Fair enough, I've done all I can my friend @Jauronimo It will take a little Fitzmagic to get Fitzy back in Buffalo now.

I was actually not a big fan of Fitzy QB ing the Buffalo Bills. Used to have a thread here about Fitz being a turnover machine. Ryan Fitzpatrick continued to improve throughout his career because he's smart. Not because of arm talent. Fitzy always knew where to go with the ball. Arm strength was always the problem IMO. I do admire what the bearded one accomplished. Chan Gailey would probably tell you the same thing. So no sir, this is not a fanboy suggestion. This is a man I truly Billieve can make the Buffalo Bills Offense better in my humble opinion. You guys have given so many good reasons why Ryan Fitzpatrick would not want to take up coaching. Fitzy would have to love football and the Buffalo Bills a whole lot to even consider it in my humble opinion. This is true. Thanks Herb Nightly, it was a fair question to ask.

The Buffalo Bills play many of their home games towards the end of the season and into the playoffs on a half frozen snow covered playing surface. Against the Bengals in the playoffs it did appear poor footing was very one sided. It may help explain why the Bills failed executing plays properly more often then not IMO. We have all experienced slippery surfaces and know how hard even the simplest task can become when dealing with ice and snow. When I started exploring different types of cleats and how they match up with different playing surfaces and in different weather conditions. I can see how complex it is to prevent injury while achieving good traction in different conditions. I bring this subject up because even when the new stadium is completed the Bills will still be playing on an ice and snow covered playing field. I think its important the Buffalo Bills do everything they can to make sure poor traction doesn't become a deciding factor in the outcome of a football game. I'm posting a link on one of the studies I looked at that was very insightful. It showed a machine that could be used to test a cleats traction real time on the surface it would be used on. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0216364 Heres another recent article that shows the problem some NFL teams are having in finding a middle ground beween safety and good traction. Same culprit in Tennessee. Ice and snow https://sports.yahoo.com/titans-ditch-natural-grass-for-artificial-turf-at-nissan-stadium-cite-injuries-player-safety-230654543.html

I wouldn't be hating it C.Biscuit97 and would call it an upgrade IMO. Both ways he helps Josh Allen...

This is it for me in a nutshell. Chan Gailey is a very good Offensive minded football guru IMO. Gaileys getting up there in age at 71 and may not coach again IMO. Fitzpatrick in all likelihood has the Gailey playbook memorized by now. Fitzpatrick also knows how to use it. To me this gives Fitzpatrick a leg up over anyone else available and reason to consider coaching. Along with good leadership abilities I wouldn't expect Fitzy to stop at QB coach. Not in my opinion he wouldn't. Ryan Fitzpatrick would just be getting started in my opinion. I'm not looking to make drastic changes to Dorsey's O. I do however think a mind like Fitzy's can add some innovation and help with real time game adjustments when in communication with Dorsey. I also think Fitz has what it takes to become an OC in the league one day IMO. If he so chooses. So what does Fitzpatrick think. Fitzy would have to really love the game of football.

I wanted to start a seperate thread on this in hopes of catching the right persons attention. Davis Webb has expressed interest in coming back to Buffalo and taking on the Bills QB coaching position. Webb did a good job coaching the Bills practice squad and is familar with the Bills Offense. I'm OK with Webb making a play for Joe Brady's job. My thoughts on this is If Buffalo is looking to possibly add some wrinkles to the Bills Offense. From an X's and O's standpoint Ryan Fitzpatrick has worked very closely with Chan Gailey for years. Fitz has the Gailey playbook memorized and knows how to use it. Everyone knows Fitz almost aced the wonderlic test. To me its a no brainer to give the bigger brain a shot at the job If interested. From a leadership standpoint Fitz checks all the boxes. Ryan Fitzpatrick also has the same mentality as Josh Allen. When all else fails bludgeon the opposition with your body. Well, in Fitzys case, his big head. Bills O just needs a little sprinkle of Fitzmagic IMO. Any thought on this my fellow Bills fans?

I'm a fan of Bills GM Brandon Beane. Josh Allen doesn't become a Buffall Bill without him IMO. I'm just looking for more concentration on lineman in the upcoming draft. Horses up front 1st...

I think she might check in here shortly.

Is this WYO? Update Yes, just PMed me back

Voted DC, seen this on twitter, lol Follow me guys and gals!!!

This poster that posted a mods address went to far in my humble opinion. Sounds like an out of control poster don't you think? With all due respect JohnNord

We as awful posters need to own it sometimes to you Beast ; )

Hi Dr Who, I hope all is well with you. TBD has a wealth of knowledge on many subjects packed into it IMO. Football 1st and foremost. I've learned allot here and not just about football. Always good hearing from you my friend.

All good people like the mods here on TBD IMO. Doing a thankless job, well, SDS I'm sure thanks them. Many reside at Fox's safe Haven now. Smaller well run site modeled like TBD IMO. https://www.billsfans.com/forums/ (Mods, If its OK with you guys to post the site. )

I also got caught up in the E J will be fine camp. So Diesel is the culprit, lol Hey man, I liked his essays ; )

Someone has to be the bad guy right. Hey man, I hope all is well with you.

Kinda looked like Cook the 1st time he touched the ball on Sunday

She's an awesome poster. @Rochesterfanhas always been one of my favorite posters. There and now here on TBD. Very knowledgeable poster when it comes to football IMO.

Skooby?

You know John, I think anything being posted negative about the Buffalo Bills helped contribute to its downfal IMO. Thousands of unhappy posters and the site itself is expected to protect the integrity of the franchise. It can't be done.

I think you guys also had a real tough time defending a franchise that had struggled for many years. BBMB had inside connections that leaked sensative Bills intel. Myself personally, this is what brought the house down in my humble opinion.

dog 90210 was also a holy Trent worshiper Wonder where that S O B went to...
