yungmack Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Read this today in the LA Times. His comments on coaching, on how the offense was changed and how Goff, a seeming flop, has turned his career around. It almost seemed like he was diagnosing what's wrong with the Bills and how OBD should proceed to turn things around. http://www.latimes.com/sports/nfl/la-sp-nfl-week-13-farmer-20171127-story.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly would OBD proceed to do? Fire their coach of one year? What I took from it is Eric Dickerson thinks a lot of himself. He gives himself a bit too much credit in my opinion and comes off as a tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really not that hard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really not that hard. He has. He has made is the grade school offense Dickerson was critical of in LA it can get any simpler since TT has been the starting QB of the Bills they have run the simplest offense in the NFL. But hey i also noticed he didnt audible yet again and McD confirmed as much Edited November 28, 2017 by MAJBobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just taking the Rams Offensive turnaround as an example, it seems like the Rams would have been better off firing Fisher at least a year earlier than they did, and many critics say he should have been fired before that. In other words, if the guy isn't the right fit, keeping him around another two, three, four years and hoping things change is kind of nuts. So yes, if the Bills are serious about solving their QB situation, getting rid of McD and replacing him with an offense-minded HC might be the right decision to make. And if it is, it's better to do it sooner than later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA Grant Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 The offensive playcalling and philosophy for the Rams is refreshing. Would love to see a similar mindset here, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think that with McD Russ was not in the room and it was him and Whaley. One would suspect they contacted the league to use the committee input.

Really not that hard. We had that. His name was Greg Roman. Tyrod in that offense was still a middle of the road Quarterback. For all the handwringing over Dennison not maximising Tyrod's qualities he is producing at a rate entirely consistent with his first two years as a passer with a small drop off in his rushing effectiveness. The idea that there is some magic offensive coordinator out there who can turn Tyrod into a top flight quarterback is nonsensical. We heard it all about Alex Smith after his hot start "wow all this RPO stuff has allowed Alex Smith to take his game to the next level.... blah, blah blah". Smith has regressed to the mean. Tyrod is right at his mean. These guys are who we thought they were. Tyrod Taylor and Alex Smith don't have meltdowns where they throw a load of picks and lose their team the game. They also don't win enough games for their team on their own back. The Chiefs got off the pot last April and took their shot at something better. I continue to argue that the Bills should have done the same. They now must do that this year.... but their bungled handling of the Tyrod situation means they might not have him around as that bridge into next year.

McDermott hasn't even had one full season yet and we are sitting at 6-5, in the wild-card race, with a roster that is one of the worst in the NFL. You want to replace the coach that has gotten that much out of this little talent? I just don't see any parallels between the two teams because the Rams have a QB who is willing to throw the ball and make mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
