But Allen is on the Madden cover !

BTW I dont care what others think. about Bills Football

Last few years I get pretty excited about the upcoming season and really get interested.

This coming from a guy who stopped following Bills and football in general about 20 years ago.

It was just depressing year after under Ralph (bless his heart )

And for me , if we can get into the playoffs ? Anything can happen 🤩

I posted this last week and I've been thinking about it a lot lately. 

 

Question: How much better are we right now than the drought-era teams?

 

One could make the argument that this current roster (outside of Allen) is not much better than some of our playoff-drought teams.

 

Put Josh Allen with Lee Evans, Eric Moulds, Travis Henry, Pat Williams, Aaron Schobel, London Fletcher, Takeo Spikes, Nate Clements, Terrence McGee, Lawyer Milloy, etc.

 

I may even pick that squad to beat our current team.

 

Or put Josh Allen with Fred Jackson, Sammy Watkins, Robert Woods, Kyle Williams, Prime Jerry Hughes, Mario Williams, Stephon Gilmore, Aaron Williams, Preston Brown, Darby, etc. 

 

That's a playoff squad. Even without Allen they were only 1 game out of the playoffs.

 

Answer: I truly believe that without Allen, this team would be a 7-10 squad.

 

 

Or maybe 8-9.

Here ya go newcam2012, PBF81 and the like, flame away. I noticed a trend a while ago here. Any attempt at a positive thread MUST be shot down by negative Nancies. Hey Einstein, are the Bengals still better than the Bills? Thing is we’ve read your negative crap already. We know! We get it! You guys make this board a ***** place IMO. Go get laid or something.

For context, I've been a Bills fan for a long time... I remember when OJ was a rookie. I've seen the lowest days of this franchise but don't recall the AFL Championships.

 

I have a few observations on this subject:

1. A person who predominantly complains and criticizes and then tells you that he/she is happy, is lying. Negativity is  generally a reflection of a person's happiness.
2. You can tell the true trolls because their MO is obvious. When not being outrightly negative they will ask skeptical questions... "leading the witness" as an attorney might say. And then they'll very occasionally interject a semi-positive take or proclaim their loyalty in an attempt to obscure their trollism.
3. A truly well-adjusted and happy person's observations would tend to be equally positive and negative.

 

As far as my view of the Bills and McDermott, it's too early to tell if he will be able to raise his game and bring this team a championship.

 

Anyone who "knows" whether he has it in him is just guessing.

 

Here is every Super Bowl winning coach and the number of seasons it took for him to win his first or only Super Bowl:

 

Andy Reid 21

Bill Cowher 14

Tom Coughlin 12

Tony Dungy 11

Dick Vermeil 10

Pete Carroll 9

John Madden 8

Gary Kubiak 8

Bruce Arians 8

Sean McDermott is entering his 7th season as an NFL Head Coach.

 

I think we can all agree that earlier is a better but we can also agree that there are some "Super Bowl Winning Coaches" who are mediocre head coaches at best... and that we would rather have McDermott as our coach.

The team goes as Allen goes.

 

When Allen is having a hard time, the rest of the team does not elevate to win consistently. They NEED Allen to play well.

 

Consider this:

 

The Bills are 5-6 the last two seasons when Allen's passer rating is below 80.

They are 20-3 when it is above 80.

 

Same coach (McDermott), in both instances. And a 5-6 record is 8-9 over an entire season - that's the drought era Bills. 

 

The Bills, when Allen is playing poorly, are the drought-era Bills.

Yea Chiefs are 4-3 in the same time period. Okay one game above .500 is better than one game below .500... but ultimately when you don't have good Quarterbacking in the NFL you should be around .500 or a game either side. That is the way the league is. 

 

Now if you are the Bengals and 0-4 when your QB rates below 80 over the last two years... then you might have a worry.

 

Also telling that Allen has 11 games sub 80. Mahomes 7. Burrow only 4.

Saying "without Allen" is awfully vague.  If the Bill were without Allen but had Jim Kelly instead, they would not finish 7-10.  They'd still be a playoff team.

 

If the Bills had this squad with EJ Manuel under center, then yeah, they'd finish something like 7-10.

 

And if Josh played on the 1984 to 1985 Bills under Coach Stephenson, the Bills would have sucked regardless.  

 

Good QBs need good HCs.  Good HCs need good QBs.  And both need good overall rosters.

That way round, yes it works. The QB is more important than the coach in the NFL. No question. It has been that way for as long as I have watched the league. Maybe it wasn't in the 80s and 90s but it is now. 

 

However, the opposite way... give McDermott the 2012 team that had Mario, Byrd, Gilmore, Dareus, Kyle, Fred, CJ, Cordy Glenn, Wood and Levite and Fitz at QB he would have at WORST gone .500 I actually think he'd have made the playoffs. He made the playoffs with a very similar roster in 2017. 

 

So QB matters more than coach - agreed. But McDermott had 1 year with a scrub vet at QB and made the playoffs. He would have got at least 3 of those drought teams in IMO.

Exactly. Which is why I give McDermott less credit than some.

 

It's the QB. Always has been.

 

If the QB is good, and the team around him is not a complete dumpster fire, the team will be good. If the QB is bad, the team around him won't be good. 

 

This shows that a coach, at best, makes a marginal difference.

 

That being said, I believe that the difference in coaching presents itself to a greater degree, in the playoffs. When it's win or go home, no second chances, every tiny minutiae of the game is vital. THAT is where a great coach shows his mettle. Unfortunately, that is also where McDermott continuously fails.

Ah so it is only ever the players except when it goes wrong? Nah. Coaching is worth somewhere between a quarter and a third of total performance in the NFL. Both positive and negative it doesn't only matter in the playoffs or whatever else fits the narrative.

He's not a great coach.

 

But some don't seem to realize how hard it is to find a "great" coach.  I'd say that 2-3 coaches right now could be classified as "great."

Agree with most of this although I don't really put 2020 on him either. I think the Chiefs were better coached in the game, no question (I actually think Spags > Dabes was the biggest coaching mismatch that day) but they were also just a more experienced, more talented team. You can't ignore than in 2020 they showed that in the regular season too. I don't think the Bills were 'ready' to beat the Chiefs that year. In 2021 and since we have been the better team in all 3 H2H meetings IMO.... though only narrowly in the playoff game.... and that is why it was close enough for the coaching blunders at the end to cost us. 

Sometimes you have to be able to get a win where it isn't expected. The Bengals weren't ready to beat the Chiefs but they did and made a Super Bowl

Lmao we are light years better from a front office , coaching and talent standpoint 

 

During the drought we went 15 years without having an all pro on defense

We literally have 5 on our defense right now… 4who have all prod  with the bills… and von miller 

 

and we have all pros in diggs and Allen 

 

Einstein this is a very dumb take

 

The early 2000 bills teams were extremely talented… Still doesn’t hold a candle to this… Especially with the ghost of Drew Bledsoe… they weren’t winning anything 

 

Even your group of Kyle Williams Jerry Hughes Mario Williams and Stephon Gilmore only has three all pros… And they Laid an egg against the Raiders when it all mattered

 

Every team in the NFL has talent because they’re all professionals… We are in 1 million times better spot today

What?  Dungy's Tampa 2 defenses are what McDermott has been trying to copy his entire career.  He's actively trying to recreate it now.  Tony rose that Tampa franchise from the dead and made them into a perennial contender with Shaun King at QB.

 

He was hired by the Colts 8 days after being fired by Tampa.  Again, built the defense to keep pace with their offense and led them to a Lombardi.

Put Josh Allen on the 2004 team and they are a Superbowl contender. But equally leave the entire roster the same and swap out Mularkey for McDermott and they are a playoff team. 

 

Both make a difference. Josh makes more of a difference, completely. Because QBs always matter more than coaches. That's the NFL. 

 

It is after 2004 for me. The dog days of the drought were 2005-2011. Those six seasons the team seemed constantly undertalented and the coaching was uninspiring. 2012-2016 the Bills with better coaching (and not starting a bad rookie QB in 2013) should have made at least 2 if not 3 postseasons.

And nobody’s disputing the teams from 99 too 2002 weren’t talented… we literally Lost in a fluke to the Titans who went to the Super Bowl

 

Obviously the 1999 team was talented enough to win it all

Poyer , tre , Milano all first teamed … not to mention hof von miller … not to mention Hyde and Allen and diggs on our roster 

 

We were 13 and three last year… And basically sucked for 17Straight before McD

And comparing eras is impossible… You can’t compare the NFL in 2002 to 2023

 

We will be Super Bowl contenders every year with Josh Allen

 

amd I never said 09… I said 99.. Which clearly was the closest Peak team to getting to the Super Bowl seeing as how we lost and the Titans almost won the SB

I’m saying Josh Allen could win with a lot of teams in a lot of eras 

 

So, you agree with me.

 

It’s Allen. Not McDermott.

All teams that Allen would have taken to the playoffs.

 

There are probably a couple others, too.

 

All teams McDermott would have taken to the playoffs too. I'd add 2012 and 2015 in there too. Allen would have had at least a couple of those teams in potential Superbowl contention but I think McDermott instead of Greggo, Mularkey, Gailey, Marrone and Rex and each of those rosters even with Bledsoe, Fitz, Orton and Tyrod would have been playoff bound.

No. It is more Allen. The QB always matters more. But it is both of them.

McDermotts is a miracle worker and you’re blind if you can’t see that

 

We went from the depths of despair to perennial contenders

 

He won with Tyrod Taylor

 

It always takes two to tango

Agree with most of this although I don't really put 2020 on him either. I think the Chiefs were better coached in the game, no question (I actually think Spags > Dabes was the biggest coaching mismatch that day) but they were also just a more experienced, more talented team. You can't ignore than in 2020 they showed that in the regular season too. I don't think the Bills were 'ready' to beat the Chiefs that year. In 2021 and since we have been the better team in all 3 H2H meetings IMO.... though only narrowly in the playoff game.... and that is why it was close enough for the coaching blunders at the end to cost us. 

I agree, it’s really been the last 2 years they’ve not met expectations. Allen is too good to not be playing in Super Bowls and for that reason McBean are on the hot seat.

 

 No title for Allen is an organizational disaster on par with Marino’s legacy, one championship is an organizational failure on par with Favre and Rodgers in GB.

 

 To declare Allen’s career a organizational success story they need to win at least 2 titles, Allen is that good IMHO.

What?  Dungy's Tampa 2 defenses are what McDermott has been trying to copy his entire career.  He's actively trying to recreate it now.  Tony rose that Tampa franchise from the dead and made them into a perennial contender with Shaun King at QB.

 

He was hired by the Colts 8 days after being fired by Tampa.  Again, built the defense to keep pace with their offense and led them to a Lombardi.

 

You might wanna know what you're talking about before calling something dumb.

Listen to Dungy talk.  Listen to McDermott.  They are two entirely different personalities.

Josh Allen alone would make any coach good, but a very good coach makes J.A. A champion.

And I also don’t think he’s trying to recreate the Tampa 2

they aren’t close as humans

Here ya go newcam2012, PBF81 and the like, flame away. I noticed a trend a while ago here. Any attempt at a positive thread MUST be shot down by negative Nancies. Hey Einstein, are the Bengals still better than the Bills? Thing is we’ve read your negative crap already. We know! We get it! You guys make this board a ***** place IMO. Go get laid or something. (Added HA HA HA HA HA)Life is awesome and it sucks that people like me stay away from this place to come  back a few weeks later and the same vocal group is writing the same 💩 as weeks ago. From what I read, Allen is the only good thing we have going for us. Last thought: you guys suck and it feels like you’re taking this site with you. Enjoy. 

I had a nicer version of this 3 weeks ago. @NewEra said it right. Ignore button is your friend.

They’re called Trolls.  If you feed them (I.e. respond to them) you only make them stronger.  If you ignore them, they’ll eventually go away.
