I would try to build around the strengths and good young core of my team. Not tear it down in the name of ***** cliches like "the process". 

 

So to recap, you know you want to do something drastic like fire everyone, but after that, you have no idea what should be done, only that you don't want to do what you perceive to be the problem when you fired everyone.

 

Sounds like a plan.

 

Not let's advance this: if you fire everyone, and replace everyone by not doing what your predecessor did, you would argue that if the new group isn't winning in the first year and a half, you fire everyone and start again, correct? Or do we trust your process? 

 

Apparently it can't be both, so walk us through this. No success after 18 months, and we start again?

Raiders have checked out on Gruden. Nobody on that defense was even trying. Made Mullens appear a lot better than he actually is, I'm sure. Put him up against a real defense that's actually going to play and it'll be a different story.

Plus a couple games of tape for the opposing D's to scrutinize for tendencies and he'll come back down to earth in a hurry, at least most likely.

I have no idea. 

 

I can tell you I wouldn't have hired a head coach before a GM.

 

I wouldn't have traded or allowed a DC turned inexperienced GM/HC to trade one of my best playmakers on offense in Sammy Watkins, and good young players such as Darby, Dareus, or Glenn.

 

I would've cut Nathan Peterman a long time ago.

you're obviously in the wrong line of work.

 

maybe you should apply for GM?

he's much better than you'd expect from a 2-7 team...

Nice try with the veiled accusations of racism on the part of the coaching staff and fan base. 

 

At least have the stones to come right out and say it. 

 

Eh... you forgot ownership. I don't want to fully accuse the coaching staff, really, it's just the HC if it.

 

I have no qualms about saying segments of the fanbase are racist. But you did, what most Bills fans do and lumped everyone together and used this as your identity.

 

So it hurts you. Someone else calls a Bills fan a racist, and I'd be like whatever. I know who I am. I think when it gets shown, you don't like it because the racists, they are always the ones who are sensitive to that.

 

So something about stones or whatnot. Such a B1LLZ MAFIA bro!!! Thing to say, go jump through a flaming table.

Kid had a good game. Cant take that away from him

 

Agreed. And may he fully enjoy his well deserved success. From what was being said about him last night he seems to be a great kid, smart and highly motivated. And he may have a future In some capacity as a QB in this league. He may even develop into a legit starter. Or maybe not. We certainly haven't seen enuf to even begin to know. 

So let's not get ahead of ourselves. The physical and intangible qualities he put on display yesterday are hardly unique.

All of the plays the SFran offence executed so well yesterday were scripted, the QB knew exactly where he was going with the ball before the snap, independently of pre (he did not audible once) and post snap coverage (not that it wound up mattering against a D specializing in just the right blown coverages). He did not once go through progressions.  This is hardly surprising given his raw rookie status. What we saw was a very well thought out and executed gameplan managed in part by what KS understood to be what this kid (and the rest of his O) was capable of doing and nothing more than that. It tells us very little about how he (and it) would perform if for example adjustments were required because the gameplan was not working and the QB was under pressure to be the difference maker.

He looks to have a decent arm and to be reasonably accurate with it. Most of his throws were relatively easy although a few (including one redzone toss good for a TD to his TE) were actually very good. JMO but I wouldn't trust Tyrod to have made those throws, but then Tyrod is not really much good in the passing game.

This, Shanahan>>>>Daboll

Right. 

Where are the screens in the Bills O?

How about good crossing patterns? Why the hell can't the Bills just go steal a good playbook?

Even their running plays were better designed.

welp, at least we all now know what the B stands for...

 

Most people know what the B stands for. Odell isn't the first ODB. My original username was going to big baby jesus but was never cleared, which is fine, you're a self admitted redneck. So I'm sure you can't work the Google. Wu tang rapper.

Next year the 9ers will have 3 competent QB's in Garopollo, Beathard, & Mullen, if Mullen continues to play the way he did tonight there could be a good QB to be had i hope that Bean is paying attention to what goes on out in SF ! 

 

Any one of those QB's could be a good get ! If Garopollo is the starter either of the other 2 could be a really good get weather it be a back up or the possibility of a starter ...

The problem for the 49'ers is that Garoppolo has got to be the starter for them.

 

They are on the hook with giving him over $70 million guaranteed in his contract.

Influenced by that garbage on the NY Daily News the other day written by one of their many racists were you? Get a life. The Bill's aren't racist...but it sounds like you might be.

 

Well I've never read the NY Daily News. What's that? Is it one of those things you'd mistake for a newspaper but is all gossip when you're in line at a grocery store?

 

Anyways I'm more interested in the me being racist thing. Go for it. You won't.

Do the Falcons miss him?

Yes indeed :thumbsup:

 

And to add to that thought, I would bet money they would rather have Shanahan as HC instead of Dan Quinn

You can only laugh.

 

I'll admit I didn't watch the game, so I didn't see if he deserves the praise.

 

Shanahan is making it a habit of making QBs look good. I think he can coach, wasn't a fan of his dad. 

 

What's his list now?

RG3, they did ruin hin though

Kirk Cousins

Matt Ryan, never trust a man with two first names

Jimmy G

Beathard

Mullens

 

None sustained success to this point so maybe I'm overstating it. 

 

No sustained success but damn all his QBs have performed great for him, certainly not coincidence!

 

His example and how quickly the Bears (and Trubinski) turned their offense around gives hope for Allen in 2019

Let me ask you a question, would you have given Rex another year for the sake of continuity and not starting again?

 

Why do these guys get more time than Rex for the mess of a roster that THEY created? 

 

 

 

 

If you honestly don't understand this...

Raiders defense is awful. They were awful with Mack, they are worse without him.

Gruden might be a tv star but he's always sucked as a HC. That was Dungy's team he took over. He'll regret leaving MNF as this obvious tank goes south with Oakland season ticket holders.
