Coached with Brady at LSU and with the Panthers. Hiring people Brady is familiar with is the first real sign he'll have the interim label removed for next year IMO.

Good, this looks like a real offense. Give him the guys he wants

 

Also, we did lose our QB coach basically, always a good idea to have another smart coach that knows the OC really well

If this is what it takes for McDingus to get fired, I’m good with it.  Outside of Josh and Cook, the offense looked awful last night.

this is....weird timing? but okay cool 

 

I don't know about weird. Early indicators are that McDermott is going to stick around another year unless he really poops the bed. If he is staying, Brady is the logical choice to keep as OC. This seems like hiring someone to effectively delegate what Brady was doing before now that he has more on his plate.

seems like something you’d do during the bye? 

He was in the box with Brady last night, so it seems they may have done just that and just held off the announcement. It's not like there were any other Buffalo Bills stories in the news last week😂

"After one season in the NFL as an offensive assistant with the Carolina Panthers in 2020, DJ Mangas returned to LSU last January as the passing game coordinator for the Tigers. Mangas first joined LSU in 2019, coming to the coaching staff as an offensive analyst after two years as the offensive coordinator at William & Mary.

In his original stint with the Tigers, Mangas worked with former offensive coordinator Joe Brady as LSU put together the most prolific offense in SEC history, averaging 48.4 points and 568.4 total yards per game in 2019. That year, LSU won the national championship, scoring 50 or more points seven times and winning all but two games by double-digits."

Enjoy the win. Save the complaining and ditching the coach talk for the off-season. Or at least until we're mathematically eliminated.

He may also have had post-season duties to complete at UB

The OLine had some serious issues in the 2nd half with their pass pro.  Not many teams are going to look good offensively when their QB is under duress all half.  They need to shore that up big time...Spencer Brown against Micah Parsons is going to be a problem if they don't get him help.

Whoa...absolutely no overlap with McDermott and Beane but some familiarity with Joe Brady.  Pretty damning stuff...

Sorry man, I just can’t get pumped for this ***** show of an offense we see week in and week out.  
 

2:16 left season on the line: 1st - Screen to Diggs (which we had previously tried 3 times and all failed) - incomplete, 2nd -  Deep shot left - incomplete, 3rd - desperation heave after not scheming for obvious blitz - incomplete.  Total time off the clock 19 seconds, without forcing them to burn a single time out.  Not a single touch for Cook who was gashing KC all night.
 

Bills are a dumb football team, and they don’t learn from mistakes.  This is why they are 7-6 instead of 11-2.

Fact!!  Have to get the ball out quick, Dallas has a formidable defense and I bet they replicate KC’s blitz schemes
