Houston's #1 Bills Fan Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Only one game comes to mind......but that team he beat doesn't like their real name anymore! So much so, they moved! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComradeKayAdams Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 We also could have had Anthony Lynn if we wanted. However, it's important to note that both Reich and Lynn came into situations where a franchise QB already was in place. 5 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True of the chargers who I think were truly being held back by the idiot mike McCoy who has since been fired by not one but two ensuing OC jobs. But the Colts are an emerging but not established roster and a QB coming back from long term injury of his ..: throwing. Shoulder. Reich gets my COY vote for sure.

Malazan Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I wanted Reich for the Bills coach. He seems to have a good grasp on being the head coach and not the coordinator in chief. I wanted no part of Lynn and while I'm happy for him because he was the best part of Rex's staff. I don't think he would have enjoyed success here. I think he would have had a much harder time attracting staff to Buffalo. All that being said, I am happy with McDermott. He has the defense playing well and hasn't lost the team despite the losing. I'll be interested to see what happens with Allen at QB for a full season along with an offseason to work on his issues. If this team could put up a meager amount of points instead of an embarrassing amount then they can win 9-10 games without adding any free agents in the offseason. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like all three of these coaches. The chargers are my second team and I admittedly have some issues with Lynn’s game management and some other stuff but at the end of the day I can’t argue with the results.

Don't get me wrong, I like Lynn and the job he's done there. I think there's guys who coach bad teams to acceptable results, coaches who can coach very good teams to very good results, guys who can coach anything and all the levels in between. Lynn just doesn't strike me as a guy who can coach a bad team and take on the organizational responsibility that's on the head coach in Buffalo. Marv Levy always struck me as the same type of coach as I perceive Lynn to be.. tl;dr I think Lynn was an exceptionally smart hire for the Charges and would have been a very bad one for the Bills.

Marv Levy always struck me as the same type of coach as I perceive Lynn to be.. I cant bring myself to think the chargers will ever win anything of consequence. But I also did not think they would beat the Steelers or Chiefs on the road. They have so much talent but I always think something is missing. It’s usually coaching. Lynn has been very up and down but he has really good coordinators. Maybe this is (finally) their year?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Lynn and Reich are good coaches, but the presence of a franchise QB gives them an automatic head start that McDermott didn't have. I think McDermott is going to be fine, and I'm encouraged that Josh Allen looks increasingly like he has the essential characteristics to develop into a franchise QB. When he does, he'll be younger and have many more years ahead of him than Luck/Rivers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv Levy always struck me as the same type of coach as I perceive Lynn to be. Completely agree. I think it remains a question for McDermott on the flip side too. He has proven he is a good football coach and can eek every last ounce out of undertalented rosters. But there are guys who can do that and then never win when they get given really good rosters - I think Marvin Lewis fits into that category, I think to a lesser extent Jim Harbaugh does too. McDermott needs to show that he isn't a guy for whom 9 or 10 wins is a ceiling even when the talent is there. I am confident he can, but he has to prove it.

Alphadawg7 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Why can’t all 3 coaches be good young coaches? Why do Bills fans try so hard to prove Bills got something wrong? McD has done quite well, but some Bills fans really struggle to see positives. 1. Led a team with TT at QB to the playoffs to snap 17 year streak. And that team wasnt very good, yet if Zay doesn’t screw up week 2 on last play of game we were a 10 win team. 2. How many of you realize that Josh Allen would be 7-2 as a starter right now if not for Clays drop and a ST Blunder against Jets? And he might be 8-2 if he doesn’t get hurt during Houston game as we had legit shot to win that game. Think about that. McD has this team playing hard despite not being talented enough on offense. Allen SHOULD absolutely be 7-2 right now this year, and that’s with garbage around him. McD and Beane set things up great going into next year. Plenty of cap room, defense already pretty good, and our potential franchise QB in place. I honestly would not swap McD for either Lynn or Reich right now. I’m beyond happy with the job he has done and looking forward to seeing this team with Allen after he gets a whole offseason as the unquestioned starter and some offensive help on the OL and at WR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted Reich when the bills were doing their coaching search after firing Rex. If I recall correctly, he was scheduled to interview here and never did because they hired McDermott. I still love Reich and he's done well wherever he's coached. Same can be said for McDermott. Was just making the point, that Reich would've been a good hire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeF Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Is he Jack Nicklaus' grandson? Love what Frank is doing in Indy. Really like what Coach McDermott is doing here. I think we have the right man for the Bills and Indy has the right man for Andrew Luck and their crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollars 2 donuts Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 To equal the playing field for comparison purposes next year is there any chance we can get San Diego and Indy to bench their future Hall of Fame QBs for the entire year and rack up about 50 plus million dollars in dead cap space during the off season?
