The Bills went over 2 decades without getting into the playoffs before the McBeane regime. Revolving door at the QB position. We now have one of the best QB's in the league. Elite. Making the playoffs has become the norm. McD deserves credit for all of it. Mike Tomlin of the Steelers just fired his OC under similar circumstances. Let the season play out people. A win against the high flying Eagles on Sunday and its on like a MOFO.

Offense, Defense, Special teams Joe Brady is off to a very good start with Josh Allen. Wow, what a sight for sore eyes...

Same here, Good to see our Yodeling Yolo posting again. We missed you man!

Great post Mango You guys have seen me float the idea of Ryan Fitzpatrick as Buffalo's next OC more than once. From a Bills/ players perspective If Fitz tells them something players will respond well and listen. Josh would respond well under Fitzpatrick. The Chan Gailey playbook with Fitz calling plays and poof, like magic, the Billls O and Josh Allen are riding high in the saddle once again!

THE ROCKPILE REVIEW - On Scapegoats and Five and Five
Figster replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall
You hit the nail on the head. Josh Allen plays with a gunslinger mentality. One of the strongest arms the NFL has ever seen. Checking the ball down and taking what the D gives you doesn't come natural to him. Never has, and without the management part of the equation Allen will continue to have a high TD to INT ratio. So lets hope Joe Brady has the balls to get in Allens face and chew him out like Daboll or its all for not IMO. Myself personally Shaw, Josh Allen has all the tools, (and then some) the intelligence, and sees the field as good as the GOAT/ Tom Brady. Its up to Joe Brady now to make it work. Allen takes responsibility for the firing of Ken Dorsey https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/allen-blames-himself-for-dorsey-firing-but-insists-bills-aren-t-a-broken-team/ar-AA1k2CPH?ocid=xboxntp&cvid=c7db3f0fa75342b89e0cbff46b64e222&ei=14 -

THE ROCKPILE REVIEW - On Scapegoats and Five and Five
Figster replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall
Why so adamant a man like Sean McDermott wouldn't/couldn't learn from his mistakes? Never ending? You could say HC's make mistakes in every game they lose. So I suppose it is never ending. Everyone wants to point to the 13 seconds of madness only Mahomes could make, Get over it. -

Terry Pegula is a better business man though, and he doesn't have Russ Brandon whispering sweet nothings in his ear ; ) -
Brian Daboll for OC again

Figster replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall
I agree, its doubtful that Mcbeane makes the same mistake twice. If Joe Brady doesn't start showing them something and quick, the search is on IMO. It may already be on for all we know. Who as an Offensive minded coach wouldn't want to work with Josh Allen. -

Fitzy for OC you mean. Fitz has the Gailey playbook memorized already. Great leadership abilities. Fearless when he played. Bills players including Josh would respond very well under him. I've been preaching this idea until I'm Buffalo blue in the face. The Perfect Fit/z. Amen I don't want to hear about all the $$$ Fitzy makes with his cushy job on Thursday night football. Buffalo needs you!!! The bearded one needs a call from Pegula...

Who was behind the decision to fire Dorsey?
Figster replied to The Helmet of's topic in The Stadium Wall
What McD did with a D missing 5 starters vs Denver kept the Bills in the game after the O coughed the ball up 4 times. Doing double duty as HC/DC. Took the Bills into the playoffs after a 2 decade drought with Tyrod Taylor. McD just sent Buffalo's biggest problem packing. What more do you want from this guy? -

Fire McDermott - 12 On the Field INEXCUSABLE
Figster replied to WEATHER DOT COM's topic in The Stadium Wall
Logic has no place here Thanks for this post you Old Coot -
Big fan of Daboll as Bills OC. He did a great job with the development of Josh Allen. Hated losing him. Getting Kincaid in the 1st round is a good step in the right direction IMO. I also think we have just scratched the surface with James Cook.
-
Managing Allen doesn't mean you have to eliminate what makes him great. There's a time and place for everything. Throwing into double, even triple coverage is a mistake waiting to happen. Daboll ran Allen like a RB exploiting Allens skill set. Its not something that is going to give one of the best arms the NFL has ever seen, longevity. You get that right?
-
Fair enough, I suppose that may also be the case. Daboll and Allen worked very well together. I hate to wish bad things on HC Daboll, but I hope he gets fired and comes back to his boy Josh, lol
-
While I don't fault Ken Dorsey for Allens poor decisions on the football field. What you say is true because Dorsey doesn't have the balls to chew Allen out. Well put Zag20...

Stuck in the mud = Coaching & Lack of Talent
Figster replied to PepeSilvia's topic in The Stadium Wall
The Bills have lost good coaching on both sides of the football in Daboll and Frazier and tried to fill the void with a QB coach and HC doing double duty. I blame the Beane head... -
Numerous plays show Cook open for dump offs with huge chunks of yardage in front of him. Allen needs to take what the oppositions D is giving him. Staring down his WR's, not going through his progressions, WTF...

Would McDermott Fire Dorsey If We Fail Thursday?
Figster replied to boyst's topic in The Stadium Wall
What is missing is the Josh Allen threat of running the football. Something that in all likelihood McBeane tried to remove from the Daboll playbook while Brian Daboll was still OC for the Buffalo Bills. Dabolls response was probably something like " you coach them then". Across the league we see teams with mobile signal callers running the football more from the QB position. Who is at fault here when other facets of the Offense have shown improvement? RB by committee has improved and the 1st round rookie TE Kincaid is coming on strong. The kind of improvements that can help carry the team when the weather turns ugly. -

Figster replied to boyst's topic in The Stadium Wall
Voted no on firing Dorsey because the Bills Offense is in transition. The Josh Allen run game removal is fueled by McBeane.
