GoBills808 Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago 1 hour ago, MJS said: What has LaPorta been doing this year? He has 300 yards and 2 TD's this year. Kincaid has more catches, yards, and the same amount of TDs. TE production is down all around the NFL this year. Travis Kelce hadn't done a lot until the past two weeks. When has he said that the key to offense is running the football? That doesn't sound like McDermott. He has said at times that we need to run the football better and that we need to play complimentary football. Do you have a quote? i mean laporta has been banged up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago 1 hour ago, BuffaloBillyG said: Yet year in and year out we see guys do just that. Ben Johnson, Dan Quinn and Bobby Slowik in particular have interviewed and later removed themselves from consideration for the last 3 years. Some guys need to take bad jobs because it's their only chance. Dave Culley. Mike Petine. But the top guys who are in demand can afford to wait on a better opportunity. As of now - the majority of the expected openings are terrible. Saints is probably the worst because of their cap situation. Jets isn't far off, bad cap, and either stuck with rodgers or have no QB. NYG might open up - no QB. Browns - stuck with watsons terrible deal, worst owner in NFL Bears - They have never had a good QB, and you're messing wtih like 100 years of history if you think you're the guy who can fix that Raiders - no qb and unless brady can turn it around, poor ownership Cowboys - have to deal with jerrah Jags - Probably the most interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sojourner Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago 2 hours ago, GunnerBill said: Except Johnson has passed jobs up two years in a row. He passed on interviewing there. The Washington job was his and he had an about face last minute and turned it down. It wasn't quite Josh McDaniels and Indy but it wasn't far off. That’s right. Remembered it incorrectly. Just did some reading, the report is he shot down the Panthers for an interview and declined the Washington job like you said. There’s more reports that the Seahawks is a job he declined to take also. The report was he notified several players during SB week that they had “unfinished business” and that he’d be returning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sound superstitious about the Bears, Certainly people would have said the same things about the Blls/Lions/Texans a few years ago and are now elite teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, tho Lions, with arguably the least wealthy ownership in the league seem to have got things going in remarkably short order.

TableDestoyer69 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago That job is a death knell for a career. Brutal situation through at least 2026 for the Saints. I'd put money on a coach like Flores or Vrabel who are desperate for another HC chance. Ben Johnson and Brady will get better opportunities if they're patient.

BigAl2526 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Suppose Brady does take the New Orleans gig, who is next in line for Bills OC. Another poster suggested Daboll. He's definitely on the hot seat in New York but hasn't been fired yet. Would he be the top choice of most posters here? Is there another name that Bills fans like, who is likely to be available if Daboll is not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think teams are looking at it more as yea it’s not the best offense but look what he’s had to work with most of the season nor saying it’s right or wrong but that’s likely the thought process Edited 3 hours ago by Generic_Bills_Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A top 5 QB, a pro bowl running, two good TEs (one a first round pick), a top o line unit, solid WRs? He had plenty to work with. We dont even run sweeps anymore.

Augie Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago 5 hours ago, Billz4ever said: At this rate, Josh is going to have a new OC every year. I am generally a McD supporter, but that’s the problem with a defensive oriented HC. If he has a good OC, the guy is gone before too long. If the HC is offensive minded, it’s much easier to keep a DC since most teams want offensive geniuses. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogblitz Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago 5 hours ago, Cray51 said: The Saints should absolutely go with Ben Johnson at this point. His offense has just produced a 6 game stretch that is incredible, and he would get something out of Carr and Kamara. I know a lot of people are high on this guy but I'm not as certain. Granted he has run a great offense in Detroit. But would he be a good Head Coach? There is some overlap but its a different skill set. And he has a stacked roster in Detroit with Goff, Gibbs, Montgomery, and LaPorta among others. probably wont have that anywhere else he may land.

I can’t keep up with this place 🤣. Amaris been healthy for 4 quarters where he saw like 30% of the snaps because he didn’t really know the playbook yet. Is Knox a good TE? Idk that the oline is ‘top’ it’s definitely good though…kc and Detroit are a tier above us there imo 2 minutes ago, reddogblitz said: I know a lot of people are high on this guy but I'm not as certain.

Their oline is ridiculous in Detroit…any decent OC could have good success there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogblitz Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago (edited) 5 hours ago, Bruffalo said: Which is why philosophically it doesn't make sense to have a defensive head coach with an elite QB. It worked with Brady and the Patriots but that seems to be the exception, not the rule. Worked with Tom Landry. He got to the SB with 2 different QBs and made the playoffs with 4 different ones. Granted he cheated but Bill Bellyache did pretty well with his QB. Mary Levy and John Harbaugh were both kicking teams coordinators. They seemed to do OK with their QBs. I think the offensive/defensive coach thing is over rated. How can you possibly be a good offensive coordinator without an intimate knowledge of defense and vice versa? You need a great Head Coach. Someone who can hire the right assistants, evaluate players, get the team psychologically ready to play, and make wise in game decisions.
