Marvin Lewis was 0-7 in the playoffs, so I would not say that is the same thing. A gut who wins about half is better than a guy who never won.

HappyDays Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 2 minutes ago, FireChans said: I think if you think a defensive head coach calling a fake punt on his own 30 in the 4th Q was “playing it safe,” it’s a personal problem. I'm just saying there is a reason Hamlin got the ball there. I don't believe it was a matter of picking the best football player for the situation. You're mistaking what I mean when I say play it safe. I actually think McDermott's 4th down decision making and that sort of thing is as aggressive as it should be. It's more about his gameplans, the players he chooses to start, the players he chooses to rely on in critical moments. It is those high level situations where I think he plays it safe to the detriment of the team. Hiring Brady without even trying to do better is a good example of this. 2 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep looking for ANY sign of accountability in either of Pegula’s sports franchises and I haven’t seen a single one since Kim’s unfortunate health issue. Seems like the Bills and Sabres are both flying on autopilot. I said the same thing about Kim a while back, she was really the big boss , and had her hand in it. Terry just bought the team, McDermott and Brandon run everything now. That’s why when I hear the media talk about the owner firing McDermott I laugh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the word you are probably looking for is “comfortable” and I agree that Brady is the comfortable choice. Just as I think McD is pretty comfortable with letting Josh make a play on 4th down.

TFBillsfan Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Not surprised by the promotion but I certainly want to see MORE from Brady with a full offseason to put his vision into place. While the Bills offense has been explosive it also has too many stretches of dormancy. This offseason I’d love to see Josh mentor with Payton Manning to deepen his understanding of situational football, studying and breaking down film. For Brady, the offense continues to put too much emphasis on Josh making a play. Far too often Josh has to make a perfect throw. More use of motion, better play design scheming players open and the ability to implement an effective screen game. He also must figure out how to use Diggs better. I want to see more situation football from Brady and Josh. Josh needs to significantly reduce the interceptions this upcoming year. Lastly more creativity. For example, the 4th down conversion putting Shakir in motion only to have him reverse direction for an easy conversion. Loved it and wish they would have went back to it again in the game.

ExWNYer Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I'm neither excited nor disappointed in this hiring. I was resigned to it. It felt inevitable given the m.o. during this period of time with McDermott under Pegula. If Brady sucks, the Bills are in trouble. If he's very good, he will be hired away as a HC somewhere after a year or two and Josh will be on to yet another OC. Rinse & repeat. It's the single biggest reason I wanted McD replaced by an offensive minded coach. This will be a never-ending cycle for 17's career as long as he is elite. Any owner in this day and age of football who still considers hiring a DC as his HC is, at best, completely unaware of how the game is now played or, at worst, acutely obtuse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
