Whose been getting burned for a decade on D, while his HOF QB takes care of it. He has at least hired great playcallers, that run a modern offense. So people don’t care that the shine is off of his defense

In 1/3 of McDermott’s games they have lost by 21 plus, suggesting in addition to this offensive garbage the defense isn’t as far along as we’d like either.

Talent argument has no merit, look what Gailey did in not nearly as soft a league. No misdirection on offense or even that many bunch formations, a good offensive coach, like Gailey, would do such things to minimize his talent defecit. All that matters in the modern nfl is offense, it will become even more prevalent in future years. The regime has shown no eye for even replacement level offensive talent or most importantly a coach who can design plays and schemes to work around those defecienes. Defense is irreverent now, we need to get ahead

How much?

Nobody on Gaileys teams at the skill positions ever made an impact anywhere else. How much better were they really? Fine maybe he doesn’t want 11 pts a game, but he does want an old pro style offense, as evident by both of his OC hires, he’s way behind the times offensively, and the way the NFL is now you just can’t afford that

I’m not a doom and gloom guy normally but he has got to go for a simple reason, what he is attempting to build is no longer effective in the NFL. We can not be defense first, not with these rules, we cannot have play calling from the 1970s, unable to take advantage of the rules. And two coordinators now have done this. People that defend him will point to the talent, 11 pts a game in a league where 35 is routine runs so much deeper than that. We saw Gailey score plenty of points with the same talent level. Innovate or die, McDermott can’t innovate and he could ruin Allen out of that stubbornness. The Rams and Bears did it, firing two more accomplished coaches to catch up to the league, the Bills have to as well

I like McDermott but defensive head coaches are a dying breed. Even proven winners like Tomlin and Harbaugh are on hot seats. Because innovation on offense and the rules have changed the NFL. McDermott went backwards by hiring Daboll, a guy who coordinated an offense that had trouble scoring against even softer college D. So after next season McDermott will likely be replaced by a young offensive minded coach, well a competent organization would do this, but the bills may not. We just have to hope that isn’t too late for Allen, whom I am nowhere close to writing off like others in the thread

It’s like people don’t understand coaches exists. Play designs, schemes. Give Shanahan Allen’s mobility and Arm strength he would be salivating. The game is all schemes, have an elite scheme and these soft rules and production is easy, even with minimal talent

Play designs, they overcome everything. Those guys are all with great play designers. We’ve had only one of those since about 2000

30 years on this planet. I’ve seen 8 all time great transcendent QB Aikman Young Favre Roelisthberger Manning Brady Brees Rodgers Half those guys struggled plenty around poor teams early, judgements off of that are why Brees became a Saint. You need time and teamattes, Wait until Allen gets those things

Two words.. Jared Goff.. can’t judge Allen now, no oline and quite possibly the worst wr corps in modern history. Be happy he doesn’t make mistakes and isn’t scared. We win today if he finishes.
