If linval Joseph wasn't waiting on the couch for a contender to call him we'd still have a lot of problems

When looking at his interviews/comments etc, he has always owned his poor play each and every time. That's not an issue, owning it only matters if you learn from it. And that's the issue with him more often than it should be
We agree.

On the contrary, this offseason, time to trade Knox for picks and draft receivers and OL. He is hugely overpaid.

You don't get it. Keep deflecting away from Allen who is much more of a problem than the oline
You don't get it. Josh needs to own his poor play but that doesn't take this mediocre OL off the hook or Beane's lack of attention to it.

The oline is not the issue. Most of the blame is poor scheme, poor qb play and decision making, as well as penalties, turnovers, ***** special teams, poor coaching, injuries, and a mental midget at QB.
This OL is below average at best. RT is going to get Josh killed. Good DLines push us around. Great teams have great OLs. Not us.

This is a small brain issue. The Bills have the best OL under Allen. Keep trying.
Do you watch the games? We can't make a yard on a vital 3rd and 1. We gave to throw from the shotgun. Brown and Morse are pushed on top of JA half the time. Yes this is the best OL JA has had but it's far from good enough. Try again.

Again, you’re making a leap of logic. Comfortable isn’t the same as “afraid to reprimand” like the other poster was suggesting.

Hard to make plays when your qb throws it to the guy covering you. Cincy game.
If your qb keeps making boneheaded decisions it really doesn’t matter who’s calling the plays.That's what a real OC does, figure it out and scheme to a Q 's strength. Dorsey must have figured shotgun draws and long passes on 3rd and 1 would save the day.

This is conjecture and completely unrelated to the original comment from McDermott.
Maybe it’s true(I doubt it) but how you arrived there doesn’t make sense.
There were multiple articles and interviews with Josh on his choice to replace Daboll. Here's one.
Josh wanted Dorsey as he was comfortable with him.

I would expect no improvement over Dorsey; they are both cut from the same cloth.
Well, maybe not improved but different would be nice.

How? It's pathetic now.

What a leap in logic. There was nothing said to indicate that at all.
There is. Dorsey was Josh's pick for OC. They had a buddy to buddy relationship and not a mentor relationship he had with Daboll. Josh has played like crap. Is it him or the scheme. Now that the year is shot, time to find out.

My educated guess would be Beane stays for the moment (benefit of the doubt earning a short leash for drafting Allen) but won't take very much for him to get sent packing too
If Beane stays perhaps he may learn that OLs are important and that 10 crap Jags is less than 5 quality players.

DC's are smart. Very smart. They watch the film. They take away what you want to do and force you to adjust and do something different. Its up to the offense..up to the QB...to make the adjustment and take what is left to them. Do that well and it forces the defense to do something else..opening up what you did originally..what you want to do.
Defenses know that Allen will throw it to them. No need to readjust. They know he'll beat them at times..a few plays here, a few plays there. But until he stops giving it away, they'll swallow their medicine on a few drives.
Guys..his game isn't growing. If he has to be "freed" and allowed to do what he wants, thats not growth. Because teams aren't going to let that happen. You can harp on coaching all you want...and yes, coaches had issues..but Allen needs to grow his game. He needs to stop pouting and looking lost and moping through a press conference and the turnovers have to stop.
I don't think they will. This is who he is. He's not a savior. He's a highly talented kid with major flaws. And teams are exploiting those flaws.
Valid points. But you grow your game when your OC is your boss and not your buddy. Josh needs a guru to make him grow as a QB. He regressed a lot under Dorsey.

One good thing: we're finally playing complementary football, all three phases suck.

Be careful here. You'll get some homers in here show up and puke on you or roll their eyes on you because "who are you?" "You're just a couch QB who knows nothing. Those coaches are professionals!"
You and I and others with functional brains know that it ain't rocket science out there, but amazingly, many in here think it is.
Right. But then just point to the results. Our elite QB is a turnover machine and we insist the way to get a 3rd or 4th and one is to shotgun 5 yards from the LOS. Mostly due to the crap OL we have.
-
Get ready for the D to give up gobs of yards on the ground and the O to sputter again. Bills will let them hang around and it will be a white knuckle, last play decides the game affair. I don't place to watch that movie again.

Gotcha, in all my years of posting on message boards I can tell you that not once have I read a Benglas fan trash the city of Buffalo and ALL the people that live there, much less an entire state like that. Interesting to see that you condone this.
Bengals beat the Ravens for Buffalo, rooted for the Bills in the playoffs thereafter, and Cincy totally respected the Hamlin incident. Trash like that simply reeks of jealousy and childish anger due to the Bengals current success, IMHO. You guys stay classy and do you.This Burrow's mom?

He certainly doesn't suck. He's just not a difference maker. Good fit - and I hoped last year the Bills would have a shot at him in free agency. Certainly wouldn't have surrendered a 3rd rd pick for him.
Last year we had Tre. This year if Jackson or Benford go down we got Josh Norman. This is a solid pick up and if Tre does come back, a potentially great CB tandem.

It's for when we get to the 1 yard line and not get stuffed for once.

There’s a large correlation between a lack of stars on defense and our inability to close out games on defense.
It’s not that we are chokers. It’s that our defense is full of average NFL talent.
Not on the D. Offense should have closed out the game and not punt it back. Great teams and
QBs wouldn't have given the ball back. Our offense cannot close games out, give the ball back for white knuckle time repeatedly.
-
Dorsey needs to stop running from the shotgun on the damn goaline and get this team to make crucial 1st downs to close out a game. Two runs up the middle and a failed third and long is not getting it done, but that's his damn MO.

Would you care to provide evidence that McDermott's defensive timeouts hurt the Bills? Otherwise, it's likely an irrational complaint.
This is at best, unproven. There is a much likelier chance that Mayfield and his linemen heard the whistle and stopped the play. Moreover, there is the chance that McDermott saw something that could have resulted in significant Tampa gain.
We'll never know.

Any time left on the clock is too much time under McD. A team reflects its coach...and this team chokes time and time again. How many more times are we going to watch the same movie? McD's Bill cannot finish. Period. They let teams back into the game repeatedly. Pegulas need to make a call on McD as he p*sses away yet another year of Josh's prime.
