Yeah you are right. Ken was a Qb coach for us from 2013-2017. I’m thinking of Whitfield. 

Dang, doesn’t help much, another example of Buffalo taking the good from our organization and them being willing to leave. Thanks for the clarification!

From what I've read, calling Dorsey a "coach" when he was here might be a bit of a stretch.

Rivera and Hurney were scared to say anything negative to Newton, and they passed that down to Dorsey as well.

Since Dorsey became Josh Allen's coach in Buffalo, Allen's development has been phenomenal.

Who knows what Dorsey could have done for Newton if Rivera and Hurney hadn't been dumbasses.

Tick! Tock! The clocking is ticking and this loss just gets Rhule a step closer to being on the way to the exit  door.

I'm not about firing someone just before Christmas.  December 26th though?  Rhule had better be preparing to update his resume'.

With the changes the NFL made to the interview cycle this year, I sure as hell am.

Wasn't Marty Hurney fired close to Christmas?

Eh, it can wait a little over a week.  It's not like we are going to beat the Bucs anyway.  Since the game is at home, Tepper can have a locksmith on hand at halftime to re-key Rhule's office and then tape Matt's pink slip to the door.

Rhule:  It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere I go...

"A little over a week" from now is when teams can start interviewing.

If Tepper is even thinking about pulling the trigger, he can start digging now.   This season is over.  No more roster moves of consequence to be made.  Tepper can get Fitts to low-key do some research and begin to build a candidate list. 

Crazy enough, I think Tepper holds onto Rhule because he gave Matt such a large window to rebuild in.  If it were just a 4 or 5 year deal, he could pull the trigger, but on a 7-year deal it makes him look impatient.

Yes, having to go for it on 4th down counts as turnovers. They brought that up earlier. We lost 9 points that way and gave up two scores on those drives.

 

that’s a 23 point swing

You know what Rhule was talking about last week and what I'm referencing here. They lost their placekicker, not a punter, so the defense still gave up that many points. There weren't interceptions/fumbles that gave short fields. Don't be pedantic.

Keeping him around to watch him produce another season like this makes him look like a dumbass.

Not that I am trying to be correct, but just for information purposes…

I don't disagree at all, but firing Rhule only two years into a seven-year deal has egg all Tepper's face.  He's got a choice, give Rhule a year three and hope he improves or  pulls a Jacksonville by chalking up the loss now, optics be damned.

The egg that's currently on his face is his own fault for being stupid enough to hire a minor college coach and give him absolute power over an NFL franchise.

Compound that mistake by giving him another year and the "egg" turns into something worse.
