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.

What a leap in logic. There was nothing said to indicate that at all.

McDermott on the radio right now giving his best non-answers about the coaching change. What a joke.

The logical head to call for next is McDermott anyways.

Yes, that all tracks too. I can't confirm/deny what I was told, but I am 100% sure that they are the sibling of a Bills player, it's definitely a game of telephone since the player isn't even on the offense, so take what you will from it.

So I had an interesting conversation with the sibling of a Bills player (on defense) during the preseason. They mentioned that Diggs was pissed because he didn't think the Bills were giving him an opportunity to hit his incentives in his contract with the plan on offense. That's why he and McD had it out. I don't know how true it is, but that's believable to me.

I don't understand how anyone is blaming the execution of the players for these losses as if there's no direct correlation between player success, playcalling, and game preparation during the week. The coaches are responsible for getting their players ready to play and execute the gameplan. The coaches are responsible for the gameplan. When one guy is making a blunder then it's on the player. When everyone is doing it then it is on the coaching.

So wrong. Scores are the biggest decider of games and Allen scores more than just about anyone in the league. Silly to focus on the bad when he's the entire offense.

Cover1 can do a much better job of showing it than I could describe, and I'd encourage you to check them out. Cover1 can do a much better job of showing it than I could describe, and I'd encourage you to check them out.

I can give the defense a pass because of the injuries. Frazier was bad. McDermott has been mostly good at calling the defense but he's just stinky garbage in the high pressure situations. It's why he harps on execution so much, because when you hang the game on his decision making it crumbles. Daboll was obviously way more important to this organization than most want to admit.

Allen literally has been the entire offense for multiple seasons, but yeah, totally, it's the coaching that's made him look good. This has to be one of the worst takes I've seen on here today.

The season has been like watching a car crash in slow motion. You hate to see it but you can't look away.

I'm not going to pretend that the players aren't without some blame here, but to me it's tiny in comparison to the coaching staff. A not insignificant amount of Dorsey's playcalls never worked, and he kept hammering those same calls every game! He was incapable of self-evaluating and saying "well this play hasn't worked for the guys on the field". Maybe the plays are awesome for a different set of players or a different QB, I don't know, but I do know that Josh has had similar interceptions for the past few games in a row and Dorsey would stubbornly go right back to them. It's beyond frustrating. Allen's "I'm executing the plays as called" is very telling.

The playcalling decisions were just as questionable as the scheme, maybe more so. It felt like Dorsey was picking them at random instead of trying to establish a gameflow.

Has anyone reached out to Ja Rule to get his take?

People going after the franchise QB in a passing offense that didn't make any sense are nuts. Talents like Allen are insanely rare and it's up to the coaching staff to match his level of talent. Dorsey had to go, I think McDermott ultimately has to go as well because I don't see a path to recovering from these blunders. This is a step in the right direction at least.

I don't understand this take at all. There's pretty much universal consensus from football x's and o's guys that the offense didn't make a whole lot of sense.

Right. McD has nothing to hide behind if the season continues like it has. The team, especially Josh and the offense, look like they hate playing. If McD can't get them energized and having fun, then he needs to get the boot too.

Good. No excuses. Either be the growth mindset coach you tout yourself to be and improve, or GTFO of Buffalo.

Well it's a start. Spain didn't exactly light the world on fire after leaving Buffalo.

100%, he should have been booted weeks ago. Baby steps in the right direction, but the season is probably a wash now, better to focus on the future of the rest of the coaching staff.

He was a problem. Arguably the biggest problem, but ultimately I think bigger changes are warranted.

You don't go from 2020-21 and even 22 Allen to this without there being major scheme and coaching issues. Dorsey has screwed up Allen, they've taken away his improvisation and ability to keep defenses honest with the run. His passing schemes are awful.

Gabe isn't open until the ball is already out of Allen's hands. The flats are open, he should have gone to Cook I guess, but it's a bad play call.

He doesn't have to be fired now, but what recourse do they have? How many times does he need to crumble before we realize that he can't function in high pressure situations. He's a good DC, maybe even great, but he can't juggle the responsibilities.
