Yobogoya!

Lol D Flop

If teams didn’t routinely choke and shoot themselves in the foot vs this team, they’d have been nowhere near the 1 seed and I don’t think they get here without that (this year anyway). The Chris Jones/Spags combo just stymies 90% of the quarterbacks in this league. Every game if their game to win if they just don’t make mistakes because of that combo.

Sugar High Mahomes!!!

Can’t wait for Erin Andrew’s halftime interview with Ron Torbert, where she’ll ask him what hasn’t been going well for his crew and what adjustments they need to make 😆

We really don’t on offense either. Both lines are quite good. But Allen instead of Hurts is a cheat code of epic proportions, it’s about the only thing that levels the scales.

They have to know our pass rush sucks. Problem is they’ve tried for 8 years to build one and haven’t been able to. Will they change their mentality on what type of player they want, and will they adjust their scheme? That’s the questions.

This pass rush is just lights out. Same way the giants beat Brady 2x.

We sure could use an experienced coordinator on at least one side of the ball.

We don’t have receivers who can win off the line? My guess.

Trust the process. These things take time to build.

This Philly D is championship caliber for sure. Fast, big, aggressive.

Did you not watch any Bills football during the drought? lol 😅

Hurts gets my vote for most overrated this coming offseason.

I’d have rather picked up “budget Deebo” Cordarelle Patterson any one of the previous offseason he was available. Deebo’s perception of his value and the reality of it have never been in sync.

I mean by that logic half the head coaches and coordinators in the league have no reason to be there. Hyde’s position on the practice squad was basically “coach on the field” with no real expectation of play time. And if he wants to chase a ring, that’s gonna be the only way he could do it at this point. Wouldn’t be a big shocker to me if he went that route.

I think it's less about McDermott's scheme "neutering" a great player, and more that he doesn't scheme up anything particularly impressive. Belichick got 10+ sack seasons out of such vaunted names as Marc Anderson and Tulla Banta-Cain. Maybe it's not fair to compare McD to one of the best defensive minds of all time, but do you really think he hasn't left at least something on the table with the talent he's had to work with? Does Belichick get 10+ sacks out of Rousseau? Does Spags? Rousseau might not ever be a world beater but if its possible for a coordinator in this league to scheme up pressure from Tulla Banta-Cain, it's fair to wonder out loud if McDermott just isn't that great at min/max'ing our pass rush talent. And if we drop someone like Maxx Crosby on this team and the pass rush improves, does McDermott deserve credit for that? Or are you saying there's just nothing these coordinators can do? I'm honestly asking, cuz if that's the case then we should almost never be questioning scheme, we should only be questioning the talent... right?

He took the brunt of the blame for the worst-run organizational years of the franchise but I don’t think many coaches could have gotten more than 7 wins a year out of those rosters. In retrospect he probably got those teams to over achieve. Rip coach .

I think Vinatieri got hosed. I know people roll their eyes at kickers/specialists getting in, but if any kicker deserved a first-ballot HOF induction its him. All-time NFL leading scorer, made clutch kicks for four championship teams with two different organizations and played for two decades while being incredibly reliable basically up until his last year. Some of his postseason performances were legendary.

And also Garappolo's first three starts in 2016 while Brady was suspended. Guy went 3-0 and that was effectively the launchpad for Jimmy G's entire career. Question will be whether McDaniels respects Vrabel enough to get along and take commands. We can surmise from the Raiders and Broncos fiascos that McDaniels is a control freak who needs to be reeled in to be effective. Guy obviously wasn't going to question Belichick, but I think his only other time as someone else's OC was with the 2011 Rams under Spags who went 2-14.. should be interesting to see how this goes.

It’s so hard to know the true dynamics of that side of the ball. It was hard to figure out with Frazier and now with Babich.. I mean we can be certain Bobby wasn’t given free rein to design his own scheme, but is he simply calling McDermott’s hand crafted playbook? To what extent is he putting any kind of his own stamp on things? Ultimately he wouldn’t be let go unless him and McDermott are secretly butting heads behind the scenes. If Babich has concerns or things he wants to implement and is getting shut down, can’t imagine he’d want to continue just being the figurehead for McDermott’s scheme.

Yeah no doubt we were spoiled by some high level guys. McD has historically gotten the most out of his DB’s but we didn’t do enough to keep the cupboard stocked and it caught up to us hard.

Gonna need to add at least one veteran at both CB and S and probably spend one draft pick at both spots as well. Secondary went from being a perennial strength to a complete crapshoot in a hurry over the last two years.

Have to say I hope the Bills go a lot less “Bills type” this draft. The process archetype isn’t producing the type of game changers we’ve needed to get over the hump. Not that I think they’ll break character at this point, but a boy can dream.

Even with the bad spots and completely BS call on that Worthy non-catch, better game plan and better execution gets us the win. The referee didn’t let skin and bones Worthy rip away the interception, Cole Bishop did. Worthy just wanted it more. Referees didn’t call half a dozen failed QB sneaks to the left, the Bills did. Not to excuse the endless BS calls and non calls that favor the Chefs, but if McD isn’t going to complain during the game then what’s the point of the players complaining about it after? It’s already in the books.
