    It wasn't that Bojo had a punt blocked- it's that he muffled a hold on an easy field goal that blocked.

     

    Haack had a terrible game a few weeks ago and got ripped.  Seemed kind of silly to get a punter whose specialty was holding.  However here we are- maybe Bean was right and knew something after all!?

     

    Let's see tonight- Go Bills!

    From Beane's own comments the Bills wanted to bring him back and it seemed like they couldn't agree on a contract. Dodged a bullet there.

    I’m more looking forward to the studio hosts talking about what KC has to do in the 2nd half to try and get back in the game. 

    "You're never out of a game when Mahomes is your QB"

     

    "Andy has something schemed for every situation"

     

    "You can just feel that Hill is about to hit some big plays"

    I don’t gamble, but I remember reading Tuesday Morning Quarterback. The author would always give the stat that the home team wins nearly 75% of the divisional round games. 
     

    We’re now rooting for a complete sweep by the road teams (assuming we all want Brady bounced)

    I’d say the smart money is on the remaining home teams. 

    Why would we went that? Bring him on! I wanna see the Bills make him cry on the biggest stage of all.

    Today was a day of karmic retribution for dbaggery in the season. Both Rodgers and Vrabel found that out tonight. Hopefully the laws of karma throw us bone for all the playoff heartaches of the past 40+ years!

    And perhaps tomorrow the football karma will strike the team that had a player arrested just this week and is endorsed by Jackson Mahomes

    You say that, but the giants just took a chance on a GM that was “cutting his teeth” as an assistant. It’s not like Dorsey hasn’t  been learning on the job for a few years now.

     

    The bottom line is, every great coach got their start somewhere. For all we know, Dorsey might be the next great OC. I’ll leave it up to Beane’s discretion. He’s earned the benefit of any doubt. 

    Exactly. 100%. In fact, I’ll go a step further…make Dorsey OC and don’t even worry with hiring a qb coach. Just keep Webb on the sideline as a backup and let him be the acting QB coach. 

    And I don’t get why posters assume he wouldn’t be adequate. Goes both ways. Again…I’ll trust Beane in this. 

    Yes, they took a chance...after a wide search of people. They didn't just look up the hallway and say..."Well you've been here a while. Want the job?"

     

    And what has Dorsey been learning? Can you pin point how exactly he's progressed in his time here? What are his own philosophies when it comes to running an offense? What is it (other than close proximity) that directly tells you he is so well qualified for the job that they shouldn't even look in the event that Daboll leaves?

     

    That's all I'm suggesting. Look at the current staff, absolutely. But don't solely look at the staff. As we saw early in the season with the offensive line..."running it back" and continuity aren't always the best practice

    If done right, continuity is the best thing.  You build an identity and you don't want outsiders to detract from it if it is working.  You risk less of a losing mentality, the type that plagued this team for years.

    Although we all know it was Allen's work ethic...

    If done right...you don't limit your search to in house only. They are in the mix, for sure.

     

    However where you say having outsiders detracts...that's one possible outcome. Another is it could enhance with the right fit.

     

    Doug Whaley was "groomed" and given the GM job. Doesn't always work well. The best search is a thourough one....including Dorsey and Hall from on house. And if they win it...super.

    I disagree. Josh Allen is getting to the point where he knows exactly what play to be in. Why would we want to take him out of this offense. He knows it like the back of his hand. The communication with his recievers has helped him make this giant leap to where he is today. Why would we want to change the verbiage and the playbook?

     

    Besides its not like Ken Dorsey is unqualified for the position. Daboll has been grooming him for an OC role for awhile now (Believe he was even allowed to call preseason games to get his feet wet). If he doesnt get our OC gig then he will get one somewhere else.  Then we are looking at filling OC and QB coach. Every great coordinator started out as a positions coach at some point. If they never got promoted then they wouldnt even be known has a great coordinator. Ken Dorsey is deserving of a promotion for the work he has done with not only Josh Allen but what he got out of Cam Newton.

    All I'm saying is that if Dorsey is the best for the job...fine. However, just handing him the reigns outright may be a disservice to the team. Find the best available candidate...even if it's not someone on the staff.

    I hope Beane has told Dorsey that he is next in line to keep the consistency there .

    I hope not.

     

    I hope if Daboll leaves I would hope the Bills take the time and effort to find the best available OC...not just a guy with no OC experience that happens to be here.

     

    This team is in the hunt for Super Bowls. Having a newbie OC cutting his teeth may be great for "continuity"...but it doesn't mean he's the best suited for the position.
