PlayoffsPlease Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 2017 - New England Patriots - Made it to the playoffs Bill Bellicheks second year as head coach 2016 - Denver Broncos - won the Super Bowl Gary Kubiak's first year as head coach. 2015 - New England Patriots - Made it to the playoffs Bill Bellicheks second year as head coach 2014 - Seattle Seahawks - made it to the playoffs Pete Carrol's first year as head coach 2013 - Baltimore Ravens - made it to the playoffs John Harbaugh's first year as head coach 2012 - NY Giants - made it to the playoffs Tom Coughlin's second years as head coach 2011 - Green Bay packers - made it to the playoffs second year as head coach 2010 - New Orleans Saints - made it to the playoffs the Sean Peyton's second year as head coach 2009 - Pittsburgh Steelers - made it to the playoffs Mike Tomlin's second year as head coach 2008 - made it to the playoffs Tom Coughlin's second years as head coach For all of those who are saying we need to wait four or five years to see if McBeane has the right stuff, recent history suggests Super Bowl winners are coached by coaches who get their teams to the playoffs the first or second season they coach the team. But hey in the 60's and 70's things were different, so there is that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMF2006 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 But the difference is that historically those teams qualify for the playoffs;) We gotta crawl before we can walk;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayoffsPlease Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 Brady, Peyton, Brees, Big Ben, Rodgers...if we had one of those guys I would agree It doesn't really matter if you agree or not. I simply posted 10 facts. They are still true facts even if you disagree. Brady, Peyton, Brees, Big Ben, Rodgers...if we had one of those guys I would agree Eli and Wilson and Flacco in their too. I guess it suggest that good teams find both a coach/QB combo that can win pretty quickly, if they are ultimately going to be super bowl champs.

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Brady, Peyton, Brees, Big Ben, Rodgers...if we had one of those guys I would agree I agree, maybe he'll be on the field by 2019, the one they draft next year? Superbowl, wont say with certainty but slim chance. Playoffs, that's what I'm feeling. 10 wins/wildcard? from there, who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffismagic Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 If McD and Beane win less games than Rex and Rob Ryan in 2 years have them pack their bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 So you're saying Rex and Rob are gonna do it this year?! Adding rob has to be the key. Great hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 While I agree with the OP.... those organisations didn't have 17 years worth of losing to cut out. I think we have to be a little more patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mulligan for the first year.Significant improvement for the second year. Playoffs for the third year. Any new regime that can't turn this team around in 3 years has no business being in Buffalo.

row_33 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Yes, good coaches are retained for longer terms. You need the last individual 10 franchises to win the SB, repeats stack the deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) Mulligan for the first year. Significant improvement for the second year. Playoffs for the third year. Any new regime that can't turn this team around in 3 years has no business being in Buffalo. I would normally agree... the reason I have said 4 years this time is that I suspect year 2 or more likely year 3 will be a rookie Quarterback year. It's why I was very pro taking one this draft. I think the class was much better than the media consensus and I think if (as I suspect we will be) we are done with 4 or 5 weeks to go you can get the rookie in and have him start the process and go into camp next year as the starter.

wilcoam Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I find it uber fascinating that Bill fans seem to be resigned to losing with Sean HC, and talking patience And yet were furious about playing just .500 with Rex with little patience The ownership and org have dome a great job creating a narrative of belief lowering expectations, lol I;m telling everyone, even if you refuse to listen, that 6 wins and or 10 wins, is 6 or 10 wins no matter who's in charge The rest is just perception, context, and propaganda IE - If our Bills in 2017 only win 6 games then Sean HC didn't succeed in his rookie campaign You are what your W-L record indicates regardless of the argument fans and owners will offer up in defense Food for thought jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
