....what was impressive about Lynn was how he went from RB Coach to OC to Hc is such a short time frame, a meteoric rise through the ranks that I seriously doubt he ever saw coming when hired as RB Coach....yet despite it all, he managed to be the glue that held it altogether despite highly adversarial circumstances...glad he got a HC gig....
I agree 100 percent. I thought he did an excellent job. I'm glad he got rewarded as well

Once again we are going through this with each other about Lynn. Lynn was offered the job to fill in temporary not to be the long term guy, this happens a lot in the NFL when the head coach is let go. Lynn was not promoted to take over because they wanted him as the new head coach because of his great offense he was just lucky enough to be here and for the owner to respect the old head coach enough to trust his recomandation to let Lynn fill in to finish it off. Lynn was not offered a job to stay here so he was let go, fill in to the end and its over. Like I have said many times before if you get fired from a job but are offered a different job at a better position with more pay at a different company you still were fired from the first company before the offered happened. Still jobless for a short time before even if it was only a few hours in between.
Top 10 because of our running game not Tyrod. I never once said the offense sucked with Lynn but I have said in other threads it just wasn't good enough for long term success. You act like Lynn was so good he got offered a head coach job by the Bills and turned down the Bills offer, we all know there was no offer to stay from the Bills so he got fired from the Bills anyway you look at it. Worked out great for him that's for sure.
Where in your mind is him getting fired? He went from an assistant coach to head coach who makes more money. That's getting fired? ...
The bills obviously wanted to go a different direction in terms of a HEAD COACH. Not offensive coordinator. If they didn't bring him back as an offensive coordinator then that would be considered getting fired.
Not sure how you can get fired from a job you never had in the first place. And no I'm not considering him coaching the final game of the year as him being the head coach. That was more about getting rid of Rex Ryan because of the whole Tyrod injury settlement thing.
Lynn interviewed for the Bills job and never got it. So if you apply to a job and they hire someone else instead of you because that company wants to go a specific direction, that in your mind is getting fired?...
Lynn did pretty damn well for himself last year and now he is the head coach for a team who is poised to win their division. Looks like"getting fired" has worked out pretty well for him

This is a very, very good idea by McVay. He's terrific so far.
Oh I know. Him and Pederson got to be front runners for coach of the year. Maybe Zimmer as well

Mods feel free to merge or delete if there was a similar topic about it, I searched but didn't see anything.
Thought this was pretty interesting as Jared Goff as obviously taken a massive step this year.
It's a short article but to sum it up, the Rams are going to line quickly so that Mcvay can scan the defence and relay an audible to Goff before the head clock goes off at 15 seconds left.
To relate this to the Bills, we need to draft a QB in the first round. But it is also going to take a creative.smart O coordinator for the QB to progress, and I don't think Dennison is that guy at all.

Ok, thanks for clarifying.
I used to hate all displays on the field, from celebrations to praying during the game. Before this thread came out, I was thinking while watching some celebrations and decided, no big deal, they're having fun. It's a few seconds a levity that harms no one. That's my view. I don't even watch most of the celebrations, so it's really no problem for me. I'd prefer this to the image of a player screaming at the camera like they want to kill you after making a play.
Fair enough. I cant say I agree with your views on them but everyone is different and I am sure a lot of people are more like you and either don't mind/ enjoy them.
My favourite was Barry Sanders where he would just give the ball to the ref after like a 90 yard TD. And I hate to say this cause I don't like Lynch, but his celebrations where he will shake all the o lineman's hands. I just think that displays more a team concept instead of a "look at me", or "look at us" type of deal.
Just my personal views on them, I am sure most people agree with you.

Skilled at making a offense around Tyrod?
I am sure we will have many great OCs wanting this job since Tyrod has had a new one every year, who doesn't want a job that guarantees him a full year of work. What makes you think he will last past year one? What makes you think any OC will want this job knowing the scheme he brings in will not be used.
Lynn was an offensive coach promoted to a head coach. That is a promotion, not a regression... Teams don't promote offensive coordinators to head coaches if their offence sucks. Especially first year head coaches like Lynn. If you can name one I would actually be pretty interested. And saying Lynn doesn't count as the Bills offence last year was ranked top 10.

In both situations they are doing exactly what they planned on doing. So they can 'get it together', it's just not how you want them to 'get it together' . Total lack of maturity and respect on your part.
They are ungrateful because they celebrate a touchdown? Since they have kids they should act stoic all the time and not have fun? I think you are really overthinking this whole thing.
On a slight aside-- Notice when Eichel scored the other night, practically no reaction, not even a smile. Made me think about Lafontaine who was the happiest guy in the arena whenever he or anyone else scored. I thought Lafontaine was one of the greatest competitors we ever had in Buffalo, his enthusiasm for being successful showed that. It's ok to be celebrate. No real harm.
No, no that's not what I am getting at. I didn't mean to say they are ungrateful because they celebrate touchdowns. Someone brought up they are like spoiled children and I responded in a different topic all together. I see how you thought that's what I was referring to though
When it comes to touchdown celebrations, my view on them is "act like you've been there before". I don't find it necessary to dance every time you score a TD as I think it's immature and non professional, but nothing to do with being ungrateful. That word was meant for a different subject all together.

I was very hard on Mcd the past few weeks but I'll tip my hat to him this week. He did a great job.
Only thing I didn't like was going very conservative at the end. They went run, run, run when all they needed was 1 first down to pretty much win the game. It worked yes, but I think he needs to have more of a killer instinct at those times. Besides that one complaint, he had the boys ready to play and pushed the right buttons

I do, they don't want to be shown up.
Hmm. I disagree personally. If I was CBS I would tell the other analysts to study more and be better at their job, opposed to telling the knowledgeable one to dumb down to their level.
Just doesn't make sense to me if CBS would basically say this to Romo: (In other words of course...) "Stop being great at your job because all of our other employees are incompetent". Lol

Gus Johnson is great, just the right amount of excitement on big plays.
Was thinking the same thing, Terry could TA$k him into it
No he was embarrassing his colleagues due to their inability
By colleagues, do you mean Jim Nantz or the other CBS analysts?
I don't think CBS would tell him to dumb it down because his colleagues have limited knowledge lol

Sure he's a great coach. But that's not the only winning coaching style. I love the Pete Carroll types that have fun with it. Let's just agree we hate Belichick.
You're right that different styles work
But I would rather have a coach have control of his team like a Belichick, opposed to a coach we had here the last couple years who pretty much let his players do whatever they want. Lol.
But yes I'm more than happy to agree on your last point lol

So it's settled ? Rico is the new go to excuse for the TT crowd ?
I want to know who we are blaming this week for another trademark 180 yard 1 TD game.
You know just because the QB isn't great, it doesn't give an excuse to an awful OC, right?
It is probably pretty accurate to say Tyrod is an average QB who has flaws in his game, and his OC is making him below average this year because of his awful and predictable play calling.
Would you at least agree with that?
Or is it the "great" Rico Dennison just getting held back because the Bills have one of the worst QBs in the game?...

Not racist lol. But still, yet another reason to hate Bill B.. no celebrations is so tacky. "Do your job" lol. ole lunchpail Bill.
The players buy in and it works. I hate Belichick but I also respect the control and discipline he has over his team

My point is that it shouldn't right? But how many of you believe that would be the case if McDermott said no team celebrations?
Not me to be honest. That would be the last thing on my mind

You don't think that would come up on twitter? I would bet it would...
I don't understand your point. What does race have to do with anything here?

They are not grown men, they are spoiled children...
By grown men I meant they are Men who are in their 20s and 30s in which alot of them have kids or are married ,and they provide for their families.
I don't know if spolied is the right word as nobody handed them a job in the NFL, but ungrateful could probably sum up a lot of players
-
I find them ridiculous myself. The funny/sad part about it is these are grown men who rehearse touchdown celebrations before the games lol
-
They must have told him to tone down the breakdowns though. I found him alot more insightful earlier in the year.
My guess is CBS told him to try to simplify it for more of the casual fans. Because he was simply lights out with his breakdowns and predicting plays early this year

My point is more with the window. If the QB takes 2 years to develop is their window closed? They have a very good defense still but that won’t be the case forvever. They could take Tyrod as the short term guy while drafting a guy or continuing to develop Lynch. They can also get 2 other players from the trade to fix that offense. If they take our 2 firsts and Tyrod they can do something like Guice and a OL or DB. They can try to play ball control and win that way.
You make some good points. I guess it depends on what direction they want to go.
If they want to win short term, they will have lots of options including the one you listed.
Could also sign like a case Keenum, or one of the free agent QBs and still draft a QB at 5.
They have lots of options and it will be very interesting to see what they do in the draft, because it could be a key for the Bills

I could see the Bills trading Denver their 2 1sts (or better yet a 1 and 2) and Tyrod for a top 5 pick.
Hoping so but I have a feeling Denver would draft a QB at that spot. I don't think they are sold on Lynch, and probably would Rather a young QB with a high ceiling rather than a 29 year old with not a huge upside.
This is not a knock against a TT as I like him for the most part, but I think drafting a QB would make the most sense for Denver. Assuming Elway likes a QB at their draft spot of course

You let all that happen you deserve to lose. I'm sure at least part of that is personal stats too.
Think of the play where KC went for it on 4th, threw the ball 30-40 yards down field and our DB tries to make a diving interception. Now That's not awareness
Ya I get annoyed when DBs will go for the interceptions on 4th downs but I think it's just instincts. And the game happens so fast as well

Tre could teach 80% of CBs to tackle!
Question on the interception and Tre trying to run it back.....
Should he have slid and given himself up to avoid fumbling and a turnover?
I know it isn't human nature and probably didn't cross his mind till after. But, that is ideally what should have happened to ensure the win?
Thoughts? Thanks!
Ya he should have given himself up. The game is over if he drops down as the Bills just had to take the knee twice.
I'm sure the coaches will talk to him about that.
Either way, amazing game by him and the defence
-
If Brady gets injured. That's literally the only way I think they win

Lol amazing. This has been a bad month for the Chiefs and they are snapping. This is pretty much what we have had to deal with for 17 years

I agree, but pretty smart to take advantage of it if you can. It is a loophole in the rule book
