Jim Schwartz is Cleveland's "3rd rate" DC... just sayin'

And Matt Patricia as DC. I will bet my mortgage that the combine will win 3 Superbowls with Allen.

Sacks are really bad. Usually, they are drive killers. Luckily for the Bills, Josh Allen is really good at avoiding sacks. Like, REALLY good. And it's not as if he's lost a step. Yet he is being sacked at a very high rate this season: 7.1 percent, his highest rate since 2019. His offensive line is both very good and healthy, so I'm not blaming either him or the line. At any rate, note the rates in the last column below. He led the league in 2023 with the lowest sack rate, yet was even better last year: a ridiculously low 2.82 percent. Derek Carr was somehow the league leader but he missed nearly half the season, so I'm giving the crown to Allen. That means he basically led the league two years in a row at being the best QB in avoiding sacks. His sack rate this year is perhaps the strongest indictment there is of wide receiver talent and passing game design. Jeff Ulbrich taught the league that you can relentlessly blitz Allen (which the Dolphins did yesterday) without a ton of fear given the wide receiver talent and (possibly; I don't know enough) the passing game scheme. With regard to scheme, is Allen not being given answers in blitz situations? He used to absolutely DESTROY blitzes. Not this year.

Sorry, I said TD's but I was using total points. He has only had 2 seasons of his 12 years as OC/HC where he was top half in both points and yards. Of those 12 years, 6 were with Allen, Jones (current leader in passing yards), and Barkley...again, only figured a way to be top half in yards/points twice. That is bonkers. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/coaches/DaboBr0.htm

everybody "wants to win" That's not what separates the winners from the also rans though

I effing hate the Patriots, BUT, they has a system and a game plan each week and executed flawlessly. The only hiccup is that Josh isn't TB12 and doesn't lead the team like Brady did. Also, Belicheck made very questionable recruiting decisons along with personnel assignments (Matt Patricia as OC???) once Brady left.

No. I sit him the rest of the year. They aren't making the playoffs already with 9 losses. No reason to risk his health on a lost season

Since the bills make absolutely no sense they will probably go on a run against good teams and get Joe Brady hired somewhere next year haha I think mcd is kinda out of guys to promote on the off chance that happens 😂

Like I said, I love this kind of “thinking”.

Promoting within only works when you have had prior success and want to continue it. Not winning a Superbowl with Josh Allen isn’t the definition of success.

he'll be Belichick's OC somewhere, unless Belichick goes to the Giants

no, no, that thread is for talking heads who say bad things about the Bills. This thread is for talking heads who say good things. A list that includes Jeffri Chadiha and only Jeffri Chadiha.

Josh is media trained. He was defending Dorsey until the end as well.

Yes, Daboll is very good at scheming players open. So field goals don't mean anything anymore? Working with Brady you get the best of both worlds run and pass IMO. Teams around the league are giving up a ton of points by going for it on 4th down instead of taking the 3 points.

what a little pissant you are. Would you like me to send you the picture of me standing on the USS thunderbolt or the USS Sirocco installing military equipment that I designed and built with my two hands? Or maybe you would like me to send you the picture of me receiving the Copernicus Award as one of the Navy‘s top engineers? ***** off you self important prick.

And exactly why McD would never make the hire.

Nah im good on Daboll. He hates running the ball. James Cook would be a waste under him. Plus I don’t think Daboll and McD have the best relationship

Promotion from within only works if you measure them up with those not in the organization honestly. When you already decide who you want and conduct interviews to fulfill the Rooney Rule only, you're doing your whole hiring process a disservice.

What an as shole.

I will say it for like the 4th time in this thread. In Dabolls 12 years as HC/OC in the league, his offenses have only been in the top half of scoring and yards twice. TWICE. in his entire career. 12 years 4 years with Josh Allen 2 years with Jones (#1 in Passing Yards) and Barkley.

yeah it works against us. it's because our coaching staff are trash and they have zero game day presence

Marvin Lewis too

LOL I truly thought we would come back and win that one. In my defense, minus the Cook Redzone fumble and the Allen redzone INT we very well could have.

If he wasn’t such a prick I’m sure he’d get another job but he honestly might be following the Doug marrone model and have to take a role lower than oc.
