If There's No 12th Defender, is Dorsey Still Employed??

[Utah John]

Dorsey acted like the offense was the Josh Allen show, and the entire plan seemed designed to make Allen the star.  That made Allen too easy to stop.

We had the most predictable idiotic offense in the league.  So yes but thank god there was a 12th man.

IMHO MCClappy should of had an envelope with a final check in it for our Smiley in the locker Room. Not only did special teams suck all game and all season for that matter  but then that crap at the end of the game. That’s a fireable offense for sure. Cmon Buf ya gotta do better 12 men seriously??!!

He would have been fired anyway, in my view.

 

For the first time I can recall in my decades of being a Bills' fan I was hoping they lost, forcing McDermott's hand--and giving the Bills some (small) hope of still salvaging this season.  Dorsey could not beat the good teams coming up, or even the average ones, unless the Bills were almost 100% perfect in execution AND also got lucky. 

 

The Bills went scoreless yet again in the first half, as the players were doing the only thing they could think of, and forcing the issue, as the obstacles Dorsey created were almost insurmountable now.

 

One touchdown in the first half, the Bills having to come back, this time at home, Dorsey was done, and clearly, despite his 'confidence', something McDermott was considering for a while.

a very good question, I dont think the OC gets canned after a win, but the guy was a dead man walking so it was just a matter of time...

 

Its fair to say that coach McD has lost the fanabase as he already had one foot in the grave after the epic 13 seconds fiasco...but the bigger issue is...has he lost the

locker-room...

 

as well...come end of season I dont want Diggs saying...him or me.

losing the game was the straw that broke the bison's back.   would have happened soon regardless, it was obvious to me.  

[vanislebills44]

his time had come, is is simple...

d has played well enough for us to win every game

you cannot fire the team

[Steptide]

I think McDermott was ready to fire Dorsey after the next loss. Whether it was the broncos, or jets or eagles etc. 

[BuffaloMatt]

Most teams looked like the were the 85 Bears against our offense. No scheme, no plan and predictable. So, yes. It was time. 

[Chaos]

hard to imagine he would have been fired after a win. 
 

But the OCs job in Buffalo is to carry a two TD lead into the second half of the fourth quarter so the head coach is not put under any pressure to make coaching decisions in the final minutes of the game.  So maybe he would have been fired.

Yup, because we get smoked by the Bengals the following week. If by some miracle we survive, the rams embarrass us at the show where we would be outclassed in every facet of the game.

In a totally different season with a different cap, post FA, post draft, post offseason injuries and prep.

I couldn't think of a more meaningless argument.

[QCity]

If there was no 12th man on the field there would be 1,000+ posts here saying "A win is a win" with many still pretending nothing is wrong.

 

But there was a 12th man out there.

And Dorsey is gone.

And a win is only a win until it isn't.
