. That includes 13 seconds. His calls of time outs for his defense 9 / 10 times results in disaster for Buffalo. I cannot belive as to what this man is thinking but Andy Reid saw it back in the day and trashed him right off the team. I also recall as that he just couldnt wait to get rid of Tyrod Taylor and push Mr. religion on his sleeve; Nate Peterman. This coach throws more people under the bus and I wonder if he really worships Satan as this team cant get a break. Please leave sir.

49ers are the best in the league but eagles and chiefs are right there. I’d kill to be in the Rams position. I just want one trophy. Nate Geary nailed it on his show. You can’t fight fate. That miraculous FG was always going to go in. We are just cursed. You knew that FG was going to go in too deep down in your soul if you were being honest, just admit it. There was never a doubt. If it was against any of the other franchises, there would’ve been some drama with it. It’s an awful feeling knowing it’s just not meant to be.

No real NFL coach is having a sub .500 record with this roster after our soft portion of the schedule. You are crazy or drunk. I'm not talking about Nate Hackett.

McDermott thought Nate Peterman was not only a rosterable QB, but starting caliber. So I would say luck definitely has something to do with finding our way to Allen.

He should feel guilty about bringing Nate Hackett to NY.

Nathaniel Can't Hackett But Rodgers wants him, the ayahuasca gave him some visions about Nate being the guy for a sb run and the GM/HC wouldn't have the balls to rightfully fire this clown

Agree. Still have question's if Matt LaFleur or was it Nate Hackett running the offense or creating plays for Packers.
