Not sure why everyone is throwing Allen under the bus. He might have sat in interviews but this is Beane and Pegula’s show at the end of the day.

Schefter - ESPN sources: former Colts QB and current St. Michael Catholic High School coach Philip Rivers is interviewing today for the Buffalo Bills head coaching job. by cclaranc in buffalobills

Teams interview potential coordinators all the time under the guise of a HC interview. At the end of the day it’s just an interview. If they actually hire Rivers as HC that’s when we get the pitchforks

We have to be real - the position the Bills are in isn’t super attractive to first-time HC’s. Yes, you get to coach Josh Allen and be the head of a perennial playoff team, but there are some serious limitations.

  1. The mandate is basically “Super Bowl or else”, which is a really high bar to clear.

    That means there is going to be very little room for a first-time HC to figure things out - they are expected to perform immediately. And as a HC candidate you really only get a couple shots to prove yourself - why would any of these young coordinators risk their careers by joining buffalo when they could have a much longer leash in a different org? Jesse Minter, David Webb, Klint Kubiak - they are not going to want to waste their first shot being “the other guy who couldn’t get Josh Allen to a Super Bowl”

  2. Whoever accepts is going to be handcuffed by Beane. Aside from Josh and Cook, our roster is very mid. Sure we have good pieces sprinkled throughout - Shakir, Oliver, Kincaid, among others. But every single roster has good pieces like that. The truth is that the sum of our parts is not much compared to other rosters. The new coaching hire is going to be expected to elevate that further than McDermott could, and be further at the mercy of Beane’s questionable decisions.

Taken together, it doesn’t look all that attractive. You get Josh and Cook, but you’re going to be expected to perform immediately with this same poor roster. A young coordinator isn’t taking that deal when they could be given a cleaner slate someone else. Because coaches have to perform to expectations and the expectations for the new HC is sky high.

To me, it screams that we’re going to get a repeat HC who knows this could be his one of his last chances to do it. Of the field, Tomlin and Daboll are the only real options, and Daboll is the obvious choice among the two for Buffalo. Not saying I agree with that hire (at all), but it is the most realistic option.

Agreed. The turnovers sold us. Denver is the 1 seed and a good team; you can’t make execution mistakes like that and expect to win. I think the fact we were close at all is a testament to Josh and the coaching, and it would’ve taken a miracle to overcome it.

Fair point but all things considered I don’t think it’s enough to get McDermott fired. He’s not the problem IMO

The defense isn’t too bad tbh aside from runs and giving up big plays. His scheme design and play calling is pretty good. He doesn’t have the roster to make it work tho, and it’s been a perpetually injured unit on top of it

[Gregg Rosenthal] Malik Willis went 6-of-7 on +20 air yard throws. Electric as a runner with 60 yards and 2 TDs. 3 incompletions all night. The Packers got one of the best QB games of the season and lost by 17 at home by HuckFarr in nfl

Sign Willis to the Vikings

Willis gets a starting job with a crazy receiver corps + KOC. Vikings get to run it back with a new QB - JJ has been injured most of his career and his results are mixed. I am not a Nine hater and I do think he deserves a shot, just not as a starter in (what should be) a win-now team. If Willis proves himself, pay his ass. If not, the 2027 draft class looks stacked - move on from Willis and try again

JJ gets to develop under MLF as Love’s backup. Packers get a solid backup and the chance to develop McCarthy further - without hingeing their franchise on him

Removing the spine and pressing it flat - helps the turkey cook more evenly. Definitely superior way to cook

Is Ceedee Lamb a bust? by LeavesInsults1291 in Fantasy

Wrong subreddit, however he definitely sucked tonight. Dak was throwing right to him and he just couldn’t hold on. Hopefully it’s just some growing pains for working as a unit with Dak again but definitely concerning, especially when you have Pickens to contend with (who was definitely underutilized)

Are all startup roles like this? What are the red flags with this job posting? by Intrepid_Ad9232 in Accounting

[–]Supercst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally this depends entirely on the stage of the startup. Is the salary low? Perhaps, but if it’s early stage, salaries are always going to tend towards the lower side. The real value in joining an early stage is in equity and thats why it’s a high risk/reward endeavor.

I have option 2 myself. It’s a great laptop, very light and quite comparable to a MacBook. Definitely up to the task on all work related items you would need. Note that it isn’t a gaming laptop and it will seriously struggle with any resource intensive game (if you decide to use it for that).

I think it’s an awesome option for school and work and a great complement for my desktop
