But the conversation wasnt around Interceptions. The quote you responded to asking for examples was regarding Dorsey insisting on running plays and concepts that consistently fail.
-
No, it's all BS. It's boring in Buffalo and this is what the fans up there do in their free time.
-
True, but there are solutions around as you mentioned. I'm giving AJE and Floyd some of the money that was going to Tre, Poyer, etc. At CB, we can get by with Douglas and Benford, but Douglas is already up there in years, and could possibly shift to Safety.
-
I mean, look at what a joke "mesh" has become even among the Cover1 analysts that it's a huge deal when it actually manages to work (against a crappy Tampa Bay Defense). Yet we still force it. With more horrible results last night. For examples beyond that, you're more qualified to find them than anyone else here so it shouldnt be too hard.
-
As it should be. It's absolutely the biggest hole on the roster. Except maybe Safety. But find someone that can pull double duty the first year if need be. We can still take a WR in the 2nd round. Which would still be by far the highest pick we've used on actually drafting a WR (not including the 1st for Diggs).
-
My thought last night, IF I was Terry and was going to fire McD, I'd make Shula interim HC, Brady interim OC, and Bobby Babich interim DC, and see how it goes. I'll take the Dorsey firing for now. Writing is on the wall for McD.
-
We'll get to McD eventually. Now (today) isnt the time. Spain can go back to being horrible and irrelevant.
-
When a couple players arent executing well, that is on them. When an entire group of highly talented players are not executing, that is on the coaches. That is what happened to our Offense and Ken Dorsey.
-
So what? The move here wasnt to promote Brady because the FO thinks he's a better or even good OC. The move was firing Dorsey in order to stop the bleeding, make a change, wake up the team, and see how the rest of the season goes under McD. No one should be expecting Brady to be the savior of the offense. That likely wont happen until next season at best. But Dorsey had to go. And now we can determine if McD has to go too ("we" being ownership, since WE all know that answer)
-
It's the correct first step. Whether McD survives until 2024 is a separate issue. This HAD to happen NOW. Let's see what happens under the change to Brady (and I'm sure Shula helping out). I'm just glad to see them do SOMETHING, ANYTHING.

The roster is loaded with talent compared to most of the teams ahead of us in the playoff standings. It's all coaching.

Fire McDermott - 12 On the Field INEXCUSABLE
DrDawkinstein replied to WEATHER DOT COM's topic in The Stadium Wall
Tomlin has 33% of our talent, Pittsburgh has a -26 point differential, yet they are 6-3 and in prime position for a wild card. That is quality coaching. The Bills have plenty of talent, but can't tackle, can't catch, can't count to 12. That is garbage coaching. -
Peyton is pulling for the Broncos and even HE is DISGUSTED
-
GM is fine and stays for the new regime. Just like they have done in Philly, Miami, Minnesota, etc.
-
#3, absolutely disagree. They simply cant. Poyer, Hyde, Tre White, Morse, Gabe Davis, maybe even Von gone. Now is the chance. Flip the coaches, flip the roster, and reset for 2024. They have the opportunity. We'll see if Terry is able to seize it.
-
And yet, I still had more confidence in Chan, Fitz, and ol Steve to do his thing, than I do right now with these jabronis under Dorsey/McD. We keep it close because we have TALENT. It's fixable because we have TALENT. But it will take redoing the coaching staff to fix it. We'll see if/when Terry pulls that lever.
-
This was INFURIATING. My buddy said "bad decision/throw by Josh", but I'm wondering WhoTF is deciding to send our 5'6" WR on an out like that? Harty should be used on either 1. short gadget plays (end arounds, bubble screens, etc) or 2. deep shots where he is burning down the field in a straight line. The fact he was on the field, running that route is gross negligence and incompetence by the OC. This is what Josh means by "I'm just running the plays that are called". WTF else is he supposed to do when the coaches are sending in that player personnel, and putting those players on those routes? He can only audible and call plays on the fly so much. He cant re-design the whole Offense while trying to play the game.
-
i made a thread on this, but wont bump it since there are so many new threads today. If I'm Pegula, the only way McD keeps his job today is if he fires BOTH coordinators and goes back to being the HC running the whole team and working the details. Fire Dorsey, move out of DC. Promote Shula/Brady to OC and Bobby Babich to DC for the rest of the year, and see how it goes. It will at least tell Pegula whether he needs to be starting the search for a new HC, or just new OC.

This team never makes a big stop
DrDawkinstein replied to Brianmoorman4jesus's topic in The Stadium Wall
only 6 points off 4 turnovers, and our O and ST giving them starts in our own territory all night. If the offense showed up to play like the defense, we'd only have 1-2 losses. I do believe the DC needs to be fired but not because of our Defensive performance. And I cant knock any of the players on D who show up and play with heart all the time. Unlike most of our Offense. You want a big stop, blame the dummy who called a 2nd all out blitz coming off a time out. Coaching not putting our guys in the best position to succeed. -
No matter how down I am on the Bills, watching this weekend as Bill OBrien chewed out McCorkle, and Zappe threw a horrible INT on a dumb fake spike to end the game really warmed my heart.

[QUESTION] Your Opinion On This Team Will Change Tonight If:
DrDawkinstein replied to boyst's topic in The Stadium Wall
For that matter, just force some frickin punts and that's close enough. As Jeremy White pointed out this morning, the Bills are currently 25th in forced punts. If that was even mid-tier, we'd have a much easier time. -

Winning proves nothing in this game. It's what they SHOULD do. Just like against the Raiders and Commanders. And like the Jets and Patriots so... 🤷♂️ If they win, great. Let's see you string it together with some quality wins coming up. If they lose, then they are who I think they are. Congrats, McD. I barely feel like even watching this game. -
Totally different discussion, but dont need to blow up the roster. So sounds like, right now, I could see... Head Coach - Sean McDermott Off Coordinator - Kevin Patullo Def Coordinator - Bobby Babich Need to look more into Patullo, and other rising Offensive assistants. Welker is an interesting name, but I'm actually worried his brain might be too scrambled for such a high level position.
-
I'm coming around on Babich for DC. I know they're trying to promote Washington, but I think they're barking up the wrong tree with that. I dont think it's too difficult to replace a DC. The OC is the tricky one.
-
Patullo is a really interesting name to me. I ran across him right after I made this thread. I dont know enough about him or his style, but I think he could be someone to watch. The Philly/McD and Patullo/Buffalo connections certainly help. Leftwich is a great call as I had completely forgotten about him. Not sure what that says tho. And wasnt it really Arians and Brady who probably both had more say in the Offense than Byron? Get a room you two.
