This is truly an amazing post. The Cardinals HC gets fired and it makes the OP worried about McDermott. 

 

So you have no thoughts regarding McDermott's judgement of the offensive side of the ball. When someone is 0-3 in judgement, I throw up red flags.

[fridge]

The overall message of the OP, that McDermott and co are inept at judging the offensive side of the ball seems to be pretty accurate.  I worry that they're someone fearful of innovative offenses, particularly because they like to stick to what they know.  Nothing about the Bills offense, under either of the last two OC's could be described as innovative.

When you look things over the Buffalo Bills passing offense is actually way worse then the Cardinals and if you go by QBs, Peterman is as bad as Rosen, if not worse. 

 

The credit goes to Josh Allen for not turning the ball over more and not the OC because Peterman is a turnover machine. 

 

Right now Buffalo is the 32nd team in the NFL in total offense, 32nd in first downs, 32nd in passing, 18th in rushing but that is because McCoy is so special. Chris Ivory has a 2.5 YPC avg. Allen has a 4.4 YPC avg. LeSean McCoy is 30th in rushing yards with a 4.0 YPC avg and Shady should be a top five rusher except that the Bills OC didn't call his number very often in the first few games. 

 

Going back to the numbers Buffalo is 32nd in receiving. 

 

If the only QB on the roster was Nathanial Peterman I think Daboll would also have been fired by now!

Fire OC Daboll, and line coach Juan Castillo and replace the OC with Terry Robiskie the WR coach, replace the line coach with assistant line coach Andrew Dees. These men couldn't do much worse.

 

This is results oriented business and having the very worst results should have consequences.

Because the said OC was the #1 choice of our HC. This topic is about McDermott's ability to make intelligent decisions on the offensive side of the ball.

 

Here's our case history:

#1 - wants Mike McCoy as his OC - is turned down. (McCoy sh*ts the bed in Arizona and is fired)

#2 - hires Rico Dennison

#3 - passes on Patrick Mahomes

#4 - lets Goodwin, Woods, Watkins walk- drafts Zay Jones.

#5 - has a roster with 2 FB's ( DiMarco and Tolbert) and no dominant run game

#6 - goes into the season with Tyrod and Peterman

#7 - starts Peterman in playoff race- He throws 5 INT in ONE HALF- benched.

#8 - brings in Kelvin Benjamin as the WR savior

#9 - scores 3 points in a playoff game.

#10 - fires Rico, hires Dab

#11- loses 3 OL, brings in Newhouse, Bodine - starts Miller, Groy and Ducasse

#12 - fills WR needs with Foster, McCloud, Proehl, cuts Streater, keeps Holmes

#13 - brings in McCarron as his shiny new QB, passes on Bridgewater.

#14- ships McCarron out for a 5th

#15- starts Peterman a second time and gets his ass spanked 47-3

#16- forced to start his rookie and does not prepare for a backup plan in case of emergency.

#17-finds his QB in Derek Anderson who hasn't played in a meaningful game in 7 years.

 

And I am sure other posters can add to this growing list. This topic is meant to discuss whether we believe McDermott is capable of making any decisions that will lead to improvement on the offensive side of the ball. So far the offense has regressed into a shell of an already weak unit. 

With cap space and draft picks next year can we even trust that this FO can make the right moves.

Last time I checked, Brandon Beane was the GM so he’s responsible for bringing in players. 

 

Also, it’s clear that the team is focuses on three things up to this point:

 

1) get the best QB you can in the draft in 2018

2) get rid bad contracts and accumulate draft picks

3) improve the defense

 

now, you may not agree with the approach and that’s fine, but it’s obvious that’s the plan. They probably figured they team was closer to having an elite defense than offense so they focused on that. Or they thought there was better defensive talent in FA and the draft this year. 

 

I dont really know, but at least I get it. People should try to understand. It makes watching this year much more palatable.

I’m sure they could have done more within the constraints of their plan to be better on offense this year. But it really doesn’t matter if at the end of the year they are 32 on offense or 22.  

 

If they do nothing in this offseason to markedly improve the offense, then yes, I’ll be upset. But to get so upset that you get triggered when the HC of the cardinals gets fired and try to claim it’s proof that McDermott is a failure is laughable.  It’s the kind of drivel that’s making this board more unpalatable than the bills offense.

Being #32 or #22 could be the difference in ending up 6-10, 7-9 or finishing 9-7, 10-6.   A functional offense makes us 3-3, possibly 4-2 right now.  A functional offense in tight games wins field position battles, keeps the defense from wearing out in the 4th, gives your top kicker a chance to win games. . The #22 offense right now is the Chicago Bears.  Give us the Bears offense and our D and we are keeping the streak of playoff appearances alive and challenging for the AFC East.   Give us the #32 offense and we are talking about a top 5 pick. 

 

Sorry man, but that is a huge difference moving up 10 spots on O.   Plus having the #22 offense would keep most of us relatively content with the "process" moving in the right direction.

Things would be much calmer around here if everyone would realize this isn't going to be a good year for them. The Bills need to clear cap space and right now they are playing with little to no talent at WR and OL. Doesn't matter who the OC was going to be they just don't have the talent on that side of the ball to compete. 

 

The Bills are going to have cap space at the end of the year and will be able to address some issues in FA and they will have good draft capital to move around the board and get the players they want. 

The big ? is do they know how to draft talent on the offensive side of the ball. We can see a dominant defense being built and that's awesome. Now will they make the right moves and actually get our offense to be at least competent. O line and WR's can be difficult to draft and sometimes you get great value outside of the first rd and get huge busts in the first. Free agency can be a slippery slope and you can easily over pay. 

 

Nothing in our front offices track record so far has shown they know how to stack offensive personnel and that needs to be addressed heavily this offseason.

Um we traded Watkins before he could walk on us. None of the three had any interest in signing with TT as QB.  Way to twist things though.

With the exception of the Watkins error and #’s 7 and 8 in the incorrect order, the list is a fairly accurate assessment. I don’t think the OP was trying to twist anything, just a couple of mistakes. There might not have been a reasonable way to retain Woods ( and Goodwin had yet to dedicate himself to football) but there was a way to keep SW in the fold. 

[GreggTX]

Somehow, people have missed the most important point. We're rebuilding. Also, I'm happy for Woods and Goodwin, but they weren't worth crap when they played here. They're pretty good now, but still not probowl worthy. Perhaps you'd like Whaley back too.  Be patient. They've put a decent defense together and will have a ton of cap space and draft picks coming up. I agree they made some mistakes, but every GM has hits and misses. You also left out the end of the 17 year skid mark laid by so many others.

This is the point of the post. Even with cap space and picks do we trust this group to bring in the right people on offense. So far, the only mild hit is Ivory and that's a stretch.

Woods wasn't that bad when he was here, at least he got open and caught the ball.  Goodwin hardly played, so yeah, he wasn't worth much.

The Peter Principle simply states that people who show competency will be promoted until they’re at a level where they’re incompetent. Think Michael Scott.

 

I was referring more to coaches who are inflexible in their schemes or are only good with certain types of people. Coaches who can recruit (sell!) and are good at leading college kids but can’t effectively coach grown men (some of whom make more money than them) is a good example.

 

McCoy might just need to be under the right kind of head coach to thrive. As a head coach he sure fit the Peter Principle rule well though.

Isn't part of the OC's job to evaluate the talent available to his offense?  How can an experienced offensive coordinator NOT recognize that Nate Peterman's very serious physical limitations make him a questionable backup for even the most experienced, durable QB playing behind a great OL, much less for a team without even a solid OL, a non-NFL caliber WR corps, and an anemic running game?  How can a competent OC name Peterman the starter at the beginning of the season when his teammates are not behind him?  How could Daboll not "feel" that the team wasn't behind Peterson despite his supposedly good preseason showing?  If Daboll is responsible for these decisions, then he's incompetent to be a NFL OC.  If Daboll's opinion on offensive players' talent and likelihood for success is being trumped by McDermott or somebody else in the Bills FO, this team is so dysfunctional that bringing in another OC -- if anyone would be desperate enough to take the position -- would be useless.

Excuse me, but the lack of NFL caliber players on the OL and in the WR corps is NOT something that McDermott and Beane inherited.   They made the decisions that resulted in the hot mess they have in both units.  They gutted the competent WR corps (Watkins, Woods, Goodwin) they inherited in 2017 and replaced them with trash.  The OL wasn't great in 2017, and then they lost Wood and Incognito to retirement, and replaced them with career backups and bottom-feeder FAs.  Then they traded away Glenn.  That was all before the draft -- a draft that after taking Allen at #7, they didn't bother to draft another offensive player until almost the end of the fifth round despite the desperate need for improvement on the offensive side.  No team can expect to build a decent offense using primarily sixth and seventh round and UDFA OLers and WRs.

The expectations were always to rebuild? We were never supposed to make the playoffs, and we lucked into it more so thanks to Dalton. Then we show up in the wildcard game and can't even score a TD in a 10-3 loss, in what was otherwise a dominant defensive performance and very winnable game? Not going to build off anything with an offense like that. You might be able to "use the momentum" though, but any building off that team would've led to priced out and aged out players and larger cap issues.

 

If you looked at the roster as well, there was very little future talent that wouldn't otherwise be off the team in 2-3 years time. McBeane was always hired for a rebuild, and most new regimes will always build out their new team. Just because we made the playoffs last year doesn't mean anything, Beane even said as much.

 

The excuse this year? There is none, we just have a deplorable offense due to a lot of factors, but this is otherwise expected in a rebuild (especially with this current roster), and is actually more of what was supposed to happen last year until our defense started playing lights out. It's not an excuse so much as it is reality. You can start warming seats once they bring in an actual offense and try to win with those decisions.

 

When do you think that will happen? I'm not optimistic that it will happen any time soon because McDermott doesn't value offense, and he's in charge of personnel decisions.  More distressing is that in the last two drafts, the Bills have seemed to  fixate on particular prospects and be willing to give up too much to get those particular players.  In 2017 and 2018 the Bills got relatively little for the draft capital that they had because they traded up several times.   The success of high draft picks (rounds 1-3) is too iffy too often to make trading up frequently a good strategy.

McDermott is in charge of personnel.  He reports to the Pegulas, as does Beane, but McDermott makes the personnel decisions, and Beane simply sees to it.  It's similar to the way that the Bills have operated since 2006 when Russ Brandon took over the team.  Levy was a figurehead GM in Jauron's first two years, then Jauron ran the team until 2009 when Buddy Nix came in to oversee scouting apparently.   Nix had a more traditional GM role as he hired Chan Gailey but Gailey was more interested in coaching than selecting personnel.  In 2013, Whaley became GM with shared personnel responsibility with the HC.  It lead to issues with Marrone, and may have led to some issues with Ryan.  The Pegulas changed the situation when they fired Whaley and turned personnel responsibility over to McDermott with Beane being the guy who works out the details.  Beane also has limited, if any, player personnel experience.  His role in personnel in Carolina was similar to that of your company's HR director rather than player evaluation.
