Yep exactly- I actually made a thread after that Arizona game stating exactly What you said about Josh bailing them. Joe Brady is definitely a descent OC, but I think sometimes we just look at "oh the bills scored 30 points so Joe Brady was awesome ". Opposed to realizing we have a future hall of fame QB who bailed this team out of 3rd and longs all game Long

Being in 3rd and longs is a sustainable strategy for you to win football games consistently? If that's the case then anyone of us could be offensive coordinator for the bills as all we would have to do is run it on 1st and 2nd downs to get to 3rd and medium/longs lol

Observation 2, good point. Never thought of that.

In my opening post I said not including Dennison. So blame me for that one lol

So stubbornly pounding the ball up the middle all game to put yourself in 2nd and 3rd and longs all game long, to set Yourself for a few plays at the end of the game is the strategy? I am sorry, Not a sustainable strategy. Bills have an all world QB who ridiculously bailed them out of 3rd and longs all game long, that's why they were successful against KC

He had rough games like any OC, but I think objectively in the McDermott era he had the best stretches of offence and when him and Josh were in the zone, they were unstoppable . 0 punts in 2 games against belichick in one season is absolutely wild

Ya I'm mostly with you- Joe Brady does frustrate me at times. For me it's mostly his stubbornness to run the ball. I haven't had a big issue with his route concepts, but interesting graphics you bring up

Oh sorry thought I heard Joe Marino say 58/42, I must have heard wrong. Thank you for sharing

I'm not saying you're wrong, but do you have any stats to back up that bills are pretty balanced between run and pass on first down since week 4? I think the chiefs game was 58/42 run vs pass on first down. Which yes it's definitely more balanced, but for me is a bit too much run heavy when Josh Allen is your QB

Fair point about Daboll. Probably agree about Babich with the least amount of talent - But i do think he sits back too much at times . He finally went more aggressive and played more man/ cover 1 while mixing in zones against KC and it worked great

Hahah I did say not including Rick Dennison at the top! As objectively he was the worst haha. And that's a very good point you bring up with Daboll/allen when he was raw

Cool to disagree, but why do you say it makes less sense? Daboll was absolutely lights out in his last two games with the bills. (Perfect game , then 36 points against KC the next game)

Now that we have a descent sample size from babich and Brady, thought it would be fun to rank them in the McDermott era. (Not including Rick Dennison lol) Offensive Coordinator's: (Disclaimer- I do like passing more, and an aggressive style of defence and it will reflect in my opinion) 1. Brian Daboll- I know a lot of you will disagree with this one . And I get he was frustrating at times. But when I think peak Bills offence, I think Brian Daboll in 2020 and at the end of 2021. To Me he was the only guy who could consistently go toe to toe with BB and Spags. 2. Joe Brady- Joe Brady can be very frustrating with his stubbornness to run the ball up the middle on a lot of first downs, but at the end of the day he's effective. Overall I think he's a pretty good OC, would just love for him to mix in more PA on first downs 3. Ken Dorsey - It's the old "trying to fit a square peg into a round hole " analogy with him and Josh. I didn't love his random play calling as well as it seemed like he never had a good feel for the game Defence: 1. Sean McDermott- I loved the bills defence last year as it was attacking. And when they were healthy down the stretch, they played some outstanding defence as McDermott really figured it out after the eagles loss. ( Playoffs was hard to judge as the whole team was decimated ) 2. Leslie Frazier- I never really liked Frazier too much as I don't like passive defence, but at the end of the day he produced great defences. (Unfortunately not in the playoffs though) 3. Bobby Babich- Admittedly I haven't been a fan of babich for most of the year, as I think he's been passive and needs to help his front 4 out more with simulated pressures. But! I think it was by FAR his best game against KC as I loved the way he attacked and mixed things up. So a lot of optimism going forward. What are your rankings?

What a dysfunctional organization. I love it

Hes getting a lot more two deep safeties this year and he's not adjusting great to it. But ya even his accuracy is off compared to last year
