damj Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I have seasons ... I'll be out there tailgating every week and having fun, but I have no expectations of a playoff run anymore. I don't even expect to make the playoffs ... but I'm okay with that. At least I know I'll be free for a concert I want to see Wildcard weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba Gump Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I have seasons too and will be at the rest of the games. I don't expect any home playoff games this year, that's if the Bills even make the playoffs. But after many many years, this will be my last. Won't be able to afford the new stadium for one. And if Pegula keeps McD, that's a 100% no. If by some miracle, the Bills have a new HC by renew time, then maybe I'll think about 1 more year. But that looks quite doubtful. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damj Posted November 6, 2023 Author Share Posted November 6, 2023 The struggling offense, so you think it's McDermott or Dorsey? Personally, I blame McDermott. I have no idea if Dorsey is good enough... but I think McDermott keeper hammering to Doresy to play conservative.... McDermott tried that with Dorsey, but he had enough balls to ignore McDermott and run the offense to Josh's strengths. Now, I think McDermott drills into Dorsey and Josh's head to not make a mistake, stay in the pocket, don't and don't improvise which is what Josh excels at. By the 4th quarter when we're down by 2 scores, they take the reins off and let Josh play his game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I still expect a wild card. I believe there’s enough talent in offense, and enough veterans who have been here for years to clean up enough of the execution issues to get into the playoffs. Dorsey can go. But the core of the offense is the same. Dorsey is reasonably similar to Daboll. But the guys have to be better too. They aren’t a young team anymore.

saundena Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 (edited) I would fire Dorsey tomorrow because we are definitely regressing under his stewardship on O. McDermott's seat needs to start getting warm. If we collapse down the stretch I then I'd say bye bye. If we look competent down the stretch then give him another season. Something is rotting this team from the inside out and it started in the 2nd half of the GB game last year.

LABILLBACKER Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 McDermott hired everyone. He hired Farwell who he fired. He hired Frazier who he fired. And I guarantee you he'll fire Dorsey to save his ass again. Do you see a pattern here. McDermott is the problem. Get a offensive HC in here ( Ben Johnson) and try to salvage Josh's 2nd half of his career. 1 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and me both brother. And the saddest part of everything is, the Bills might be total trash when that new stadium opens. That will lose a lot more STH. Sure, the first year might be okay, just because it's a nice new shiny building. But if the team stinks, Pegula is gonna be wondering where he went wrong. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warcodered Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 (edited) Why the ***** would McDermott care about Dorsey playcalling aggressive?

Billsfanatic8989 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 (edited) Massive offensive drop off from Daboll to Dorsey. At this point, the OC needs to go. As in tomorrow.

TFBillsfan Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 McDermott is the HEAD COACH and not the DC only. That post gamer presser was embarrassing. He could talk in-depth about the D but had no answers why they weren’t going more uptempo on offense or barely talked about the offense. It’s obvious he’s putting it all on Dorsey. IMO McDermott is regressing as a coach and him taking on the DC role is impacting the team. The reality is he has no answers on offense and one can only wonder was it like that with Daboll? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunsgoodtime Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 (edited) My pre season prediction was 10-7. I got blasted for it. Now, I think they will be lucky to go 9-8 missing the playoffs. If this is to happen, with Josh Allen as your teams qb and suitable players around him (Diggs,Kincaid) the coaching staff should be fired immediately. In no circumstances that a Josh Allen lead team with a top defense year out not make the playoffs.

Punch Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Dorsey is a creative play designer, but he struggles with personnel and tone. Daboll was masterful with those elements, able to read the ebb and flow of his players' inner workings and mood. It isn't easy, but great coaches are more than Xs and Os. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t have a single coordinator left on this team from just two years again when we were 13 seconds away from the AFCCG. New Offensive Coordinator, Defensive Coordinator, ST coach, WR coach, O-Line coach, QB coach… Thats a lot of turnover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I think McDermott is the problem. That's probably why there's bad blood with him and Daboll. McDermott wanted a wimpy boring offense and Daboll just did whatever he wanted. And it worked and everyone loved it, which probably hurt McDermott's pride. Then his beloved defense blew the 13 seconds game. Obviously everyone on the team was aware of the tension and I'll bet many sided with Daboll. His side of the ball was rolling. Now Dorsey is just some guy that Josh hoped would be Daboll but McDermott can control him so it's bland vanilla offense 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
