Yeah people keep saying McDermott wants to run all the time because he was always talking about needing to run better, because we needed to be able to run better for such a long time.
It's not that McDermott wants to just run, it's about the conservative nature of the passing game too. It's designed for short open passes to act as a running game with high percentage throws but little to no upside unless the WR makes 5 guys miss... Just go look at average depth or routes and targets dropping like stones. Diggs in the KC game is the prime example...

I just don't think the evidence on the field over the last several weeks of the regular season and the two games in the postseason match the notion that McDermott is "conservative" or wants the Bills to play a safe, no-risk offense.
Once upon a time, I may have agreed with that statement. But McDermott's coaching has evolved tremendously, and his aggressiveness along with it. Everything that goes with the idea of being an aggressive (rather than conservative) coach, McDermott has been doing from midseason on. He's constantly near the top of the "goes for it on 4th down when he should" charts. He's been going for it on 4th down on his own side of the field, even early in games, quite often. He has overseen an offense that for four straight years now is near the top of the league in passing frequency. He himself said in his season ending press conference that he believes you pass to win in this league.
Yes, at times he's mentioned wanting to run the ball more effectively and to stop turning the ball over. I don't think either of those qualify as "conservative" thinking, though. I think 32 out of 32 NFL head coaches want their team to run the ball effectively and to take care of the football. And as I said, there's a time I would have agreed with the "McDermott is a conservative coach" idea, but that time has passed. All the evidence on the field in recent weeks simply does not back it up any longer. He's become pretty damned aggressive in his approach. And mind you, I'm no McDermott apologist. After the Broncos game, I wanted him fired. I'm STILL not convinced he's the right man for the job long term. But fair is fair, and to continue to call McDermott a conservative coach who wants to play it safe no longer feels fair or, for that matter, accurate.I guess we're just on opposite sides of this situation because clearly we see the evidence showing different things. I think the massive changes from the 2020/2021 seasons to the 2022/2023 seasons were more than just a different play caller. It's a schematic change away from what Josh and the offensive personnel do best.
Sure production is there, but you have Josh F'in Allen lol bro is SUPERMAN, you better produce lol. He covers TONS of ills with his legs, his arm, being impossible to sack etc... when people throw out how we win and he puts up video game numbers as an endorsement of coaching, I'll throw back that Allen is an alien the likes of which we've never seen.... He was on the Ascent with Daboll, imagine how good he'd be if they crafted the offense better to him.
Short outs, screens, and short routes were a staple of this offense... That's a massive change from Daboll. McDermott said in 2022 he wanted the offense to take fewer risks... Well the OC works for him, and the seasons entire script was short low risk passing.
Why does Josh always look better in the 4th quarter when the chips are down and he needs a play? Because they let Josh be Josh ... He runs, he throws all over the field to more vertical routes, he superman's some hoes! He goes full on Josh. But for 3 quarters leading up to that, game in and game out for 2 years, it looks so difficult.
Why has Diggs' average depth of target in dropped to below 10 yards in 10 of his past 19 games and it's over 2 yards shorter than his career avg in Buffalo? Dumb ass bubble screens and stuff HE'S NOT DESIGNED TO DO. Dude is one of the best route runners creating separation down field and we delegated him to gadget guy. Against KC he only had 2 targets over 7 yards.... One was the deep ball and one was 15 yards down field, the other 6 were: -7, -1, 1, 4, 5, 5.... Bro, come on... Tell me this isn't conservative hold the ball use short passes like runs, and control the clock football. That's NOT Josh Allen, it's playing conservative and frankly scared.
It's how the Bills play now since Daboll left. Dorsey did it, Brady did it ... It's a schematic plan and it comes from the HC and how HE wants the game to go. Few challenges down field, just enough to keep them honest, short high percentage passes hoping for YAC.
It's what you do when you have Ryan Fitzpatrick at QB and no WRs... Not Josh Allen, Diggs, Cook, Kincaid....
But we can agree to disagree here man. I just see a dramatic shift in offensive philosophy with how they constructed game plans, route trees, and eliminated the air raid scheme they would employ at will under Daboll. Everything looked difficult for the offense, because they're not playing to their strengths... So what are they playing to?
JMO I guess, but McDermott's desire to play mistake free football with field position, and let his D dominate. Which 20 years ago with Kyle Orton sure.... But it's 2023 and you have QB1 JA17.... This scheme is a joke, not because these coaches don't know what they're doing, it because it's what the HC wants.

That chiefs game was a gem by Brady imo. Our players just couldn’t hit on one big play with a multitude of opportunities. Felt like he had spags number in that game to me and the chiefs dodged a ton of bullets
People hate McDermott so much that they literally want our head coach to hire someone that will start a power struggle? Haha that’s legitimately insane
I don't think that's the criticism. IMO, there is considerable reason to distrust McDermott, just as the other side has reason to praise him. McDermott has proven he's a defensive mastermind... but there are concerns about his handling of other coaches... IE the power struggle/mutual dislike between him and Daboll, the odd handling of Frazier walking away, WR coach Chad Hall leaving Buffalo for a lateral move to Jacksonville the year after his players bought him a truck because he didn't want to be here (he had to request to leave in order to take a move like that), and there are other positional coaches who've left for lateral or even down to college moves at a higher rate than you see from other places that are winning.
Usually when coaches leave it's to take a promotion, especially if you're coming from a winning organization like Buffalo has been. But when you're taking lateral moves or downgrading yourself from the offensive line coach of the bills to the offensive line coach of Virginia Tech, there's something wrong. Either your head coach doesn't know how to hire assistant coaches, or the assistant coaches refuse to want to work with the head coach. Again we are winning, it's not like these guys are massively underperforming in their duties...
It's VERY clear, Buffalo is McDermott's show... His way or the highway... And players and coaches who don't like it can pound salt.
The concerns with this are that he's defensive minded, conservative, and I agree that he wants th Bills to play a safe no-risk offense to mitigate risk and win close games. That's just not Josh Allen though... Dudes a gunslinger, he'll make mistakes, but tons of WOWZAH plays too... He's modern day Brett Favre, and you need to ride out th bad with the good. But I think McDermott wants a regulator on the motor, which hampers things.
You could hear it in his interviews, especially when they were six and six, McDermott openly talked about how the defense was doing great in the offense needed to match it. I mean that's not necessarily incorrect when the defense was standing at its head in the offense underperformed under Dorsey, that's why he was fired. But at the same time you're the head coach, everything rolls up under you too. It was a clear divide within the team, it was McDermott versus the offense not hey we need to be better. It was they as in the offense needed to be better. I thought it was very jarring to hear comments like that from a head coach, and frankly previous years he didn't sound like that. That was new to him being the defensive coordinator and head coach. I think it created more divisiveness within the team because his focus and even his handling of situational play calling and clock management has changed for the worse and more conservative.
Saying just because we're winning means McDermott is doing a great job is massively flawed. But also saying McDermott has to go without actually citing reasons is equally flawed. I personally think McDermott is a product of having a great general manager, and Josh Allen.... McDermott did hand pick both... But I think his overly conservative nature, his terrible clock management, and his unwillingness to let Josh be Josh unless it's regulated in a way he's comfortable with is a huge problem. I'd love to say I think he can grow more, and in 2020 and 2021 I thought he was showing some change in the way he managed the team as a whole in the offense, but that reverted in 22 and 23. I think that was just Brian Gable standing up and saying he was going to do whatever he wanted to do with his offense.
I think the criticism is equally right, McDermott is never going to have another offensive coordinator like daboll come in who isn't going to tow whatever line McDermott draws in the sand. Rather that be the combination of run to pass, the amount of runs Josh Allen is taking, the willingness to put the ball in the air over the middle of the field in "risky" situations... Look at the route trees over the past 2 years versus the 2 years prior to that. Everything has gotten shorter and shorter, they've moved to tons of screen and dump passes which are high percentage low risk passes. I'm sorry but you don't have Josh Allen to throw 25 screen passes a game. You have that guy because he can whip that ball literally anywhere on the field at any given time. But we've become hyper conservative to try and be very very efficient and mitigate risk. I mean that's not necessarily a bad thing when you add other elements into it, something that we basically did not do effectively this year. Some of that's on Josh missing deep balls, some of that's on scheme being not great, and frankly some of it's on them not wanting to take more risks.
Joe Brady coming in is the safe call for McDermott, he knows exactly what he's getting, and Joe Brady knows it's McDermott's show. It was predictable that this was the way it was going to go, and it's not necessarily a bad call, Brady was able to more effectively call the offense than Dorsey far and away. I'm just very curious if they're going to start changing away from some of these terrible screenpass concepts and open up downfield more the way they have in years past and leverage people like diggs and Kincaid and Shakir because these guys are not bubble screen running threats. They don't have the speed for it, they're short to intermediate depth kind of players that can really break a game by picking up chunk yardage.
I guess to me this year they looked like a team that didn't know what they wanted to be. They didn't build game plans to effectively utilize the talent they had on the field. The way Diggs fell off was proof of that, they way Harty never got going after being a reasonable contract considering our cap space, is more proof. Sheffield never came around, Davis looked lost, it was just a "WTF am I watching" kind of year. Hopefully Brady can have more vision, hopefully there isn't meddling from the head coach on how things are going to be drawn up.
McDermott is here, he's not leaving, And frankly even if they have missed the playoffs this year, he would still be our head coach. He's not even kind of on the hot seat, so like him or not we need to settle in.
7 minutes ago, TheyCallMeAndy said:Not to mention, if Bills have a top-5 offense again next season yet fail to bring home either trophy, McD likely just promoted the guy who replaces him.
Maybe... Hopefully Pegs will pull the chute if they fall short again, but you never know. I worry that the tire fire that are the Sabres juxtaposed with the comparative success the bills have been will give mcdermott a lot more rope even if they're not winning titles.

Another stat btw -
Singletary only faced an 8 man box on 5% of his rushes.
https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/stats/rushing#percent-eight-defenders
The lowest of any back in the NFL. His averages, his efficiency numbers, they are going to take a HUGE hit this upcoming season. For comparison sake, Fournette faced an 8 man box 30% of the time. Around 10th highest in the league. Consider that Singletary averaged 5 yards per carry, while Fournette averaged 4.3.
Frank Gore faced an 8 man box 37% of the time, and averaged 3.6 YPC.
If Fournette does become a Bill, you're looking at a 1500 yard back. He's not going to face nearly as many 8 man boxes with Diggs here, and Allen improving his deep ball, and our TEs getting better.
He wouldn't be a 1500 yard back simply because he'd be splitting the rock 3 ways with Singletary and Moss. Don't get me wrong he'd be a great addition, but this is the kind of thing you'd have wanted to get done before the draft and camp. At this point they have a similar style guy in Moss who they invested a pick in to get. Singletary is "the guy" and every report is that he looks GREAT thus far in camp. I just don't see a world where they pay to sign Fournette and totally shift offensive plans to the new guy when they have Singletary who know the offense already and Moss who's been in camp and had his head int he playbook all off-season.
If Fournette came in he'd be playing catch up from day 1, he likely wouldn't be up to speed for at least a few weeks, and by then I certainly hope Singletary already looks good out there, so why would they cut his carries back? I mean if he stinks we have bigger concerns.
Fournette is best off going to a team with RB needs like Chicago where Montgomery just got hurt, and Tarik Cohen is the lead to get carries but stinks. They're desperate enough to change their offense at this point for Fournette IMO... we should not be.
If Moss' injury that has kept him out of practice is serious then I wouldn't mind them having him in, because he's definitely better than anyone else behind Singletary, but that's a big if.

So I need to stand up for Haynesworth here. The excerpt below was taken from his "Letter to My Younger Self" located here: https://www.theplayerstribune.com/en-us/articles/albert-haynesworth-letter-to-my-younger-self
The whole article is worth reading but the most pertinent part below
"You’re going to look at this famous NFL head coach in total disbelief and say, “You want to pay me $100 million to grab the center?”
And he’s going to say, with a straight face, “Albert, if you have more than one sack this season, I’m going to be pissed.”
The last thing you’ll say before walking out of the office is, “Can’t you just pay someone $300,000 a year to do that?”
You will lose your passion for football in Washington, and it will be impossible to get back. In retirement, you will discover that your financial advisor has squandered most of the money you made with the Redskins, and he will be under investigation for financial fraud. Thankfully, you will have discovered a passion for restoring houses and buying property during your offseasons. You’ll even open up a BurgerFi restaurant in Knoxville (I know you love burgers). Instead of being on the beach in the Bahamas, like most people probably think you are, you will be hanging drywall in a condo in South Carolina. And you know what? That will make you extremely happy."
More recently he has been waiting for a kidney transplant. As of January he had a friend who had passed 3 rounds of donor matching criteria. Haven't been able to find anything more recent, and don't know what Covid has done to the timeline for the transplant. But he certainly hasn't been laughing all the way to the bank.
So the defense of him is that after the fact he realized he should've tried more and been smarter with his money? Sounds like the regrets of 90% of retired professional athletes.
Also Washington wasn't his last stop, he went to New England and still didn't get back that "passion" for the game.
-
Dareus and Albert Haynesworth are two case studies into guys who worked hard to get PAID, then just put it on cruise til they got drummed out of the league laughing all the way to the local Chick-fil-A... and bank too I supposed.
He could've been an amazing player, but the "give a *****" gene just isn't there, and now the entire league has seen it. Why bother bringing in a guy who you know won't try hard and will be a bad influence on those around him? That's why he isn't signed.

I thought he could’ve been a little bit of a find based on his Pedegree, but I haven’t seen a single report that indicates that he is. Tyrel Dodson has been getting strong feedback and it sounds like he’s going to stick if he is playing the back up mike.
If I recall Joseph had some off the field concerns coming out and that was a part of why he fell. Overall a lot of people really liked him as an athletic prospect, very much in the rangy mold we need here in Buffalo for McDermott's scheme. He seemed like a great pick late in the draft for another Milano kid of boom potential... but we may be seeing the other side of that coin... the guy tho fits the bill but doesn't put it all together.

After hearing that Vosean was looking slow in the scrimmage and now that he has had reduced reps due to injury....PS in his future I expect.
I was looking forward to seeing what we had in this kid, but thus far the injury bug has been his biggest enemy. Hopefully he can get right on the PS this year, but the clock is ticking on his "tryout" for the NFL... one season lost, now a second TC... not looking good, he really needs to impress as a practice player and year 3 will be make or break for him sneaking onto a 53 or not.

Thad identified Quinton Jefferson running with the 1s ... #BanThad
I was thinking something similar. You can infer which players were running with which units from his reports...
He said in one tweet that Allen threw an INT but it wasn't his fault it was off the WR's hands... then in the next tweet he sayd that Gabriel Davis had a good day aside from allowing a pick off his hands and it went to Siran Neal. So he was running with the 1's against the #2 Defense.
I just wonder how serious the Bills are going to be about all of this stuff... clearly with their suspending Brownie, they're not playing around, but where are they going to draw the line? And if they're going to handcuff these guys that much, why bother even having the practices open at all?

Just wondering where you are getting your info from. I watch very little news these days, because everything is so depressing but I do watch an hour in the morning when I log onto work. I had NBC on today & they had a doctor that said there are 4 vaccines already set to go final phase & they show tremendous promise, especially one that gives a double shot of antibodies including T Cells which is big, that is above my paygrade but basically it attacks infected cells in the body. The doctor said because the government is willing to bet/spend billions on vaccines that haven't been approved/deemed effected, once one is found the doses are going to be coming in by the 100 millions. One guy said we could have over billion doses produced by end of next year. This year is shot but it does sound promising for next year. My guess is your a guy that really looks at the glass as half empty don't you?
I posted about it earlier in a reply, my cousin is on the DHS Covid task force, so my information is based on what he covers in briefings he does DHS Secretary Chad Wolf, as well as the Joint Chiefs who also participate in the calls. My cousin is essentially a coordinator, so he's on the calls to do minutes, summaries, and notes which are then sent out to people not on the calls. So this information comes from those summaries, which are not classified, but again they're not on CNN Either, the're "internal documents for government entities" so its circulated from DHS to NOAA, to the FBI etc... but it's not a press release of info. But again its not secret either.
These are 3 that are US Government funded/coordinated vaccines... if there are others out there which are private funding or outside of the US then great, the more the better... but even stuff I've read from independent sources like Mayo Clinic, and numerous others say that we're a good year away from there being a proper vaccine fully in production and being disseminated.
So take it for what it's worth man... if you prefer your other sources, then have at it, I just trust what my cousin has to say cause it jives with most of what I have found looking around.

You don't need a vaccine for herd immunity, but depending upon Ro you do need 60-70% of the population to have contracted the disease, and we are only apparently approaching that in specific, very hard hit communities within very hard hit cities like NYC.

That's right. Until there is a vaccine, any talk about "herd immunity" actually means "culling the herd" because the only plan there can be "let it spread and see who dies". Not a good plan.
Thanks for the vaccine info and update. From that timeline it sounds like we should be able to have NEXT season, but any sports in 2020 are a reach.
My cousin works for DHS and is one of the team coordinators for the Covid task force, so I get his updates every few days haha. All this stuff is public record from their meetings, but it's not exactly posted in a way that it's easy to find. Their sub committee meeting discussions that are then taken to the top, where recommendations are made to the director of DHS and the joint chiefs, at which time they present to the President, who decides what to say on the matter.... so there is a lot of infor that gets.... well.... "filtered" is how I'll put it lol
There have been statements by the white house that December there will be a vaccine... which is a half truth... there may be one, and it may be viable, but it certainly won't be available yet by then. At least not to you and me... maybe to the President, but certainly not us.
Oh and their early findings for the 3 vaccines they are testing is that 2 of them thus far have proven to 100% inoculate people who do not have the virus, and for people who do it SEEMS to helps then create anti-bodies... not sure yet about that part because only time will tell how effective it is. That's the hard part of these tests... just because it works for a short time that doesn't mean it really works.... that's why we are still 5 months away from really knowing, and they've been testing for a few months already...

Herd immunity is a pipe dream at this point. We dont even know if it's really possible,
and considering we're starting to see people re-diagnosed after their first recovery, it may not ever be until there is a vaccine. (edit: I was just pulling up my sources from the re-diagnoses story from this weekend, and it looks like they are now saying it's merely remnants from the first infection, so maybe there is some hope)I'm simply talking about getting a handle on the virus. Italy, Germany, Spain all did it and they have soccer back. South Korea has baseball back. New Zealand has Rugby back. They were all able to drive down the daily new case numbers to a point where re-opening made sense and wasn't a major risk. New York state has managed to match the curves of those countries, but plenty of others like here in Georgia are seeing the exact opposite. Video footage from this weekend shows downtown Nashville as packed and roaring as ever with not a mask in sight. So we choose our choices and get what we deserve.
The Concern about "Herd Immunity" is you need a vaccine for it. Too many people are contracting Covid and having it be very mild... many don't even know they have/had it, and others don't have serious symptoms at all. These cases are what has pushed the narrative that it's no big deal, however in Sweeden (a country that didn't shut down at all) they're finding despite an explosion in cases, there is an VERY small population who actually have the anti-bodies. What that means is if you have Covid-19 and its very mild your body never really fights to create strong enough anti-bodies for them to be retained in your body's Rolodex of anti-bodies to fight it in the future.
That's where the concern of re-infection comes from, if people don't have anti-bodies after a while for this thing, there potential for re-infection is very high. That's hugely concerning.... If people can be reinfected, then there is no possible way to reach herd immunity unless everyone gets the virus and it's bad. OR a vaccine could accomplish the same thing, but right now it looks like most are almost a year out... in the US there are 3 different vaccines being tested on humans right now, but clinical trials will take until December to know which ones are truly viable for mass production.... Then you need to factor in time for production by pharma companies... the estimate right now if everything goes well for one or more of the vaccines is April for the roll out to the the population for a vaccine, starting with those at the highest level of risk first... doctors, nurses, first responders, social workers, people with illnesses which make them more susceptible, followed by elderly.... then it would go to the general population.
For everyone to be inoculated in America it will take MONTHS.... now factor in how many people are anti-vaccines and what that does to the idea of "herd immunity". We could still be a full year to hear and a half away from even considering getting back to "Normal".

I don't disagree with you guys, and I could be wrong, as i said my understanding is the coaches aren't allowed to interact with the players or it's a CBA Violation, which is why the players go to outside QB coaches and facilities to work out... if they're at their team's facilities they aren't allowed to interact with the coaches so they're just doing it on their own, so why not go to a facility where they can work with trainers.
It's always easier to work out with a trainer and other guys than by yourself.

State of Mississippi demands repayment from Favre
in The Stadium Wall

This isn't accurate, he didn't embezzle it, that would imply that he kept it. But he didn't knowingly redirected to the University of Southern Mississippi to help build a volleyball stadium rather than a being used for welfare. Which is also absolutely gross...
All that said, it seems like nobody actually read this article... In this, it states after the issue in 2017 and it coming to light, Favre repaid all $1.1M, $500K 2020 and $600K in 2021... But now the accusation is he owes $729,790 in interest. Which is laughable honeslty that he'd owe 66% interest. It even called it a loan... Which it wasn't. It was a clear misappropriation of government funds, which legislators should also be held accountable for.
On top of that, it's illegal to earn interest on Federal money as it is earmarked for expenditure or return only. If a state gets $10M in Federal funds they can't put it in the stock market to appreciate, so demanding interest from Favre on a "loan" of Federal money is actually illegal.
