Definition of insanity

Yes, hiring some inexperienced kid who is suddenly going to magically beat the historically dominant Reid/Mahomes/Spagnuolo combo is outside the realm of possibility.

Hire Spagnola as head coach.  Weakens the Chiefs and our defense would improve.

The definition of insanity is having Mack Hollins be the go-to guy. Where are all these pieces? This is a GM and coaching failure. I think this go around Beane deserves more of the blame than in previous years..

We got to the AFCCG and were a drop and a bad officiating moment from winning and going to the SB... you want to blame a GM for that? Shouldn't we be saying he's put together a pretty solid team? 

 

We were all expecting a mini rebuild and step back this year, right?

It might work if Spagnuolo had any interest in leaving a franchise that is making him wealthy and filling his fingers with SB rings.

Unless you have an actual viable solution, this is nothing but more complaining.

They've arguably been the second best team in the NFL for the last 5 years and would probably have a couple Lombardis if it weren't for the Chiefs.

Mahomes/Reid/Spagnuolo are not only the best combo in the NFL but one of the best in its entire history.

What is your realistic solution to get past them, because blowing it all up ain't it.

My solution isn't to fire McDermott- But I would hire an outside DC to change this defence.
 

This undersized/heavy zone scheme just doesn't hold up in the big games against KC

Id rather take a chance on someone who can grow and become a better coach than Mcdermott...honestly it couldnt be that hard. 

 

Who is this mysterious young stranger and how long will he take to "grow" into one of the best coaches in NFL history?

Finding a coach to improve on the 2nd best team in the NFL so that he can beat the best team in the NFL isn't that hard?

Sorry, but you are simply living in fantasy land.

They were not running heavy zone schemes last night.

The Bills started turning over their roster last offseason. It is a work in progress.

Agreed but worth a shot.  Maybe Spags wants a shot to prove he can win one on his own.

I'll say the same thing I've said in the other threads...

 

Link your posts calling for McDermott in 2016.

 

No one knew about McDermott, but we all knew Rex had to go. Naming the replacement isnt on us fans.

I know they weren't- Which exactly speaks to the issue.

 

They build and conduct a heavy zone team all year- But in the playoffs they change to man cause you have to against the great QBs.

 

That should tell you everything you need to know about how flawed their system is

There were 7 job opening this off season if my mind serves me correctly.

 

How many interviews did Spagnola get?

We are just going to be in disagreement that Mcdermott is vital to our playoff success. 

 

Because to me this is a playoff team with whatever coach. So there isnt much of a gap between McD and the next guy.

Being scheme versatile is not a flaw, imo.

Who is this mysterious young DC/first-time-HC who will come in and end the 20 year drought with Tyrod Taylor as QB his first year? No one out there can do that.

 

See, anyone can make that argument.

There’s no logic in this. I’ve seen it many times, but it makes no sense that you’d expect another fan to be able to tell you who the next outstanding NFL head coach is going to be. Owners have resources for that. I don’t have to be a professional chef to tell you something is wrong with a meal I got at a restaurant. Ditto when some of us see a problem with a coach or coaching staff member. 

 

I am not even advocating for firing anyone at this time. But there have been issues with our HC and staff that persist. If/when it comes time to make a change and we need to find a new HC, then I’d point to several successful HCs that have been hired in the last few seasons - Demeco Ryans, Dan Campbell, Dan Quinn, Kevin O’Connell immediately come to mind. They’re out there to be had if/when needed.

Comparing McDermott running the 2nd best team in the NFL to the Ryan circus that needed to end is a false equivalency, imo.

Those teams all stink.  The Bills are a piece away.  That piece is Spags.

At the beginning of the season this team according to the experts weren't even going to be in the conversation when it came to winning their division and they were coached through all of the injury's this season to come out to be in the AFC Championship game .

 

Every one you ask that knows football out side of the Fans will tell you Beane and McD are amongst the best in the game, far from perfect but i'd say in the top 5 at the very least .

 

As you said their are glaring weaknesses on the team that become known DURING the season and you have to COACH around them and THEY DID enough to get this team that were suppose to be basement dwellers to the AFC Championship game, went 10 & 0 at home this season, won their division AGAIN .

 

But 1 thing hasn't changed and won't for years to come, the Micheal Jordan/Tom Brady of football and his coach are standing in the way & will be standing in the way every year ...

 

And if you can't or won't see that i'm not sure what to tell you .

It doesn’t matter what the talking heads expectations were. All that matters is the final result and the Bills final result seems to be the same every year

You make that argument but at the end of it, that guy wasn't good enough to beat the historically great Reid/Mahomes/Spagnuolo combo.

There is nothing in my mind to indicate that the next guy will be that historically good either.

No its not. The definition of insanity is "The condition of being insane; a state of mind that impedes the ability to think, reason, or behave in ways that are considered normal, esp. one caused by mental illness."

I'm not comparing the teams or situation. I'm comparing what the fans knew at the time since the question keeps getting pushed back on us "Well who do you replace him with?" as if that is a trump card that ends the debate.

 

We (us civilians) arent privy to that information. But we all can see a change is needed. The same we could in 2016.
