You spelled Sean wrong. Defense was ranked #1 and #2 in 2021 and 2022 under Leslie.

We should bring in that guy who has a history of running #1 ranked defenses. What's his name again... oh right... Leslie Frazier.

In 2022, Leslie Frazier’s #2 ranked D went 13-3 missing the following players. Micah Hyde - 15 games Tre White - 11 games Von Miller - 8 Games Christian Benford - 7 games Damar Hamlin - 5 games Jordan Phillips - 4 games Jordan Poyer - 4 Games Gregory Rousseau - 3 Games Tremain Edmunds - 2 Games Ed Oliver - 2 Games Daquan Jones - 1 Game (Bengals Playoff!) Boogie Basham - 1 Game Dane Jackson - 1 Game Last year, Sean’s D folded in key moments against the Eagles, Bucs, Broncos, Pats, Giants, Chiefs. And 2 of those losses were partially the result of a mistimed blitz.

It was always the Pats fans for me more than the Pats themselves. Now Chiefs fans are getting on my nerves.

Imagine Dan Marino in today's game. Even more of a statue than Jimbo but lightning fast arm and accuracy.

I can't tell if you're intentionally downplaying what those changes were or if you genuinely don't know. I do. And it's not hard to see why Leslie "walked." Sometimes the circumstances make the decision for you. Like I said, calculated steps.

This isn’t about you—it’s about Leslie and the systemic issues in the NFL. Minority coaches have historically been underrepresented, even though most players are black, and this has been a hot topic in the league recently. Firing Leslie Frazier, who led the #1 defense, would create a PR nightmare because it highlights the NFL's history of sidelining black coaches. It would be a bad look for the league, which is why it was reported that he 'walked away.' Sorry to hear you’ve been fired so many times, if you were the #1 person in the world at what you did, you too would have every reason to be upset.

Sean wanted Leslie out. And took calculated steps to ensure that result. So maybe not fired, but certainly forced out. The only reason he wasn't fired is because you cannot fire a Black DC with the #1 ranked defense in 2022. PR nightmare. "Walking away" was a nice story though.

It's crazy that the Bills had the #1 and #2 ranked D in 2021 and 2022, and when the Bills O only scored 10 measly points vs the Bengals in the playoffs, Leslie got fired and Dorsey kept his job. This isn't always ranked as high as Sean's other mind boggling blunders like :13, but it should be.

Everyone roasted Leslie when his D was working with 4th and 5th safeties. Sean gets a pass? Thought he was the DB whisperer. Statistically, Sean's D was not as good as Leslie's. This version might even be worse.

Because I asked ChatGPT to predict the score and it picked the Lions.

And he's the only coach on that list that regularly blows 1-2 regular season games with bad coaching. See Rams and Texans.

Yep, went from having the #1 D under Leslie to this hot garbage.

I thought you were going to say you were a Rob Johnson guy over Doug Flutie.

2 out of 3 of our losses this year were the result of Sean’s bad decision making. If we won those games, we’d be control of the first seed and our own destiny. Yet, some people are just happy to make the playoffs every year. Last year, Sean’s D folded in key moments against the Eagles, Bucs, Broncos, Pats, Giants, Chiefs. And 2 of those losses were partially the result of a mistimed blitz. These may not seem as egregious as Sean’s boneheaded :13 blunder and his handing of the OC job to a rookie coach that wasted 1.5 years, but it’s still costing the team significantly. Anything short of getting to the Super Bowl this year with Josh Allen playing possibly his best ever football is a total fail on Sean’s part.

So you're saying our D did worse under Sean than Leslie and Bobby. Got it.

I jokingly promised my 9yo son I would get this tattoo and now he's holding me to it. If it weren't for Sean blowing it the last 3 years, I might already have that ink.

Sorry to hear this, I enjoyed reading his posts.

I have found little evidence that the word police is trying to cancel crazy, insane, certifiable, loony, nuts, cra-cra. Or at least it's not catching on anytime soon. In fact, it's so acceptable, advertisers are still willing to stigmatize the mentally ill for profit even in 2024. Pizza hut is literally running an ad right now that makes light of someone "being crazy" and seeing things, ie schizophrenia. A while back Volkswagen ran an ad called "jumper" where a man who was contemplating suicide decided not to jump because he found out the new VW was under 17k. I recommend anyone who thinks this is just political correctness/overthinking spend a day at a halfway house with people who suffer from severe mental illness. It's about as funny as kids with cancer. This ^

I have a Korean friend who used to joke that racists are so dumb, they can't even get their racism right.

I always found it interesting that we've all come to agreement that you cannot say Ret**d anymore, but somehow we still say Crazy, Insane, Certifiable, Cra-Cra, Loony etc when talking about things there are not, in fact, crazy. This totally acceptable language perpetuates the stigma against 20% of adults that suffer with mental illness. Especially the sickest of the sick, who are often a voiceless group that inherited these diseases no fault of their own. Advertisers are the worst offenders who often go for this low hanging fruit. Pizza Hut is currently running an ad where someone is seeing things that aren't there ... lol schizophrenia is so funny, isn't it? Nike had a famous campaign, "It's not crazy, it's sports." which of course we all loved. Could you imagine "it's not Ret**d*d, it's sports" lol.

This must be what it felt like to be a Pats fan for 2 decades. The rest of the AFC East is terrible.

You're probably right. But Sean makes 8 mil per year to make the right decisions for the franchise. He blundered :13. Then blundered the OC hire. That's 3 wasted years of Josh/Diggs prime.

Crazy that Sean let a rookie OC take wheel with Josh/Diggs in their prime. Waste of 2 years.

Andy has an 80% winning percentage with Mahomes. Sean at 65% and his bad decision making is often the reason the team loses. QBs are on the same level. Coaches are not.
