Peyton Manning’s worst and final season? I guess this would be the closest example. So we’re banking on finding another Gary Kubiak? So if we fired McDermott they should hire a long time offensive coordinator that was a failure at head coach? So someone like Josh McDaniels if he’s fired? Bill O’Brien? Pat Shurmur? Lol

Just doing a quick look but I don’t see any recent history of a team firing a head coach, keeping the franchise QB, and winning a Championship. Am I mistaken?

Can Josh Allen? Can Brandon Beane? McDermott has 5 playoff losses. Allen played poorly in 3 of them. Can Beane build an offensive line to protect Allen? We can do this all day. We need to stop acting like McDermott has nothing to do with getting the Bills to the position they’re in today. His defenses are consistently top 10. I compare him to Dungy but maybe I shouldn’t because Dungy couldn’t get the Colts defense to that level. We’re close. When you’re close you keep building. If there comes a time when the Bills move backwards then this discussion is relevant.

This is what people don’t seem to understand. Losing to the Chiefs and Bengals isn’t something you fire a coach for. It’s honestly embarrassing that we’re having these conversations. Bills fans need to be better. But maybe I shouldn’t be shocked because reporters use to say fans wanted coaches fired and Jim Kelly benched for losing Super Bowls.

Probably every QB take ever. Trent Edwards in his 1st start completed probably 20 passes under 5 yards and I thought we had the next Tom Brady.

This is just the normal sequence of things. Typical fans and media. When there’s a really good team for a long period of time but doesn’t win a championship the narrative switches from positive to negative. Coaches get blamed first. Then GM. Then QB.

Beasley would know better than anyone who’s a better leader between Dak and Allen.

I just realized you can see how many posts you’ve made in a topic. This is my 75th post in this thread. Holy crap! 😂

But who is “Big Dawg”?

Now what do we talk about for a month?

How do we know it’s really him?

Can we trust Sal?

I was hoping people had actual substance to their complaints. Not just the typical stuff. Actual differences between what Daboll did and what Dorsey did. I ask because I didn’t see a huge difference between the 2. We were still 11 personnel mostly. We lost that slot weapon, Crowder was supposed to be it. The vertical game as the year went on was said to be due to Allen’s injury. The injury is an another reason why Dorsey shouldn’t get so much heat. Most of the complaints are post injury.

The Bills have reached a certain level where anything less than perfection is criticized. Even though the Bills are better than almost every other offense they’re judge against perfection. That’s what is expected. Basic stats and analytic stats mean nothing if there’s any failure at all. At the end of the 2021 playoffs Allen was nearly perfect. That’s what fans think is the standard. They’re holding Dorsey to that standard.

All I’m getting is the same stuff people said about Daboll, which is exactly what I was expecting.

Definitely LG. But that was his guy.

The first part for whatever plays you’re thinking of is likely a WR failure not a design failure. Im pretty sure motion rates were pretty equal between Dorsey and Daboll. Right about 14%. But I only saw one stat on that so it could be wrong.

Kind of had one in 2021. You’re talking missing playoffs regression?

I absolutely hate how Diggs is handling it. Don’t do cryptic messages. If you want it to be on social media then come out and talk about it. I didn’t take Diggs for the cryptic message type. Thought he was a real one.

Use of RBs was also a Daboll complaint. I dont see anything new. The Dorsey complaints are the Daboll complaints. The huge difference was redzone offense where Daboll was great drawing up plays. But this improved as the season went on so my complaint went away.

I should add that there is an offensive coach I was disappointed with and it wasn’t Dorsey. Aaron Kromer was a disappointment last year. I felt the OL took steps backwards.

How would Josh Allen show up to a charity event and it doesn’t make any social media?

I don’t know. I just didn’t feel like Allen was telling the truth when he said he and Diggs talked all offseason. Also Josina Anderson had a weird reaction to Allen saying Diggs is his brother. At least I thought it was weird. She’s pretty close with players.

I like to think I understand the game and understand what I’m seeing on offense. I’ve disliked many OC’s the Bills have hired. When fans hated Daboll here I defended him because I liked what he was trying to. I don’t see many differences between Daboll and Dorsey’s schemes. There’s different personnel on the field, mainly Beasley out and McKenzie in. Very different WRs. I look at redzone offense a lot as well. They were terrible in the middle of the season falling to 23rd in November but improved dramatically and ended up 9th overall. So I ask you to please explain what makes Dorsey a bad OC? I didn’t like all the deep shots but it was later said that Allen’s elbow felt less discomfort throwing deep.

Pete Carrol doesn’t get enough recognition. But I’m taking Belichick. He’s a mastermind.
