GreggTX Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 As a game manager, he is still learning, but he has gotten better. As a leader he stands head and shoulders above any HC we have had in a long time. The players talk like they are ready to stand at the gates of hell and fight for him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) Shanahan, Reich and Payton are probably my top 3 with McD not far behind. Edited October 21, 2019 by Bangarang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelius Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) If this is a thing right now then Kyle Shanahan is the frontrunner but McD is definitely in the rankings Edited October 21, 2019 by Nelius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Gotta be Reich. Hest got a legit team and winning with a backup QB. He has built that team the right way and has them overcoming a lot of adversity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I still think that McDermott is an excellent defensive coach and an excellent motivator, and designs some decent game plans with his coordinators but he is not a good in game coach, espically time management, and for a stickler for fundamentals it's ridiculous how many stupid penalties and false starts and undisciplined plays these guys make. Glad we have him though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seven-N-Nine Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Quote it's stupid to crown the NFL's coach of the year after 4 weeks ... I agree with this, let's wait just a bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, we shouldn't speculate at all about something so trivial as COY; however, it is never too early too speculate if Josh Allen will ever be even an average NFL QB, right?

You have six games of a sixteen game season on which to speculate on COY - that's almost half of the season. You have 18 games of what should be a long career on which to base your speculations about Allen... Nice try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad we have him though. I agree the Bills penalties kill them. One of the reasons that Miami was in that game for so long yesterday with their lack of talent was because they play a very disciplined game (outside of Christian Wilkins if course). I actually think Flores is going to be a McD type coach and may have some real success down there eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Shanahan, Reich and Payton pretty much all had playoff teams. McD not so much. As seen posted here ... The Bills were projected to have 6 wins and all these others 10 (ish?) That s/b brought into the convo imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That s/b brought into the convo imo It’s complicated on Reich because they were very good last year (after week 6) but he’s being given credit for regrouping after the Andrew luck retirement and since he is a QB coach at his roots likely being given credit for the development of Brissett on top of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice try QB's typically do not get a career to determine whether or not they will be your franchise QB. They get about 1.5 seasons. As of right now, Allen is a middle of the road QB with only a few games left before he hits that threshold. So far, Allen is only a small step above Tyrod Taylor, Taylor is not out there winning playoff games for anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aireskoi Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I know it's not popular around here or in today's NFL, but I love the way McDermott sees the game. I love his style of football, I want my team to be a great defense first. I would rather win 6-3 with no offense than lose 44-45 with my QB throwing 400 yards. I want a defense that allows nothing. I want a QB that can win the game, but I don't want to need him to. Coach of the year is too soon, but I'm glad he's the coach of the Bills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams can't give players 5 years anymore, that's no longer the rebuild cycle. GM's want to win when their players are on rookie contracts. Tannehill is a prime example of giving a middle of the road QB that much time. Edited October 21, 2019 by Seven-N-Nine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are 5-1 - but we all need to stop and express all of our concerns and fears, no matter how silly they may be, because, well, you know - Allen...

We'll have to see if it still looks that way in December. Kyle Shanahan also has to be in that conversation, but I think Arians and Shurmur have probably dropped out of the running. They’re already at the 5 wins some predicted they’d win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
