McDermott statement in presser is telling concerning our offense

The Bills neglecting our superstar QB and forgetting how we became a contending team is why we are in this mess, at least on offense. A tight end heavy offense shouldn’t be a staple when you have Josh ***** Allen as your QB.

 

 

Isn’t that absolutely correct?

 

Just recall, when WGR dared to ask him Pre Season about why he hadn’t drafted a WR, he went off on them about the quality of the WR “everybody eats” posse and NFL leading scoring offense! 
 

Those of us, who said the WRs weren’t good enough by half, were scorned by OBD posters here. Beanbrain punted on Hollins and added nobody to this collection of NO STARS!

They weren’t good enough in 2024 and you sure as shite are farrrrr worse in 2025!
 

At best, Shakir (who I like) is a #3.

 

A #3! He is now #41 stat wise. The others are #66 (Coleman) and #100 (Palmer) and #192 (Moore) and #225 Shavers!
Hollins had more receptions today than Shavers has for the Season!
 

TRRRRRRRRRRASH!

 

#17 had 3.5 seconds to throw today and yet these clowns still can’t get separated and open!

 

This is on Beanbrain!

 

He punted on any help pre season and laughed at critics.

And sensing, they were in deep doo doo pre trade deadline, he got…

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBODY!

 

Including Waddle who apparently was available for a 2026 #1, not a 2027 #1 which Beane offered. And then, got cold feet.

 

An absolutely disastrous performance.

 

The woeful Fish have the formula. Sack up to prevent Cook from unloading and btw- they can TACKLE 🙄 and the Bills are ***** dead!

 

This is on BEANE! A total failure, losing the room, the team, the fans and a wunderkind Unicorn QB !

McDaniel alluded to it coming out of the locker room in the 2nd half. Miami played the run and dared us to beat them downfield and we could not do it. We were unprepared for it. This is what happens when you play a team with nothing to lose. If we beat them deep well that would be the expected outcome no harm, no foul on McDaniel's part, they are 2-7. But if it works (like it did) well then he looks like a genius and the Bills drag their sorry asses back to Buffalo with their tails between their legs. 

They dont have the talent to beat defenses down the field

Coach was asked about the passing offense being ineffective and he said it would be nice to be effective but it will basically only be effective when working in concert with the running game.

 

I strongly disagree with that statement as a whole, but agree that’s what we need RIGHT NOW because of front office neglect. Yes, we all want a good ground game. And we have a very good ground game when Cook is on the field. But a good ground game, IMO, is easier to shut down than a good pass game is, which we don’t have right now. At least a good passing game when the ground game isn’t effective.

 

Just a few years back, the perfect game followed up by the 13 seconds game, the Bills passing game was humming and the offense, with a pretty mediocre ground game, was basically as unstoppable as an offense can be.

 

The Bills neglecting our superstar QB and forgetting how we became a contending team is why we are in this mess, at least on offense. A tight end heavy offense shouldn’t be a staple when you have Josh ***** Allen as your QB.

 

 

 

 

Which a tight end heavy offense is wha the Bills have . They have a great pass catching TE in Kincaid, A great Blocking TE in Hawes , And a great TE in Knox that can do both block and catch passes but how often are they utilized correctly ? And that falls on the OC and his scheme .

 

The Bills have the weapons and the game against the Fins are games they are suppose to win with what weapons they have on hand . Sure there were starters out but this offense has put up a hell of a lot more than 16 points before so where did it go wrong ?

 

I didn't see any of the game and that might be a good thing because right now I don't need anything else to help to influence my drinking heavily but I think a lot of the pieces or the biggest part of those pieces are in place it's just using them to their full potential or to their strengths and from what I can see it's not happening .

 

I have been a huge proponent of allowing McD to stay on but there have been other coaches that have done really well and been let go because they couldn't get a team over the top . I was just reminded by a friend that Dan Reeves in Denver was that way but was released then to go on to bigger and better things .

 

That being said if by chance the Bills don't make the play offs which if they continue to play like this I'd be willing to jump on the wagon in saying it's time for a change at the HCing position I would still keep Beane because with a different HC's input I think he could get better players to do the job so I'm not about completely blowing ups everything to get it done but sometimes change is a good thing !!

The morning show on GR this morning said the coaching staff was hoping for help at WR during the draft this year. How they know that or even if it’s true, I have no idea.

 

But if it is true, the McDermott/Beane being in lock step narrative may not be as true as some believe it is.

Playing with tempo requires you to put your best 11 on the field and keep them on the field for the whole drive.  You can't have mass substitutions on every play, because then the defense must have the opportunity to make their own subs.  But not allowing the offense to sub takes one of the joysticks away from the OC, and we can't have that.

 

Plus our best 11 is 13 personnel, which with Kincaid out has to be 12 or 22 personnel.  It's stone age but it can work.  I remember an AFL playoff game, Raiders-Chiefs, and the Chiefs ran out of the straight T formation the entire game and threw only 2 passes.  The weather was fine that day, so it's not like that was the excuse - they just decided to pound the rock and it worked.  Might not work week in and week out, but against a banged up defense like the Dolphins had it should have been dominant.

I remember that game. All running but it was still fun to watch.

[CEN-CAL17]

This is getting old!!!

 

Yeah the offense is always a problem.

 

But as a Defensive HC, your defense is an embarrassment!!!!!

 

A defensive HC relying on offense. Think about that! Times up McDermott 

[Buffalo716]

People here don't realize McDermott is adamant about keeping the running game going because we don't have the people to just drop back and throw 45 times 

 

The bills have done that in the past.. right now this current team does not have the ability to do that 

 

And McDermott wants to win so he knows the best way to open up the passing game is to get the running game going... This offense needs it this year

[Call_Of_Ktulu]

Can a reporter please ask why Cook is not being used like Thurmanator was in the 90’s. Cook plays 5 snaps then leaves the field and has taken a reduced role on red zone and goal line work. He is the only elite talent on this team. 

[zow2]

Solve the problem McDipsh*t!   Stop with the hand wringing and coach speak.  We have the MVP quarterback.  They are paying professional receivers here.  Use them, scheme them up to get open.  Have Allen throw quicker.  Do whatever but fix it!

McD also knows a run game equals TOP and his poor defense doesn't have to be on the field.

I sold my authentic alien jersey this morning because of ***** like this. I have lost patience with this coach and gm. And Pegula won't do a damn thing about it. He's happy the way things are. 

[TheFunPolice]

every terrible OC we ever had wanted an aggressive, attacking offense that could beat you multiple ways....

Also, why don’t they leave a running back in to block to help give Josh more time. Remember when we used to use Singletary like that?

That McD walks away from that game talking about the passing game is ironic.  He (and Beane) are the ones that pushed all their chips into defense this off-season and gave the OC nothing aside from Josh Palmer to replace Amari Cooper.  

 

And then he, as is normal, subtly blames the OC.  He's had issues with every single of the 4 OC's he's hired and still doesn't see he's the problem.  

 

If McD is right about the passing game, then the OC and the QB are at fault and he isn't.  That is, his hand-picked OC and a top-2 QB in the NFL bear responsibility.  

 

The man has never grasped offense, never understood how, with the GM, to scheme an offense, nor the players to fit that scheme...with a franchise QB.

 

McD is the root cause of the dysfunction...and he needs to go after this season.    

I agree with this. Beane takes a lot of heat but I suspect McD, y'know, the guy who got him the job, is his puppet master. McD has no feel for offence, it's really just not in his DNA, he is dead to it. Seattle's head coach earned his stripes on the same side of the ball as McD but has produced a dynamic, innovative offence featuring an explosive passing attack (the more so since he now has his field stretcher, which was the one thing that arguably was lacking. Shaheed evidently just didn't move the needle for us - even if it would have given us exclusive bargaining rights and a compensatory pick if he walked. He also had the acumen to hire Klint Kubiak after an extensive search, saying he could design an offence to bring out the best from the talent on the roster. Have we done that with Allen? If the Seahawks had Josh under center they would be strong Super Bowl favourites imo).

So let me get this straight... you think Beane went rogue, and while going rogue, he **checks notes** drafted exclusively prototypical McDermott defensive players with our first five picks?!

It's astounding the level that some people will go to defend McDermott. Astounding.

This guy gets it! Thank you sir

[H2o]

And this is ANOTHER reason why McDermott needs to be fired. It's over. He's done. Hopefully Pegula has enough sense to choose his QB over his clown-boy coach.
