I think Flacco is the better qb so that could make the game easier for us!

Well said. We have made some questionable moves that has led to us not having as much top end talent. But it is a very mid AFC and very open for the taking. I just worry our flaws that hold us back (lack of receiving talent, defense, coaching) will show up again in the playoffs.

Fair but they also talk about Saban being a coach willing to adjust and change with the times too. Honest question, was being a Bama OC under Saban with those rosters really a hard job?

I’m not the biggest Daboll fan but that’s really unfair. Allen became a better player in the nfl than he was in the mountains west. He got the same OC for 4 years, which never happens. Allen wasn’t close to this player his first 2 years. Daboll took a raw talent and helped mold him into a MVP. He deserves credit for that. The rest of his resume is meh.

I read this as made out.

Leslie Frazier got fired after having a top 3 defense. I don’t necessarily need anyone fired but a major problem with this team (which is still a SB contender) is bad draft picks and bad contracts.

Fair but I think almost any OC could have shined with that talent and they did (Kiffin, Sark, the Maryland coach). Like you have to be brain dead not to light it up as a Bama OC. wasnt Tua also like the number 1 recruit? The best thing on Daboll’s resume is developing Allen. It’s pretty mid otherwise.

I don’t know man. He was terrible at the end of NE, he has been terrible at UNC (basically any time he hasn’t had Brady), he’s like 75, and his “girlfriend” who is with him for all the right reasons is a disaster.

I’m honestly treating Bills road games like an excuse for a vacation. I’ll tailgate and watch the game at a bar. I hate opposing stadiums. I’m a pretty big boy (not cocky, just facts) but I don’t want to have some loser opposing fan do something dumb.

Next on First Take: is Josh Allen holding the Bills back? What do you think Stephen A? Zero chance. We’re going to lose but it’s still the nfl.

I fully credit Daboll for helping make Allen the player he has become. But he is such an overrated coach. He has basically only been a a good offensive coach with Allen (too be fair, he has done a good job with Dart). Hurts became a much better player after he left him. So did Jones. He also seems to a lot to deal with . He was 20-40 so his firing is well warranted and he was given a longer leash than most coaches get with that record. I know the popular take it to hate Brady now. But fun fact, the Bills scored more points with Brady than any season with Daboll. And that was with prime Diggs (top 10 wr) and crazy Cole (might be the best wr on this roster), oh yeah, he helped Allen win a MVP. but if he wants to come back to tell Allen jokes and that helps, sure. Bring that chubby guy back. What year is where we think Belichick is still an option teams are going to consider? He has been on a downward spiral for the last 5 years and has a psycho “girlfriend “ that makes decisions for him. I will bet you a lot of money he never gets another coaching job again,

Biggest weakness on this team next to pass rusher (though Bosa has been really good). It’s fine against most teams but it shows up in the playoffs. This team is awesome but it is wild that a guy with Allen’s arm is becoming a dink and dunk passer. I bet we make another trade this year.

So much for 1 - anyone could do Cook’s role 2 - Allen has no help. Cook gets better every year and thankfully the front office was smarter than some fans. The whole idea of the MVP conversation is so dumb in the first place. Football is the ultimate team game. You aren’t going to be a MVP playing on an awful team with no talent. It’s why I hated the Allen MVP talked (I called him winning last offseason) because it boiled down to some fans just crapping on the rest of the team. We have a top 5 (at worst) oline and a top 10 (probably higher) rb. It doesn’t take away from Allen being awesome but they certainly play a major role in helping Allen.

The talks of letting Cook walk because anyone could do that were dumb then and even dumber now. Davis is a nice guy and could be a nice change of pace. But he is almost the same age as Cook, which a lot more tread of his tires from playing 5 years in college, and doesn’t have the burst.

If you touch a player, the player should be able to fight you. glad the Bills handle this right.
