I like this, better now.  If the team still looks lethargic, then there is only one reason: McD.  I figured McD would keep him around to make him the "fall guy" at the end of the season.  

Well no more excuses for McD, either Brady saves him, or we clean house 

[BuffaloRebound]

The offense has to roll teams so McDermott can’t crap his pants at end of close games

Good it happened now  Now one less excuse for McDermott  

Matt Smiley is next

YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

 

WORTH THE LOSS!  

[UKBillFan]

Here's a question - would Dorsey have been sacked if the Bills had won yesterday? If McDermott hadn't called a time out and still overseen 12 men on the field? Or even his coached defense allowing the Broncos within FG range to start with?

[LarryMadman]

McDummie is a dumb football coach but he certainly understand self preservation. Hopefully TPegs understands that it is deeper than just the coordinators.

Keep us posted

[boyst]

he's going to go be a QB coach somewhere for someone who needs him, i call Bryce Young in Carolina.

[The Firebaugh Kid]

Thank you Jesus 

[phypon]

McD running out of people to throw under the bus.  Tick, tick, tick...

[BearNorth]

Smiley has cost us a couple as well. Last night between the returns that flipped field position and the 12 man fiasco, Jets game punt return didn't cover him with glory either.

Should have canned McClappy too, obviously. Dorsey is the scapegoat. He didn’t drop balls or throw INTs or fumble the ball. X4

True, he just didn't put the offense in any kind of position to beat a terrible broncos team, a terrible pats team, a terrible jets team, a beatable Bengals team and a beatable jags team.

Wow is right, Dorsey must have been put on notice some weeks ago to right his ship or he is gone, good move imo.

Probably not.

if i see a more purposeful O with lots of under center, i'm buying in.

 

im a fool and a glutton for punishment.  i'm dejected and hopeful at the same time.

 

My name is Colin, and I'm a Bills fan.

Hi Colin....Thanks for sharing!  Anyone else want to share?

[Virgil]

Fired him after the one game Dorsey wasn’t the problem?   
 

This should be a fun offseason

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

At least re yesterday, the problems were with execution not really the coaching on the O side. We had 3 fumbles, 2 picks, 1 near pick, and like 5

drops. 

[ndirish1978]

Dorsey firing unfortunately might buy McDermott another year. 

[What a Tuel]

Dorsey gets fired bc:

 

1: Cook cant hold onto the ball

2: Davis cant hold onto the ball.

3: Josh throws into double coverage

4: Josh drops a handoff on the ground

5: Def (which was stellar) commits PI at end of game

6: Def (which was stellar) has 12 men on the field.

 

Sounds like players arent executing to me.

[Baba Booey]

Keep going, right up the ladder!!! McDermott please!!!

Frasier ✔️

Dorsey ✔️

McDermott 

[Logic]

Good. At least SOMETHING good came from this loss.

I defended Dorsey for a long time, but it became wildly clear over the past few weeks that he needed to go.

He just didn't have a feel for game flow, sequencing, or logical play-calling AT ALL. Last night was the final straw.

Now the Bills have a seven game audition for Joe Brady, and then hopefully they hire a bright, young, innovative OC in the offseason, since I doubt McD is getting the ax.

[May Day 10]

You wonder if McDermott took him out to the woodshed.... or if this move was forced/pressured by ownership

[Bill51390]

McDermott is coaching for his job. Dorsey was gonna make that decision to fire McDermott easy. Had to make a change asap to try and save his ass.

Absolutely. Just like it will be worth a 6-11 season if McD goes as well. 

[GunnerBill]

It had to happen. The DC should step down too. 

 

I am fine McDermott coaching out the season as a Head Coach and taking a view then, I feel he probably deserves that. But he should swallow his pride on the DC thing. It hasn't worked. He should hand over playcalling.

[Returntoglory]

When your star offensive player ( Diggs) is not getting the ball, that's a HUGE problem!

really, a move that should have happened weeks ago.  Eeeking out past the Giants, etc. is not going to cut it.  Now we are outside looking in on a playoff spot.  The mediocracy that surrounds the FO is stunning.  

[CEN-CAL17]

Tough decision but it’s the right one…. Unfortunately I think McDermott times should be over as well. Thanks for what you’ve done but it’s time to go a different route

If you don’t think he was the problem you aren’t watching games, sorry.

Utterly no point in sacking Dorsey unless McDermott follows him.

that not really true,  he was horrible as OC gotta start somewhere.
