Motorin' Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) 9 minutes ago, WhoTom said: They said "Playoff Caliber" before they made the playoffs ... and then they made the playoffs. I've got no problem with them saying "Championship Caliber" at this point. The idea that this regular season proves the Bills can't or won't become championship caliber in future seasons, and that they need to fire McDermott, is ludicrous. We don't know what the future will bring. I'm expecting significant progress across multiple domains over the next few years. Progress on the overall roster via FA and draft. Progress on the field as young players develop. And progress from coaching staff as far as in game strategy goes. I also expect set backs and bumps on the road. But I'd rather give this group, Bean, McD ect. the reigns for better or worse for as long as possible. We might get 1 championship in the next 10 years. But continuing the last 20 years of firing, hiring, firing, hiring, to satsify fans like the OP will be lucky to bring 1 playoff appearance in the next 10 years. Edited January 2, 2020 by Motorin'

Say When... Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 47 minutes ago, Gugny said: It's so cute how you say, "till he gets his QB to replace Brady." It's really not that simple. in a sense, with BB, i think it is. I strongly believe BB can plug in any average + talent @ QB and his system will take over the rest, just needs someone dedicated, above average intelligence and can make a few throws with timing. BB doesn't need a Brees, Rogers, Wilson, etc. for me it's the system BB has in place, and i think that's what scares Brady the most is if he leaves before BB someone else will come in and be just as successful and risk tarnishing his legacy in the perception of the public. 1

Williams lasted 4 years never winning the series. And then when they replaced Williams they won. So your example of Cox is not a great one. And Cox took ATLANTA to many World Series. I think 5. So not so bad.
Just in Atlanta Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 The pieces are there and this is the best team we've seen in two decades. The Pats dynasty, meanwhile, is breathing its last gasp. The Jets have ole googly-eyed Gase at the helm and the Dolphins are two years away. Enjoy the ride while it lasts. 1

Am I doing this right? I think you have to throw in that they also keep Wade rotting away on the practice squad, have shackled Allen from putting up big stats, have the worst OC to every hold the position in the NFL, have the worst kicker/punter combo in the league and can't move forward because the league won't allow owners to own 2 franchises in the same city in different league's and you have covered it all......

Happy Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 I think the OP is reading too much into "Championship Caliber." It is just McD raising the bar now that they are "Playoff Caliber." It doesn't mean this team and coaches are "Championship Caliber" yet; I don't think they are at this point. I assume "The Process" is what the OP is getting at here, which is supposed to be everyone (including coaches) improving. Through "The Process" you get to "Championship Caliber"; at least that is how I interpret all these McD platitudes. 1 1
KD in CA Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Best team in 20 years and people still post crap like this....amazing. Some people just love to be miserable. 2

Hey, if you don't win 6 Super Bowls in your first 2 years as a head coach there's no chance you'll ever develop a championship caliber team. 2 1

He's a keeper IMO. You don't often land coaches this good. 3

Jobot Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 The Bills are at a caliber where they can realistically beat any team that lacks a top 5 defense. Allen is 1-year away from removing that as a limitation of the team. If we can avoid Baltimore, NE, and San Fran, then we have a legitimate chance to win. 1

I would love to see Henry cram it down their throats and control the clock. You truly believe a new stadium is coming? As much as I love going to New Era a new stadium is needed. I think something like Lucas Oil Field would be perfect here. The price tag for that build was around 730 mil which is 880 mil in todays inflated market. Building that in NY with higher costs would put it at a billion imo. Can this town afford that? The Pegulas would have to pay a portion as Indy ownership paid 100 mil towards Lucas. Bills 34, I’m betting the State would cough up half if the Pegulas basically will revitalize the downtown area, and probably build a couple more hotels. I may be delusional, but if I were Terry and Kim, I’d go to Goodell and say we’ll build this and invest in this area, but you have to cough up a SB in the future. I couldn’t agree more than a Lucas Oil stadium although I’d love for it to be retractable so when Miami comes up in December we open the roof. By 2023, we should have four winning seasons, and much more national coverage. Good take though bud.
