Let me take a stab at showing why some think the article is disingenuous in a manner. He starts off with what his obvious opinion and thrust of his slant for the article: "Obviously, Sean McDermott owed more to the public." This is obviously either bothering the writer himself, or he knows he can stoke his readership by bringing up something he knows they are upset about. But Sean McDermott doesn't owe the public an explanation. He is not a public servant. He works for the Pegulas and the NFL. Also, as a good leader, he is making sure that no one (player or coach) gets thrown under the bus. Do people really want him to point fingers? Or instead of saying, ultimately it was his responsibility/execution, did they want him to break down at the podium and say, "It's all my fault. I screwed up. Woe is me." A good leader doesn't do either of those things. A good leader handles their business internally, picks themselves up, and moves on. I just don't know what people want from him. But, the real problem to me with the article is this: "so many of the men who poured their blood, sweat and tears into the organization have been left completely in the dark...With those 13 seconds shrouded in mystery, players were forced to investigate themselves. Many, of course, declined to speak which is understandable considering their boss has refused to utter a word of substance on the matter. There’s little upside. But several did share their findings with Go Long on the condition of anonymity." So he starts off telling us how "many" players feel...leading us to believe it is like a majority of the players. Then tells us "many" players declined to speak. So did many players feel what you said if many players declined to talk? And notice how he's amping up the animosity towards McDermott (and his feeling of the situation) with his emotionally-charged word choices (see bolded phrases above). This is what in the courtroom would be considered leading a witness (or in this case, a reader). So, after saying many players did not comment, he claims that "several did share their findings...on the condition of anonymity." Let's break that down. How many are several? The definition of several is "More than two, but not many." So, rather than that original "MANY" players he inferred he knew how they felt, we are down to maybe a small group of players. And he says the player's "share their findings" from these "investigations" that they were "forced" to make on their own. Ok, what did this small group of players conclude? What are the actual quotes that will bring us to a better understanding of what happened or what is going on? Well, Dunne offers us four quotes total from either 2, 3, or 4 players. The way they are placed in the article, it could only be two players talking, or it could be up to 4 players (definitely not "many"). “You preach accountability,” one player said. “But you don’t practice it.” Said one player: “Everybody knew that if we just beat Kansas City, we would’ve beat any team.” And another: “We definitely would’ve won the Super Bowl.” “You don’t get over,” one player said, “a game like that.” The first quote is almost undoubtedly from McKenzie. The other three quotes have nothing to do with the 13 seconds or who is to be held accountable, etc. There is no investigative work here by the players or the writer. It is just what any player would say after a tough loss, or what you're expectation was. Nothing to do with McDermott or how he handled the situation then or since. So, after starting off making us think that the majority of the team feels the way the writer is leading us, it all comes down to one anonymous quote, from one player. So, one player said the coach needs to practice accountability and from that we are to believe there is some kind of mutiny at One Bills Drive? And with this one quote, he proves his thesis: "The conclusion? This loss is on the head coach. Not the players. The coach." Who said it wasn't? Whenever you are a leader, every loss ultimately lies in your lap. And why not throw a few of these in to make your readers feel the way you do about McDermott, "No coach can clap their way through this loss." "And the more you learn about this historic collapse, the more it appears the head coach once empowered as the judge, juror and executioner at One Bills Drive should be No. 3." He is trying to paint McDermott as some tyrannical leader, but gives no proof other than his own opinion and that one quote from one player. And one last point. His whole thing that McDermott has also been closed mouth in-house again comes from Isiah, who admittedly missed the team meeting, and possibly 1-3 other players he talked to (but who didn't give him a quote about it), and who might not be high enough on the ladder to get explanations anyhow (do we really think McDermott didn't talk to say Josh, or Micah, or Jordan in their final meetings about what happened. Or that he, Frazier, Beane, and the Pegulas haven't discussed it, etc., etc.). Not saying it might not be true that McDermott was closed lip with parts of the organization (because their pay grade didn't warrant them being a part of those discussions), but this is the only other proof we get from Dunne, the following quote: Everything ended very “abruptly,” one team source said. So, the actual quote is "abruptly," the rest of the words are the writers. So what is the actual context to "abruptly?" We're supposed to take a one word quote from an anonymous source and extrapolate out that everyone hates McDermott or something? And who is a team source? A coach, a trainer, someone in the cafeteria? What would it really tell us anyhow unless we knew at least their position with the team. It is what it is, a writer having a premise/agenda for an article, tries to find proof to back up his thesis. When there is very little to actually go on, take what little you have and make it seem like it is more, and use a lot of emotionally-charged words to direct your reader to your foregone conclusion. More opinion piece, than any type of hard-hitting investigative journalism imo.

Got it. Sorry for misunderstanding. "Learn to finish" was in regards to Bills not finishing the game in regulation, not regarding stopping a team in OT (due to coin toss). Not for nothing...but I'm not as hard on the staff/team as you and many others are about the 13 seconds. Mistakes were made...they'll learn from it. Great season, phenomenal playoff games, fun ride...and I do believe McDermott learns from his mistakes...but most importantly, we still have Josh Allen. The fun is just beginning. Life is a journey, not the destination.

I used to think this too when it came to overtime rules. But the KC/NE game and the KC/BUF games changed my mind. When two great offenses are playing, they completely wear down defenses by the end of the game. It's easy to just say...it's fair because your defense had a chance to stop them. But at that point in the game, both defenses have been worn down and can't defend as well as they could earlier in the game. The offenses have a decided advantage at that point (in a high flying game like KC/Buf). You see it happen even in regular season games all the time. A team isn't able to get much running game going, but they keep plugging away and then by the 4th quarter, the running game is all of a sudden effective (because the defense has been worn down). So, whichever offense wins the toss, has the advantage because they just need to score against a drained and depleted defense. After playing one of the best offenses in the league for 60 minutes, laying it all on the line every play, it's not as easy as some think to get that last stop. I favor something similar to what it seems like the Bills are proposing: Put time on the clock (10 minutes) and play it like a bonus quarter...play out the full time. And this would only be for the playoffs. As Beane said, you can live with ties during the season. The knock against adding extra time is that it is such a physical game, the players really shouldn't be playing more than 60 minutes for health/injury reasons. But if it's only for the playoffs, then it might happen what, only once or twice per year, if that? So, overall, that shouldn't overtax the players. 10 minutes may seem long, but with only 5 minutes, an offensive team might be able to hold possession for most of that 5 minutes before scoring (which also wouldn't really give the opposing team much of an opportunity). If the overtime period ends in a tie, what about a field goal shootout (like soccer or hockey) as has been suggested by some. Each kicker gets a shot from whatever yard line. If they both make it, move them back 5 or 10 yards. And so on. First to miss a FG that the other made, loses. You could still have complaints depending on who the kickers are, or the fairness of losing like that, etc. But, you had an entire extra period to try and win, so at that point, yes it would suck to lose by a missed field goal, but no one could say you didn't have plenty of opportunities elsewhere to win the game.

Despite a close friend who watches a lot college football (he's a Florida fan), telling me over and over that E.J. was not a good QB, I still watched the 2013 draft and said "E. J. is a star. He has the 'it' factor."

Just wanted to take a quick look at some rushing stats...since throughout the year, the biggest knock against the defense seemed to be their play vs. the run. And this seemed to be a good spot for it. Overall, the Bills ended the season 12th in rushing yards against, allowing 25 yards/game more than league-leading Baltimore. They averaged 112.5 rushing yards allowed per game, good for 15th place, just above the league average. But... The Bills Defense held 11 (of 19) opponents under 96 yards total team rushing (they held 9 teams under 80 yards total team rushing). Team rushing totals for those 11 games' opponents were: 75, 71, 78, 48, 68, 79, 70, 44, 96, 48, 89. Those are some pretty dominating numbers. And the backs in those games weren't a murderers row by any means, but they weren't horrible (as can be said for some of the QB competition this year): Najee Harris, Antonio Gibson, Myles Gaskin, Michael Carter, Mark Ingram, Chubba Hubbard, Carlos Hyde, Mike Davis, Cordarrell Patterson, Damien Harris. In 14 of 19 games, the leading rusher (RB or QB) for the opposing team was held below 72 yards. In 14 games, the opponent's leading RB was held under 45 yards rushing. That seems a bit surprising, huh? Only 4 RBs had 100+ yards rushing in a game. Two playing at a HOF level this year. Taylor 185, Henry 143, Fournette 113, and Damien Harris (111, 103, 30 in 3 games). There were 3 really bad miscues in the run game this year: D. Henry's 76 yard TD, Harris' 64 yard TD in the wind game, and Harris' 31 yard scamper in Pats game II. If those three plays had been executed properly, then only Fournette and Taylor would have had 100 yard games this year. So the Bills completely shut down the run in 11 games, had 2 really horrible games (Pats I/Colts), had maybe 4 other bad games, and 2 ok games. Interesting to note that three of the eight (ok to horrible) games, the QB was the leading rusher for the opponent (Mahomes twice, Cam Newton once). That may be something McDermott definitely needs to look into. If you take away QB runs, then the Bills really only had 3-4 bad games against running backs on the season. And two of those were against guys playing at an all-world level this year (Henry and Taylor). This isn't to say we don't need to improve against the run, but I'm not sure our run defense is quite as bad as it looked at times this year. Again, if the three major miscues above were just mistakes/execution, not scheme or personnel, then I would say the places to look for improvement is the Colts game (what went wrong there, if it wasn't just Taylor being amazing) and how to stop a mobile QB (not give up cheap yards to QB scrambles). Mahomes had 130 yards rushing in two meetings against us this year. If we are going to get past them, this needs to be figured out. As to the miscues, if I'm not mistaken, they were all on cut-back runs. Something else to look into (is that on Tremaine or the safeties over pursuing? I'd have to go back and look at the film. Can't remember off the top of my head). Anyhow, just food for thought/discussion about where the improvement is needed (as far as the rush defense is concerned).

Agreed. So, the question now is did they run him into the ground (in 2018 and 2019) and he is finished, or with only 10 games played over the last two years has his body had time to recover? Yes, he was placed on IR to finish both 2020 and 2021, but he probably could have come back from both injuries before the end of the season, but with Carolina basically already out of the playoffs both years, they decided to shut McCaffrey down and not risk further damage. And last year, he had already been on IR earlier in the year, so the second IR ended his season per rules. The Panthers were 5-7 at the time with 5 games left (they still had to play Buffalo and Tampa Bay twice), and McCaffrey was probably going to miss 4 weeks. So, they shut him down. So, the good news is he is not recouping from a major injury this offseason, he should have a fully healthy offseason. And his injuries weren't major knee injuries, etc. They were ankle sprains, muscle (hamstring), etc. Yes, ankles can be chronic, but none of the injuries were major or something that might slow him down, or have long term effects. And I think our training staff could help keep him healthier if his body isn't totally shot (especially from the soft tissue injuries). I'm comfortable leaving the final decision about his health going forward to Beane and the Bills medical staff if a trade scenario was to be investigated.

Here is McCaffrey's injury history (for reference): 2017 season: No missed time due to injuries 2018 season: No missed time due to injuries 2019 season: No missed time due to injuries Sep 20, 2020: Pedal Ankle (high) Sprain Grade 3 suffered a right high-ankle sprain Week 2 and missed six games Nov 8, 2020: Shoulder A/C Joint Sprain injured his shoulder on the last drive of Week 9. Missed 4 games Dec 9, 2020: Thigh Glute Strain Week 14. Missed 4 games. Sep 23, 2021: Thigh Hamstring Strain Grade 2 suffered a strained hamstring in Week 3. Missed five games. Nov 28, 2021: Pedal Ankle Sprain Grade 2 rolled his left ankle in Week 12. Placed on injured reserve. Ruled out for the remainder of the season. No doubt he'd be a risk, even in the slot. I mean is it just bad luck the last two years or can his body just not hold up to the physicality of the game? But, I'd still be willing to take a gamble on him at either position (RB or slot WR). He's still young. And as has been said, he wouldn't have to carry the load in Buffalo---at RB, he and Devin could be a great one-two punch; at slot, less hits, other great WRs to share the load. And we are pretty darn good without him, so if we lose him for some time, we wouldn't be up a creek without a paddle...we obviously wouldn't be putting all of our eggs in the McCaffrey basket (as another team might). But with him healthy, the Bills offense could be generational. If Car is willing to part with him, I'd say take a shot and then use him as a swiss army knife, in multiple roles. And it's not just that the Bills have better training facilities, it's that the Bills have a great training staff (strength and conditioning, nutrition, etc., etc.). The Bills have been one of the least injured teams under McDermott's staff/tenure. So, maybe they could help to make a difference in the health department.

As we all know, Josh and Kyle know each other from working together with Jordan Palmer. Kyle Allen was born in 1996, grew up in Scottsdale, Arizona, played two years at Texas A&M (2014, 2015) Christian Kirk was born in 1996; grew up in Scottsdale, AZ; played for a rival high school to K. Allen; was a teammate of K. Allen at Texas A&M (2015) So, the connections for them all hanging out makes sense. But what the purpose was---just mutual friends hanging out or recruitment meeting---is anyone's guess.

Completely agree, though I might change #5. Of course you can't blame Farwell for signing Haack, that's on Beane. He might have a bit of blame if he recommended him, but still on Beane. But, from the blocked punt in week 1, every fan could see that Haack's punt motion was either too slow or he wasn't standing back far enough. I started to hold my breath on every punt. And it never seemed to improve. Seems like there should have been some coaching that could have helped there. We're lucky more punts weren't blocked during the season. And McBeane probably also hold the second Jets game against Heath. It's been a long time since I've seen such poor punting. Haack shanked 2-3 punts and muffed a snap leading to an 8-yard punt. Yes, the wind was bad, but isn't that when you coach up your punter to handle it differently, do something different to combat the wind. I'm no special teams coach, but maybe line drive them instead of pop them up, etc. Also, it's on the coach to not let the guy go into funk, be stuck in his head about the last bad play. And don't forget that McKenzie muffed one punt and made a dangerous play picking up a punt surrounded by defenders in that game too. He didn't lose either luckily, but bad day overall for Heath's group.

In Rochester, in the '80s, we had Ranger Bob...

It's funny that one of the most exciting NFL postseasons ever has produced one of the most lackluster Super Bowl matchups ever. But if the Bills couldn't get there, I'd rather this matchup than any that included KC, Tampa, GB, SF. And, who knows, maybe Burrow/Chase/Mixon and Stafford/Kupp/Donald/OBJ will continue this exciting postseason and give us another great game. There is still a lot of elite talent in this game, so it could be fun. I don't think the winner will truly be the best team in the league this year, but hey, hats off to anyone who can run the gauntlet and win a SB. We all know that ain't easy. P.S. And I'm sure the league would be very happy with a win for Los Angeles.

Everything contributed to the KC loss, the bad decision before the half, thinking they already won up 21 (remember the Oilers?), the lack of emotional and physical reserves after playing the Bills in that epic last week, over-confidence/arrogance. But, I agree with the bold statement above. Watching the game in real time as Romo was talking about them trying to use up the clock, I was saying to myself, that's a mistake, just get the TD (not that I wanted them to win, just thinking what I would do in that situation). Rather than focusing on just scoring the TD, they tried to score with as little time left as possible, wasting downs to run the clock down on that last series of regulation (I think that decision was directly due to Josh Allen and the Bills last week and the last time they played the Bengals). But, in their arrogance, they assumed they could score on any one play from the 5 (or wherever). So rather than having multiple shots at a winning TD, they basically gave themselves only one real chance...and then failed. It was like it was a combination of arrogance and fear at the same time. Not a good combination.

That's if he can find a decent hotel in Buffalo first.

I don't know if Jerry is a miserable SOB in real life or just writes like one because he thinks that keeps his career going/brings readers. But either way, what a miserable existence it must be to never see any positives and always be tearing others down. I haven't read anything he has written in years, because you know exactly what you are going to get. He isn't some unbiased, realistic analyst. He has a big ego, a bad relationship with the team, and is going to be negative 95% of the time (whether warranted or not).

That is honestly just unreal; unheard of in the playoffs [for reference, KC went 11 TDs on 23 possessions (48%) in this postseason, which is damn good in itself]. A 75% TD rate in the red zone would be phenomenal, but that's a 75% TD rate on all possessions.🤯 We didn't win a Super Bowl (yet), but come on guys, what a fun ride this season has been...and there is only more to come with Josh.

No shame in this loss. The boys played their hearts out in what, in my opinion, is one of the best (maybe top 3) playoff games I've seen in my 45 years of watching NFL football (Dolphins/Chargers '82; the Comeback). It's one of those games that it is a shame anyone had to lose. I love the meme of "Cancelling the playoffs and having a best of seven series between Buffalo and KC for the Super Bowl." Once each of these teams (Buf/KC) learned to combat the cover/shell defenses this year, Allen's and Mahomes' games both went up a level. These offenses are at historic levels with these two guys. Look at what each of these offenses did down the stretch and in the playoffs. So, you have to realize that both defenses were completely gassed by the fourth quarter. They held each other to 14 points at the half, but by the end of the third quarter, each offense started to impose its will on the opposing, tired defense. Sure I wanted more out of our defense, but Patrick Mahomes and that offense are just special. It's not like we were playing a bunch of scrubs. You can blame the defense, or the coaching, or whatever. But that's how these games go. One more play...by anyone at any time and it goes the other way. It's tough to swallow. If the coin came up tails and we got the ball first in OT, etc., etc. But just think, about six weeks ago many on this board thought the season was over. New England is back and have the lead in the AFC East. This sucks. Then we got to watch the Bills find their Mojo, rattle off five straight victories, win the AFC East, trash the Patriots in the playoffs with a perfect game, and watch Josh Allen ascend to undoubtable legend in one of the greatest playoff games ever. It's painful now, but let's not forget how fun the ride has been. And it's not over...we have Josh Allen! All year, this has felt like the 1989 season, including now a loss in the divisional round. Big things are still to come...keep the faith! And Go Bills! "Fight on, my men," says Sir Andrew Barton, "I am hurt, but I am not slain; I'll lay me down and bleed a while, And then I'll rise and fight again.

Great article with gifs to really dissect some of the run plays. The Bills finally figured out what they do best in the run game. Pulling, misdirection, etc. Using Bates and Gilliam as the hammers...just awesome. Those two guys have made a big difference. And Daboll is dialing it up now. Some of the formations are very interesting. On the 3rd-and-1 Singletary conversion, this is what the line looks like (from left to right): Knox, Bates, Morse, Williams, Brown, Dawkins, Doyle. Knox slides off the line to the left (taking his man out of the play), Bates pulls to the right, Morse and Williams seal the left side (basically, Morse is now your left tackle), Gilliam comes from the backfield to seal the right side, with Brown, Dawkins, and Doyle at the point of attack. The play is for Singletary to run between Dawkins and Doyle or Doyle and Gilliam, but not before a pulling Bates crashes through the hole first. Singletary rides up behind Doyle, Bates, and Gilliam for an easy first down. So, basically, you have 5 Tackles at the point of attack (yes, Bates and Williams are both playing Guard in traditional sets, but really, the first position for both of them in their careers has been Tackle), Dawkins and Spencer Brown (your LT and RT in traditional sets) are lined up next to each other, and then you basically have Morse playing left tackle. Very creative...using our players to their strengths.👍

Great post as always Virgil! Loved the shout out for Reggie. To the KC play, did anyone else think that should have been a foul on the KC O-Lineman? That's what I thought in real time watching the game. I mean if that was a receiver vs. a DB, and a yard or two off the ball, the receiver just grabs the DB's shoulder pads and throws him to the ground, wouldn't that be a penalty? If not, why don't receivers/TEs try that more often. It's kind of like tackling a man without the ball. Am I wrong here? Everyone seems to be ok with that play for some reason.

I keep hearing this theory/rumor that Josh can't put together back-to-back good games, he lacks consistency, etc. Last season, the Bills won their last six games and then two playoff games in a row. So, they won eight games in a row. Only one of those eight games (the bad weather playoff game vs. Baltimore) did the Bills score less than 26 points. That stretch included games of 56, 48, 38, 34, 27, 27, 26, and 17 (vs. the Ravens). Here is a six-game stretch (in a row) of stats from Josh last year (last 5 regular season games and WC playoff game) Pass Yds Rush Yds TDs INTs Points/Game score 375 11 4 0 34-24 238 28 2 1 26-15 359 33 4 0 48-19 320 35 4 0 38-9 224 3 3 1 56-26 324 54 3 0 27-24 I don't know 392 total yards with 4 TDs and no picks followed up by 355 total yards with 4 TDs and no picks seems like two pretty good back-to-back games to me. There wasn't a lack of consistency down the stretch last year. I think media heads (and now some fans) are taking the up-and-down year that the Bills as a team have had in 2021 and putting that all on Josh. Then just looking at the recent Atlanta/Carolina games and putting two-and-two together, but unfortunately coming up with the wrong answer. If you look at just that stretch: Tampa (great Josh in 2nd half), Carolina (bad Josh), 2nd NE game (great Josh), Atlanta (bad Josh). So, yes, over that 4-game stretch, Josh was up-and-down/inconsistent. But when you weigh in the full season (and Josh's career as a whole), those are two bad games, not some overall pattern that defines Josh. Are you telling me that Rodgers, Mahomes, even Brady hasn't ever had a 2 bad games in a 4 game stretch in their careers? Does that mean they are overall inconsistent? People are still just grasping at straws to prove to themselves that Josh isn't really that good (because they originally thought he'd be trash). And as to the overall ups and downs of the Bills season, they are never looking at context. They are not weighing in the offensive line issues all season until late, the team having to find its new identity, everyone gunning for us this year, defenses catching up to what we did last year, etc., etc. Did not Patrick Mahomes go through many of the same issues earlier this year as well? This year's Bills team had trouble stringing wins together at points this year, but it wasn't always and solely because Josh was having a bad game. And, having said that, the Bills and Josh still strung together 4 big games in a row early this season and now five games in a row to get to where they are now (even though there were a couple of down passing games for Josh in this last stretch). In the early-season stretch, the Bills scored 35, 43, 40, 38. Josh had games of 367 yds 5 TD no INTs; 289 yds 2 TDs 1 INT; 374 yds 4 TDs no INTs; and followed that up with a 379 yds 3 TDs 1 INT performance in the loss to the Titans (but I guess because it's a loss, it doesn't count and means Josh is inconsistent). This year (2021-2022): How many games was Josh's pass % under 65%= 8 games; how about Pat Mahomes? 8 games under 65% pass% How many games did each throw for under 260 yards? Josh 9 times, Pat 8 times How many games did each throw for less than 200 yards? Josh 3 times, Pat twice How many games were they held without a TD? Josh once; Pat twice How many games did they have 2 or less TDs? Josh 9 games; Pat 10 games And let's also weigh in that Josh's worst passing game (vs. Atlanta) also included him rushing for 81 yards and 2 TDs for a win. So, even on an off day, we still have a chance with our defense and Josh's legs/competitive nature. Like I said, pundits are just grasping at straws. I think the inconsistent Josh is a fallacious argument based on looking at one small stretch of games. One last comparison, here is a stretch of games for Patrick Mahomes from earlier this season. Couldn't you, looking at only those games, say Mahomes is inconsistent and can't put together back-to-back good games? @WAS 397 yds 2 TD 2INT @TEN 206 yds 0 TD 1 INT NYG 275 yds 1 TD 1 INT GNB 166 yds 1 TD 0 INT @LVR 406 yds 5 TDs 0 INT DAL 260 yds 0 TD 1 INT DEN 184 yds 1 TD 1 INT

The good news is that the Bills have played at Arrowhead twice in the last year, so they know what to expect, how loud it will be, there won't be an intimidation factor, etc.

So, if we beat KC and Cincy can beat the Titans, the Bills could still host the AFC Championship game. Bills/KC becoming a major AFC rivalry. Should be a great game!

And Jim rocking the Allen jersey. Just awesome!

Watched that like 20 times in a row. Love it! Love Thurman! 🕺😂 I was watching everyone's reactions in the background. Ha...priceless. Anyone else catch who all is there...Jim, Thurman, Bruce, Daryl, Kyle Brandt and his wife (in the back). Looked like there might have been a couple of other former players.

How can you not love FITZ!!! He will always have a home in Buffalo!!! A true blue Bill through and through...however short his time was here!

I voted that I would like Daboll to stay. Feel the same about Frazier. There is a lot of power in continuity...and really, how much can we complain about the results over the last few years. They are both excellent coaches. Their players love them and fight hard for them. But, if they want HC gigs, I hope they get those opportunities. On the other hand, I wouldn't be too worried if they left either at this point. This is now a mature team, who have soaked up Daboll's and Frazier's lessons for the last 4-5 years. I think they'd be ok learning and growing with a new staff (although there might be a break-in period). But, Sean knows what he wants on defense and will be able to find the right person to implement that. And there are plenty of good OCs out there that could work with the talent on this team. Sean just has to be careful to hire a guy that not only is good, but that can develop a good chemistry with the team---and will let Josh be Josh. I am curious though why so many people think Ken Dorsey will either be offered the Bills OC job if Daboll leaves or be poached by Frazier to be his OC if he leaves? Do we really know enough about him (other than his playing career) to assume he would be offered those jobs or be ready to take that next step? Not knocking the guy, just wondering why so many posters seem so sure that he is ready/will be good?
