    Oh, yeah, there's plenty that I say that criticizes McDermott, but I'll admit that primarily I sound like a homer.   That's because what I generally do when thinking about the Bills is ask myself why Beane or McDermott might have decided to do what they did.   That's what I write about.   So, I look for the logic in the decisions that they make, rather than criticize what they did because I think they should have done something else. 

     

    You can see that in what I wrote about the Cook benching.   I don't know whether it was the correct move or not, but I wrote that I could see why it made sense, why McDermott probably did it.   

     

    And I don't bother to dwell on the negative.   In the past couple of days, if you go back and look at my posts, you will see that I say I agree with the idea that McDermott's teams have a lot of unsatisfactory game-ending events.  13 seconds, the penalty against Denver, Hail Murray.   There are a lot of them, and they tell me the team isn't properly prepared to win in those circumstances.   But my view about those things also is that everyone makes mistakes, and the measure of how good people are in their jobs is how they learn and respond from mistakes.   I continue to have confidence that McDermott will be a better HC five years from now than he is today.   I get that people disagree with that, some people who just are frustrated and what a change for change's sake, and some people who have some good reasons to believe that he'll always lose big games.   

    Shaw we cant wait 5 more years McDermott to figure it out  The window is now with a qb in place

    McB purposely neglected the OL and a better supplemental wr (wr2) for years. And this was done in order for him to focus on his defense.  They literally had every opportunity to build a monster offense around Josh from 2018 on.  Josh simply had to make hero plays because he didn't have the offensive structure to go in any other direction.  McD hires Dorsey (another mistake) and Ken proceeds to ask Josh to do 3 things at once. No one should be surprised by this or Josh's loss of confidence. McDermott better quickly decide whether he wants to be flexible with Brady or his time with this team will come to an end.  And to finalize,  none of this has anything to do with the incessant blunders that Sean commits during games. That's a whole different argument for another day. This is about leadership and letting your offensive people like Daboll do their job.

    That is where the issue began  They traded for Diggs in 2020 and  not much else since then favoring investing heavily on D line.    Kincaid first real weapon they added since 2020.  Offense has no explosive guys around Josh then double down with a first time OC  Add the heavy possibility of a head coach that meddles with the offense as well trying to hide his defenses liabilities as well as stupid philosophy  This defense should be attack and try and get off the field quickly not retreat and wait for a mistake

    This has been going on since after the Broncos game. McDermott has been in self-preservation mode. He praised the defensive players for playing their asses off, giving them (and his own play calling) no fault for the loss. He then went on to criticize the offense heavily and fired his OC the next day. When asked about the end of game FG debacle he commented that they had practiced that situation throughout the week but "failed to execute." His post game presser was completely unhinged. He blamed one player after another, never pointing the finger at himself. I can't imagine that landed well in the locker room.

     

    Yeah he's done a nice job of dividing the team by separating offense and defense  and now taking shots at arguably the person most responsible for his long term success in Josh Allen

  4. How about use Harty like Beasley underneath on short routes.  Run some screens w the rbs.  Do more one step quick passes like in the TB game.  Use more motion  Run more from the I  w Josh under center  Run the middle rb screen.  Kincaid down the seam.  End arounds, jet shuffle pass  

     

    Maybe not call that sideline mesh concept ever again and spend half a practice on ball security  Guys still not putting the ball into the sideline hand and covering it up w both hands in traffic 

  5. Gabe has limitations and the Bills keep trying to make him something he is not  His hands are still questionable and he is not good route runner Also he doesnt play as "big" as he is   Seems he and Josh have been not on the same page often but I blame that on a offense that has far too many decisions being made by both players on the same route  Enough of the endless option routes  Keep it simple

    • Agree 1
  6. ask yourself how many times this year you have seen a completion and there are several Bills receivers near each other?  I understand they want routes he can process quickly but stacking them virtually a few yards apart seems like asking for defenders to drop underneath and also makes tipped ints far more likely

  7. the offense is predicated by execution vs a good scheme that puts the players in advantageous positions to win  At least the way Dorsey was calling it  Maybe its salvageable  with a different play caller .   I hope we dont see shotgun on third and short   Little bit of luck would be a nice change  Feel like a lot of the turnovers were flukey and feels like any fumble always seems to be recovered by the defense  Fingers crossed Sunday's game is watchable

  8. He does need to cut them down but a few were throwaways/arm punts batted balls and bad luck (Gabe Davis stone hands etc)  Think they seem much worse because a few were really dumb forced throws  The really egregious plays were the Jets ints , the Pats opening drive int and the broncos sideline pick  Those were arm arrogance/bad decisions  He needs to be better, maybe benefit from a bid of good luck  Think it all starts with using the run game more and maybe him figuring out how to move the ball without needing to fit difficult throws more than a handful of times per game
