No to Brady.  The guy showed again yesterday, he can't make 2nd half adjustments. Get someone in here with something other than what we have been doing and get Josh some damn weapons already.

He's too scared to let Josh lose a game that it stops him from helping us win. 16 passes behind the LOS.

 

Need to let him him loose and hope we get 3 or 4 games where he doesn't implode in a row in the playoffs.

We should absolutely look to see who else is out there and not just hand him the job, but I dont see many better candidates jumping off the screen, and I also don't knock Brady for some of the issues that come with inheriting a flawed system from an incompetent OC.

 

I also agree with Rousseau that McD is a good Defensive Coordinator and would do well working under a true Head Coach.

I dont know what you were watching, but the Bills put up 368 yards on the Chiefs, the second most this season.  They should have put up 27 points, tied for the most allowed by the Chiefs all year.  And that's with clear DROPs by WRs

 

Brady came in, implemented a very successful run game, and went 7-2.  That's exactly what we needed.  Oh BTW, his only losses were the Eagles (where we put up 34 points) and this playoff game.

 

Brady SHOULD be back, and I expect him to be.

He took the game out of the best player's hands yesterday. Inexcusable.

I think that Joe Brady should get a chance to be the Offensive Coordinator, but also think that we should look at other candidates too.

[Roundybout]

Interview Brady but cast a wide net. I don’t think Josh’s comments mean anything beyond the usual platitudes.

 

Goodbye Phillips. I won’t forget the 2019 Thanksgiving game when you and Shaq mocked Zeke Elliott on camera.

Same season he and Shaq smack-talked the Titans OL into a couple of bad penalties, securing us a win in a tight 14-7 game. Good times.

I like Gabe but I'd rather replace him with someone on a rookie contract

What does that even mean?  Josh Allen touched the ball almost every play on that last 14 play drive

You mean the one who dropped a 65 yard bomb that Allen basically placed in his hands?

They threw 16 (16!) passes behind the LOS and only attempted a half dozen past 10 yards. It was cowardly.

Thought it was all smokes and mirrors but if there was a chance of Bernard actually playing yesterday he shoulda played. Even at 80% the leadership and playcalling would have made the difference of that sloppy mess from yesterday

Notice you won’t find any quotes from Diggs since he declined to speak with the media. When everyone was clamoring to give him an extension a couple years ago, I didn’t want to do it, but understood it made for a happier player. What I didn’t like was that it was a 4 year, $96M extension. Should've given him a 2 year extension/pay raise at most given his age. His MIN contract would be expiring right about now.

I don't think you understand A) how the chiefs defended Allen, and B) the deficiencies of the Bills WR corps in this moment in time

I think the offense issues go beyond the OC and players....this offense has been forced into a box that is our coaches vision..so we won't get an oc in here with 100% control of making an offensive system to his liking...that  alone needs to be very concerning bc no proven top level offensive mind is gonna come here and be limited to how he can run his offense

For about 8 weeks he was the best WR in the League. 

 

His extension was absolutely deserved. Unfortunately the Bills likely extend him again simply for cap purposes. But I expect them to have an out year after 24/25
