Not saying fire the guy if the defense gets torched again, but I think the strategy of loading up everywhere on defense will need to change. The Chiefs were head and shoulders above the bills as a franchise when the bills got Allen The chiefs were well ahead of the Bills as a winning team with good players The bills had to play catch-up and we are finally there 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNabb and his QBs were nothing like Josh Allen, not even comparable. If he only gets 1 with Mahomes, that's a failure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Dungy didn't win it in Tampa... fans are fickle. Both those franchises went on to win Super Bowls before the coach did lol Dungy win 1 with prime Manning (vs Rex Grossman mind you)... he consistently choked in the playoffs. Incredibly overrated head coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it takes as much luck as talent to win the whole thing The greatest Thrower of a football ever Dan Marino has zero Super Bowls… And played with one of the greatest coaches It’s tough to win 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that was with the thoroughly adequate Alex Smith at QB. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Reid lost a few AFCC games at home. That worked against him, obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocCityRoller Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 A lot of talking heads, like Collin Cowherd, are making this a big deal this post season and during the coaching carousel. This is probably the genesis for a lot of this type of chatter. Cowherd makes some interesting arguments, but the whole Belichcik-Brady combo and 2 decades of near dominance kind of throws a wrench in the argument.

McDermott took our team that hasn’t gone to the playoffs in 17 years… gone five out of six… He is a top notch leader of men who is also a good football coach … he has everything to be a SB coach even if it hasn’t worked out yet He’s absolutely one of the top five or seven coaches in the league 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were 2 huge chokers in that era. Andy Reid and Wade Philips. Most thought neither would ever win a ring. I still believe Reid has that choke in him and it’s dying to get out. We saw it tonight with that terrible challenge. Put the game in his hands, and he’ll certainly choke it away.

Milano MaY be a fringe impact / difference maker. If what you say is true, how does one explain the struggles when Edward is out, Poyer or actually even Morse on offense. The defense has has different players step up at various points. Even before Von, Groot made Mahomes life tough in last seasons games. Elam made several plays last week. We all know what Hyde has done in his time. Don’t seem horrible for a choir boy team. They are relevant again after how long? People act like every first/second round players drafted turn into all stars. Biggest myth out there. Can you name all the defensive all star teams that have won the SB the last 4 years or just offensive players who get the credit for the points and not good field position after a turn over or holding the other team to zero after a possession. It’s a team sport. 🤷🏼♂️ relax, enjoy the ride and don’t blink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnNord Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 2 hours ago, balln said: I said after rams game. All the pressure is on McD this year. They had Von , offense looked unstoppable , he has to win the Super Bowl. And I’m sorry 13 seconds matters still. That was on him , the D , Leslie , special teams. That was his “situational football” blunder. I wanted him fired , retain Daboll. You have an elite qb , the game is moving toward O w rules ect. I knew it was never gonna happen cuz Terry just happy they aren’t a losing football team. But we’re looking for a championship team. On one hand , no Daboll , Von , hyde - oh well bills had a good season can be explained if they lose on the other hand - Nah. You gotta win McD. And if you lose youR D , coaching decisions better not be the reason Losing Von was tremendous though. The Bills lost the one guy who was supposed to put them over the edge. You have to have an element of luck to win the Super Bowl - especially w/ injuries, and that loss is extremely unlucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying fire the guy if the defense gets torched again, but I think the strategy of loading up everywhere on defense will need to change. As much as I hate to admit it, Mahomes is the better QB. He is more even kilter and protects the ball better. As close as they are in many areas, that gives Mahomes the edge. With that said, I wouldn’t trade Josh for Mahomes…he fits in so well with the city and who cares he isn’t quite as good as a Mahomes overall, he still gives us a GREAT shot at what we’ve all been wanting!

Everyone is dealing with injuries, especially on the AFC side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't blow it in the playoffs if you don't make the playoffs. Fans always look to the unknown mystery candidate to solve all our problems. So long as we consistently make the playoffs and win playoff games, no changes need to be made. Its that simple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistofFate Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 4 hours ago, ArtVandalay said: Should give us an advantage vs offenses but we shall see. We have the best QB (shouldn't be an argument with a hobbled Mahomes) and a defensive coach. Either this recipe works this year or never. Bengals have a tattered OLine, Mahomes has 1 leg, will not get another opportunity like this, let's get it. Put up or shut up. To be honest, every single qb left is playing much better than Josh right now. He needs to put up a big day or it's over for us. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reid made McNabb into a PB QB. Not the other way around imo. They lost to GSOT Rams in 01. By like 4 points or something. They lost to the 02 Bucs historic D. They lost to the much better team (Patriots) in Super Bowl. Reid made Smith a PB QB after he looked like a bust in SF. Made the PO four times with him BEFORE Mahomes started. I think Reid was a HOFer before winning a Super Bowl. Yes, there is no question that Mahomes makes it easier. But the guy was a great coach from the start imo. Let's put it this way: Reid made the postseason with a rejuvenated Vick he turned around. Alex Smith. Henne looked good out there today. The supposed top coach of all time has done.....nothing without Tom Brady. Note: I am a Bills & Football fan too. I lived in Philly. Those people think you did a miserable job if there wasn't a SB win. They look at it as all or nothing. Without any regard for the fact there is another team on that other sideline. I want to add that I am not arguing with you. I am going against what the media, Philly people, and others have always said about Reid.
