somnus00 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 53 minutes ago, SirAndrew said: I’ll give it chance, but I think this is the case of a head coach with a very particular vision. He wants a coordinator who’s inexperienced so he gets more input in how the offense functions. This take is based on a lot of illogical speculation, and it needs to die. There's been no evidence that McDermott is this kind of micromanager. Moreover, it makes no sense. His job security, and millions of dollars, is not based on him hiring a puppet. It's based on him finding the people that will bring wins to Buffalo. I guarantee you, winning and money are more important to McD than his ego. 3 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warriorspikes51 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I’m good with this IF Brady realizes that throwing to Diggs behind the line or a few yards along sideline is not using his strengths. Brady, Josh and Diggs needs to figure out how to rebuild chemistry/connection Go out and get Josh 2 legit dynamic WR’s in the draft + someone like Hollywood Brown transform the offense into a much faster more dangerous group. Look at Zay Flowers impact in Baltimore. We have the chance to draft similar impactful players.

No_Matter_What Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 57 minutes ago, HappyDays said: I hate this. I don't necessarily hate that Brady got the job. But I hate that the team didn't even attempt to complete a full and exhaustive search. We're just running it back. McDermott loves playing it safe. It's what holds him back as a coach more than anything. I'm not sure how I feel about all this but I'd say this is the best way to describe how I feel. For me this is a good thing in following sense - if we don't make at least AFCCG next season or the whole team doesn't look much better than this year, I'll be fully on fire McDermott train.

klos63 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Not a terribly inspiring hire. Allen's passing numbers were down, under 200 yards against KC, Diggs invisible after Brady took over. 16 passes behind the LOS in the playoff game is not really something to get excited about. He's better than Dorsey, but that's a low bar. Had to think a lot of coaches would have loved to work with our offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherfield and Diggs dropped 3 passes that should have been caught & would have been 125 yards passing it would have been wise to at least interview a handful of legit candidates Edited January 28 by Warriorspikes51 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillsGospel2014 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I'm excited to see what his system looks like, he was literally let go because he was too pass heavy in Carolina who wanted a more balanced attack. I thought he did an excellent job with another coordinators playbook with a few of his ideas thrown in. The entire offense clearly liked his style/approach because they turned things around fairly quickly imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 50 minutes ago, Augie said: McD is 5-6 in the playoffs, and many of those could have gone the other way, for better or worse. Marvin Lewis was 0-7 in the playoffs, so I would not say that is the same thing. A guy who wins about half is better than a guy who never won. Did Marvin Lewis have Josh Allen or did he gave good (definitely not great) QB like Carson Palmer and Andy Dalton? I'll hang up and listen.

Eastport bills Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I think Brady is the right guy for Josh. He called nice games after Dorsey set play calling back 40 years. He let Josh be Josh and we looked unpredictable and multidimensional. I think Brady will even be better next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His idea of building a championship team is different than what I’d prefer. This team became a ball control offense, that’s what I saw with my eyes, then McD talks about “complimentary” football in press conferences. That told me he places a high value on controlling the clock, rather than building a big play offense. McDermott truly believes he has the best plan to win. He appears to be a great guy and good leader. I never criticized his coaching on this board prior to the KC divisional loss. I now think we’ve plateaued with McD as coach.

I'll hang up and listen. He had a HOF QB in Palmer for many of those years. McD > Lewis, and it’s not even close. First it was argued that they were both the same in the playoffs. Well, 5-6 is not the same as 0-7. I’ve checked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, we caught some bad breaks and made dumb mistakes the first half of the year. I think a lot of those breaks went our way in the second half. Who knows if we even win the division without the Harty punt return in Miami. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Landing Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Welp... he was a better OC than Krazy Ken, but not by much. I was at the Chargers game in LA, and after about the fifth time I heard, "number 76 declaring as eligible..." my 13yo son, and I would look at each other in exasperation. I feel like Brady ran that RB-up-the-middle play a dozen times or more, and it might have averaged about 1.5 ypc. They used it a fair amount in the last KC game also, although I think it actually worked in that game. I do believe that Brady got better as the season progressed, but I still think the Bills are lacking a true offensive mind on their staff. Tired of having an OC that's learning on the job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngbills Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Does Brady get credit for McD defense not blowing leads? That was really the biggest difference. The numbers under Brady are not any better and never approached the Dorsey good game levels. I hope Brady proves me wrong but his O was inspiring. Allen became Cam Newton, which he always was capable of being. But I thought the goal was bigger that that? Allen won’t last long if that is the plan with him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
