    Joe Brady Officially Promoted as Bills OC!

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    I'm neither excited nor disappointed in this hiring. I was resigned to it. It felt inevitable given the m.o. during this period of time with McDermott under Pegula. If Brady sucks, the Bills are in trouble. If he's very good, he will be hired away as a HC somewhere after a year or two and Josh will be on to yet another OC. Rinse & repeat. It's the single biggest reason I wanted McD replaced by an offensive minded coach. This will be a never-ending cycle for 17's career as long as he is elite. Any owner in this day and age of football who still considers hiring a DC as his HC is, at best, completely unaware of how the game is now played or, at worst, acutely obtuse.

    Falcons fans seem to be taking this well…

     

    My favorites are the ones saying they need Governor Kemp to get involved and ban the Falcons GM from the state of Georgia. 

     

     

     

    It's a no win situation for the fans. Even if Morris turns out to be decent, they will have to endure a never-ending revolving door of OCs like Bills fans. I can't believe that any front office in this day and age would even consider hiring a defensive-minded person as their HC. Have fun, Atlanta.

    I think the color Red should be  colora non grata today in the stadium today just sayin'

     

    It wouldnt be my first choice. 

     

    I mean, a little common sense should prevail, no? Red is KC's primary color...no es bueno hoy!

    What I definitely remember is, that the Bills won, and the guy was carried into the stadium. He was literally unconscious, but he didn't miss the game. I'm probably wrong about OJ being on the team. It was early in the season, like the 3rd game. It was clear skies and a full moon. 

     

    So, if the game was a win and in the '70s, then you either saw the Chiefs in 1973 (very topical considering the opponent today) or the Raiders in 1974 (the Ahmad Rashad game). Those '70s teams were pretty sad with winning records in only '73, '74 (playoffs), & '75 and only 7 MNF appearances (2-5 record). That decade was my indoctrination into the Bills as a little kid. The kids today have it much easier with these Bills. 😁

    The first game I went to, Fergy was the QB. OJ was on the team. It was a Monday Night game against the Dolphins. I was like 7. I saw a guy being carried into the stadium, carried by 4 friends, each grabbing a limb. Bills won in convincing fashion. I remember my parents had season tickets for the first year of Rich Stadium. When it was raining out, I went to school in my mom's Bills rain poncho with the standing Buffalo helmet on the front.

     

    All I want is one Super bowl victory. I have a calm feeling about today's game. Buffalo will win today. We will be in Vegas and come home with the Lombardi.

     

    Drac, I don't mean to spoil your memories but, if you have the game correct, the Bills did not win. If OJ really was on the team, the Bills certainly did not win. He was traded to the 49ers prior to the 1978 season and the Bills were '0 for the '70s' against the Dolphins. They only played Miami once on MNF in the '70s (1976) and lost, 30-21. Hopefully, you meant another game.

    in answer to the OP my first thought to "Enjoy this Moment" was don't tell me what to do

     

    LOL

     

    This thread topic is great because I totally concur that we all need to be grateful to  be alive to see the Josh Allen era. I'm pinching myself. I Get It.

     

    my bills buddy Tonto RIP was one of the people I wish could have lived long enough to see this.  Front row seats in heaven hermano xo 

     

    GO BILLS

     

    Concur, mup. I'm so glad that my two sons, now in their early 20s, get to experience 'The Josh Allen Experience' and to soak in this iteration of the Bills like I got to do in my 20s with Jim Kelly and the Super Bowl era Bills teams. Much like your buddy, I wish my mom, dad, and grandma could have been around to see Josh and this team. These opportunities are fleeting and I may not get to witness another generational talent at QB. I want to experience one Bills Super Bowl win with my loved ones and the good people on this board before it's my time to slip into the great abyss.

     

    GO BILLS!!!

    49ers didn’t deserve to win that game, they got outplayed all night.

     

    Purdy could have run on first down on the second to last drive, instead he passed for -1 yard play.

     

    He could have put his head down there and gotten down the field.

     

    Two timeouts and 53 seconds left and he went for it all. 

     

    It's the old cliche, "good teams find a way to win". The 49ers were the better team coming in, even if they didn't play like it tonight. It's unfortunate that Green Bay couldn't hang on but there are no style points awarded for a win or a loss. Survive and advance. San Francisco did just that and this game has no bearing on their next. I'm sure the Lions and the Bucs would much rather have taken their chances against the Packers.

    Chiefs players of years past

    Here's a weird one. When I was a kid, there was a strange scheduling anomaly in 1978 that saw the Bills and Chiefs play each other twice in the regular season. The Bills won the first game in Orchard Park, the Chiefs won the second game in Kansas City. Both teams were awful that year. Kansas City's kick returner that year was RB Eddie Payton...Walter's older brother. It was also Chuck Knox's first year as Head Coach of the Bills.

    Who could forget All-Pro DE Art Still who was traded from the Chiefs to the Bills in 1988 and was there for the infancy stages of the soon-to-be Super Bowl teams?
