It's interesting to me that McD said after the Cincy game that he wasn't considering anything regarding Dorsey, and now Dorsey is termed.  

That’s not surprising. McDermott never gives any info at press conferences.

Has anyone considered that perhaps this is just who Allen IS and that coaching has hidden it up to this point?

 

Have you considered that another coach made the most of our players while the recently fired coach made the worst of them?

Unless he’s concerned about certain star players

Does firing coordinators mid-season often work to turn teams around?

 

I have the idea somehow that it is usually just the beginning of the end.

Daboll is coming back here to be HC, not OC.  Someone earlier mentioned a McD power play in canning Dorsey.  Josh has a little more leverage than McD, and if this season goes up in flames and Daboll gets canned we’ll see who has the juice at OBD. 

 

I dont think there is any chance McD and Daboll work together again, thats for sure.  I mean maybe I am wrong but that relationship was definitely on the outs.  If Daboll were coming back here, McD would be out like you said.  I dunno if thats what will happen but in that scenario yeah.

Expect Allen to get close to 20 picks this year.  Think about that!

 

If we make the playoffs, who cares ? Just for reference and in one less game, Mahomes has 8 and Tua 7.

Definitely not ideal.  Would’ve been better to at least wait til the bye week but this couldn’t be delayed any longer.  Should’ve happened a lot sooner honestly

Josh hasn’t been the same since he knocked up that barmaid. Being a Dad will put you over the edge. I know. 

So you’re saying that maybe if he goes back, and knocks her up again, it will reverse the curse? 🤔

 

Mmmm, I like the way you think…

Have you ever changed a newborn’s diaper?  Bad things man. 

It still beats watching a shotgun snap on fourth and one, Gabe Davis dropping the ball, and Spencer Brown blocking.

Was that the breaking point for McD?

The Highmark Stadium P.A. announcer and the guy who pushes the freight train horn button should be fired.    

BRING BACK THE ***** STAMPEDING BUFFALO!!!

[Riverboat Ritchie]

I feel bad for the guy as a person but this was needed. 
 

This year at the J-ville game a bunch of us before the game were hanging out up front in stands for warmups  and I remember watching Dorsey some. Watching him I told my wife, man that guy looks nervous. He was by himself just starring out into nothing and talking to no one.  It was bizarre.  Just seemed to be in over his head

 

contrast that with 2019, on field before game and saw Daboll.  He took pic with me and young son.  He was out there talking with players and gave Josh a big hug before game. 
 

Dorsey needed to stay a QB coach longer or too bad the Giants didn’t take him with Daboll. Wish him the best but this needed to happen.

One example was the Ravens fired Cam Cameron mid season And replaced him with Jim Caldwell.

No. I'd do what this staff has attempted to do. Reign him in and make him a better overall QB.  He's not cooperating.

 

If the 2nd or 3rd best quarterback on the planet isn't good enough then the coaching staff absolutely sucks at their jobs.

 

Leads the NFL in touchdowns and the turnovers are overstated.

The vote of confidence is practically a guarantee that a firing is forthcoming.

I don't know the stats, but in this particular case I'm not sure it can get but so much worse. Imo it's better it happened now than sticking it out til later.

 

Reason I say that is because it's early enough that you still have time to make a run so why not since you know all you need with Dorsey, so there's a chance players respond differently for the guy taking over.

[hondo in seattle]

Typically firing an OC in the middle of the season doesn't result in a huge improvement.

 

But as Dan Orlovsky adamantly observed, "The Bills offense is schematically broken."   We've heard other ex-NFL players and coaches imply, or outright say, similar things.

 

That's not an Allen thing.  That's not a McD thing.  That's a Dorsey thing.  

 

Maybe Brady can help fix it. 

 

As a fan, I can only hope.
