I agree with all of this. It does seem like the #1 qualification for becoming an NFL coach is having a father who was an NFL coach. I mean the Bills have a Shula and a Shurmur on staff. But Thad Lewis' experience in the NFL consists of two years as an assistant WR coach and one year as a QB coach. I would think that a few more years as an actual position coach would be necessary before getting an OC position. So I think that it would take one heck of an interview for him to get the job.
That’s fair but Dorsey was never an OC at any level when he got the job. Tomlin wasn’t even considered a serious candidate when he interviewed and he has never had a losing season no matter how garbage his qbs are.
I think giving a people who might not have a chance at the job in the first place ain’t a bad thing. We need less Hacketts and more coaches who earned their way there.

Mahomes is great....I'd love to see what he does without Mr. Swift though
He literally might have the worst receiving core in the nfl right now. And Kelce is clearly on the downside.

He has a 0% chance of getting the job. We are "doing him a solid" by giving him interview experience I guess. I just hate the Rooney rule. I think qualified candidates will find their ways to jobs by their resume, not because of the color of their skin.
Explain Nate Hackett? Or Pat Shurmur having two chances to be a head coach? Or Rob Ryan? Or Andy Reid’s ex heroin son being a d line coach? Or garbage Brian Schottmeir? Or a million other examples.
im not saying it’s all racism but it isn’t just the best guys getting the job. There is a guy in high school or college who is a million times better than Hackett but will never get a chance because is dad wasn’t a nfl coach or he’s not friends with the right people.

A black retread head coach! The nfl is so progressive now!
I would be a little nervous if I was a falcons fan because defensive coaches make me nervous. But if he can pluck a McVay OC and get a QB, there is some legit talent on that team and it’s a garbage division.

It isn't unfortunate for Thad Lewis, who gets much needed interview experience with one of the best organizations in the league. Maybe he surprises us and we peg him for future jobs.
Things change very quickly in the NFL. I am a proponent of interviewing as many qualified candidates as possible since there is nothing to lose.
Tomlin won’t have gotten the Steelers job if he wasn’t given a chance.
the rule certainly has its flaws but the nepotism/ buddy system in the bro hiring is out of control. You recycle the same garbage coaches/ front office people because they are related to them or friends with them.
but who needs another Brad Holmes when you can hire the ex Chargers GM who just got fired?

Why? Explain it. Sounds like a young guy getting an opportunity to get a job.

Ok, whatever LJ had 8 lost turnovers in 2019
Josh has had 16, 18 19 and 22 lost turnovers. It's not like Josh was turning the ball over 35 times and Lamar only 10. The turnover numbers are pretty much all the same Lamar just got a little luckier that his guys fell on the ball more than Josh's guys did.
You want to rag on Joshs turnovers as a way to discredit him yet wont acknowledge all his other stats that best Lamar, please!
4 seasons now Josh has bested Lamars MVP year, stats dont lie.
So if Allen helped us get the number 1 seed; almost set a nfl record for amount of time leading in games (the Ravens have been stomping teams so they need to have garbage time stats); murdered some of the best teams in the nfl (SF, MiAmi, Texans, Detroit), and had Lamar’s stats, you won’t think he was the mVp?
Allen is absolutely amazing. But it was a very inconsistent offense and turnovers didn’t help. I think Allen can be an even better qb next year with less gaudy stats.

Even though he won’t win it, the fact that we have a QB who is even in the discussion blows my mind. I’m tough on Allen because I think some fans give him a pass (😉) for everything (turnovers were a big issue in the regular season.
but he truly is a special player. All the credit in the world for him becoming a better player than he was in the Mountain West, which seemed impossible. It is truly unbelievable.
3 minutes ago, Einstein said:How many of Lamar’s MVP’s have led to playoff wins? How many playoff wins did his lack of turnovers lead the Ravens to?
Lamar was 1-4 in the playoffs going into this season.
Allen has won more than double the playoff games Lamar has.
If the Ravens offered Lamar and 5 first round picks for Allen, I would laugh and hang up the phone. Allen > Lamar.
So if Lamar wins the SB, do those losses even matter any more? Peyton was awful in the playoffs until they won a SB.

Go back to the Ravens board.So if you point a concern that is valid (Josh would even say it himself), you must be a Ravens fan? What a silly post. This isn’t a cult.

This would be Josh Reed becoming the number 2 after Price left. Shakir could put up really good numbers next year but he doesn’t have the attributes to threaten a defense enough as a number 2. He would get clamped on the outside by most corners. Hes absolutely perfect in his role. Let’s get a legit threat in the draft.

Mario Williams is probably the most talented guy from the last 20 years with Kyle following up.
Dareus also could have been great (and probably still in nfl) he wanted it. He had a better 4 year start to his career than Warren Sapp.
imagine that 2014 d line (4 guys with 10+ sacks) on this team.
beane definitely is not great sr drafting d linemen. We need a game wrecker so badly.

Reid was known for not being able to finish the job. 5 NFCCG appearances and 1 Super Bowl appearance. He did that with QBs that were not as good as Josh Allen. McDermott with Josh Allen has reached 1 AFCCG. It's not remotely comparable. Even Spagnuolo is a better defensive coach than McDermott. So we have exactly zero coaching advantages over them.
You're the one that asked what explains the difference between the Bills and Chiefs over the past few years. I guess you've landed on QB. For me, even if you want to say Mahomes on the whole has been better than Allen, it's pretty obvious that the drop off between the rosters and the drop off between the coaching staffs is much greater than whatever drop off exists between Mahomes and Allen.
FWIW I think Allen and Mahomes have alternated who was better than who in each season since 2020. Mahomes was better in 2020 and 2022, Allen was better in 2021 and 2023. It is not enough of a difference in either direction to account for the vast difference in playoff success between the respective franchises.
Sure, we can make up extremely unlikely scenarios in our head all day. Kelvin Benjamin was with the Chiefs after he left the Bills. He was great there, right? Kadarius Toney really turned it around in KC, yeah? Tyreek Hill fell off the map when he left?
I don't know why it is so hard for so many fans to evaluate talent independently. Mahomes is an elite player. So is Allen. You can still watch the players around them and make judgments about their abilities. It's not that complicated.
And it figures that the one year the offensive talent around Mahomes is somewhat comparable to the offensive talent around Allen that the Chiefs defense becomes elite. Forget switching QBs in yesterday's game. Just switch the defenses and nothing else and it is plainly obvious who ends up winning the game.
Because it just comes across as sour grapes. Mahomes had a 130 rating after all we heard is he can’t win on the road. After winning 2 MVPs, 2SBs (one each without Hill), helped terrible Nagy get a head coaching job (while Daboll won a COY), under Andy Reid (who was known as a choker and got fired in Philly). So why can’t bills fans stop trying to dismiss that he is truly all time great. Imagine if scenario was switched, and KC fans tried to do this. We would think they were morons.
I mean I get this is offseason talk but man, let’s be better. We are lucky to have Allen but Mahomes is different man.
of course this is the board with a 100 page thread of mahomes throwing an int in training camp practice 😂

No they didn't? Hill and Kelce were already known as game changers. Hill just had his best season as a pro without Mahomes throwing him the ball. I really have no idea why you would believe this.
Game changing players matter more than anything else as far as winning the whole thing. A close 2nd is game changing coaches. The Bills simply don't come close to matching up in either area.
Hill hasn’t been on the chiefs in 2 years and they won a SB (PM a mvp) and are in the afc championship game (after eliminating Hill). Mahomes is that dude and it sucks. Their receiving core’s best player is a 2nd round rookie Gabe Davis now. And he still wins,
watch Gabe Davis go to the chiefs, have like 1,300 yards and 12 tds, and bills fans will say it’s because Mahomes has superior weapons.

KCs strangle hold on the division is going to end at the very least...great, another potential perennial power in the AFC forming...
Everyone picks the chargers to be that “sneaky” team every year and they always disappoint. One of those franchises with no luck. But it does seem like a great hire.

Allen did a great job protecting the ball in the playoffs. It makes it even more frustrating.

Hindsight is always 20/20. I think we gave up the draft choice for Jefferson in the Diggs deal. Who would you rather have now; Jefferson or Diggs.
Jefferson is the superior player but Diggs was more established and helped Allen take that leap. It was a win win trade though I’m getting pretty sick of Diggs.

Hopefully but I can’t imagine a worst chiefs offense than this year. They were so beatable. 😞

That defense was injured all year. Plus everyone who plays in Miami is soft. I don’t know who better they are going to get for DC but that defense is loaded with talent.

He literally would last 3 seconds on the job market.
He’s a weenie but is a top 5 playcaller.

Weirdo but great hire for them. He gets to retire in SoCal and people make care about that irrelevant team. Herbert’s stats are going to drop big time but that could be a dangerous team pretty soon.

With Hill (he was hurt), it does think that maybe the smaller number 1s can be neutralized in the playoffs. Personally, I always prefer the Mike Evans type but with the new rules, smaller route runners can dominate. But when the games become more physical, it would be nice to that number 1 guy who is open even when he isn’t open.

He was? Mahomes stats for the Super Bowl against TB: 26 of 49 passes for 270 yards, 0 TD's & 2 INT's with a rating of 52. Also 5 carries for 33 yards, 0 TD's.
Sure, the Chiefs O line was a wreck and Mahomes was running for his life but he still had a lot of weapons available. When Allen puts up numbers like this you people claim he sucked and if we point out a porous O line played a role you accuse us of making excuses for Allen.
There was not one instance this year where Allen’s oline was as bad as Mahomes was in that SB.

No one is disputing that Mahomes wouldn't win what is up for discussion is whether or not Mahomes would be going to AFCC games every year and winning a couple of Super Bowls in Buffalo. After all Allen wins a lot of games and has led the Bills to 5 straight playoff appearances and 4 straight division titles. I have no doubt that Mahomes would have equaled that production under McD had he been here.
As an aside I shudder at the thought of the offense Reid would fashion with Allen.
The problem with is with how sensitive some are, if you say Mahomes would have won SBs here, you will get labeled as an Allen hater, when this has zero to do with Allen.
The nfl league is mahomes and everybody else. IMO (and most non bills fans), Mahomes is one of the great qbs ever. He might be only qb who could have carried that KC offense with a Gabe Davis type rookie wr (Rice), literal garbage WRs, and declining Kelce to the title game. Allen is great as well. But it’s Mahomes and everyone else.
and I think the Ravens will win. But the fact this pretty garbage KC team is even close shows his greatest. No other qb beats us on Sunday.

Maybe 3 super bowl rings as he would have been better able to handle Tampa Bays pass rush in that game.
McD is what's holding them back. After that it's the decision to focus on defense at the expense of the offense.
And Mahomes wasn't throwing 50 TD's in Buffalo in 2018.
Mahomes was amazing in that TB Super Bowl considering how bad their o line play was.

This year his defense is elite though. Only reason they’re here.
Yeah, the two time MVP qb isn’t a huge part of the reason they are there.
I get this is coping but putting Mahomes down to cope is a wild move. There are zero other fanbases that would try to discredit how great he is.

Bills to interview Thad Lewis for OC
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
was the old system of them not getting interviews better? Former backup qb who was the qb coach of helping Baker revive his career is a pretty solid start to a coaching resume.
a lot of the McVay clones get hired off being first time OCs and qb coaches.
