78thealltimegreat Posted June 15, 2023 Posted June 15, 2023 I was watching some old stuff on the NBA and it kinda hit me the parallels the Bills have to the pre Phill Jackson Bulls. Doug Collins their coach took over a franchise that was in disarray even after drafting one Michael Jordan two years earlier. They became a consistent playoff team under Doug but couldn’t get over the hump til management decided Doug just wasn’t the guy and brought in Phill. Seems like the National Media is starting to ask if you have this all world QB why haven’t you gotten farther and now it appears after today the National Media is starting to kinda zero in on Sean as the scapegoat in the Steff Diggs stuff. I like Sean alot and remember the debacle he took over from Rex but have we reached the point where if they don’t win it this year do Terry and Brandon say it’s time to go in a different direction? 4 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 Quote

GunnerBill Posted June 15, 2023 Posted June 15, 2023 Brandon has ZERO power to decide to go in a different direction. How are people STILL confused about the Bills heirarchy seven years into this regime? Will Terry? It would take more than 1 more year of playoff losses. 4 1 3 1 4 Quote
Doc Brown Posted June 15, 2023 Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) It sort of tells you something when you have to turn to basketball as your best analogy. A defensive minded head coach with a top five quarterback statistically for three years with this much regular season success is pry Tony Dungy with the Colts. Starting in 2002 he went 10-6 (lost WC round), 12-4 (lost AFC Championship game), and 12-4 (lost divisional game) in his first three years with Peyton. McDermott starting in 2020 (when Josh became Josh) went 13-3 (lost AFC championship game), 11-6 (lost division game), and 13-3. The Patriots and Steelers would be our Chiefs and Bengals in this silly comparison. It took him two more seasons to finally win a Super Bowl. The comparison isn't perfect but it's all I got.

Aussie Joe Posted June 15, 2023 Posted June 15, 2023 I was going to say no… but then I google the guy and see he played on the US basketball team first loss in Olympic history at the olympics in 1972 in terrible circumstances to bitter rival Soviet Union…in the last second… .. which is very 13 seconds like or wide right …or I believe the term we use here is very “Billsy” so yes…. Let’s embrace our brother Doug.. One of us!!.. One of us!! 1 Quote
