Doesn't matter how much you restock the shelves if you can't coach offense you are just shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic. I have no problems with McD as a coach but he seems completely unable to recognize talent on the offensive side of the ball either in players or coaches.

Let's face it. McDermott broke the offense and doesn't have anyone on his staff that can fix it. To make matters worse the personal choices for offense have been less than stellar also. A good OC could patch this together but I don't think Daboll has shown any ability to turn lemons into lemonade. Gailey would screen pass the hell out of them which would help the OL and Shady would be perfect. Roman or Lynn would let Allen run RPO's and help the run game and the WR's. At the very least they would have a more disciplined group of misfits and keep the penalties down a little bit. If they could do that it would be an improvement.

You mean the same way they ignored it last year? I know I'll get flamed for it but with all the draft capital we used on Allen we could have had quality recievers and OL replacements. I like Allen, I really do, but to package that much to draft a QB who isn't even ready to step in and play under the assumption that you can coach him up is asking a lot of the coaching staff in Buffalo.

I mean it's a little about Peterman. Another unnamed QB trots out there and hangs up 3 points believe me it would be ALL about him. So don't tell me it's not about Peterman. Maybe it's not all Peterman but the QB always takes the hit. I'll be honest I had/have little faith in Daboll also. Two young QB's you need a coach who has a little more of a proven track record. Daboll has ridden Gronk's coat tails and the Alabama defense.

Bills vs. Ravens: 1st Half Game Day Thread

We were top ten in scoring both years before McDermott (and Dennison). We went from over 23 ppg to 18 ppg last year and god only knows how bad this year. -

McDermott making a good case for him never being anything but a DC ever again. He inherited a top ten offense and has systematically run it into the ground with help from the rest of the Bill's organization. All those picks and cap space and we have a "project QB" with a cannon arm and unproven ability to run an NFL offense who after being drafted top ten is not even ready to start. Even if he was the rest our offensive personal is so bad we have to wonder if we wouldn't ruin him just because everything around him is so bad. Then to add to that we brought in an unproven and (when he had the chance) ineffective OC to "coach him up". All the makings of a dumpster fire. Best case scenario we get a bunch more picks to throw into the abyss next year. -

Defense was never the same after Dareous was gone. Whether he was playing only 30 percent of the snaps at the time or not, the defense just never has been the same. Oh and the offense we are facing today is the offense we gave up to get what we have now. Just food for thought. -
Considering the coaching staffs I'd suspect they are both in trouble. McD's vs Bowles and Daboll vs Bates is like 4 blind men trying to nail jello to a tree. Not one of them has a track record that suggests they can put an offense on the field that can score over 23 ppg. As much as everyone thought drafting that "franchise" QB would mean 300 yard passing games and the next coming of the air coryell I'd honestly be happy to see us be able to line up and run for 140 ypg and score 18 TD's on the ground ala Jacksonville last year.

I think there is little chance he repeats his record breaking performance but how many picks do you think he needs to throw to guarantee that this offense will not be able to overcome the turnovers. I think 2 picks is pretty much a death blow and I could see him doing that frequently. I'm not even a Peterman hater. I just see him as an all or nothing, the ball is coming out and someones going to catch it, type of QB. It's just a matter of who is standing there when the ball gets caught.
