McDermott weird comments about Josh Allen

Get him another playmaker. 
 

We’ve stalled because we added Diggs in 2020 and stopped. 

As more comes out it would appear that McDummie isn't interested in more playmakers for the kind of offense he wants to run. That might explain why he rather invest more in the defense than the offense. The dude is toast! Black monday is approaching, see ya McDummie!

[Straight Hucklebuck]

Cook was benched from 14:51 in the 1st until his next touch at 7:10 in the second.

 

That’s 3 drives - the Gabe Davis dropped pass interception, and two quick punts.

This team lacks playmakers, and the scheme has not been cutting edge.

 

So Allen is having to play death by 1,000 papercuts offense and getting grilled relentlessly about turnovers from his coach and media. 
 

This franchise has spent their money on defense. 

 

Invest heavily in the offense and I think Allen comes back. 

 

Well, right there.  And this goes back to McBeane despite their apologists not wanting to see that. 

 

Can't understand why McD's not taking more heat for the lack of Allen's focus, development, preparation, etc.  If his choice for OCs can't do it, then he needs to personally step in.  This isn't D-III ball.  

 

It's impossible to sugarcoat anymore.  Any semblance of "winning culture" has been immolated by McD.  It's stunning that he hasn't lost the team yet.  Maybe he has, but if not, it's surprising.  

 

Either way, the last five years have been a clinic on if you're going to trade-up and draft a QB at 7th overall, you damn well better be prepared to stock him with an OL and some solid receiving options immediately after that to the best of your ability.  But no, not here.  We continue to pour resources into, and even repeatedly, into our defense.  SMH  

 

Here, McBeane treated the OL and receivers like an afterthought!  Shameful.  Many have been saying it for years, but now those chickens have finally come home to roost.  

 

 

[Process]

A QB spending 99% of his time on the sidelines speaking to nobody looking like a deer in headlights is what is bizarre. What McDermott is saying is what many here have been noticing for the past year and a half. 

 

Hopefully the change will help give Allen some confidence.

I am so done with McDummy.  The only scary part is TP and BB finding his replacement.

food for thought that I hadn't considered before today

 

in a battle of wills that would eventually decide who stays and who goes, could Allen potentially lose out to McDermott?

Allen wins. Unless there’s damning dirty laundry the org is covering up.

Every time McDummy opens his mouth, his words say "Here's another reason to fire my ass". Josh is unhappy because you made him that way, #######. 

 

So happy that many of your finally understand the situation and that this moron needed to go after 13 seconds because you simply don't come back from that and it's very possible it broke Josh Allen as well after playing the game of his career only to let horrendous coaching ***** defeat from the jaws of victory.

 

And speaking of Allen, it's likely going to be up to him to go directly to Terry Pegula and say that he needs to be fired (assuming Pegula doesn't care about the extension in the first place and will already be inclined to pull that trigger).

 

Because at this point the only other (harsh) reality is that Josh Allen simply doesn't like playing football anymore and is already looking at life beyond his pro football career but that would raise a whole other set of issues like how to get out his massive $250M that coincidentally starts to kick in 2024.

Exactly. I see a man who really doesn't care,like screw it.  The fun and excitement is gone.

It's almost like he can tell the team don't care anymore and is preparing for what is to come knowing they are not coming together this year.  Something is still really off at OBD and I expect we will get to share the experience Sunday once again

If he craps less, he’ll be even more full of *****.

Beane is at least a football man. We don't know if he would fail to hire a good HC since McDermott was here before him. If Beane gets the opportunity to hire a HC it would be his first time. Now if Terry fires both of them then I wouldn't feel confident that he could find the right replacements.

[DuckyBoys]

why would Allen look cheerful?  Team is losing games and he is the first place you go for an explanation  Think they guy just wants to go our and play and he's being over analyzed and scrutinized.  McDermott  is just building himself a parachute for the offseason to explain away the teams collapse

[MikePJ76]

good thing for McDermott is he probably wont be around too much longer to have to opine for Josh to have that look in his eyes.

 

I mean me personally, I bet its wonderful coming in to work everyday knowing the whole world is waiting for your star wr to blow up and turn this into an episode of jerry springer where you are the villain and he is the damsel in distress.  It must be a great feeling.  I bet its hard to be loose and happy 24x7 in this scenario where the guy is sitting back while his brother is on social media talking trash about you for no reason.    

and with that opinion I will add that I bet Allen doesn't love that the Head Coach can not control this situation with this one player either because when he tried in the spring it somehow got worse for everyone.  

 

yes I know I am alone in this opinion and am probably wrong but when this type of thing has started in every other organization it always ends poorly, usually for the head coach and the wr who gets moved.

What finally?  I've been on board since 13 seconds, but I was also forced to face the reality that this sunuvab wasn't going anywhere soon. 

[Dablitzkrieg]

I think people are trying to play pretend psychiatrist.  It's pretty simple.  Allen is mentally weak right now.  Plain as day and needs to snap out of it or he's going to get everyone fired.  McD simply stated the obvious.  He needs to sack up and quit pouting in between drives

Well, the Brady/BB experience was a working model as well. Turns out you just need a QB like Brady and a coach like BB in his prime to execute it.

Some are just exhausting to read/watch, fighting to stay on top of their soap box lol

There were troubling events with the Buffalo offense under Dorsey. Such as Shakir, Cook, and other receivers not getting enough passes their way and Gabe Davis getting more than he should. Josh under the center showed marked improvement in the offensive performance and yet didn't use that often enough for some unknown reason. The run game with Cook disappearing at times. 

 

It is my take that firing Ken Dorsey was the best move McD has made aside from allowing Leslie Frazier to step aside. 

 

I also think that this HC allows his OC to have full autonomy with the offense and he is a "hands-off" Head Coach. This was apparent with Brian Daboll and Dorsey hung himself with his own ineptitude. 

 

I think the Buffalo Bills destroy that NY Jets defense this Sunday and Bills fans will see that this was the right move.

That's my point. Even in the postgame presser he was clearly flustered and immediately went to bat for the defense while saying the offense is the problem.

 

The guy is not approaching his job like an HC right now. He's just responding like a defensive coordinator.

That response is not complimentary

McDermott is acting like a guy who is under a lot of pressure and is not handling it very well.  Not a good look for the franchise.

Agreed. His interviews this week have become even more disjointed than usual. His answers barely make sense because he’s too nervous to answer a question the wrong way. It’s over… the team can’t have a guy like that leading them.

I really hope you don't work for mental health services. As, even if it is a case of him being "mentally weak", it'll take a lot of work to get him to "snap out of it".
