Making the playoffs with Mac Jones may be the most impressive thing Belichick has ever done, in hindsight.

I think the question to me is simple. Give Lynch and Shanny the reins from 2020 -20224 and compare it to what Beane/McD did in those same years? Who do you think would have more success over that span? I think it’s clearly Lynch and Shanny.

That because we don’t need a QB, the biggest black eye on Shanny/Lynch in not being able to find one is largely irrelevant. Everything else they do ranges from pretty good to great, except for a few too many drafted RB’s. Kinda fits our situation like a glove.

None of them were the best or the second best. IMO.

Not sure you’re even listening at this point lol.

Beane and McD. I don’t know what your point is. They found Josh, so they deserve to get as many chances as they want to fail with him? Unlike the other coaches who have done more with far lesser QB talent, and have built extremely star-heavy talented rosters? This isn’t a discussion about if we were starting a fictional franchise. If it were, you would be right, the Lynch/Shanny combo has completely bungled the QB room. That’s their biggest red mark. Luckily, here in Buffalo, we have a wonderful, incredible, proven QB, so that’s red mark doesn’t really matter.

We have the QB right, today. Maybe the best QB. Do you think Josh would turn into Jimmy G with Shanny as his play caller?

Yeah and I don’t think their resume is worse than their Bills counterparts. they can’t beat Mahomes in the Super Bowl with Brock Purdy or Jimmy G. They proved they can annihilate other HoF QB like Rodgers with a severe QB disadvantage. The elite pieces is the point. At this point, who would I take to get through Mahomes\Reid? The guys who get close because they get most of everything else right except the QB. We have the QB. A few more Aiyuk’s, Hufungas, Bosas, Kittles and Fred Warners around Josh and we would crush them.

I don’t think his resume is any worse than McD/Beane

I honestly would’ve guessed AJE had under 4 sacks. Quietest 5 sack season thus far I can remember. I can’t remember a single one.

Very normal behavior by a guy who definitely didn’t mean to hurt another player.

smart money is on Micah imo. I feel like some safeties can get by on brains alone even if they have lost a step or two (Micah has tbf.)

Who is faster in a foot race today, Damar Hamlin or Micah Hyde?

Can we just shout out @Simon for merging his own thread with his talking heads thread? Talk about leading from the front.

What number does he get??

Is it a coincidence that every coach on that list, outside of Landry a million years ago, had either the best or second best QB in the NFL?

I think if Micah comes back it’s because Bishop isn’t ready yet. Not to replace Hamlin or Rapp

I consider not being able to beat Mahome in the playoffs with Josh Allen at QB and not being able to beat Mahomes in the playoffs with Jimmy Garropolo or Brock Purdy at QB to be far difference scenarios. Jmo.

Do you still get Sabres seasons or nah lol

Yes yes yes.

Nothing better than attacking posters for hypothetical future posts that are “inevitable” after winning a Super Bowl despite never winning a Super Bowl. Lol

Ben Johnson and whatever AGM you can pluck from Philly would be sick. I think Beane and McD are locked at the hip. If I had to fire one of them and keep the other, I would lean toward tossing Beane overboard. I think McD can coach his ass off at times. I think I fundamentally disagree with Beane’s strategies.

GM/HC? Maybe Shanny/Lynch. Obviously Reid/Veach. I would go as far as say Howie/Sirianni, even though I really don’t like Sirianni, but I like Howie a lot.

I have always thought McD was in the top 10ish when it came to current NFL coaches. Thats not different today. I have also had questions whether he and Beane were the right guys to get us past Reid and Mahomes. That’s also not different today. If you said, the Bills need a coach to win a random game, who are you taking, imo, McD is high on that list. If you said, the Bills need a GM/HC combo to execute a strategic vision over 4 years culminating in the SB victory, I feel less strongly about their position on that less. If they win one, great. Rooting for all the success in the world. But I have doubts.

Mack Attack is currently leading the Bills in snaps at WR.
