Mister Defense

I think it is likely a ver good move for the Chargers, but he may be stepping into another situations where the quarterback's skill and upside is exaggerated. And Herbert also seems to fold in big moments, does not seem to be a leader. But I do think he will help that stale looking Roman offense improve a great deal. If they have a good oline and Herbert continues to crumble in big moments, this will likely be his last year as a Charger. As a Bills' fan, I would much rather Roman was still there than McDaniels.

Wow Wow Just perusing this thread and saw this idea for the first time--been busy. If this is true, my feelings about Brady becoming the next leader of the Bills has taken a dramatic upward turn.. A head coach with that kind of hutzpah may be just what the Bills need at this moment.

At least in my first impressions this is exactly the same way I was thinking--and Cignetti with a huge bullet, think his team was one of the most disciplined, dynamic, and high level teams I have ever seen. And he transformed a perennial loser into that perfect beast. I know he has said he is staying in college. But that was before the team with a quarterback who reminds me of his championship quarterback fired their head coach. Maybe a once in a lifetime opportunity--take over a team with one of the top 3 quarterbacks of all time, and in the prime of his career. That would be the hire. But Kubiak, at least initially, has been my #2. And if McCarthy was hired I would not just use a gazillion vomit emojis in this forum i, I would go to the stadium and do so on their front step.

Great motivator? Gets the most out of his players?? Low risk??? But I think this phrase best sums up your thoughts: "He's got the name and the reputation." Reading those now bold quotes of yours really puts it all into perspective, how anyone can say these things about Tomlin. And then make the leap that he would be a great replacement for McDermott. A very rational way to make a vital decision for the team. You need to use your high level football analysis and carefully considered criteria for a coach and become our next GM. The Bills can really use a low risk, well known man with a reputation of some kind. Who can ever deny that? It took me a while to understand the OP, but after re-reading it, it makes much more sense why someone would be calling for this caoaching change. Now I get it. And you are right. Mike Tomlin really does meet your main criteria for a head coach. To a tee.

If this poll is even close there are some really silly people on here! I cannot imagine the reaction of Bills' fans if the Bills ever looked as unprepared for one playoff game as Tomlin's Steelers do consistently-- and for many years in a row. 2018 is the last time the Steelers won a playoff game and they were not even competitive in any of them since that 2018 game. I think I read that they were behind by 21 points in every playoff game during this period-? When you watch them in the playoffs they literally look like they are out of their league. They have no chance. This is a coach some want over Sean McDermott!? Oh my. You have to have some bizarre analysis issues if you would rather have Mike Tomlin as the Bills' head coach.

Yeah, reminds me somewhat of when I received a ticket in the mail for doing a rolling stop at a STOP sign. I went to the video link they had of me doing this, supposedly. But I showed some friends how bogus it was, playing the video very very slowly and sometimes just pausing at the moment in question. I proved, by those freeze frames, that of course I stopped completely! I had visual evidence to prove this. Seems like a waste of time, sour grapes, to focus on such a moment that could have easily gone either way, but that Bills fans are so emphatic about as being a horrendous call. The Bills should focus on what they did wrong, both in the game and this season (game should have been in The Ralph) rather than this. As then it is not wasted energy, as they could then actually improve things. Plenty to work on, but even more to build on-- decimated with injuries, they almost beat the #1 seed on the road, despite giving up the ball 5 times!

You are a pretty silly guy!! This was supposed to be a I despise the Bills' leadership and will use any game they lose as evidence to support that post--No matter what we saw with our own eyes and what the facts of the game are. Look at al those posters adding supporting emojis! So please do not add any more rational takes like this to this thread--they will all be extremely out of place. Too many of those and their heads will implode.

Yikes, what game did this person watch?? One of the Bills' best all around games of the year on offense and defense and one of the best coaching jobs of the year by all--extremely well prepared team and excellent game plans on both sides of the ball. The Bills lost on some bad mistakes and the turnover battle, several mistakes actually!, yes by Allen, but others too. To say this team did not look like a high quality and prepared team is ridiculous. They certainly did. Gives us a taste of what the haters will do with this loss now, how they will just twist it into their dark, warped perspective. Notice: not ONE bit of specific support from this game in the OP for that position? Just an unsupported cliche about Allen having to carry all of the load. Yeah, bud, there were no playmakers out there tonight for the Bills!!! It was just Allen running and catching it by himself. I am proud of this team for what they did this year and tonight, but the mistakes cost them the opportunity to play in the Championship Game. Pure stupidity to want to burn it all down now.

I remember laughing the day they signed Rodgers. And thinking not how inept their front office has been, though it was, but how clueless and/or unconcerned Tomlin was when it came to offense and winning big in the NFL. And that he was likely just a complacent coach satisfied with just treading water, year after year, and picking up huge paychecks. Yes, he is not the GM, but if you have been a head coach for a team for 18 years you have a lot of power over personnel decisions including the quarterback. Think of top head coaches in NFL history and how adamant they would have been against bringing in a 42 year quarterback who will not stand in the pocket, but throws the ball away over and over, and who is an AWFUL leader--just go look at his last game! I assume it has already been done, but I am looking forward to watching a video of his great leadership skills in his last game ever--so many choices to pull out, in his body language, actual language, and performance. We will see, but I predict you are wrong--that overall their fan base will never rue that day, but always be grateful it finally happened.

Can anyone say: delusional?? Extremely so too! And pretty funny when you think about what he is saying!! He is saying how well the team is playing and being coached-- as he calls for the firing the coaches if they lose this very difficult road playoff game against the number one seed with almost two weeks rest. Shows just how lacking in objectivity this kind of view, 'analysis is..

What? Is the OPost just a joke? One of the worst OPs ever unless I am missing something. And maybe THE dumbest poll ON TBD in many years. Ever? If not a joke, it has to be one by one of the biggest Beane bashers on here---and that is saying a lot. Probably this is the mindset: 'Oh yeah, everyone saying how well White played against Jacksonville? An important reason they won the game, huh? Well, what about this?'

No, the Bills should not win this game, but will. McDermot is completely safe after one of his best coaching performances. But Babbich needs to go, as it is pretty clear that when he has been in charge, things have fallen apart. But when McDermott has taken over they often look like a completely different, even championship level defense.

Honestly, I think all the sky is falling talk this week because of the Bills' injuries and that they are facing the mighty broncos are just what the Bills' need to give them the final boost in this game. Bills 34, broncos 24 Passing game comes alive, setting up a rushing attack that everyone will be speaking about after the game. BUT, can we please actually use one of our best weapons now--Ray Davis, in both the running and passing game????????????????????????????????????????? (Then, go pats!! An easier out than the texans.)

Well, yeah, of course. I am not saying that they are all not viable, and all not going to be successful, but this year they are clearly the MAIN focus of the media, and apparently with owners. Seems like a bad idea to make them the main focus of so many. And I assume some will become very successful as well. But, again, look at the playoff winners this year so far, and the teams playing in the divisional round. 4 of the 6 coaches were coordinators when hired as head coaches. And most of the coaches in this year's playoffs overall were also coordinators before this job, not head coach. But it makes no sense that these coaches are the focus--and many being placed on such high pedestals. We will see how it all turns out, but think a bunch of them should just hang it up now---and that they will not be successful.

I originally thought the same thing. But then I was thinking about the Ravens' reputation, at least formerly, as that very tough, aggressive, great defensive team.. McDaniel' entire demeanor, personality, and coaching style just won't fit with the Ravens' perception of their team. So they would not consider him as head coach, I don't think. But maybe as their OC.
