hondo in seattle Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 McDermott is a very good coach. Too many people demand that he win a championship with a non-championship roster. As much as I like McD, I do blame him for the Cinci loss. The team was not psychologically, emotionally, or schematically ready for that game. Beane hit a homerun with Josh but has been mediocre outside of that. I like Von Miller but don't like his contract. We can't afford a good WR#2, MLB or OL because we've got too much cap space tied up in other players. Given the crushing reality of our cap situation, I'm not looking for Beane to sign another free agent WR (dhop) or RB. What we have is good enough under the circumstances. (Though if he could swing a deal for a good WR at a dollar store price, I'd be thrilled!). I'd be happy if we drafted offensive linemen with our first three picks. Or maybe 2 of the 3 - we still need a MLB. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBuffalo Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Running the ball needs to be prioritized over pass protection. Edmunds hid a lot of glaring issues with the defense that will be felt for the next 2 seasons. Daboll leaving cost Josh Allen the MVP and possibly the Bills a Championship.

MWK Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) When we fail in the playoffs again this season, McDermott will scapegoat Dorsey and hire a DC from outside. When we fail again the next season, McDermott will get fired and we will replace him with some other defensive coach. Beane will go too.

Another Fan Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Me understands Josh could use more help with the O-Line, RB situation, and at times WR's but sometimes it seems he's above any kind of critiquing of his play. All one would have to do is watch Kurt Warner's Study Ball of The Bengals playoff game to show sometimes Josh doesn't read the field the best at times. I realize you can't compare Josh to any of the Bills QB's of the last 20 years but that fumble at the goal line against the Vikings was brutal. If that was any other Bills QB of the last 20 years including Fitz that lost the game like that that would have gotten very very ugly for their sake. Now I realize Josh puts a lot of pressure on himself to be the best and is conscientious of his play.... but at the same time he is being compensated to be an elite QB in this league. So no I have no qualms criticizing/critiquing his play when necessary 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunTheBall Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) 1) IDK if this is unpopular but Dorsey’s inability to adjust the offense to the adjustments defenses made against us after the first 1/3rd of the season is the biggest reason we struggled up until tanking in the playoffs 2) Kim Pegula’s health issue had no impact with the on-field performance. Same as the Top’s shooting. Hamlin’s issue had a severe negative impact on the team even with his miraculous recovery 3) Josh’s decision making was very poor in 2022 culminating in the playoff loss. His lack of faith in the O-line was the main reason 4) Beane and McD have no hot seat. There is little pressure from above.

SirAndrew Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Von Miller’s best years are behind him, and staying healthy will be an issue. I wouldn’t mind seeing a Hopkins trade, but I have the same concerns with him. Another unpopular opinion, we draft terribly. I’d rather be capable of drafting guys who can actually help over signing thirty somethings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I'd argue that Reid also isn't a wunderkind. He got where he is by accumulating knowledge and gaining wisdom, and that's exactly what McD is doing. McDermott will continue to improve because that his core principle - the growth mindset. It's true that Andy Reid for many years wore the label of "not being able to win the big one." I am hopeful that McDermott continues to grow. 44 minutes ago, Matt_In_NH said: Josh Allen improving decision making would help them a lot more that trading for Deandre Hopkins. Josh's decision making last year did regress and I put a lot of that on Dorsey. Part of the OCs job is to set clear parameters for play and reign in hero ball tendencies. Daboll did this better than Dorsey, IMO. Edited March 25, 2023 by Sierra Foothills 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addison & Murphy. Who knows WTH they were doing at DT. Beasley wasn't that washed, and they kicked him to the curb regardless. They could have negotiated him down at some point, they didn't even try until it became absurdly desperate. And funny how "Beasley's washed" but so many want OBJ.

folz Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Unpopular opinions? 1. McDermott and Beane have done an amazing job turning this franchise around and are the right people to continue leading this team. 2. Gabe Davis was not the reason for last year's failures and is better than most give him credit for. 3. All of the on- and off-field turmoil/adversity last year did affect the team's ability to make a SB run. 4. It is not a given that the Bengals would have won the regular season matchup (the game where Damar went down). 5. We are not clearly inferior to KC and Cincy. Flame away. 🔥 😊 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
