Expand I agree, and the offense was quite impressive in Daboll's debut.... but if the success comes as quick as you and I hope then I will be a nervous Nellie.. SO I hope at least with any immediate/short term success comes with the mindset of " I still have a job and goal to achieve 1st" Which is winning a superbowl.

Some folks here just get ridiculous over a preseason game Expand Couldn't have been said better. There's people to evaluate that'll potentially make the roster purely based on their special teams performances.
Real McClappy Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 What is this madness? It's preseason for Christ sake.

It's not so much about winning the game.

Somebody actually posts that Coach punted so as to evaluate a second string punter who has zero chance to make the roster. So a critical fourth and three situation close to games end is not an ideal situation to test your #1 pick and your offense; it’s far more important to test a punter and guys will not be on the team in 3 weeks. Genius insight Expand Do you really not comprehend the concept of preseason?

Maybe the two double digit losses to the Patriots last year at least gave them a hint that their ball control, run first offense doesn’t cut it in this era of NFL football. Or maybe watching Philadelphia use their 2nd string QB to completely shred Minnesota & Pats defense in consecutive weeks. Or a Super Bowl which had one punt the entire game, as two pass first offenses slugged it out. But I do have concern that Coach McD will not follow through with this philosophy when the regular season roles around. What gives me pause is his complete disregard for analytics, leading to his complete mismanagement of strategic/game time decisions. So with about 3 minutes to go, down 11 points, 4th and three, his decision, in defiance of all analytics (and common sense) is to punt the ball ( and the game) away. And this in the PRE SEASON! Yikes. Almost as bad, TV “analyst” Tasker never even questions the move, nor did any of the media at post game press conference. Let’s hold a coach who is all about accountability; accountable himself for terrible game time decisions. This wasn’t the first time he has mangled important, game management decisions. And please don’t tell he wanted to give his second string punter some practice Expand We're DOOMED!!!!!
The Red King Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 So, lemmie see if I got this all straight. In just his first year as head coach, McD takes a team that looked terrible on paper, a team many said would be fighting for top draft pick, a team that almost everyone on the board here and experts alike claim seriously overachieved for their talent level...took that team, managed to get to 9-7, a playoff birth, and the Bills' most successful season in the entirety of the 21st century. ...and there are actually people here who think he's terrible and needs to be fired? ?
