Should Dorsey come down to the sidelines?

[Buffalo Barbarian]

Im not a fan of Dorsey or his system but hes not going anywhere during the season. Matt Canada of the Steelers was made to come to the sidelines and their offense is doing better since he did. Our Offense should be spectacular but its misfiring like crazy, maybe if Dorsey comes down, the offense comes up by a score a game , which theoretically would make us undefeated.

Sure, can’t hurt. We have seen what he calls from the booth and I am not impressed. 

[CaptnCoke11]

Like the OC on the sidelines.  I don’t GM have a good reason but it just makes more sense to me.  Seems like a more efficient way to do it 

[LABILLBACKER]

If he can't recognize defensive formations from 100' up, he's sure as hell not going to do any better at ground level.  Who knows?

[RobbRiddick]

I'm willing to try anything at this point.  Could Dorsey's playcalling be improved by him wearing a pirate patch over 1 eye? Let's give it a go!

[SoonerBillsFan]

Neither, he should go home, then move on to some other team.

[Joe Ferguson]

Sideline, only if he becomes the teams waterboy.

[Donuts and Doritos]

How will it make any difference? 

[stosh64]

Could it be any worse?

Maybe he can actually communicate with Josh? Might prevent more tv shots of Joe Brady holding out an ipad and chattering away while Josh stares forwards into space.

[Hotdog water]

I think Dorsey should definitely come down from the booth and then exit the stadium, never to be seen again.  

[SectionC3]

I think the point is to get Dorsey further away from the sideline.  

[RunTheBall]

Oh boy, second only to the “players only meeting” is the “bring the coach out of the box” maneuver. We are in a potential wheels blowing off the bus territory now

[Since1981]

Booo. third poll option:

parking lot 

 

Doesn’t matter. He’s in Josh helmet all game

[JoPoy88]

It does not matter.

[Gugny]

He should come down to the sidelines … proceed to the locker room … pack all of his stuff … and go away forever.

So we'll see shots of Dorsey chucking iPads & screaming while Josh stares into space. Like Bill O'Brien & Mac Jones:

 

 

(All kidding aside, I get your point. How could it get worse, unless we see McD strangling Dorsey on the sideline)

FWIW, the did ask him about this possibility last week. His reply indicated he was very against the idea. 

[All_Pro_Bills]

Should they move the HC to the booth and turn off and unplug everything and lock the door? 

[PBF81]

Maybe Dorsey was never the right guy to begin with.  

 

Maybe McD won't hire the right guy because that guy would be a candidate to replace him. 

 

Simply because "Josh likes him," doesn't mean he's competent.  

 

That's the problem with this whole "culture" thing.  It's like a fraternity, but a fraternity in and of itself is not a good business model.  Competence is still needed.  Fraternities, aka "culture" in this case, translates to little more than blind loyalty.

I don’t think the booth IR the sidelines will determine anything, but moreso how he calls the offense, and I’m not impressed.  I can’t believe I’m writing this, but an Allen led offense is boring.  Dorsey has a lot to do with it.

 

Joe Marino made a good point as well as Orlovsky last week in the option routes like the one Allen was nabbed for intentional grounding makes them play slower.  Also, too much two by two on each side makes the Bills look predictable.

If McD can shake his Peterman-like insistence that Dorsey's doing a good job when he's not, then Dorsey will be back on the field as a QB coach somewhere else next season and won't have a choice.  

 

That's if McD even survives if he can't put up something better than a drought era losing record alongside a playoffs swing-and-a-miss with Allen at QB.  ... after candidly stating that he doesn't know how to coach his offense up.  

 

Let's see if we can even win tonight.  This should be a 14 point plus win.  

 

If not, ... LOL ...

doesn't matter where you coach from....it's how you coach

Only if he'd have a positive impact on Josh being there.

It might be the most interesting part of many Dorsey called games.  Unless you consider Dorsey getting pelted by more snowballs than the opposing bench. 🤔

[dgrochester55]

I didn't see a third option for couch.

 

Out of the two, I would say sideline.   Calling from the booth certainly isn't working, if they insists on sticking with him, at least see if he is more effective on the sidelines first.

what would be different? He will be calling the same plays

[Captain_Quint]

Maybe after the temper tantrums in the box, McD doesn't want him to lose it on the sidelines. 

[Gisele]

I think it would just make it awkward.  Now that Josh is planning on ignoring Dorsey's moronic play calling, having to face him after every touchdown would definitely put a strain on the relationship.

My thinking is the offense is highly predictable because of those option routes.  There’s very little scheming guys open. Instead Dorsey relies on players making correct reads and adjusting routes on the fly.  There’s a few problems if that is ..all.. the offense relies. 1. Defenses know what the offense is queuing in on, as well.  So it’s really easy to bait them into certain routes and formations, and then jump the route and get interceptions.  This, I suspect, is one of the reasons Josh has as many Ints as he does especially in the red zone. 
 

2. Also, with so few formations and routes, the Bills Offense is just too easy for defenses.  Hence, the better teams pretty much know exactly what is coming. 
 

I would suggest our defense has gotten similarly stale.   The good teams and QBs know exactly who is blitzing and how to attack the man combinations.   In short, McD and company have to mix things up… one way or another.

He’s much easier to hit w dildos on the sideline, get him down there.

[PauleeeWalnuts]

Yes he should come down to the sideline, keep walking through the tunnel, out of the stadium and then get in his car and go home.

You are mistaking me as arguing for Dorsey.   I would rather have him fired, but was making a choice out of the two options given in the poll.  I'm not really trying to turn this into a needless debate.

Not just Josh but the other skill players as well. From the booth, Dorsey is seeing the forest; he needs to get on the sideline and listen to the trees.

 

 

[ArdmoreRyno]

I used to be an OC for a high school team (went to two state finals)... best place for an OC is in the box so they can see the field. You can better see gap alignments, coverages, etc.

Normally that is my take. But I feel at the moment Josh needs stronger influences on the field. It might be worth a go?

[Nuncha]

When your OC is a Hoover, you need an "it doesn't matter" option because he will suck from the booth and suck from the sidelines.

I think it’s definitely worth a shot. I’d wanna try something different if my ass were on fire at work.

I replied sidelines, but it likely won’t make much difference, KD needs to change his MO and do it soon, 

 

GO BILLS!!!
