The only coach they hired that looks like an obvious win is Waufle, the Defensive Line coach. The offensive coordinator wasn't calling the plays in Denver and was acquired after McCoy and Childress turned us down. The defensive coordinator was a defensive backs coach last year that was no longer in high demand after his recent failures at head coach and defensive coordinator. Quarterbacks coach has no history coaching the position in the NFL. I think QB coach is an important position. Bills always see it as an afterthought. Offensive line coach has a solid resume but how is he better than Aaron Kromer? Crossman is the special teams coach for a unit that has not been special.

What if he wins less than 8 games?

If Sean McDermott wins less than 8 games next year with a better roster than what Rex had (according to people here) will they call for him to be shown the door?

No, Whaley was done once McDermott was hired. Sean demanded full control to take the job. When Sean says the Pegulas fired Whaley and the scouts after the draft and they decided that morning he is lying.

No, Whaley wanted Mahomes.

Anthony Lynn's preferred offense is a West Coast offense. The QB has to hit guys when they are open and not hold on to the ball too long. Stop blaming everyone but the QB for the QB's play.

Absolutely.

When the QB throws the ball on time it makes the pass protectors' jobs easier.

How many yards did Tyrod have with a healthy Sammy in 2015?

The QB matters. I love how people just say Roman/Lynn sucked and Dennison is better. Based on what?

Yes. But it is rated per attempt.

Yard per catch per reception emphasizes the receiver. Yards per catch per pass emphasizes the QB. It's the same thing.

Where did I say I want a poor defense? You want complimentary football. New England is driven by their QB and the ability to score points at will. Their defense plays off that and there you go. That's what I want. Elite offense with a defense that can stop the other team enough times for the win.

Yes, he already had Dennison as a coach in Baltimore. So I don't expect some new magic to be unleashed this year.

Yards per Catch per pass is the same thing.

Winning a Superbowl with a poor passing attack is an outlier. It's like the people who say why can't we win with "insert crap QB" who can be our Trent Dilfer? Carolina I was speaking to their offense just rolling people as an outlier. Throwing a perfect slant pass to hit a receiver in stride is a skill that should not be dismissed. It really helps the offense when a QB can hit those passes as well as deep go patterns as the slants and YAC stuff moves the chains.

I laid out what I wanted to happen BEFORE we hired the coach and GM. A real GM search for the best candidate to get players for the Buffalo Bills. Then the GM picks a top coach who can run a 21st century offense and develop a QB. If we had done a real GM search and landed the next John Schneider and then the GM chose Jim Bob Cooter I would be accused of excessive Kool-Aid posts. But instead the Pegulas got a list from the NFL and a name "jumped out at them" and then they invited Sean on their yacht before asking any football questions as he "had them at hello". So no, passing on Mahomes was terrible but they set themselves up for that by the prior moves.

I believe in assessing risk properly. If my QB throws a pick on 3rd and 10 on the 50 yard line with 35 seconds left and it it intercepted deep it is the same as a punt. You will get more picks when you challenge a defense to make plays. Playing not to lose might feel right for a Jauron or a Rex Ryan but I prefer a bolder approach.

That Denver team was an outlier. As was Carolina's run in 2015. But keep in mind I did not argue it was necessary to have a good yards per catch per attempt. It just is better than the alternative.

200 yards passing a game. So 3,200 passing yards if healthy.

No, it's a passer stat. But having a good passing game is better than not having a good passing game. 4 of the 5 teams with the highest YPC per attempt made the playoffs and 4 out of the 5 teams at the bottom, such as Buffalo, missed the playoffs. The only team that made the playoffs with a bottom of the barrel passing game was the Houston Texans and they are in a weak division.

Dennison is a Curtis Modkins. Kubiak called the plays. We shall see if he is better than A Lynn.

Yep. More Dinosaur Football.

Tyrod doesn't throw with anticipation which is why he is bottom of the barrel in the NFL in that key stat.

New England and Atlanta had the highest Yards Per Catch per pass in the league and met in the Superbowl. Tyrod was bottom 2 in the NFL.
