Bills Coaches and Front Office

[SabreKV]

I think you want the geico skytypers for that. Which would be a boring ride for Coach. Relatively speaking anyway.

@Sherpa would this even be possible with those jets?

 

 

I don't think so.

It is certainly easy enough to do aircraft performance wise, but I don't think they have enough "smoke."

The way they produce that smoke is by removing the M61 Vulcan cannon from the nose and putting in an oil tank. The oil is then pumped into the exhaust, causing the white trail.

They only carry enough for the show requirements, during which they only use smoke for very few maneuvers.

As always, thanks for the information @Sherpa.

 

And here is the video of McDermott in the air. And they DID do the logo!

 

 

 

Just kidding on the logo part, sadly.

Speaking of "Dreams," and the Blues, here is, I think, the best video of their show ever.

 

It's older, just prior to them going from the old A4 to the F-18, but I think the show looked better with the A4.

The delta wing makes the difference.

2021 NFL head coach rankings
CBS Sports

5. Sean McDermott (Bills)
Season: 5th with Bills and as HC
Career record: 38-26 (.594)
Playoff record: 2-3
 

Like Frank Reich, his record isn't all that impressive yet, but he's navigated enough cloudy waters -- front-office change, QB uncertainty, etc. -- to build the makings of a perennial contender. He's smart without being brash, his specialty (defense) has been apparent, and he's patiently overseen Josh Allen's emergence as a potential top five signal-caller. The potential is high.

Even ignoring the fact he took over and turned around a perennial doormat with a disastrous roster, how is a 60% winning percentage not all that impressive?

 

That's better than Chuck Noll, Bill Parcells, Don Coryell and Hank Stram.

CBS. Their sports news is fake too.

NFL GENERAL MANAGER RANKINGS 2021
NBC Sports Edge

The state of NFL front offices is actually quite good. With a few notable exceptions, processes league-wide have grown more empirically sound. Yes, even some of the better general managers can’t quite resist the occasional first-round running back, but they at least know it is something they have to explain now. Very few of these men are actively bad at their jobs. The problem is, there are only so many franchise quarterbacks to go around, and when you don’t have a quarterback, it’s hard to have a plan. Despite all the advancements, all the analytics, team building still begins and ends under center.

 

For the purposes of this article, I consider the “general manager” to be whomever is believed to have the biggest role in shaping the roster, regardless of who has the official title. Admittedly, there are more teams where I probably could have listed more than one name, as the role of executive coach has been back on the rise in recent seasons. The criteria is the same as always. All front office activity — from players and coaches to draft picks and contracts — is taken into consideration. Past achievements are not forgotten, but recent history is given greater emphasis.

 

5. Brandon Beane, Bills 

 

Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott have gone hard in the paint since arriving in Buffalo. 2020 was no different, with the offseason bringing the acquisition of Stefon Diggs. It required surrendering a draft pick that turned into Justin Jefferson, but Diggs proved to be the rarest of all trade outcomes: The missing piece. Diggs mindmelded with breakout QB Josh Allen as he led the NFL in receiving by over 100 yards and brought the Bills within one game of the Super Bowl. In addition to being emblematic of the front office’s aggression, Diggs was also a continuation of the trend that lets McDermott handle his business on the defensive side of the ball as Beane stockpiles talent on offense. This spring had nothing to match Diggs’ addition, but the Bills defied expectations by re-signing defensive linchpin Matt Milano. A championship core has been assembling in Buffalo, and Beane has kept it together for 2021. Allen’s looming contract extension will change the math Beane has been working under. Bold and decisive, Beane is a front office leader who appears ready for the challenge.

I have it on good authority that Kim and Terry were in NFL HQ yesterday and Goodell and others are in Buffalo tonight. 

 

No idea why though.  Best guess is stadium related.

A sale on wings at Duff’s?

It is just a matter of time?

matter of time before those players are jettisoned

there is a reason why the Bills are very selective in the players they sign 

and why they may not chase the "best" talent

 

for example- Aaron  Rodgers would never be the QB in Buffalo

Probably so, but they might consider him for the backup QB position... just sayin'.

I would think if Beane wants it, there would be a good chance it will be done.

This interview started with Josh's contract but moved on to many other subjects.
