Bleeding Bills Blue

I wonder if playing the opposite of Terry Bradshaw would be a winning strategy though.

I think you're talking about his legacy which is fine - he has a better resume than McDermott. In the upcoming season...? I don't really see him as the #2 coach going into the season. Other than beating the chiefs backups in week 18, they lost their last 3 games and beat almost no one with a winning record all year.

He's passing game coordinator for the Cowboys under Shottenheimer but i don't think he's going to call anything. His miami meltdown also probably didn't help my opinion of his playcalling. Like what are you doing running 92 offensive plays in that heat and passing way too often. The Bengals/Broncos games before his firing were also, very poorly called games - 8 RB rushing attempts against cincy, and just a total inability to manage clock was becoming a major issue.

Payton's ahead of him because of getting a rookie QB to the playoffs or whatever. But he was absolutely outcoached in the playoffs against buffalo to an almost embarassing degree. That was the popular "Upset alert" and they promptly got stomped. To me - PFF is supposed to be the "analytics" group, and this article didn't offer much of anything to back it up.

Tomlin's one super bowl win involved Tom Brady's torn ACL, and a playoff upset of the colts by the chargers.

He won coach of the year 2x... but he's also never won the division and missed the playoffs 3/5 times.

Manning is a 2x SB MVP which i think is gonna help him considerably. 5 road wins during those 2 SB winning seasons.

I think Colemans going to take a step this year and put up a really good season in the region of 60+/1000+/8+.

It's also pretty inevitable.

While Baltimore, Philly, KC, and Houston are tougher matchups, and I'd probably put Tampa Bay and Cincy together in that next tier. 10 wins is saying they basically lose 5 out of those 6 games, and another 2 of the ones below. The only thing that'd give me pause is the fact that they play Balt, Philly, KC, TB, and Cincy all in buffalo. NYJx2 MIAx2 NEx2 NO @Atl @Car @Pitt @Cleveland Considering Buffalo was a perfect 10-0 at home in 2024, I have some doubts about them going 5-4 in the last season at Highmark. The last regular season loss in Buffalo was Denver in 2023, before that was Minnesota. 2023 home record 7-1 (1 lost home game to London), 2022 Home record 7-1, 2021 Home Record 6-3, 2020 Home Record 7-1. They're 35-6 at home since 2020.

I picked the Jets as the only sweep option since they play buffalo week 2 and week 18. 2 is coming off a primetime big week 1 game and is on the road. And 18 there's a pretty solid chance that the game doesn't matter much.

Dorsey seemed to lack an identity as a playcaller. I think largely the offensive design was fine, just never knew when to call what and there wasnt enough formation variety to keep teams guessing. And when you don't know you tend to take too long to call anything.

Also this doesn't meet the threshold for me to consider it "heartbreaking". It's sad but cmon, guy made 270M, won a super bowl and SB MVP, and is going to be in the HOF. I'd trade the use of my right arm for the bills to do that, and i don't even play for them.

My guess is nerve damage so any surgery likely involves neck/spine in addition to the arthritis of bones, damaged tendons and ligaments, etc.

He's 73 and hasn't coached since 2020 with Miami. I feel like the game might have passed him by at this point.
