Only 5 coaches in 40 years. Ugh.
the link I was referring to was something about coaches and QBs. Something like if it’s not done within the first 5 years of being together has never Happened. I don’t remember the facts of it. So in that case someone’s gonna have to go. I’m sticking with Allen. McClappy can go. Unfortunately, I’m not sure it happens that way. I think McD is going to suck all the life out of Allen and he’s going to leave buffalo. Once he gets another year or maybe 2, he’ll be looking for a trade to a REAL Competitor.
No coach/qb combo in NFL history won their 1st Super Bowl together after year 5 together, is the actual stat. The article is a few years old but the stat still continues till now.

I feel sorry for her.
There's a very good article about the situation linked on the homepage.
I'm sure she's crushed over it. She's probably been crying frequently since it was put out.
My question is who was so eager to put that out. Kind of a big nothing-burger that's been made into a mountain.
Would think someone who isn’t so fond of her must have leaked it.

Now, ask yourself why was Josh Allen even attempting to make those throws. Why does Allen feel the need to play hero ball?
Was the Buffalo run game working well enough so the Buffalo QB doesn't feel the need to play hero ball? Was he in a clean pocket all game or was he sacked 5x and 9 QB hits, with him under a lot of pass rush pressure?
Did QB Josh Allen make some bad decisions, YES! He takes some blame here no question. Not all the blame though, not in my view. Allen is a gunslinger and at times makes great throws. At times makes bad decisions. It goes with his being a gunslinger, his personality, and his nature. After all, his NFL hero is Brett Favre.
Things might have been different had the Buffalo run game been working well enough so the QB didn't feel the need to have to make big plays. The Buffalo run defense in being able to somewhat contain Jets RB Breece Hall. The Buffalo special teams unit now allowing a return for a TD.
I’m beginning to think all of his actions/decisions on and off the field indicates narcissism to me. He feels he knows better than his coaches and teammates. He and only he can possibly make the hero play to win the game.
It’s immature, selfish and disrespectful to his teammates and coaches. Grow the Fu*k up!!!

How many times has Brett Farve done that? A ton, pal. If you try and tame a gunslinger they could regress even more. He is going to have games like that.By his 6th year in NFL Brett Favre had won 3 league MVPs and a Super Bowl. Josh has accomplished jack in his career compared to Farve at the same point. He doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt, he hasn’t earned it yet.

So this “Josh doesn’t watch enough film” narrative, which came from one guy with zero evidence, is still lingering?
Actually Josh himself said he doesn’t watch a lot of video in a podcast interview this summer. Not saying it’s a big deal, just it came from him himself.

I live 20 minutes from CU campus and can tell you that without question there is way more buzz for Buffs then Broncos.
Buffs are fun, Broncos are not.

FYI:
From Warren Sharp newsletter today about the head official for Bills @ Jets Monday:
Carl Cheffers a veteran referee who calls a lot of penalties. Cheffers consistently ranks in the top 5 per season for penalties.
A Cheffers officiated game will exceed NFL average in penalties more often than not. The takeaway from his long term trends are that when the dust has settled the home team wins well above the NFL average.
Cheffers consistently ranks in the top 5 every season for overall penalties
Led NFL in 2021 with 14 penalties per game for 124 yds per game
Home teams 58-39-1 SU (60%) since 2016
Home teams 48-49-1 ATS since 2016
3rd most offensive holding penalties in 2021
Most unnecessary roughness penalties in 2021
2nd most defensive pass interference penalties in 2021
Led the NFL in calling offensive pass interference in 2021

Does anyone know how to download wgr shows from their site? It seems like they've made some changes and you can only stream now.
Not sure if you can via the audacy app but that's not available in Canada anyway.
I download them on Apple Podcasts all the time.

This thread is proof that we as a fanbase were fine without answers. We never got a straight answer for 13 seconds. We didn't get a reason for Frazier's departure. We didn't get an explanation for the Bengals loss, we just got a Delayed Onset Emotional Exhaustion excuse and was told to drink the process kool aid. Why so upset now? We don't really care to know.
Doesn’t help that all the WNY media just bend the knee to the team. They are either literally employees or so scared of making anyone in the organization even minimally uncomfortable to actually begin to hold anyone even remotely accountable.

I also think some of this is about coaching. Do we believe in Ken Dorsey? Is HC Sean McDermott a better at Head Coach? How will DC Sean McDermott work?
Also, what will materially change with team and coaching to stop the now long streak of flaming out in last playoff games?
I think many are tired of all the hype and talking about how great they are, and want to actually see them live up to their potential before they crown them again. Like actually prove that you are a Super Bowl caliber team before we crown them all that.

lol ok
1, they're not going 3-3 in division. They'll be sweeping Miami and NE.
2, they're not going 0-3 versus the eagles, chiefs and bengals. they'll win AT MINIMUM one of those.
3, Let's slow our roll on the Jags and Cowboys, shall we? They're hardly tossups
4, if this team loses to Washington, NYG or the Broncos, then they're really bad
5, finally you got something right.
✍️ Noted.
9-8 floor, 11-6 is ceiling. Hope I’m wrong and your 13-4ish prediction is correct.

The schedule is brutal, hardest this version of team has had. The following scenario isn’t unreasonable one.
Division Games - Pats, Dolphins, Jets X2. 3-3 is not unreasonable
Likely Losses - @ Eagles, @ Chiefs, @ Bengals. 0-3
Tossups - Jags, Cowboys, @ Chargers. 2-1
Should be wins, but never know - @ WTF, Giants, Broncos. 2-1
Easy W - Raiders, Bucs. 2-0
I feel this 9-8 scenario or 10-7 is most likely. Pats winning division, almost no way I see that happening.

Isn’t there different stages/tiers of what is deemed successful for team sports?
Bottom Tier = Success is sucking bad enough to be able to draft elite player.
Above Bottom Tier = Success maybe getting to .500
Mid Tier = Success is making playoffs
Above Mid Tier = Success is winning playoff game or 2
Top Tier = Success is making final 4 or better
Elite Tier = Success is winning Championships
Think most people on this site feel this team has had a Top or Elite Tier roster. Problem is their performance and results in playoffs when it matters most are not. They have under performed their talent.
Doesn’t mean they are sh*t. Doesn’t mean the owners are sh*t. Doesn’t mean they aren’t still fun to watch. It just means at the level they are at and should currently hold themselves to, the past couple of seasons have not been successful.

He can't be serious about the performance at MLB. Wonder if one of the crack journalists asked why Dodson was playing fourth quarter minutes if he was handling the defense well. At least he was honest about Dawkins, but you really couldn't even implausibly lie about that.
Because his greater tendencies and instincts will always be to defend and favor his defense. That’s one of the arguments many make to why its so much harder for defensive HC to win the Super Bowl in this offensive/QB era.

You’re being the petulant child that has made looking good in the preseason when no one even game plans or uses blitz packages, the defining factor in your own self worth. Root for the Bengals if you need to. If the Bills are bad this season and Sean doesn’t win playoff games and at least gets to the conference title game, I’ll be right there calling for his ouster. This is just entertainment not life or death.
Do the opposing teams also not gameplay or is it just the Bills who don’t? I hear this Bills don’t game plan argument like they don’t and the other team does.
Its worse that when neither team game plans you get beat down like that. You either are man to man worse or unprofessionally uninterested.

Uh, um, ..... we can't lose to the Bengals TWICE.
JUST SAYING.....
You are correct, fixed. Lol. @Bengals , @ Eagles, @Chiefs
3 minutes ago, Nextmanup said:The funny thing is that I thought you were being kind to the Bills because we're all Bills fans!!
With the exception of the division results...I might put us at 4-2 there. But yes, we could easily end up with a record right around what you mention. Or we could be 4 wins better than that! Should be an interesting season.
I just hope we win on opening Monday night; a loss there (entirely possible depending on tons of variables) puts the season on the wrong foot immediately.
I was just pointing out for all the posters here that have said your a moron or a complete idiot for thinking Bills don’t make the playoffs. There are a few not unrealistic ways they could miss without major injuries. I won’t bet on them missing but I think they will end up 10-7 and that might not be good enough in AFC.

The schedule is brutal, hardest this version of team has had. The following scenario isnt a “totally moronic” one.
Division Games - Pats, Dolphins, Jets X2. 3-3 is not a crazy time “moronic” thought
Likely Losses - @ Eagles, @ Chiefs, @ Bengals. 0-3
Tossups - Jags, Cowboys, @ Chargers. 2-1
Should be wins, but never know - @ WTF, Giants, Broncos. 2-1
Easy W - Raiders, Bucs. 2-0
9-8 in this scenario.
I wouldn’t bet this scenario, but one is not a moron if getting to this conclusion and missing playoffs. BTW, give them a win in likely losses, does 10-7 guarantee playoffs this season in the AFC? IDK.

is this the part where we pretend he didn't rush for 760 yards and 7TDs
I would take Allen, but while they are different QBs they are really close. I could make lots of good arguments for Burrow being better. I could NOT make any arguments other then he made Super Bowl for Hurts being better then Allen.

Lol what has Burrow done to be ranked above Allen
More passing attempts, completions, yards, and touchdowns. Fewer interceptions and turnovers. Made a Super Bowl and AFC Championship games in back to back years.

Dude, if you are going to argue a point with examples, maybe you should at least look up those examples to see if they are correct first (verify your information).
And I find it interesting that early in this thread it was all about how long it took a coach to WIN a Super Bowl, and once it was shown that like 40% of Super Bowl coaches didn't win their first Super Bowl in 6 years, then the bar lowered to how long it took a coach to APPEAR in a Super Bowl. Yet if McD APPEARED in a Super Bowl and LOST, none of the McD detractors would be happy with that, they would be calling for his head for losing the Super Bowl. So, to lower the bar for your argument, but not for Sean, shows that you are grasping at straws. But, you should at least try and get your arguments correct and not just make stuff up.
Here is some data I posted earlier in this thread (obviously you haven't read the whole thread):
Coach Years to 1st SB appearance Years to 1st Super Bowl victory
Tom Landry 11 12
Bill Belichick 7 7
Andy Reid 6 21
Tom Coughlin 12 12
Pete Carroll 8 8
Chuck Noll 6 6
Bill Cowher 4 14
Tony Dungy 11 11
Dick Vermeil 5 10
John Madden 8 8
Gary Kubiak 9 9
Bruce Arians 8 8
I see seven coaches (not just Madden) who didn't appear in a Super Bowl until after their 7th season (and please check and verify my list).
And its hard to use Tom Landry as an example because he coached for 6 years before the Super Bowl existed. So, while he did win Super Bowl #6, you can't count that as his 6th year when he had actually been a head coach for 12 years already. And if you say, well he probably would have done it earlier if Super Bowls existed earlier in his career, I would counter with his win/loss record of his first 6 years (25-53). And using the fact that he made a Championship game in his 7th year, is a bit misleading as well because it was an NFL championship game in the first year of the Super Bowl, that Dallas lost to Green Bay. Green Bay would go on to play and beat the AFL Champion KC Chiefs in Super Bowl I. So, that Championship game, was more like the first NFC championship (not a Super Bowl). Also, there were only 15 NFL teams in 1966 (pre-merger) when Landry made that Championship game. A lot easier to make a Championship game (not even a SB) with 15 teams, rather than 32 teams.
Sorry left out an important detail for my stats on that specific post, 7th season with his FIRST team, I have mentioned it a couple of times in other posts of mine but left it out with this recent one. My apologies.
John Madden was only NFL head coach to make the Super Bowl beyond his 7th year with his 1st team as coach.
For Tom Landry, you either use the NFL Championship Game and the years before or you don’t, can’t have it both ways. If you don’t count the NFL Championship game because it was pre Super Bowl the he made Super in year 6, if you do count it then he made it in year 7.
All others on your good table made their 1st appearance beyond 7th year with team #2 or more.
I have listed in detail all the stats and data for my argument before in detail, some with reference articles. You can look them up on my profile if you want. I don’t need to keep posting them.
Sorry for leaving the important detail out of my most recent post. Hope you are well.
