Is it McDermott or Brady?

[Goin Breakdown]

When the other QB sucks, we suck. Weird how that's. McD runs this team. Brady does...........well idk. They're both to blame. Get Beane out too. Grass may not be greener, but all this has looked like crap. If we truly believ that Josh is the reason we're contenders every year then maybe it won't matter a ton who the coach is.

Just like Jim Kelly used to do, it is time to let Josh Allen call the offensive plays.  More than about time.

It starts at the top so it’s McD but unfortunately I don’t believe Pegula will do anything. Exhibit A is the Sabres. They’re terrible and no changes. This roster is terrible too. So you can discharge Beane as well as far as I’m concerned. You have a great QB and this roster is crap along with the coaching staff in general.

I’ve got a question about the offensive game plan: who’s actually calling the shots—McDermott or Brady?

 

I’ve been wondering about this and wanted to hear some opinions. Last week against Tampa, the offense looked creative and explosive, even with backups in key spots. Then last night we went right back to the predictable, run-heavy approach…and we all saw how that ended.

 

So is Brady actually designing the offensive game plan, or is McDermott too involved and getting in the way? Personally, I think it’s McD. He’s a great coach overall and a good team builder bringing men together, but he needs to stay in his lane. To me, he still feels more like a great defensive coordinator than a true head coach when it comes to the whole team and offensive involvement.  He would be a great Defensive Coordinator somewhere else and great at it when he can focus only on that.  

 

I wish McD would just let Brady do his thing from here on out and stay out of the offense and play Josh ball.  We still may have lost last night but at least they would have been having fun IMO.  Thoughts???

    

It was the D in the first half, and the O-line the entire game.  That's what I saw.  The amount of time it takes for our D to make adjustments is absolutely mind boggling.  

Worst game by this O-line by far.  Dawkins was awful, and they waited way too long to pull Brown out.  His injury was obviously affecting his play.

If peak Travis Kelce were on the Bills with Brady and Allen, would he be as effective. If not, is that because of Allen or Brady? 

 

Yes I think he would.

The offense is changed to run clock and lessen the exposure of the defense to multiple drives.  The defense has made strives in the last two games in second half adjustments.  This team is now seeing an O line that is aging out.  The NFL is fluid.  The game plan was an indictment on Brady.   Why not got with Anderson on the field to assist on pass protection and run blocking?  Speed DE?  Run the ball at them.  Take the starch out of them.  As bad as the offense looked last night, they had a chance to win at the very end.  The very best defense in the NFL could have been defeated.  Time to lick the wounds, build a better game plan and brace for the rest of the season.

Sean is a great leader and the team seems unified and a positive culture has been established.They play for each other.Unfortunately he is not what this team needs right now. We desperately need an innovative offensive coach who can best utilize our most talented players. He also is not fundamentally sound because every week the players have an abundance of bad decisions and dumb penalties. Could it be he has lost his ability to keep some of these older players disciplined and detail oriented? When a player like Dawkins, has a presnap penalty on a 4th and one, that is on the HC. When you’re a turnstile like Dion was and you’re getting humiliated and putting your franchise QB in real danger, you can’t make that mistake. Also, his personnel decisions have been really bad. Why did he allow Coleman to go down in flames over 10 weeks before calling him out? Why didn’t he insist on Beane bringing in a competent secondary player at the deadline, knowing our corners were not effective, and we lost Rapp for the season?  How far will we go watching this team diminish before we address these problems?

I put a lot of this on brady.  We just never adjusted to their pass rush, it felt like we were consistently trying to beat them in spread looks with mesh and crossers.  Allen's first INT seemed to spook him on the spot routes in the middle, and too much stuff was happening way too far down the field with how quickly pressure was getting there.   Houston never had to really adjust and essentially played a man under game with a spy on 3rd downs.

It was a difficult game to watch when the changes were not made.

McDermott calls the defense. IMO I think he’s doing a good job holding the defense together and keeping it afloat despite all the injures they have especially up front. Joe Brady and Josh run the show on offense.
