Mr. WEO Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Fitz is as good as he gets right now. He used to bail out Gailey's poor game calling with his improvisation. Bizarre move... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihilarian Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I gotta love Fitz, fear the beard! Goes into NE in a must win game for the Patriots so they get a bye and he beats them. 29 of 44 for 340 yards 1 TD against that vaunted #1 defense. It will be interesting to see what Gailey does in Miami, will he want a "waterbug" for a RB again? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Hopefully the Bills figure out how to defend screens better because the Dolphins will have the best screen game in the league now and we will see it twice a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 8 hours ago, C.Biscuit97 said: Best offense since the Bledsoe days. Chan did more with less than any OC we have had besides Roman. I would take him back in a second over Daboll. A Chan-Fitz combo surrounding Allen would have Been amazing. I agree as long as Coach McD learns to tell OCs "No" when they want to do something stupid. He had that issue before and even though he coaches on defense he knows when an offense will be destroyed by competent defenses. Regarding Fitz/Allen combo I think it works - Allen can take the chances which makes him a better QB and Fitz gets to play when Allen takes his lumps.

Dopey Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 22 hours ago, BADOLBILZ said: Gailey is a good example of why Brian Daboll doesn't get more respect.........he doesn't deserve it. In 2011 and 2012 Gailey got more production out of notably less talent than Daboll has now. He's more often than not coached above the talent. For all I know Daboll could be a great leader of men and make a great HC.........which Gailey was NOT............but as an OC Daboll has proven time and again that he gives you not one iota better than the talent you give him. Daboll isn't getting respect from some on this board. Do you think he cares? You're just a fan, like the rest of us. I hope Daboll is back next year and some of you are eating your words.

I'm just not under the illusion that giving him top 10 offensive talent will result in an offense at all greater than the sum of its parts. Because it hasn't been the case even ONCE with any of the 4 NFL teams he's been an OC for. The optimisitic comparison for him as a coach would be Mike McCarthy. He got the Packers job after finishing 30th in offense as the coordinator in SF. Prior to that his peak years were a lot better than Daboll's(usually around 14th-15th) but nonetheless it's the same idea.......better coach than game caller. Daboll is a functional OC with a lot of experience working in highly structured, championship winning systems with Belichick and Saban. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite good enough to start, but the best backup in the league. 'zactly. He would have been a good bridge for the new QB, but we went with three raw rookies instead. And others are quick to point out that it was really Buddy Nix. Either way, it shows how screwed up the FO office was before and how unscrewed up it is now.

SirAndrew Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I predict the Gailey/Fitz offense will look great for a year or less before it quickly falls apart.

It will be hard to top 26+ points AND fewest turnovers by an NFL team in 50 years like that team was at thru 16 weeks in 2016..........but if it could be done with Tyrod at QB then it surely could be done now. For years we've been saying things like "if we only had Gailey's offense with Marrone's defense"...........well it's funny to think that "if we had Rex's offense with McD's defense" is a thing but it is. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on what he was doing - was he consulting with college teams seeing how to adapt emerging players into NFL or was he sitting back fishing? Some people keep their fingers in the pot when they retire and some do not want anything to do with it. Galley seems to be a keep fingers in pot based upon 2 previous un-retirements.
