As more women get lower level coaching positions in the league and work their way up they will do so, just as Becky Hammond did in basketball. The ignorance of folks about this is astounding. Equity is about giving people chances, not guaranteeing anything. Why does it scare you so much?

This is equity at work. The E of DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) that so many Neanderthals want to call CRT or reverse racism or other tripe. The Rooney rule promotes equity, in this case giving minority candidates a shot at interviews. It does NOT guarantee they are hired.

Nice to know we won’t have to worry about the Raiders for a while.

Sympathies to you and the family on your loss.

These two will go down as two of the best ever

As OC he was responsible for Dorsey did. Why are so many people getting their nose out of joint about this? Of course Daboll gets his shot because of Josh. And Josh has developed into a star with Daboll as his OC. To suggest Daboll had little to nothing to do with his development is ridiculous.

Were.

Just not true. Josh had things that had to be corrected. Bills fans need to stop with this kind of crap.

The Giants atmosphere where the owners have resisted changing with the times and micromanaged woth a fan base that will not give him any margin for error. Parcells and Coughlin left a long time ago.

Best regards for him. He did a helluva job developing Josh. Hope he does well but the Giants atmosphere will make it difficult.

They’d be idiots to not pick up Oliver’s 5th year.

Could care less about the next two weeks.

I agree. It was an unconscionable failure in those last 13 seconds

Looking back I’d take out punter and put in a G/C. Agree on McKenzie but I’m betting he wants to go elsewhere.

First priority is to really think about how you want the defense to play. The passive bend but don’t break doesn’t hold up in big games. Doing that may help our LBs be more effective. Personnel wise: 1. CB 2. Power RB 3. Big tub of goo DT 4. Another big WR 5. Punter

I’m sure that breaks his heart

You are absolutely ridiculous. You have no way of knowing that. They went 50 yards in two plays like it was nothing. Congrats, you got more of the attention you crave today.

And you don’t know what plays they would have called to get a few more yards in that circumstance. You do not know what you think you know. The only thing we do know is our D was playing way back and refusing to do anything to slow down their receivers.

Think about it. They call a fair catch no matter where the ball comes down. That gives them 13 seconds. Say it's on the 10. Because of the stupid defenses Frazier called they move right down the middle of the field, still get a FG try. You think you know it all and you don't. No one knows what Reid would have had his team do or not do. What we do know is our defense let them walk down the field 50 yards in 10 seconds. It is hardly a stretch to think they could have made another 10-15 in that time, because our defense was determined to play passively. They lost the game because the defense could not hold them that last 13 seconds, and then they let them walk right down the field again in OT. That is the reason. There is no other reason.

To suggest that the Bills coaches threw the game is the most absurd thing written around here in a long time. And I would imagine the vast majority would agree. Quit being an idiot.

Suggesting the staff looked like they threw the game is monumentally stupid. And a guy who actually kicked in the NFL disagrees with you. I bet they would have called a fair catch and given Mahomes the ball. And they would have marched down into FG position because of the prevent defense which prevented nothing. When your defense gives up 50 yards in two plays when they have to get a stop, the blame is on the defense. It is mind bogglingly simple.

Then why even mention something so stupid? Someone made the wrong call, and McD is not going to throw that person or persons under the bus. Plain and simple. As for squibbing, Sal on WGR said the other day he was right next to Jay Feely on the sideline and asked him if they should squib kick. And Feely said no because you can't predict what would happen on a return. Felly said you put it in the end zone and have your D stop them for 13 seconds. Others like Romo had different thoughts, which shows one thing. THERE WERE NO ABSOLUTE CORRECT ANSWERS. Let's say they squib or pooch kick to around the 10 yard line. They run it back for maybe 10-15 yards in 3 seconds, fall down. Then they have three time out with plays to move into FG position, with Mahomes. What are the odds that he doesn't get that done? No different than him having the ball like he did on the 25. And the reason for that is because our defense played to not lose, instead of to win. The answer to why we lost has nothing to do with the kick. It has to do with the fact that the D could not, or more accurately would not, play aggressively enough to stop them from gaining 50 yards in 5 seconds. The way the D played those last two plays, I have no doubt the Chiefs could have moved into FG position even starting from their own 10 yard line. If I had to guess, McD told Farwell to go normal kick and Bass did what he was told. And the person he does not want to throw under the bus is Frazier, because Frazier's calls cost us the game, and he doesn't want to throw him under the bus when he's getting HC consideration. If Frazier doesn't get a HC gig, then McD either needs to make a change, or he and Frazier need to decide their defense is going to have a more aggressive mindset next yera. You can't talk about being more aggressive on offense, and then play so passively on defense. When you have a QB like Josh and as high powered an offense as the Bills do, you can afford to be more aggressive and take more chances on defense.

I know a guy who knows a guy.... Complete BS. Sal on WRG yesterday said he was right there with Jay Feeley and asked him at the time if the Bills would squib kick. And a former NFL kicker said they shouldn't, that you kick it out of the end zone and rely on your D to play for 13 seconds. They lost the game because the D played to not lose instead of to win in those 13 seconds. And if Frazier supposedly wants to leave because of that, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. McD will have to chew on this for months now. He has to decide if being aggressive on offense, as he did and rightly so, should be matched with being so passive on defense.

And he uses paragraphs.

No way. He is one of the best throwers of the ball right now and will only get better with time. And with time he'll run less and/or slide more.
