BADOLBILZ

Unless

Yeah OC's who get HC jobs often just like to hire guys who will run their offense like they want. Not sure about Daboll's contacts but since it had been a good while since Daboll had been an NFL OC prior to getting the Bills job.........Dorsey might be the only guy who he feels comfortable handing the keys to right now.

He has proven he can be a "special" player? Where the f*ck is THAT proof? He is 5 years into the league with like 900 career receiving yards and never averaged as much as 10 yards per reception in any season. He is too careless with the football to keep a return job. I'm not saying that he can't do better with more chances if he has an elite QB like Josh Allen...........but he hasn't proven he can be special..........he's proven he can be a useful gadget player.

Yep, he couldn't handle the Patriots offense and didn't last long.

He must have a reason for endeavoring to be the next Curtis Modkins...........perhaps McD wasn't sold.

Wentz seems like one of the more unlikeable characters in recent NFL memory. And anytime players can go around the HC to management..........that's a recipe for disaster.

This could be true but I have not heard that about Pederson. His rep on Philly was that he was a complete pushover for Roseman and Lurie and did whatever they told him to do for years. Then he wanted to hire Zac Taylor's little bro to be his OC so he had someone he trusted.........and they said no.......so he finally told them to stick it.

Unless he reconciled with his ex-wife, the family is likely #stayin. As for "Bills Mafia moving to the Meadowlands"...........no f'in way.......just another former coach movin on..........that was a bad take by that twitter boy...........ain't nobody becoming Giants fans because of this.

They are required to interview candidates outside of the organization before hiring a new OC.

In his several prior NFL OC stops he was used to finishing with offensive ranks in the 30's..........so he might fit in a long line of recent Giants HC's in that regard. He was worth more to the Bills as an OC for continuity than he is anyone else in the NFL IMO..........but best of luck to him. Hopefully the next OC can take the Bills offense to the next level.

Yeah but Ocho was actually seen as very smart, a technician that got he most of his athletic ability........ but did so with a goofy diva act. McKenzie is a bad practice player who hasn't seemed to be able to learn how to elevate his game. Belichick needs to add speed to his offense but it's really hard to envision a bad practice player who then comes into games and makes mental errors is going to be a priority add for BB.

The 1990 Bills choked in SB XXV. The McDermott Bills have all been underdogs in their losses...........so not a choke. Homefield is still worth 1.5-3 points to Vegas. Learn it or be wrong.

Bills in playoffs this century: 3-0 at home in playoffs 0-4 on road in playoffs home field is not meaningless. Also #1 seed means a bye and less games to win to get there.

Belichick hates dumb players. McKenzie is somewhere between a box of rocks and a stump on the scale.

He has 5 SB rings with NE and a national championship ring with Alabama as a non-HC already.

Yes. He's an elite talent that is dirt cheap next season........just over $1M due, so cheaper than a first rounder.........which is really important and allows them to make other moves in the short term. To me.......Josh Allen with DK Metcalf has always been the ulimate potential combo of physical freaks at their positions............should have happened on draft day 2019. There are downsides..........he will be a free agent in 2023........putting him at Z means Gabe Davis or even Diggs might have to play some slot to get all 3 on the field. But Metcalf is a potential full season TD record breaker out wide when combined with Josh Allen........a perfect match for Allen's powerful arm(and seemingly improving deep ball)...........a giant target when the weather gets bad in Buffalo.........a player who will physically exhaust the opposition as well. I'm also a little leery about extending Diggs contract.........he's still really good but I don't want to see them give him some 5 year extension for $100M on top of what's left based on what I saw this season.........he's got enough mileage on him that I'd like the option of seeing both Metcalf and Diggs together and decide after next season which way to go long term. If you lose Metcalf in UFA........that's a fifth year option you don't have to worry about and you likely get a late 3rd round comp pick for him in 2024. Doesn't sound like much but there is no guarantee that 25th overall pick is going to be better than Shaq Lawson. Also, Gabriel Davis has not proven to me that he can be relied on all season..........he has had big games both seasons........but I still don't trust him to be the uncontested WR2. The inconsistencies and days when he just hasn't been able to make a play(like the likely game losing drop in Jax for example), the games missed and hindering nagging injuries both years, his decision making that cost him the chance to play in the second NE game, and just the lack of actually having a 800-1000 yard season yet tells me he doesn't yet warrant that nod for a team who is shooting for a #1 seed or bust against teams like KC and Cinci who are loaded with more proven weapons.

I felt this way after they went ahead with the FIRST TD late........that Josh Allen had just proven to me and anyone else that he was going to an MVP type player for a long time..........even though I was certain that KC would absolutely march down the field playing 4 down football, kill the clock and score a TD and beat the Bills and their tired defense at that point. So it wasn't hard for me to get back there after Hill scored quick and everything else that ended up happening. Couple hours after the game I was done with the what-if's.............the team as a whole didn't play well enough to warrant all that hand-wringing that is going on about the "13 seconds". They didn't earn the right to win that game.........they only almost got lucky because of a 1 man show that Allen put on.

You thought that the possessions were equal in regulation. They were not..........so don't make the mistake of thinking you are some sort of mathematician when you presumably have 20 fingers and toes and can't even count that high. The only way you can get back-to-back possessions in regulation is to win the opening toss and defer. While that is no guarantee.......per Sharp analysis.........receiving the ball to start the second half results, on average, in an extra point on the scoreboard(versus receiving the first half kick) and a 12% chance of stealing a possession. This is why teams almost universally defer to receiver until the second half. As it turned out........the Chiefs did indeed "steal" that possession.

1st half - even Bills start with ball Chiefs finish with it 2nd half -1 Chiefs start with ball Chiefs finish with it OT -1 Chiefs get the ball

Yeah, they had several drives like that in the middle of the game that ended with them taking the ball out of Allen's hands despite him being hotter than any QB in memory. On a day when they lost two coin flips and subsequently ended up with 2 less posessions.........they couldn't afford to lose drives in that manner.

Yes........FAR too much is being made of it. The team that played better for the majority of the game won...........even though they missed two kicks in the first half. Almost stole one..........got another lesson in playing the Chiefs though...........all-gas-no-brakes is how you gotta' play on offense. They tried to get out of a shootout in the middle of the game and that backfired. Would have been awesome to win............would have gladly taken it..........but they didn't "deserve" it.

You guys just want to say "but maybe McDermott and Beane's Bills would have been a bad place for Mahomes to develop".............I literally pointed out reasons why it is very unlikely they would have kept Mahomes from becoming great in relatively short order. As usual the "but the Bills woulda' ruined him" crowd really has no reason for their take other than just because some other QB's failed with other coaches. It's utter vaguery.

Anyone who didn't assume the son of a relative NFL offensive coordinating icon and former big time NCAA head coach(USC and Pitt).........with his playing experience and academic background.........would someday become an NFL HC.........probably wasn't paying much attention. Doesn't mean he will be good............but if anything it's surprising it took that long for him to be handed a job.

Just fyi.........in my experience this board is not at all representative of the fans that actually attend Bills games either. We have some locals and ST holders but the majority of the content and the emotion of the board is driven by ex-pats who often have a very different view of things than the people actually living it everyday in WNY. You aren't really going to meet "TSW" at a home game.

If I'm not terribly flexible to vague presumptions........I'm sorry if that hurts the feelings of people who just want to argue blindly for the sake of doing so.........but don't tell me Patrick Mahomes is a product of a system..........the guy was raised by a pro athlete to be a pro athlete.........he was absolutely dominant in college throwing for 9700 yards and 77 TD's in his sophomore and junior seasons before declaring..........we aren't talking about a guy who was just learning how to play quarterback when he arrived in the NFL. And the whole notion that Andy Reid was an offensive genius his whole career is false............his Eagles teams were actually most successful on defense(see Jim Johnson)...........and Reid and Alex Smith once teamed up for an ENTIRE SEASON where the Chiefs didn't throw a single TD pass to a wide receiver. And this was AFTER Alex Smith had put up 600+ yards against a Bills team.....the most yards they've ever allowed in a game.......... in his last year in SF. So it's not like Smith was lousy before Reid got his hands on him. Reid is a good coach.........but he couldn't turn water into wine. Mahomes was going to be a great player, regardless.
