Everyone not named Dorsey is a great OC under Josh Allen I guess.

Brady’s design is asking Allen to be superhuman and do everything, and guy gets the IC job lol.

Well… Dorsey couldn’t do it … appreciate that’s not a high bar exactly

I hate this. I don't necessarily hate that Brady got the job. But I hate that the team didn't even attempt to complete a full and exhaustive search. We're just running it back. McDermott loves playing it safe. It's what holds him back as a coach more than anything.

 

I feel the same way but I also feel at the end of the day that Brady will do just fine.  Our problem is not enough playmaking outside receiver talent.  Beane gets him that and Brady will be a HC somewhere.

I honestly think Dorsey wasn’t allowed to let Josh just do everything and once McChoke realized the season was over if they didn’t run Josh, he allowed Brady to.

If we had hired a young coach who had been the QBs coach for one of the best offenses in football and had previously coached one of the best colleges offenses of all time, people would love this hire. 
 

I get it, I would have liked to see a really exhaustive search. But Brady is a good hire and I bet if a division rival had hired him, we’d be pissed McDermott didn’t do more to keep him 

[machine gun kelly]

Happy for Brady and was a good call.

[Cray51]

The sensible call right now.  Brady came in, developed an identity, and let Allen loose when needed.

 

team played well under him.  Give him the reigns and an off-season to implement what he wants and let’s see what happens s

as long as Diggs + our new WR’s are utilized to their strengths, I’m good with it

I don't like it.

 

Would like a better coordinator for offense

 

Can't wait for the extra tackle and run cook into a brick wall predictably every first down next season

 

They didn't even try

Well Brady was very good until the last 1:45 of the KC game. Then once again all situational awareness, all plays to move the chains and eat click went out the window and we once again choked a chance to go the SB. Hopefully he learned from it and will make us better next year.

[SoonerBillsFan]

Look he is now the OC period.  I pray he is going to punt kick the Daboll offense for good,we need a change. Josh even eluded to being excited for a little change. 

 

I'm not thrilled initially, BUT... I want to see what he can do with HIS offense,and that is only fair.  It's truly the only way to make true evaluation of the guy.

 

I say we get behind him and give him our support.

[Iverwig]

We all knew the job was going to Brady especially after the endorsement of Josh and the rest of the offense. I don’t hate it but don’t like the fact a more thorough search wasn’t done. While there could have been a worse hire made in typical Bills fashion this is the safest hire.

I’d like some sort of West Coast mix. Allen is very good once he’s in a groove from hitting quick passes

We need to have more disciplined routes, end all the option route crap.  And YES, use the WCO concept of always having an outlet for Josh.

No and the poster didn’t ask about the win / loss record. That’s pretty easy to find if he wanted it.

You didn’t understand my point. Many factors why the offense numbers were worse but the wins were more under Brady.

You don’t go to the SB after that win. 

[BigDingus]

At least he wants to run the ball, so I'm excited to see what he schemes up given an entire off-season.

 

Hopefully we target some speedy WRs & grab some more O-linemen.

 

Oh, and maybe bring in a kicker or two just to be thorough. Perhaps hit up some of those YouTube kickers that nail shots 70 yards out, but only in perfect conditions & street clothes 😂

We don’t necessarily know if they did or didn’t. They may have reached out and were declined. We only know who they actually interviewed. 
 

Seeing Brady took over in less than ideal circumstances, he put his offense in position to score big on the AFC Champions, and was consistent that way against many others, I’m excited about Brady getting a full offseason to get the Offense ready for next year.

Diggs dropped off the planet

 

We ran the ball more

 

Had no vertical passing offense

 

No doubt talent needs to be improved but I feel like we just hired a more conservative Ken Dorsey

Did we have a vertical pass threat for the 1st six games ? Asking for a friend

Running the ball did Bills well it seems , and something many of us had been begging for ( well me at least ) lol

[Dan]

I’m ok with this…. Pretty much expected it since we beat the Cowboys.
 

I’m more interested in who they hire as the DC.   We need a new defensive philosophy more than we need a major change in Offense.

McD might have had his hand in that ??
it was an error in my opinion. Even if they scored you give

the ball back to mahomey with time

[Yobogoya!]

Brady seems competent, and probably did more than enough to earn an offseason to design the playbook and get a full year to truly own the offense and see what he can do. 
 

But there’s definitely a part of me that was hoping we’d bring in some fresh blood. Someone with more experience who can further develop Allen as a passer. This feels like more of the same is almost inevitable, but hopefully that ends up not being the case.
