I want Allen to make better decisions with the ball. Interceptions are going to happen but he seems to be forcing the ball at times. Throwing into double coverage too often.
-
I'm pulling for Brady. He's in a tough spot though. Hopefully he calls a good game and no one is blaming him for bad play calling.

So we are only 2-5 in 1 score games? Massive room for improvement, no?
Yes, there's all kinds of massive room for improvement. We're losing to bad teams and we haven't played a complete 60 minute game in quite some time. I believe the Bills have a serious problem on their hands. They have 7 games to straighten things out or others will be joining Dorsey imo.

7 games left and ppl quitting? This team is 1 play away per game from being 10-0.
Or 3 - 7. Giants and Bucs

Sal is good for telling facts. Guy X did not practice today. Guy Z won't play today. That's about it. Unless you want a homer take.

I’m not on the “Fire Sean” train as the real reasons are being recklessly neglected. The glaring issues on why the offense has been out of whack is obvious to me. Here are my observations.
1) Daboll knew how to unlock Allen, Dorsey didn’t.
2) Dorsey is not Daboll nor was he creative
3) Beane, needed to give Allen a #2 WR. The year that the Bills almost won it all they had a very talented WR in Sanders opposite of Diggs and next to Davis. He could have easily been a #2. A body like that was useful, but was never replaced after Sanders retired.
4) Last but not least, Josh Allen just has not been himself. He needs to learn to stop trying to throw those tight throws, if they aren’t necessary. Take Tom Brady’s advice and go to the alternative target….even if it yields you 3-5 yards.
Sean does have a little blame in this, but not entirely. My only issue is that he takes too long to fire staff members when needed. Still waiting for him to fire Smiley.I would add that Daboll held Allen accountable. As fans, we saw it on the sidelines at times.
I think McD doesn't want Allen to run out of fear of injury. I get it to some degree but Allen needs to run some in order to give the defense something else to defend. Bills offense is too vanilla right now.

Not sure if I agree with this article.
The Bills struggled on offense in the playoffs, in what he calls the "magical" 2020 season.
Most fans feel the team actually had it's best chance in 2021, due to the team clicking on offense in playoffs. But then 13 seconds happened.
And even last year, the Bills were still leaning very heavily towards the pass and still allowing Josh Allen to run the ball a ton.
And here in 2023, all the metrics are showing the Bills offense works better when they are running the ball. James Cook was pretty much the only thing working on Monday night.
It's very probably that Sean McDermott is trying to limit Allen's running, and I agree that it's a problem. But part of the problem with the Bills is being too one-dimensional and predictable. Teams have caught-up to the heavy passing offenses, and it's vital to keep teams off balance. If McDermott was preaching that, he's not wrong.
The Bills in general have not run the ball effectively in quite some time. They don't want Allen to run the ball. I get that concern but they didn't replace that aspect of the offense at all. So they signed a 33 yr old back and Harris who has an injury history and is on IR now. They removed a large part of Allen's game and he's struggling to adjust to it.

Yes, there is more than one issue. He took steps to solve one of them. Is that not something he should do?
And for accuracy sake: he didn't fire the ST coach after 13 seconds. His contract was up and wasn't brought back or he decided to leave. There's a difference. And for the record, I do hope the same standard is used for Smiley and he is replaced at some point.
In promoting Dorsey, in my view the mistake he made was taking too much of Josh's preference to heart. Once Allen said he wanted Dorsey there wasn't even what I would consider a real search. They met the Rooney Rule, interviewed 2 other guys that equally had no experience and pressed on with Josh's choice.
Personally, I thought Dorsey was going to be fired after the season because in season firings rarely accomplish much imo. In firing Dorsey, McD is admitting to a mistake he made and he has now corrected it. We agree on McD needing to fire Smiley which is another mistake by McD.
McD has made very questionable if not bad hiring decisions. As many have pointed out, McD has made several questionable decisions on game day. Now he has added a new wrinkle of benching Cook for an extended time after he fumbled. I get benching him for a few plays or the rest of that possession. I think it was excessive and hurt the offense.
McD doesn't hold himself accountable and he has lost and/or is losing the locker room for it. McD never owned 13 seconds. All he had to do is say "I ***** up." But he never did.
McD is feeling the heat. High expectations for this team and they look bad.

Honestly, the fans/media.
McDermott has been fielding questions from Tim Graham and others since the week after Miami about Dorsey and if he would lose playcalling duties. This stoked the fans fire and with the offense struggling, the drum beat grew louder. It finally came to a head yesterday.
And it's almost hysterical how many fans are. Almost everyone wanted to see Dorsey fired. Then when he gets fired a certain percentage turn it into "he fired him as a scape goat and to save his own arse".
There's more than one issue going on with the Bills. Firing Dorsey only solves some of it. Special Teams looks pretty bad too. Not just the last game either. McD fired the previous ST coordinator after 13 seconds and promoted Smiley to that position. McD deflecting blame.
McD promoted Dorsey, a guy with no OC experience, and then fired him 1.5 seasons later. Not good for McD any way you look at it.

I'd do an outside hire for OC. A guy with previous NFL experience as an OC. As far as DC, I'd probably hire within. I believe defensive woes comes down to too many injuries and not enough quality depth.

It's a pretty stacked WR class at the top, lots of guys in the 6'2"-6'4" 200-220 lb range with long speed, burst, change of direction ability, and hands. Reminds me of the 2014 draft a bit. Gotta grab one! Boom easy Gabe upgrade. Then go RT next and draft another receiver later as Shakir insurance & a Harty/Sherfield uprade. It's so easy a baby could do it!
I was thinking OT too. Both Dawkins and Brown will be free agents after 2024 season. I don't believe Bills will re-sign both and will want to upgrade one of them.

Kincaid is a very strong addition to the offense. Hopefully Beane will a draft a WR early this upcoming draft.

I don't pretend to know what changes will happen and when they'll happen but I truly don't think they will trade Allen. He hasn't been perfect, turns the ball over too much, and makes some bad decisions. If Dorsey gets fired, Allen would draw strong candidates for OC. If McD gets fired, Allen would draw strong candidates for HC. The last thing is most Bills fans love Allen. If they were trade him away, I think fans would lose their *****.

Bills oline struggles against good dlines and can't get run game going. Then they rely on Allen too much to make things happen. Too many dline picks and not enough oline picks. Too many bad picks too. Need a WR2 as well. Kincaid is good and he'll get better. I'm hoping Torrence plays better too.

I hate that I agree with you. If I was betting on it I would bet Dorsey sticks around the season, even though it’s clear things aren’t working.
I don't like my answer either lol

Unless he turns it around in a big way, I think Dorsey is gone after the season.

Terry Pegula is not going to fire McD. Even if they go 5 - 12 this season. I could see McD firing Dorsey but only after the season. McD isn't a quitter and he knows firing Dorsey in season will cause more distractions and create chaos. He just won't do it.

This is 25 minutes long. I only lasted 8 minutes. A bunch of words and catchy phrases. Nothing of substance. No wonder the offense is struggling.

I'm critical of Josh, but I don't think this is the issue.
If anything, he may be putting added pressure on himself to work harder & improve, which has resulted in uncharacteristic play. He knows last year was a struggle, especially the 2nd half & the playoffs. He knows people blamed HIM for the Diggs situation. He knows he leads the league in turnovers the past several years.
So knowing all that, he's likely trying to make changes & play differently. Unfortunately, it's still not working out, and I'm not sure the surrounding players/play calling are helping him with that. Josh is still turning it over, but so are others. Along with the penalties, still no commitment to running the ball, dropped passes, etc. it's only adding to the difficulties Josh is having.
I think this is mostly it. Allen is feeling incredible pressure to make a play because the offense is struggling. Too many draft picks on defense and too much FA money on defense. Only this year did the first 2 picks go offense. Beane messed up at WR last year thinking Davis and McKenzie were WR2 and Wr3 capable. Beane missed on Cody Ford and he missed on Brown too. Kincaid and Torrence look good so far but now the defense is starting to age out. So they have holes on both sides of the ball.

Wait til old Coach Sal gets on tomorrow to tell you everything is great and the team just lost a close, one score game to a team everyone thinks is a SB contender.
As if it wasn't totally one sided until we scored late to make it interesting for one play until the Bengals ended it
Yep, plus he'll go out of his way to defend the Bills coaches and say the Bills are banged up. Meanwhile, Knox is the only guy on offense banged up.

just because he's better than dorsey doesnt mean i want Daboll back. we came out conservative af in the first half against the chiefs in the championship game.
when it finally became apparent we better do something Daboll finally got agressive and we almost won. then there was the whole 50 passes in a row and were just going to throw 50 yards on every down.
I'm pretty convinced that Dorsey picked up a lot of Dabolls bad traits and doesnt know enough to scheme is own stuff well enough to be efficient
Why McD promoted Dorsey to OC I'll never understand. He's never done it before last season. This roster has talent and they are under performing at an alarming rate. I don't care about all the stats that they racked up against garbage teams. The offense is totalling sputtering. They haven't played a complete game since the Dolphins which may be the high water mark.

We don’t know if Dorsey is the problem or if McD behind the seems has his hands on the offense and is the problem.
I’ll never forgive McD for his horrible handling of 13 seconds though. More and more I don’t think we’ll ever win a SB with him. I hope I’m wrong but I think I’ll sadly end up being correct. He comes up small in the big spots
It's at least Dorsey. His play calling is maddening and holding this team back.

Defense did plenty to win tonight. The problems are on the offense side of the ball.
True. That's 3 losses on the offense - Jets, Jags, and Bengals. Players and coaches.

Allen needs to run just enough to make the defense think it's a possibility and get them to hesitate just enough in their coverages. It makes a big difference.
