Does Anyone Miss Daboll and Frazier?

Definitely miss Daboll. Whether you like him or not, this offense was drastically different (explosive) under his watch.
 

He had answers, made adjustments, and most importantly Josh Allen thrived under his tutelage and tough love.

 

We all knew we were going to lose Daboll. Personally I was disappointed that he wasn't around for a couple more years since things were going so well, particularly the development of JA as you pointed out.

 

And I guess I'm in the minority around here regarding Leslie Frazier. I thought he was a terrific coordinator, and an all-around calm and stable presence on the team. I'm not ready to toss him under the bus just because of a couple of bad moments in big games. That defense was very consistent. Sure, it's more fun as a fan to watch an "attacking" defense, but it doesn't necessarily yield the best results.

 

I would absolutely bet that the coaching turnover has been a difficult adjustment for this team, and we would be rolling better with the other two guys. I would also bet that McD pulling double duty as head coach and D-Coordinator is NOT easy, and a competitive disadvantage. The guy is probably exhausted. That all said, these coaching changes happen to every team and you simply just have to keep moving on and find the way.

Imagine Frazier with this injury riddled defense 😳

Ya no interest in ever seeing Frazier. As much as everyone is upset with mcd this defense was getting turnovers at a record pace when it was healthy. I had enough of the bend but don't break Frazier D.

Both Daboll and Frazier had their detractors.  It seemed most fans felt Dorsey would keep the machine rolling while Frazier's departure was largely celebrated.  

 

Yet the O and D performed better when those two were the coordinators.  Maybe they added more value than we give them credit for.  

No. One can't get a job and the other should be losing his.  No recycling,we need to clean house and find someone to actually get what talent we have to perform and  GM that can find better talent

Offence has not been the same since Daboll left town,  as for Frazier he was a loser and was happy to see him gone

Off topic, but why don't we set up a GoFundMe page for McDermott's favorite charity.

 

We can donate $12 for the 12 men that were on the field. 😀

 

I'd rather swallow some broken glass.

 

Thanks.

After 13 seconds, I wanted the Bills to fire McD and promote Daboll…Josh was at his best when he was here…👍

[Sharky7337]

Daboll yes.

Many have echoed this thought around here ever since Daboll left.

 

Maybe we can get our wish at the end of this year, if Daboll is getting fired.  Fire McD and bring in Daboll to be the HC here.

 

I'm afraid Daboll won't be fired, however.

**** No!   I’d rather have Daboll over Brady and Dorsey but I’d prefer a brand new offensive scheme altogether.  
 

If we don’t win 1 playoff game, McD should be replaced.  Prior to the season, I thought he needed to win at least 2 playoffs games to keep his job, but the injuries in D have really taken a toll on what he wants to do.  I’ll give him that small benefit of the doubt.  

 

Praying for Ben Johnson.  Maybe he’d hire Frazier as DC 🤣 imagine that.

i do not  miss frazier- i miss dabol a bit

[Buffalo Barbarian]

HELL NO

Frazier was way too passive, McDermott is much better DC.

 

Dorsey was bad but it was Dabol's offense which had the same problems we have now - no running game and not scheming guys open.

 

If Brady runs up tempo, play action, better run scheme and pass scheme then he will be a hero.

I don't miss them and most of the board wanted them gone
