The only team in their division they beat was Washington. What does their division have to do with anything when their record in the division was 1-4-1? A team whose coach goes 1-4-1 in the division & beats up on bad teams for two thirds of their wins is not going to have their coach win COTY. 3 wins were gimmes vs 3 horrible teams. Not mediocre, horrible. Those 3 teams are drafting 1,2 & 4. That's 1/3 of their wins. Also, in their final 8 games they went 2-5-1. Anyone who truly believes Daboll should be COTY is homering more than Barry Bonds on steroids.

The 49ers won 3,5 more games than the Giants. 6 of the Giants 9 wins were against sub .500 teams. 3 of wins were against the worst, 2nd worst & 4th worst teams in the NFL. Those 6 games were against teams with a combined record of 32-68-2. The Giants 3 other wins were against Washington, Baltimore & Jacksonville. Most of the tough teams on the Giants schedule, they lost to.

It's obviously Shanahan & the playoff game was after the votes were all in. All the Daboll is a lock folks will be sorely disappointed when the voters from the entire nation & not just followers of east coast teams vote. I wouldn't be surprised if Daboll finishes behind a coach in his own division, Nick Sirianni, who is the likely runner up. Daboll might also end up behind Kevin O'Connell. A 9-7-1 record while finishing 3rd in the division is not Coach of the Year material. But they vote when the season ends, so the playoffs don't count towards Coach Of The Year. If they waited the Super Bowl winning coach would win every year.

When was the last time one of the Super Bowl final 4 within a conference or a top 2 seed has started a rookie 7th rounder or UFA QB? I can't think of any prior to Purdy. To have a late round/UFA rookie QB this ready is unheard of. Even Brady was a 2nd year player as a 6th rounder the year before and had a full season riding the bench as the team's 4th string QB.

Shanahan turned Mr. Irrelevant into Filet Mignon.

Let's get real. The clear winner is Kyle Shanahan, and when the real votes are in that's who will win in a landslide. Shanahan won his division, got the #2 seed & was undefeated in games started by the last player taken in the 2022 draft, QB Brock Purdy. He's on his 3rd QB and winning with a guy who never started an NFL game before he went in late in December. The poll above is the ultimate homer vote. Daboll did a good job, but he had the 3rd best record in his own division. Here's a dose of reality: The Giants were closer to last place in the NFC East than 1st place. The biggest thing Daboll did was prove that Joe Judge had no business ever being a head coach in the NFL. Daboll got a decent season out of the #6 overall pick, it's just not the same as winning with Mr. Irrelevant in his rookie year.

Bryce Young vs CJ Stroud - Both in the Draft now

What prior QBs at a school did in the NFL has nothing to do with the latest QB. How many NFL franchise QBs came from Wyoming prior to Josh? -
NFL greed and when will you turn it off?

She was 85 when the game started😄 -
We're not playing a divisional opponent next week. Before last week I wanted both NE & Miami out since a divisional opponent knows you better and can be your toughest playoff opponent regardless of record. We fans got complacent after blowing out NE last year and forgot just how tough a team that knows you can make things.

Bills/Dolphins Wild Card pre-game thread

Damar is staying home & watching on TV. -
This is similar to Bill Belichick who pronounces his father's name differently than how his name is currently pronounced. The discussion starts around the 30 second mark in the video.

BROCK PURDY: for real or fools gold ?
Albany,n.y. replied to Italian Bills's topic in The Stadium Wall
He's real and he's spectacular! He's a good fit in Shanhan's offense and that's all that really matters. -
Chargers @ Jaguars Playoff Game Thread (i.e. NOT a Bills thread;-)

At 24-0 I switched to the season premier of Your Honor on Showtime On Demand. Fortunately it ended before the Jags 2nd TD & I was able to watch the rest of the game. i -

I'd fire Staley in the locker room and put him on a separate plane home. i -
If SF can get a conditional 1st in the 2024 draft they should trade Lance.

Florio: Brady to the Dolphins "Definitely on the Table"
Albany,n.y. replied to Nextmanup's topic in The Stadium Wall
Time for a Bills fan to crash through that table & end this nonsense. Unless Tua retires Brady has no business going to the Dolphins. -
Wow…Sammy Watkins statement on Lamar 😬😳🥶🤦🏼♂️
Albany,n.y. replied to Alphadawg7's topic in The Stadium Wall
Let's remember that for 3 years his backup was RGIII. I'm sure they have had lots of talks about how a once promising career was derailed by playing injured & making the injury worse. Nobody wants to repeat what happened to RGIII, especially someone without any long term contract with guarantees. -
Ravens and Lamar do not reach contract agreement
Albany,n.y. replied to Steel City Mafia's topic in The Stadium Wall
A good example of putting numbers up by default is when we had Robert Foster in Josh's rookie year putting up decent numbers. Whenever I see someone who says that Josh sucked as a rookie, I point out how even as a rookie Josh was making his WRs look better. That's one of the reasons I was sold on Josh long before the people wedded to stats were. Even when he was completing passes in the 50% range (with bad WRs & bad O-Line), the talent was visually there. -
Ravens and Lamar do not reach contract agreement
Albany,n.y. replied to Steel City Mafia's topic in The Stadium Wall
When you miss almost 30% of the games the last 2 seasons, it's tough to negotiate a long term contract. The franchise tag may be the only way to go for both sides. -
OBJ & Darryl Talley should travel together.

Super Bowl - Are you likely to go?
Albany,n.y. replied to Captain Caveman's topic in The Stadium Wall
To those serious about going: If you plan on driving on gameday, it's going to be tough getting parking anywhere near the stadium. The cheapest I found was $150 in a hotel garage about 0.3 miles away. Stadium parking is almost unavailable & the few spots I've seen are asking in the thousands. Anyway, here's a link to the $150 parking, it may be the only "reasonably" priced parking. The last time I parked near the Super Bowl site I parked about 5 miles from Met-Life and got shuttle bused to the game. The price was $105 & that indexes up to $130 in today's $s. https://www.groupon.com/tpis/deals/dee53753-f4b8-4f74-9ae8-08c3e932330c/booking?option_id=9f909c45-700b-41e1-8e54-b5939b9e0765 Imagine being in the stadium when the Bills win their 1st Super Bowl-PRICELESS! -
Gregg Rosenthal's track record on Bills moves in the early years of the Bills current management is pretty bad. Ironically he picked the best coaching hire of 2017 as the guy the Bills didn't want. Never trust a guy named Gregg who spells his name with 3 Gs. Here is his take on the Bills being losers when they drafted Josh: https://www.nfl.com/news/2018-nfl-draft-debrief-winners-and-losers-from-round-1-0ap3000000929261 Losers Buffalo Bills: The Billstraded out of their No. 10 overall pick a year ago, passing on the chance to draft Patrick Mahomes or Deshaun Watson in favor of amassing draft capital. This season, the Billsused significant draft capital to trade up for quarterback Josh Allen (moving from 12th overall to seventh). The kids would call that hustling backward, especially when Allen has an uphill climb just to surpass previous Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor's level of production. Bills fans will point to this being the first draft for GM Brandon Beane, who was hired last May, but that only emphasizes how tricky it is to come up with a cohesive roster when the GM and coach are always in flux. Allen could prove his skeptics wrong, and his athleticism is unquestionable, but Josh Rosen has clearly displayed a more obvious NFL skill set. Allen is reminiscent of a souped-up version of another Bills first-round quarterback: J.P. Losman, a player with accuracy issues who was a star in the pre-draft season because of his measurables. Losman was taken 22nd overall in the 2004 NFL Draft and proceeded to compile a 10-23 record in Buffalo. Give Beane some credit for his conviction in Allen and talented all-around linebacker Tremaine Edmunds (taken by the Bills at No. 16 overall), who should be a tackle machine in coach Sean McDermott's system. I hope I'm wrong about Allen, because a happy Bills fan base makes for a better NFL.
