rumblefish Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 We have wondered what would the Bills be like today if Chip Kelly was hired , right now He looks like the best coach to come into the NFL in a long time, and the Eagles are so similar to the Bills in personal, would the Bills be contender right now, one can only wonder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I don't know, but I think it's neat that he has a bunch of coaches signaling plays at the same time. Silly and genious at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumblefish Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 as we continue to wonder, who is the next Chip Kelly, and are the Bills looking for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivermont Mike Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 We're not a contender? We are 5-4, have a top-10 defense, and if we can get the O-coordinators head out of his *ss, we can probably win another 5-6 games. Grass ain't greener on the other side.

rumblefish Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 we re not saying that we aren't pleased with the progress, all we were speculating on is would the team have gotten better quicker under Kelly, look when the team was 2-14 we didn't jump ship, we didn't quit rooting when the rest of the league was laughing at Bills and Bills fans, is Marone the answer, we hope so, but starting over "continuously" is not the answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 While I'm not certain, I think it's fair to say the biggest obstacle the Bills faced when they were hiring a head coach was the uncertainty of the franchise itself. Ralph, due to his age not his wallet, wasn't inspiring any confidence in the higher echelons of potential coaching hires, especially for a guy like Kelly who was trying to make the jump from NCAA to the pros. Taking a gig in Buffalo prior to Pegula was like taking a job in purgatory. Not only was the roster (at the time) devoid of real talent and a QB, the shaky ownership situation meant a coach could sign up to coach in Buffalo and end up coaching an expansion type team on the move -- no one wants to take that on. Now that that issue is behind us, the next coaching search -- whenever that should be -- should bring about a hirer caliber list of candidates than we've seen in Buffalo in a long time.

QB Bills Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 The weird thing is, its not like their offense has been playing lights out. Their defense and special teams have been opportunistic. Still, would have been awesome to see what he could have done here. But we can't. Because..obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half the board would be calling for Chip's firing. Half the board would arguing whether EJ or Orton should be starting. Half the board would be declaring our season over after every loss. Half the board would be posting about how we are really a 1-7 team if not for a few lucky plays. In other words, no different than it is now.

zow2 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) It was a brilliant move for Kelly and the Eagles to sign Sanchez. He never was as terrible as portrayed. Now they're still looking great even after the #1 QB goes down. Edited November 13, 2014 by zow2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 what happened to the fast paced O they tried last season and gave up on? Mr Butt Fumble has played 1 game.

Their defense and special teams have been opportunistic. Still, would have been awesome to see what he could have done here. But we can't. Because..obviously. They are 5th in the NFL in total yards http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/team/_/stat/total/sort/netYardsPerGame and 4th in the most important stat, points. http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/team/_/stat/total/sort/totalPointsPerGame And this is with a ton of oline injuries. It was a brilliant move for Kelly and the Eagles to sign Sanchez. He never was as terrible as portrayed. Now they're still looking great even after the #1 QB goes down. He was worse than EJ as a rookie (53%, 12 tds, and 20 ints). If we signed him, he's probably just as bad. But Kelly is a legit great offensive mind. And the fact that he wanted guys like EJ and Spiller makes me question this offensive coaching staff even more. We are wasting talent. We're not a contender? We are 5-4, have a top-10 defense, and if we can get the O-coordinators head out of his *ss, we can probably win another 5-6 games. Grass ain't greener on the other side. I think the point is we shouldn't be 5-4 hoping to make the playoffs. We should be one of the better teams in the AFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Chip Kelly, we are just as good as any AFC team besides Denver and NE. We have a top 6 defense in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireChan Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 You act as if Bills fans have nothing to complain about. You realize they've been one of the worst franchises in all of sports the past 15 years right? I'm sure if Chip Kelly were our coach the team would be at least 6-3 or 7-2 based on what he's done with the Eagles. The guy seems like a great coach. He would've been a better option then settling for the coach of the Syracuse Orange who did what exactly? Win a few pin stripe bowls? I think thats the OP's point. Except he wasn't an option. And the season isn't over. Maybe we should see how Chip Kelly does without having a miracle QB on the roster. Everyone remembers that he started Vick for the first half of the year? Why didn't he get flak for that moronic decision? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
