Thank you, that's encouraging to hear.

Thank you for setting up this post. From you're experience, how much can we realistically expect from Brady, as far as his impact with the Xs and Os.

Diggs is far from our biggest problem. Ultimate competitors hate to lose. Others around him, this means you too coaching staff, need to step up. If we win, all this goes away. Who cares if we don't agree with how he handles losing, let's just win.

We need an upgrade. Sick of having a big WR, who doesn't know how to use his size. Average or below average, when it comes to the most important aspects of a WR. Route running, speed, and hands. He's not above average at any of these things. No surprise that he's invisible as often as he is.

I miss it already. My favorite was the one early this year, on 1st and goal from the half yard line. Forgot which game it was.

I'm no expert, but could see that teams know exactly what we're doing, based on the number of times that defenders are beating our WR's to the spot. Like hey.....almost looks like he knows he was going there. i understand that's bound to happen from time to time, but it seems that it was happening at an alarming rate. Being predictable, which is clearly what Dorsey is/was, is on the opposite side of the spectrum of creativity.

We had Mike Shula, and Aaron Cromer on the staff, who are both far more experienced than Brady. I'm wondering how does meetings went every week with McClappy? I would think that McD was meeting with all of them as a group, and also picking their brains 1on1. What's the problem? Any ideas on hot fix it etc? An interview of sorts, without calling it that. I would like to think, that Brady emerged from that, with the best ideas on how to tweak/fix some of the issues that plagued us. Of course I could be completely wrong, and it might be my Bills homerism kicking in.

I think firing Dorsey was the best and only move we could make at this juncture. McDermott has at least earned the right to finish the season. Is it time for change, a fresh new start? Maybe. I guess we'll see after this final 7 game stretch.

It goes hand and hand. Look at Donovan McNabb with and without Andy Reid. If you put Mahommes in this predictable offense, we'd be saying the same thing about him. It's too hard in the NFL to win, and takes the perfect marriage of a coach and QB. You need both. Not sure why we're trying to separate that. Do people on here want to get rid of Allen? This is getting absurd.

Since the 2nd half of last year, Josh Allen his willed this to happen. What we're starting to see now, is a tired, beaten Josh Allen. One can only carry the burden for so long. Do you not agree that even when we were having some success, it looked very laboring?

There's enough blame to go around, but I like to look at the big picture. Cook fumbles on the first play of the game. Gabe drop robs us of an opportunity of 7, or the very least 3. Allen drops the ball for apparently no reason, and his 2nd pick of the half gives Denver 3 more pts. Dorsey's offense has been failing for at least 6 weeks, maybe longer. For that reason, everyone was either uptight, or just trying to force it. In my opinion, this was leading to a lot of these miscues.

Allen has regressed this year, because we run the most predictable offense in the league. Haven't you noticed how often defenders sit down on our routes. That has lead to Allen trying to thread the needle too often, and at times when nothing is there.

He got fired during year 2, not 4 games in. Plus, have you seen the dumpster fire that Carolina is? The key thing that sticks to me, that Burrow says, is that 1. He's very creative....and 2. He always has something for a defensive look, which leads me to believe, he'll be more of an attack style coach, like Daboll was. Dorsey absolutely needed to be fired. Not sure what more we can do, or what else people want.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/joe-burrow-praises-bills-joe-brady-very-creative/ar-AA1jY8KF?ocid=socialshare Sounds like he's everything Dorsey was not.

Yes

Right now if all 11 players on offense are not executing at a level 10, the offense is failing. What we're seeing is the full burden being placed on the players, by the poor offensive coaching. Players are playing super tight right now, and it showed last night with all the drops and miscues, Allen included. I hope Brady is the fresh of breath air that we needed. and to think, our SB hopes now lies with a guy named Brady.

JA's style will always be a riskier style that leads to some turnovers. It's just being exacerbated by the lack of successful drives. In the past it was ok, because we would either score or turn it over. Now there's a lot more punts mixed into that equation. Another reason why we're seeing more, is because Allen feels forced to make everything happen on his own. Like Orlovsky pointed out in his breakdown. The Broncos we're in zone, and we ran a play that was designed to beat man coverage. Bad play call on Dorsey. I honestly think he was clueless, and didn't know how to attack defenses, but I'm also surprised that Josh didn't audible out of that. As much as I love Allen, I can't absolve him either. More the reason, that you need a better OC. A better OC says kid......as soon as you see there running zone, we need to get out of that look......and audible to xyz, etc.

I'm not someone in the know, just a regular longtime fan like most, but this all makes sense to me. Going into the year, I was not on the fire McDermott train, given everything he has done to help turn this franchise around, but unfortunately feel like the Bucs felt, when they fired Dungy and replaced him with Gruden, to help get them over the top. That being said, it's easy to fire someone. Replacing them with a superior coach/leader, is the hard part. Things do seem stale and feel like McDermott has lost the team. There are also no more assistants left to fire/blame. All in all, I don't think you can fire him after 1 bad year, unless you are 100% sure that you can land an upgrade. and please....no more DC's. You have to stick with the times and hire an offensive minded coach.

Thank you for always being the voice of reason. I've been calling for Brady to replace him for a bit now. When we hired Brady, I thought it was for this same reason. That being said, what are your expectations for these next 7 games?

I never thought that I'd arrive to this, but we need to fire the entire staff, and hire an offensive minded coach, to stop the regression. My vote is for Ben Johnson.

Is McDermott going to bench himself next?

Makes sense.

Agree on all points. I love Fitz and his elite mind. Don't know why that guy couldn't be the back up for Josh, just to have his brain in the room. His limitations were strictly physical. That's why he excelled against BB (mind over scheme), but severely struggled against the Revis lead Jets. Even early on in the season when we were scoring more pts, the issues were there. Some of us brought them up, and others would chose to ignore and flame us for it. We all now see it. Question is, how long do we allow it to happen? I'm also in the camp that McDermott is safe, but if he lets the season get away, by chosing to not strip play calling duties away from Dorsey, things could change.

I'd argue we have more talent on offense now, than we did 2 years ago. Kincaid has emerged as a really good #2, and both of our Guards were upgraded. Dorsey is in over his head. Too predictable, no feel for the game. We went from a team that rarely punted, to a team who disappears on offense for 2-3 quarters at a time.

I don't agree on the Harty one, but this one was definitely a miss. All around bad.
