Coach Tuesday

Please stop shouting at me.

Can never have enough good d linemen - solid pickup.

Star

Holmes is just the worst - he has flippers for hands.

I love Jerry but he’s one of the all-time Bills boneheads.

False. Losman was quick to leave the pocket and late to find the open receiver - that’s exactly what I’m seeing today.

This is Losman-esque.

Allen is having a horrendous day. He’s not fully cooked, needs way more time in the oven.

These coaches are getting themselves fired.

Got the stones to elaborate on this?

Have you ever looked at PPP on this site?

3/4 of the responses in this thread have missed Dilfer's point entirely.

This has literally zero to do with the point Dilfer is making, but do your thing...

KB realized he'd have to start running now in order to get there on the 27th.

Thank you. This is where I'm at. There are serious red flags. Put them on notice (I'm sure that has happened), give them a chance to fix it, and if the problems persist, cut bait. It's not about losing - it's about how they're losing, and how they're failing to protect their investment at QB.

Interesting. He's been a bad player and fights with his coaches...

But that's what I'm saying - if this is going to be the New Normal for 2018, you're better off signing a street QB and letting him take the pounding.

It is not my preference but the current regime, right now, has displayed outright negligence. I applaud the the investment in draft picks required to get a QB, even if it may have been a year late. But surrounding that QB with horrendous talent and scheme and exposing him to injury is not a smart plan and it needs to be fixed ASAP. To be clear: it is fixable. But messing around with a long-term "culture change" is not what I'd want to hear about if I were the owner, at this point. They have a young QB getting beaten to a pulp.

My plan now? Or my plan heading into the season? My plan now would be to fire Juan Castillo if the blocking isn't fixed this Sunday. I'd put McDermott on notice that he's not going to be the one hiring another offensive coordinator - the next coach will be doing that, so the offense had better shape up. And I'd tell Beane (if they haven't already) that we're not in the business of building a church choir, and they've already pissed away $3M on a lottery ticket WR while there are street free agent WRs who would at least demonstrate some effort on passing downs, such as Kendall Wright, Rashard Matthews, and several others - the GM and his highly-touted (and well-paid) personnel department better find some players or they'll be looking for jobs in January as well. In the meantime I'd also make it clear that if they don't fix the blocking and the scheme, they need to sign a QB who can manage this thing and absorb the pounding for the next 2.5 months. If Matt Moore is too smart to subject himself to that, pick one of the other schlubs on the street and let them run the offense until the blocking situation is sorted. But getting Allen injured is a one way ticket to pink slip land. Also, I'd pull John Miller ASAP and put Teller in the lineup in his place. John Miller is an abortion of a guard.

He already has taken more sacks than any other QB in the league and he started the season on the bench. If this was the plan, it's a bad one, especially if it gets him injured. Rosen would've been killed by now - if they had drafted Rosen he'd be filling out law school applications by this point. Allen is built sturdier but this is madness.

Again, McD speaks like he's been given the reigns to a collegiate program. I think he really believes this to be the case. I also think the Pegulas never signed up for a 10 year cultural experiment and things are going to reach a fever pitch in November if linemen are still colliding with each other on running plays and their highly-invested young QB is on the sideline wearing a cast... I don't see McDermott lasting through next season, unless things change drastically and soon.

Who are you?

He honestly DOES believe that effort trumps talent - it's apparent from his press conference today. He said multiple times that the Bills need to change their attitude and that the run game would get fixed as a result.

Well, Pol Pot certainly would agree.

He speaks as though he's running a college program. It's interesting.
