He may not have been a great head coach but Leslie Frazier's Buffalo Bill defense looks tough

I don't think Frazier ever had true support from management when HC in Minnesota. He took over a team with cap and personnel problems, was handed a rookie QB with limited ability and after squeezing a winning season and wildcard appearance out of the team in 2012 (with a LOT of help from Adrian Peterson) his reward was a lame duck season because Spielman wanted to hire his own head coach.
It's possible Frazier could have received the 8 years of commitment and support Zimmer did and he might not have done any better than he did from 2011-2013 but he wasn't really put in a position to succeed. He was a bridge from Childress to Zimmer and that's pretty much how he was treated.
Anyway, it's nice to see him having success as Bills defensive coordinator.

Thank you!

I realize this section is only meant for the Vikings, but WOW, how about those Bills. If the Vikings can't lift their curse. I hope the Bills can. A franchise that is well deserving of it too.
Watching Josh Allen, the entire game I was thinking, how can anyone ever stop this guy?
Apologizes for taking this off topic, just a jilted Vikings fan dreaming about what could be.
