Buffalo_Stampede Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 21 minutes ago, MJS said: Wow, if it is true that Dorsey has been groomed to be the next OC when Daboll leaves, that would suck. But this is what happens to the best teams. Coaches get poached. Players get overpaid in free agency. You have to overcome losing coaches and players and keep the ball rolling. It's why drafting and developing talent is so important. Hope Leslie Frasier and Brian Daboll get a real shot this year. They deserve it. If Dorsey has OC lined up in Buffalo he wouldn't leave to be OC somewhere else. If Dorsey leaves it likely means Daboll isn't leaving or the OC job replacing Daboll isn't a lock.

Lots of oc’s , qb.coaches , and lots of d coordinators could work with this talent on this team. As long as Mcd and Beane stay in sync and fill the roster, I’m all for new blood in the thought process. Josh is no longer “ a project “ , he is a star. Lots of guys can be creative with him. Probably just as well or bettter than Daboll who has one good game for every couple that are called with no identity or consistency. Have you forgotten we have no run gsme ? Who do you think is responsible for that ? Very expensive d line yet little in the way of sacks or premiere edge rushers. We lost a game where a rookie Qb completed one pass and how is that vaulted run d doing! All I am saying is change can be good. We are 9-6 with talent that should have been in the run for a first seed and a SB challenge. Let’s see how it plays out , but we have had our share of questionable coaching and maybe it’s time for a change with a more mature qb and roster. Nothing is permanent in this league, so that’s the least of oir worries. We have a top 3:qb , we will be competitive as long as we have him. Everyone should have "forgotten we have no run game." It was never true and it's even less so now as they seem to have remembered to use it and improved it. Daboll's been excellent, and they seem to have hit a groove now. The coaching has been very good here and continues to be so. Which is why people are sniffing around these guys. My one concern is that they can now interview guys early, even in playoff teams, and that could lead to divided attention. It'll be interesting to see how that all plays out. Change can be good? Yeah, I'm with you there. It'll depend on who we get, obviously, but the third-rounders would certainly help over the next couple of years.

Strong noodle. 49 - 50 yards in the air, and about 54 yards run by Owens. So most of it was not in the air. He threw it from 3-4 yards deep in the end zone and Owens caught it on the Bills 46. 49 yards in the air, maybe 50 if you want to give it the benefit of the doubt. 98 yards from scrimmage. 54 yards running. Most of it was not in the air. And Owens caught it at waist height. Was it an excellent throw? Yeah, certainly. But he had to put a lot of air under it to get it that far. In any case, Fitz did not have a very strong arm. He was a good man and a gutsy smart QB but he did not have a strong arm for an NFL QB.

Coach Tuesday Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 None of this concerns me. Coaches don’t count towards the salary cap - there is no excuse for failing to have top-level coaching and training staffs. Plus small changes in scheme can be good, and it’s good for the “process” for coaches to come here, “reach the best versions of themselves,” and get promotions. Helps attract more good coaches. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot to mention that I watched the Raiders game last week. Carr got dinged and went into the medical tent. Broadcast team monitored situation and they showed Peterman warming up. Opponent getting ready to punt and it’s pointed out that Peterman has put his helmet on and standing near coach. Carr comes out of tent and tuns out onto the field. 😂 So, did they dodge a bullet?

Strong noodle. lol one play where he gave it everything he had and you want to point to one single time... he had a noodle arm and that pass shows it b.c it showed how much he had to put into it just to get it that far. Fitz has been in the league forever and people still can't accept who he really was at a QB. As just a player he was awesome b.c he had the ability to make some special plays but his noodle arm would never let him into the playoffs. Fitz curse, NEVER made the playoffs. He had chances to win and get in but would throw multiuple INT's in critical times of the game b.c of his noodle arm.

Magox Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 13 hours ago, GunnerBill said: Yea he has only had 3 top 5 defenses in 5 years Leslie Frazier. He must suck. Frazier has been great. The Bills defense has consistently been a good defense specially so against the pass. With that said, I believe McDermott also plays a role in that and I believe that he and Beane would find a good replacement for him. Enough so that if that trade rumor were true, I would jump all over that. The Bills are heading into more challenging cap territory and 2 early mid round picks could potentially land a low cost starter, which is what Buffalo will need to do to stay in their SuperBowl window. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh it is McDermott's scheme, no question. But Leslie runs it so well because they learned it together under Jim Johnson. McDermott has taken over playcalling once in 5 years for all the people who think that happens often. I am sure the Bills will find a replacement but make no mistake Frazier is a premier defensive coordinator in the NFL. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwhit34 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 There are position coaches both on offense and defense that would be in line to move up to OC or DC, which I expect to happen if Frazier or Daboll leave for HC jobs. Couple that with the facts that Allen is still the QB and it's largely McDermott's defensive concepts and the offensive and defensive playbooks remain virtually the same, with the usual offseason tweaks. Also if Dorsey is offered an OC job he probably waits to see if Daboll stays or goes. If Daboll gets a HC position and they offer Dorsey the OC job I'm guessing he's taking it so he can stay with Allen. Proving that he can step in and the offense doesn't miss a beat is his best path to a HC job vs. being the OC for a bottom third NFL team.

jethro_tull Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Coach poaching is yet another thing to deal with during a playoff run. It affects the coaches, their focus and the team dynamic and no doubt needs to be dealt with effectively or it will become a distraction. McD did an excellent job proclaiming that he is happy for them and welcomes greater success. The NFL should disallow in-season coach poaching.

NFL should disallow any coach hiring except for emergencies (i.e. Coach died or sent to jail) during playoffs.

Oddly enough, I believe this interview process right now is new and supposed to alleviate those issues. Ironically the Bills proposed this past offseason that interviews should begin after the conference championships and hiring should take place after the Super Bowl. The rest of the teams didn’t go for it because they felt it would set them back for free agency/draft planning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
