This summer is critical for McD, and he’s never hired a top end OC. Dennison and DaBoll had been mediocre historically at best, Dorsey an elite QB coach but next to no play calling experience. I think the rest of the staff is pretty good. He’s got an elite QB, he will have big time options if (when?) Dorsey is canned.

I know nothing, just like the wrest of us, but I wonder if Dorsey went for a job he wasn’t ready for? He’s an elite QB coach, that isn’t disputable. How he taught QBs just hasn’t translated to the rest of the offense yet. Are these 2nd year OC growing pains, or symptoms of hitting the ceiling. Hmm Tyrod was awesome his first season too. Hard to argue against whisky, cigars, and plaid tuxedos though.

Gabe Davis is wild to follow. Game to game, wildly inconsistent and he disappears when we need him the most. Season totals? On pace for 59 - 820 - 9 TDs. He averages 6.5 catches for 91 yards and a TD per game. Thats amazing production for a #2, but he has FIVE games this year where he has less than 35 yards 🤯 He had more than 22 yards once in the last 4 games!

For the downfall of this message board, I feel we hyper focused on the valley’s , and don’t appreciate the peaks. When things are good, reasons not to get too excited are always vomited up like an hairball and thrown around. We are hyper obsessed with the journey, but we only catch the positive “did you see that!?” moments of other teams, so we think other teams don’t go through bad times, other QBs don’t make mistakes, other coaches don’t make poor decisions. Or at least, our problems are always worse, our coaches are worse, are players are worse. I still like our QB, GM, and (gasp) HC. We are in a small transition, but we have a strong foundation.

That means you think any player comparison is stupid. Almost no player has the same variables, but we watched Singletary in this offense for a while. I think Cook’s skill set translates to it better.

This will trigger lots of fans, but I think part of it is Bills fans got entitled. We are coming off a 10, 13, 11, and 13 win season. We witnessed greatness, flat out dominance at times over that run. We spanked big names, in prime time, in their houses on many occasions. Bills were everywhere, Josh’s face is on everything, and we witnessed greatness from the QB position to a level we have never seen. We spent the last 20 years watching Brady, where QB greatness = rings. I think it has become expected. I think the players fell into the same trap. Problem is, any given Sunday isn’t a myth. There are no assumed victory’s. The other problem is other key moves haven’t paid off, making the SB entitlement rather difficult.

Like playing RB. Not sure who’s the better chef?

Sounds like Bills tried “ball control to protect the defense” approach. Let’s see them just unleash, now it the time. High scoring game if we don’t have Bernard, Bills pull it out. 38-31 Bills.

Hijacked into a McDermott thread in 3… 2… 1…

Cook is better than Singletary.

No, we don’t have enough WR depth to trade Gabe.

Wait it was Nick Scott? Same guy Allen choke slammed into oblivion last year? Makes it even better 🤣

I can see a world where he gets two. Statistically his offense is phenomenal. I speculate his issue is teaching that offense.

I feel bad for Zach Moss. Carried that team!

Tre at 16.2m killed us. Jones at 8.5 Milano at 7 Knox at 6.4 (he’ll be back) Elam at 3.1 (he’ll also be back)

You just have to mess with the sliders. The online gaming community ruined it because it’s catered to them. They had to “nerf” certain aspects like defensive coverage due to how easy it would be for players who are good at taking over defensive players and covering either user or AI controlled opposing WRs, and vise versa. The end result for people like me who don’t play online is poor defensive coverage or poor WR play when the AI is taking over. I’m terrible at controlling anyone who doesn’t have the ball in their hand. I legitimately only control the DL when playing, I can’t do any other position to save my life (or it looks super unnatural).

Frazier had his strengths for sure, but IMO the last 2 minutes of a ballgame were not one of them.

The old excuse list!

I’ve heard Groot is playing with a “significant” foot injury.

I wouldn’t rule out a veteran OC either.

Bill Cowher - Year 14 Tom Landry - Year 12 Curly Lambaue - Year 8 Pete Carol - Year 8 (coached in college for years before returning) Tony Dungy - Year 11 Need I go on? Keep McD, get him whatever he needs.

Correct!

Doubt it, feels like an unofficial rule. Concussion protocol equals 1 week out unless you are a star QB.

It’s almost guaranteed that Bernard will be out, I think the only guy to clear concussion protocol in one week this season has been Brock Purdy.

Once the DL died, the rest followed.
