The WGR calls on one bills live today.

 

Good Lord.  

 

 

 

What about them?

Seems like a stretch. 

I don’t love the comparison, but the fact that the two seed was traditionally granted a bye week deserves some consideration here. The Bills have had the 2 seed 3 times ( this season a fourth) under McD. Playing an extra playoff game does matter and wasn’t a requirement in the past.

No, it's about right. Marvin Lewis is way off. Marty isn't close. Maybe Dungy in Tampa? But other than that, it's Reid in Philly

Not sure why it has to be anyone but McD has yet to get to Reid’s level. He just hasn’t.

they are entertaining.  A guy just called and said the bills will play Baltimore unless seattle can beat them and then got all upset about where the ball is spotted if there is a 15 yard penalty at the 29.  

 

Day drinkers I guess?

5 times. But the fact is, McDermott has consistently gotten to the Divisional round. So, while Reid made it one game farther at times, their paths were pretty much Identical 


Difference being I don’t think Reid was ever accused of “squandering” the prime years of Donovan McNabb. 
 

Finding Josh Allen is a double edged sword for McDermott. Any success he has is always going to be tempered by the fact that his QB is an alien MVP, and if you can’t win with a guy like that? People will be quick to assume you’re the one holding him back from a championship. Especially if you don’t have a decade of prior successful head coaching to point to.

to be fair, Reid didn't have to play mahomes.  He had a hard enough time beating Jake Delhomme, Brad Johnson and Kerry Collins.

The point isn’t the number of games you played but the quality of the competition. You need look no further than this years expanded college playoff. Just because lesser teams are now playoff teams, it doesn’t equate to when only the best teams qualified.

I try listening but always turn in off real quick. The stupid calls from old people that want to reminisce about how great Tasker was and then proceed to say the dumbest sh*t ever.

McNabb also isn't the QB that Allen is either. Had he been Allen level, you probably would have heard that talk

Not now with the Super Bowl wins. I'm specifically referring to Reid in Philly. Not now

College football is not nearly as level a talent pool as the NFL, so I can’t say it’s apples to apples thing to look at the college playoff. I get the point about quality of competition, but that’s not always as simple as seeding. Would you prefer to face what would have been an 8 seed Cincinnati team and Joe Burrow, or a 5 seed Steelers team with Russell Wilson? Most NFL fans and observers would also agree that having an actual bye week ( not just resting some players in a week 18 game) in the playoffs is a huge deal. Because of this difference , there may not be a perfect comp for what McDermott has done so far. His playoff losses ( barring 2019) have been to what most consider the 2 other elite QBs in the AFC. His defenses have been deserving of criticism for sure.

This is pretty much going to define this weekend's game...best offensive EPA/play vs. best defensive EPA/play...

McDermott gets criticized for having Josh Allen and criticized for losing to QB’s equal or better than Josh Allen.

 

Make it make sense.

 

Just a Quick Look.

 

Andy Reid lost to the likes of Kerry Collins, Brad Johnson 2x, and Jake Delhomme in the playoffs.

Sounds almost like the playoffs is the time it ultimately becomes the truest sense of a team result… Shocker!

We’re just going in circles. I cannot believe ANYONE legitimately believes that McDs playoff record compares to Reid taking the Eagles to the championship game multiple times. Lots of homerism on here today.

Sean McDermott is one game under .500 in his postseason career.

Andy Reid was one game over .500 in his postseason career in Philly.

Their records are absolutely comparable.

Listened to a Air Raid Hour with Sal. The Broncos guys says that they don't have much of a run game or over the middle TE.

 

I like how that sounds

I think our defense matches up well vs what the Broncos like to do. We will see.
