Bills need a hardnosed, blunt QB coach


Back2Buff

Recommended Posts

Reich did get the most out of Wentz, so would he be interested.  He’s been a failed HC on two teams so not sure he wants to go back to a QB coach.  I disagree with the blunt comment, rather a coach who knows how to get the most out of a QB.

 

Allen played lights out down the stretch so he’s not the problem.  He played a great game in KC.  He wasn’t the problem and we lost by 3, not 13.

 

We lost that Chiefs game because our defense was so banged up we had backups and backup of backups playing.  We beat the Chiefs just a few weeks earlier when we had more starters.

With the Bills not learning and just giving Josh what he wants in the OC coach again, they need to find a QB coach that is going to get into Josh's brain.  A guy that has been around for a while, and isn't looking to baby Allen.

 

One guy I'm wondering if he will do it as a "favor", is Frank Reich.  He obviously doesn't need a job, but wondering if he would come back here to try and get us over the hump.

 

These last two hires at QB coach, Dorsey and Brady, have been young guys that were looking to eventually be head coaches.  We don't need to go in that direction again.

 

LOL

You say you want tough and hard nosed but then bring up Frank Reich?

 

That’s like saying I need a tough off road vehicle…give me a Toyota Corolla.

The nostalgia for old Bills appears again. It's sway on the fan is powerful. It causes fans not to think critically. It has the kavorka.

 

No one who has been HC twice is going to come back as a position coach--even as a favor.

 

Besides, Josh is just fine. Strategy and play calling in the early season were the culprits of 6-6. McDermott andJoe Brady fixed that.

Get the heck out of here with that crap, seriously just go away. The guy led the league in turnovers on continuous BONEHEAD plays.  People need to stop blaming everyone else but the guy literally giving the ball to the other team.

what Josh needs most is a legit WR2  (like Aiyuk, waddle, Nacua, Higgins, etc..)

 

I wish there was a trade to be made for Aiyuk, maybe a DB and some picks. Not sure why the 9ers would move him, but he will be pretty expensive going forward with a lot of money tied up in veterans on their team, especially at the skill positions. I'm sure they would find a way to make it work with a very cheap QB on the books. But a guy like Aiyuk would be a great fit with Josh.

Pittsburgh game = 0 interceptions.

Chiefs game = 0 interceptions.

Regular season = 18 interceptions over 17 games.

 

Yeah, he had a bad day the first game of the season against the Jets with 3 interceptions. Don't let that bias your perception of the other games.

We don't even play the playoff games if the defense doesn't get this team into the playoffs.

 

We have the number one seed and week 18 "bye" if Allen doesn't throw 3 picks vs Jets, 2 vs Den, and doesn't throw a pick on first play of game vs NE.  How healthy would we have been if guys didn't have to play for 2 weeks?

Woulda, coulda, shoulda...

 

If we're analyzing that way--imagine if Bass was his old reliable self and didn't shank kicks. Or imagine if receivers didn't have so many drops  ...and the list goes on.

Every kicker misses kicks.  Every WR drops passes.  Pretty sure the team with the most drops is in the super bowl.

 

Allen leads the league in turnovers since he became a regular starter.

OMG, that team in the Super Bowl had a QB with 5 less turnovers than Allen.  

Mahomes - 17 turnovers

Allen - 22 Turnovers

 

Lets take a look at TD's now.

Mahomes - 27

Allen - 44

 

So if we're doing the net production....

Allen  +22

Mahomes  + 10

 

People like Brett Farve, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, Big Ben and Eli Manning all lead the league in turnovers and most of these more than once.

They all won Super Bowls.

We have the 1 seed if McDermott didn't let the Eagles, NE, and Denver walk down and score after Josh gives the go ahead TD.

 

Blaming the QB when he's consistently the best player on the field is convenient and lazy.

I bet if we had a coach like that Josh might even be perennially in the MVP conversation and be commonly referred to as a future Hall-of-famer.

You do know that Allen didn’t actually lead the league in turnovers, right?

Why? Is there something wrong with our quarterback that needs tough love? I thought he played pretty damn well after he got out from under whatever Dorsey was coaching him to do.

 

When Josh Allen is locked in, I believe he's the best QB in the NFL. 

 

He has far too much variance to actually be considered the best QB in the NFL right now though.. that goes to Patrick Mahomes. 

 

And you'll say that it's because of the hardware, but he has the hardware because of the work put in throughout the season. 

 

This is the first year that he's had to play a road playoff game.  And even this year, where he was uncharacteristically up and down, they were able to bank enough wins to rest everyone Week 17.   That matters.

 

We had to go all out Week 17 and lost multiple guys for the playoffs.  Then the following week, lost even more.

 

Chiefs rested Week 17, and it's a good thing they did, because since then they've lost Thuney and Omenihu. 

 

Chiefs last year had a bye week and then played a weak Jax at home.. ta-da right into the AFC CG.

 

Baltimore this year had two bye weeks, played a weak Hou at home.. ta-da right into the AFC CG. 

 

Is there anyone that can make Josh more consistent during the season?  If so, it's worth exploring.

Others have honed in on your suggestion of Frank Reich.

 

I'd like to hone in on your suggestion that someone who "isn't looking to baby Allen" is what is needed.

 

That implies that past QB coaches perhaps *have* tried to "baby Allen".

 

I'd like to understand why you think that.

It must be weird to be a Bills fan and also hate Allen. 

 

I remember Kelly with *checks notes* a league leading 19 interceptions in 1992.  Frank Reich on the other hand only had 2 that season. 🤷‍♂️
