How Good is Joe Brady?

All offenses stall sometimes. The 2013 Denver Broncos were the highest scoring offense in NFL history. They still punted 65 times. 

Sure, anything can stop a drive, a holding call or another penalty etc ... But when I see three straight drives go for a grand total of negative 1 yard and in those three drives James Cook's number wasn't called at all, I start yelling at Brady to wake up from my living room. That was last weeks 2nd Q.

 

 Against the better Offenses we face (Ravens, Chiefs etc...) I  believe they need to score every time they get the ball as part of "complimentary football", which is a we score they score type deal.

 I understand the frustration, but there is more at stake then a couple of drives.  The Bills need to spread the workload.  No matter how good Cookie is, the more pounding he takes early in the year the more likely he'll be slowed by injuries later in the year when we need him most.  

 

We need to get Davis and Johnson more involved.  If they can't do the job, then we need to give Gore a look.  Cook and Josh can't carry all the load.  It's really that simple.

 

Against a mediocre team like NO, that is a perfect opportunity to try to get Davis and Johnson more involved.  I do agree with you that the play calling in those 3 drives was suspect, but that doesn't change the objective, or the overall quality of work done by Brady as our OC.

I don't care how good Joe Brady is in the abstract.  He has been and is a good OC for the Bills.  He's made some mistakes, but everybody makes mistakes.

 

I like his offensive philosophy.  I like that his offense takes a lot of pressure off Allen to do super things frequently but gives Allen the freedom to play hero ball when necessary so he always remains a threat.

GunnerBill’s original comment about Dorsey as the OC:

Dorsey had success for about 20 games. Then it fell off a cliff very quickly.

 

My reply in which I quoted GunnerBill’s line above about Dorsey as the OC:

 10 points vs Cinci in the playoffs. And still kept his job!

 

@SoTier Your gotcha post, starring you as the only guy who didn’t get it.

Dorsey was the Bills OC in the 2022 playoffs against Cincinnati not Brady.

 

Dude, if you're gonna troll, at least do it competently.  

 

You misread the thread, misattributed my context, and then confidently accused me of being incompetent. lol

I hope you're right.

He is .

 Like chess a little bit. The Coaches are setting up for ten moves(games ) ahead. And adjustments are never ending. Makes for Good football

 Buffalo plays week to week with long term thinking we might not ever realize. Cuz it will change.

Go Bills

If one was judging by this patriots game, Brady would be considered one of the worst OCs in the league.  Seriously, what’s going on tonight?

The Bills supporting cast is playing actually awful, Brady isn’t helping, and Vrabel is a good enough coach to have his guys ready.
