    McD and Daboll hate each other probably 🤣

    Posted

    Week 18 2021 doesn't count. Josh played like 8 snaps to get his guys to their milestones. The week 17 Falcons game Josh was sloppy with the ball. It happens, but they won. That week 1 Steelers game was a wakeup call and the Offense got into gear after that. The Jags game the plays were fine, guys didn't execute. 2020 AFC championship Singletary dropped a sure TD when wide open that would have given the Bills a 2 score lead. He wasn't calling shotgun runs on 3rd/4th and inches or goal to go.

    I think there is some frustration around Allen's game from everybody. Not necessarily the staff, but it is fair to say he is a rollercoaster. I don't mean this as a criticism. Allen is a dawg. I love him as our QB. Outside of Mahomes, there isn't another I would take on this team. It just sort of is what it is.

     

    I am at a point where I think Allen more or less made Daboll. But because of how high the high's are (MIA) and how low the low's are (NYJ) there is some hesitancy to get away from what we have been good at because of how much the pendulum can swing. And that is how we ended up with Dorsey and why the staff was so hard up on making him the next OC.

    All of that is to say, I don't really see this offense as wildly different than Daboll. It seems like we have just as many "Fire Dorsey" threads as we did "Fire Daboll" thread. The comments feel nearly identical.

     

     

    Look, there were times when people were frustrated with Daboll. I myself remember the NE wind game they lost where he kept calling running plays until the 4th quarter. Josh's arm strength was enough that they should have called passes way sooner, since he wasn't effected like other QBs would be. But those were few & far between. With Dorsey it's every single week. Daboll called the most unbelievable playoff offense in history in January 2021. Perfect game vs. New England & then had the Chiefs beat before Frazier et al. blew it. Dorsey does not compare.

    Yeah, I was paying attention because it interested me.  During his 4 years in Buffalo, it was like Daboll went to Charm School.  You could see it in his pressers. 

     

    2018 and early 2019, he was curt and veered close to throwing players under the bus (Beasley deflected catch that went for a pick-6: "maybe the throw is a little low, you still have to catch it"). 

     

    By the time he left, he was relaxed, he acted as though he were personally concerned about each reporter's health, he was gracious, he seemed fun.

     

    I can't say it was McDermott, but someone during Daboll's time in Buffalo re-cast him.  Dick Vermeil used to send his coaching assistants to Dale Carnegie, wouldn't surprise me if McDermott did something similar. 

     

    Daboll came to Buffalo with a reputation for screaming and yelling at his players.  In particular, he was reported to be ridiculously brutal to Colt McCoy:

    Josh Allen tells a story his rookie year about going off-script and having Daboll just launch into him, screaming at him through the helmet radio, then calming down on the sideline, then thinking about it and coming back to scream at him some more.  He was seen screaming at Josh in 2019 during the NE game, at the same time that there were complaints about delays getting plays called.

     

    After that, Daboll went up to the booth and he never game down.

     

    I agree with you, not just sports but any venue, screaming and yelling at someone in public does not help performance

     

    I think McDermott is probably very intense, and a player knows when he's "on the carpet" but he doesn't need to scream in public to convey that impression.

    That's great to learn about Dick Vermiel. Dale Carnegie works. I was skeptical when my work signed me up years ago. But it helps you communicate with your staff more effectively and hash things out in a productive manner.

    Would you trade AJ Epenesa?

    He had a pick 6 in one game and Dominated a full game as much as any DE we have seen since probably Bruce.  On top of it we waited years for him to flash. We can’t trade him right now. He’s an impact player and you can’t have enough of those when you’re making a Super Bowl push. 

    Eh don't forget Mario. He had a few monster games too. Agree with your overall point though.

    no, he cannot make those passes almost ever.  When is the last in stride TD pass he has thrown over 20 yards?   He makes lazers in short windows for sure, but he needs to make the routine ones also. 

    Davis yesterday vs. Jax (19 yards but he was more than a yard into the end zone)

    Davis last week vs. Miami (18 yards but same thing)

    Davis 2 weeks ago vs. Wash (35 yards)

     

    Plus he had the 55 yarder to Diggs vs. Miami but Diggs had the broken tackles and spin move for YAC and score. 
     

    He’s had 1 bad game this season (week 1). Has multiple other 15 or so yard TDS this year too. He’s completing 73.1% of his passes even with the drops.

    5-12 on 3rd down, <22 mins t.o.p, one first down in the first 4 drives. Other stats from the game. 

    And how many drives ended because of drops/penalties? The Bills need to let Josh run too, and they’re coaching him not to. It’s leading to some indecision.
