Based on his whole schtick of accountability and the gimmick of how he pretends he is: absolutely.

 

The dude has fired people.when he has failed. He's a clown. 

Not defending McD per say, but if the defense doesn’t tackle how is that on the coach?

I'm just wondering if there's a precedent for someone under contract (in any profession) firing themself. There's gotta be one, I just can't come up with it.

What? I don’t see how losing to the New England Patriots and Bill Belichick a last place team in the AFC East today is a good thing in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo

That should be enough to get McD fired.

He put Dorian Williams out there last week and this week and had to yank him. He thought he had enough talent there with him and did not. Rookie was benched twice because he is just not playing well and undisciplined to his assignments and/then swallowed up on blockage. His judgement of linebackers is *****. It was last year when he thought we had the right guys with the likes of Spector, Bernard, Dobson, Ginger behind Milano and Edmunds. He royally ***** up when it came time to figure it out he had to go back to ol' faithful: Klein. Same thing this year. I know he's not necessarily a starter anymore but we know his ceiling and his floor and he's safe so it's ok to have that.

 

At the DL position he runs guys out of gas like in London by running high energy schemes & illusions to be effective. This high octane defense can't survive on a thin depth chart

 

He had Von Miller playing a pitch count against a very talented and underrated Jags team on dangerous turf vs having anyone else at depth to contribute throughout the game when it would be obvious the situation is unique and will be a challenge due to time zones.

 

His defensive backfield is compromised of Hyde and Poyer. Both in their last lights. Instead of being a unique mind or innovative like Dick Lebeau, Wade Phillips, Jim Schwartz, Anuroma, or a several other DC's he keeps using these two because they are the only ones capable of grasping his concepts. A better DC should have worked in Rapp today to help shut down the run as hybrid LB/S.

 

Further his schemes isolate his corners too much and put the timing of the defense as the biggest factor on defense. It used to be that teams couldn't survive 4 seconds with us. Now they can beat us in less than 2. 

 

It's coaching on defense that is an issue. The scheme is exposed, the players are older, the system is not working

Rex Ryan binge drinking the night before the last few games is as close as I know of... Having staff having to help them recover in the morning, etc. Was amazing.

The only good thing to come out of this loss is possibly taking NE out of the Caleb Williams sweepstakes

I’m kind of understanding your points but Poyer had a sack and if i recall it wasn’t the safeties missing tackles or getting burnt. 

[LABILLBACKER]

I love how every loss is a blessing in disguise.  I feel so blessed.

First I ever heard of that. If true, sounds more like someone trying to get themself fired (plenty of examples of that) vs. someone firing themself. 

[Zag20]

The only silver lining (someone may have already said this) is that the extra win may push the Patriots out of a draft spot and they miss out on a generational qb.

[iccrewman112]

This is a blessing if and only if Dorsey is no longer the OC. 
 

tough to do on a short week.

I was replying with a 30k view not just the missed tackles.

 

Tackles are taught preseason.

Someone we all knew told me stories about Rex and what they did.

Wasn't questioning the story, true or not it's irrelevant to the idea that the coach who preaches accountability (don't they all?) would/should fire themself when things go south.

Yet the offense has been terrible for three weeks.  No injuries on that side of the ball

 Coaching is the problem and it has been for years.  

 

Thought experiment: How would Mike McDaniels, Andy Reid, or Kyle Shanahan do with Josh Allen as their quarterback? 

 

Now you see the problem. And he's not going away soon.

Actually pretty reasonable take looking at the schedule.  I think we get swept by the Jets though.

They all specialize in offense , though not D. I agree it appears Dorsey is not a capable enough OC. Or maybe you just mean todays NFL requires an offensive HC to win big ? If so it’s a fair point .

Do you like this team’s chances vs the Jets defense?  Not sure.. still having flashbacks from Josh’s decision making from that debacle.  There is a tone that this fan base has.. this feeling like even if they lose.. “oh don’t worry.  They will be right there at the end.”  Not sure where this came from but I’m not buying it.  This group of guys does not deserve the benefit of the doubt.  Right now, I feel like that had an opportunity to win a ring a few years back.  KC shut the door and the Bills have been declining ever since. 

Yeah, many “experts “ also were surprisingly saying the Bills title contention window was closing after a 13-3 season.  Maybe they knew what they were talking about.

The Loss today may end up being a blessing in disguise. Why?

 

1. they have no cheesy excuse like Jet lag for the loss.

 

2. They didn’t just sleep walk and pull off a win just because they are just that Good

 

this May wake them up and from here on out you get a focused tough Bills team.

 

we probably kept the patriots from drafting QB Caleb Williams, so thats a good thing
