I thought we witnessed that last night?? Losing to a bad team at home in primetime, with your franchise QB looking like Uncle Rico and your head coach making middle school coaching mistakes.

How dare you? If Uncle Rico had been put in 4th quarter, he would've won state. Learn some football before making asinine comments like that.

Also, wouldn’t go too far with Allen being a problem:

People going after the franchise QB in a passing offense that didn't make any sense are nuts. Talents like Allen are insanely rare and it's up to the coaching staff to match his level of talent.  

 

Dorsey had to go, I think McDermott ultimately has to go as well because I don't see a path to recovering from these blunders. This is a step in the right direction at least.

You are absolutely wrong on all accounts.  

So the OC - despite being here just a year and a half, is the reason that Allen Has led the league in turnovers sicne he was drafted? It's the reason he has more career fumbles after 5 1/2 years of play than Montana did over 15? He has 127 turnovers in 87 games played. Do you understand how insane that is?

Why are we talking about a hockey player for the Edmonton Oilers in this thread?

He did just get his head coach canned to have the oilers hire his former junior coach

It’s a just a bandaid at this point. Mcd was probably not getting fired at this time. My guess is that  Pegula will give him the chance to turn this season around just like he turned around the Franchise.

 

Of course I don’t see that happening so McDermott will still need  to be removed after the Season.

Not necessarily the "wrong person"...but we all know what he means. McD and him were the problem, McD being the bigger one. 

grain of salt here, spaine has been a problem more than one spot and has direct beef over benching/cut. he immed became a locker room problem

 

i agree with spain, just think hes the wrong messenger

In all honesty, I truly believe Dorsey is being scapegoated.  

 

McDermott, imo, is the problem and I hope he proves otherwise with a hot streak here to end the season and make the playoffs.

 

Also, the players, for whatever reason.. are not executing.. at all.   Allen right there with everyone else.. and I hope he understands that he is a big part of the reason that the guy he vouched for to get the OC position, just got fired because of his reckless and careless play this season.  

 

Allen is the face of the team, and is making far too much money to be throwing the same sideline interception every other game, along with mind numbing plays like the fumble in an attempt to execute a simple handoff. 

 

Guys like Gabe have been put in a position they are not capable of, and that's on the FO/Staff for believing they could do it.  Someone like Allen has needed to be much better this season, and instead, he's been part of the issues. 

 

Having a Defensive-minded HC, with musical chairs at OC due to the lack of offensive HC stability, is also likely leading to Allen's regression. 

Is he being scapegoated?? Yes.  Are their deeper problems? Yes. Did he deserve to be fired? YES. It's not always so black and white.

That's true too. But the play calls suck and there's no flow to this offense.

 

like I said, it's impossible to have flow when you don't throw to the wide open players, miss those players, or those players drop the ball.

Pegula loves McD, and believes he is a great leader of men. You don’t believe me, revisit this post come September of next year, and let me know who is standing on the sidelines as the Bills HC. 

McD is a great leader, but he’s not a head coach that will win you championships.

If I remember correctly:

11 INTs (1st in NFL)

13 Turnovers (1st in NFL)

For those who haven’t seen this video yet, it’s a good watch.

IMHO

 

Dorsey deserves some blame

Allen deserves some blame

everyone on offense not named Diggs deserves some blame

in the end Dorsey was the only thing that could be released today, and if things do not improve the rest of the season McD better be shown the door as well.

 

 

SEEMS like yesterday so many were worried we would lose Dorsey to a HC job after his 1st season as an OC (which I never understoood)

Have you not watched a single analyst coverage or all 22 from the Bills this year? Our guys have been running wide open all season. Allen isn't throwing to them. He's keying in on his first read like a true freshman running an air raid offense.

All the analysis I’ve seen shows pitiful route concepts and terrible scheme. Josh isn’t God.

Time for another players only meeting again?

Joe Brady was the "passing game coordinator" and play-caller at LSU when Burrow, Jefferson, and Chase steamrolled all of college football in 2019. Then he got the OC job in Carolina and got fired there, but they had no players besides a very injured CMC.

also that chode coaching Nebraska was in LITERALLY exact scenario McD was in late last night. lets see what the kid has, Carolina fans werent happy he was let go at the time

Dorsey sucks, which is why he was fired.  

[Cray51]

The necessary move to make.  The Bills are taking the first step in the process to cleaning house.  If Brady comes in and they turn it around, great.  If they dont, I expect McD to be gone, and the Bills become the hottest coaching ticket out there.

 

Something had to give, and this was the first step
