Chaos

You have to trust the process. Without process you have Chaos.

its a big if. But I Diggs is my favorite Bill after Allen, and would be sad to see him go.

If this is true, then you can't keep both Diggs and Dorsey and expect to succeed.

The great NFL success stories in the super bowl era (with one exception) feature a Coach and QB whose names go together like Abbott and Costello, hard to think of one without the other: Lombardi-Star Bellichek-Brady Noll-Bradshaw Walsh-Montana No one really connects McDermott - Allen in a similar way. It is not that McDermott is a defensive guy. The problem is he seesm to no ownership of the offense. He even almost seems to compete for resources with offense. Belichek may have been a defensive guy, but he made sure that Brady almost always had the best oline in the league in front of him. He owned big decisions like cutting Randy Moss.

Seriously, the Bengals had more running yards than in 16 of 17 prior games. With three starting online members out. If they had "more talent", then you should be screaming for Beanes head.

He admits nothing. He was outcoached and out prepared. This is passive aggressive nonsense from him "I did my job, but the players didn't do theirs". Its BS.

The auxillary question is, did the Bronco's make the correct decision having Dan Reeves coach the first 11 years of John Elways career?

My understanding is that McDermott is a "Defensive HC". A lot of people think the defense will get better if Frazier is gone. If this defense is McDermott's scheme, and the personnel we have on the roster have been picked for their fit to the scheme, what is the expected upside of replacing Frazier? Is it simply play calling, or do people think McDermott is going to give free reign to a new DC to install their own system?

compared to say the cheifs and bengals?

He is not a primdonna. Primadonna athletes bword when their teams win, but they didn't get their touches. Diggs bwords when we lose because the OC doesn't know what he is doing. Big difference.

you seem to miss the point. Landry and Reid actually made it to championship games and super bowls. McDermott is a divisional round playoff guy after peaking three seasons ago.

Or listen to his complaints and solve the problems he is pointing out. we made the final 8 last year and the final 8 this year. Among the final 8 teams we are not the youngest, and we have the worst salary cap situation. We are not a couple of tweaks away.

Did you know who Nick Sirianni or Sean McVay were before they were hired?

No coach/QB combo since the 1970s has taken more than five years to get to their first super bowl appearance. Some coaches have. But the last time a coach with the same QB took more time was Madden/Stabler.

The Eagles fired him after four straight NFC Championship game appearances. There comes a point. Tom Landry was fired despite a resume with three super bowl wins. Sometimes change is better. Bills fans are scarred because of our history of epically bad head coaches.

In an entire internet of foolish comments your post manages to stand out as particularly stupid.

14-0 hole from the defense, and the HC coach being forced to punt at the end of the first half because of the sucky defense is the full story.

Cincy was such a class act about the entire situation with the cancelled game, that I don't understand any Bills fan rooting against them for the rest of the playoffs.

I think this is the issue. How do you change the defense with McDermott as head coach. That is supposed to be his forte. McDermott takes no ownerhsip of the offense, and lets face it, he is not a top tier game day coach. So if he hires a DC with free reign, what is the purpose of McDermott being here.

This was oddly merged with a different thread. I think this link takes you to the post you referenced.

Totally throws off the competitive balance for the teams who are not in the playoff and changing coaching staffs. Ridiculous suggestion.

They changed this not too many years back, because the coaches on the successful teams were being screwed out of opportunities. Don't see this changing. It is certainly not tampering.

The last time an HC Combo won their first super bowl together after their fourth season together was John Madden and Kenny Stabler in the 70's. Anything is possible, some outcomes are more predictable than others.
