I'd take that over McD firing the rest of the assistants, managers, staff, janitors, and concession workers and trying to do it all himself.  At this point I wouldnt trust him to pour a beer properly

I get the same feeling listening to Brady talk.  

 

Yep!! I've only gotten through less than 2 minutes of Joe Brady talking than Dorsey, but I already like him better.  My bias I guess as an English teacher, but just so much more confident as a public speaker.

 

I know Dorsey was super football smart, but his PCs were painful.

Bills 23 - 13

Makes you wonder. Just because you’re smart, doesn’t mean you can teach. 
 

I wonder if that was his downfall. Players did seem to have issues picking things up.

It may be your bias but as a non English teacher, having that type of confidence in something you don't normally do gives me more confidence in what he is actually supposed to be doing.

 

Even as far as putting blame on himself for Dorsey getting fired was something we don't normally hear from any of the coaching staff.

 

Every press conference after a loss:  "We'll have to look at the tape" or "I'm not getting into specific right now" or "We'll keep that internal for the time being"

 

Just nice to hear that "accountability" from someone when that's all they preach and no one has shown it outside of Allen.

Will Fournette play?

Will Fournette play?

Not yet known, but I sure hope so.

I think he has something to offer in terms of being a good pass blocker who can also leak out and catch passes, and also as a short yardage and goal line back.

He has had over 1,000 yards from scrimmage each of the past two seasons and his five years younger than Murray. He is by no means "washed".

Only problem is that Ty Johnson seems to be the primary kick returner and play on special teams, so he may continue to get the nod over Fournette. He shouldn't, though. When was the last time Ty Johnson had a big return or did anything noteworthy on the football field? I think Fournette offers more to the offense than Johnson does to special teams, but...I'm not the one making the roster decisions.

[FilthyBeast]

The more I think about this game, the more I think it a true low point of the season is imminent.

 

Because unless the Jets defense and team has already quit on Saleh, this is the wrong week to expect a miraculous turnaround even if Brady does have a real impact going forward. Could very well be one of those classic 9-6 barn burners with of course the Bills once again on the losing side. But then again the Jets havent scored an offensive TD in 3 weeks, would be fitting if Zack Wilson and their offense magically explodes against this defense.

A couple people have said that Dorsey's O was the most complicated they had ever seen.  How does a poor verbal communicator run a highly complex Offense. 

 

I worked for Bernie Ebbers at WCOM many years ago.  He was a gym teacher by profession who ended up using a bunch of (poorly thought out) leveraged buyouts to make the 2nd biggest telco on the  planet for a bit.  He was the master of the mangled metaphor so no great wonder things fell apart.  That and the industrial scale fraud, of course.  My favorite saying of his was "OK People, let's keep your nose to the grindstone"

Everything else you said aside, isn't that the correct usage of that saying?

What in the Marty McFly? 

Am I the only one weirded out by how similar McDermott and Brady look?

I am told that it is, but it seems just horrible.  have you ever seen a grindstone?

[Sestak4ever]

What has happened to our “home field” advantage? This used to be a very tough place for opposing teams to come in and pull off a victory. For the last two plus seasons it does not seem like an advantage. Is that on McDermott? Where is the pride of defending our turf? Trying to determine the cause.

For the first time this year, I have no positive feelings-- or really any feelings. Just assuming they'll lose.

I'm a realist who many would call a pessimist, but even I haven't gone into a Bills game in about 5 years thinking like this. Now once the game begins, and they show me that they're not looking like Aces, then yes, in the back of my mind I'm thinking "they'll probably choke this one away."

 

I guess deep, deep down, I really am an optimist, because pre game, I am thinking that JA17 will revert back to his superstar performances, and the Bills win in a blowout, no matter who they're playing.
