Generic_Bills_Fan Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 1 hour ago, Ramza86 said: Well damn I have no idea. I dont get paid millions to comb through the NFL and NCAA to find a great offensive mind. Thats what GMs and their scouts are supposed to be doing right? If I was getting that kinda money Im certain I would have found someone to replace McD after 13 seconds. I mean that thought experiment was to reinforce the idea that there are maybe one or two sure thing offensive minded head coaches in the league right now and the bills if they ever have to dump McD will not be getting one of them. realistically they’d be rolling the dice on a college coach unproven at the nfl level. 13 seconds was devastating but the best qb in the league with the fastest receivers in the league,Travis Kelce, and 3 timeouts getting into mid fg range to tie the game isn’t an instant coach firing situation imo. Heck the bills pretty much walked off against the lions like that last year. I’d still rank it below the seahawks passing from the 1 yard line against the pats in the superbowl and plays like the Minneapolis miracle as far as egregious ways to lose in the playoffs go 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenorthremembers Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Ole Seanny P should have come into the job with more humility. There was no reason to go in on Hackett the way he did. The organization had just as much responsibility for the failures as Hackett did, it was a bad hire. The guy made himself a target by running his mouth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 1 hour ago, Bangarang said: Payton was with NO for 15 years and had one of the most prolific and accomplished QBs in league history. He only made it to the NFC Championship game 3 times. You could argue he underperformed as a HC. I don't think you need to argue it. It is just a stone cold fact. And I am a huge fan of him as a playcaller. Second only to Andy Reid in his generation IMO. But not only did he have an undoubted elite, first ballot HOF QB he had some talented rosters around him too other than a couple of years in the middle of that period when they took a step back and had a mini-reload. But he had a three year spell there in late Brees (2017-19) where they were elite at QB, elite at WR1 (Thomas), elite at RB (Kamara), elite at LT (Armstead) and then maybe just a tick below elite at edge rusher (Cam Jordan) and CB1 (Marshon Lattimore) and couldn't get it done. They lost twice of those years to the Vikings in the playoffs, Quarterbacked by Case Keenum and Kirk Cousins respectively. When Sean McDermott wastes playoff opportunities that good we can have a conversation about Sean Payton replacing him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I still, 100%, believe that would have been the right decision. I’m not overreacting to week 1 or 2. He has Russell Wilson looking like Russell Wilson again. Payton and Josh Allen would have been dynamic. Sean Payton won a Super Bowl and was, maybe the worst call ever, from a 2nd. I lived in NOLA for his career there. I have more confidence in Payton than McDermott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankish Reich Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 3 hours ago, billsbackto81 said: You're right! He looks exactly like he did last year! Wilson was far from the main problem, last week or this week. He played a fantastic first half yesterday. Payton had the running game working, Russ hit on a bunch of short timing passes, and that created an opportunity for a couple of really well thrown bombs. Then the Broncs defense let Wash back in the game. And Payton weirdly abandoned the running game. As usual, he found other people to blame after the game including Wilson, suggesting that he didn't have the playbook down and should wear a wristband. Funny, because Wilson had to use a couple timeouts in the first half because Payton was late sending in substitutions and presumably the play. It's weird. He has them playing better on offense than Hackett did all last year. They're depleted of receivers but the timing looks decent and Russ has actually been pretty good. But the defense allowed 300 yards passing to ... Sam Howell. And the week before they made the Raiders (exposed by us yesterday) look pretty functional too. It'll take the Broncos at least another year to become truly competitive (they are competitive now if you mean "lose one score games"), but I have a feeling Payton will start wearing out his welcome long before that. "Blowhard know it all" seems to fit the bill so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I will say it for the millionth time. Brees and Payton cannot both be all time greats/HOF. Volume passing stats are not enough to enshrine both of them. If Payton was as good as some say, and Brees was great, why haven't they ever looked remotely similar to say Andy Reid and Mahomes? They're much closer to Reid/McNabb or McDaniels/Brady. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I would much rather have McD...but...for all the SP hate...the Broncos lead the NFL points per drive. They only had 6 drives against Raiders though. Their issue is their defense, not something SP is known for. But offensively, they lead the NFL in scoring per drive despite their top WR Jeudy missing week 1 too. So he has made an impact already on the offensive side of the ball there in Denver. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
