I’ll give it chance, but I think this is the case of a head coach with a very particular vision. He wants a coordinator who’s inexperienced so he gets more input in how the offense functions. 

This take is based on a lot of illogical speculation, and it needs to die.

 

There's been no evidence that McDermott is this kind of micromanager. Moreover, it makes no sense. His job security, and millions of dollars, is not based on him hiring a puppet. It's based on him finding the people that will bring wins to Buffalo.

 

I guarantee you, winning and money are more important to McD than his ego.

And?

And the system designed for a pocket passing quick release qb isn't a system that is gonna add to the strengths of the best dual threat strong armed qb like allen

So?

I’m good with this IF Brady realizes that throwing to Diggs behind the line or a few yards along sideline is not using his strengths.

 

Brady, Josh and Diggs needs to figure out how to rebuild chemistry/connection

 

Go out and get Josh 2 legit dynamic WR’s in the draft + someone like Hollywood Brown

 

transform the offense into a much faster more dangerous group. Look at Zay Flowers impact in Baltimore. We have the chance to draft similar impactful players.

 

Diggs

Round 1 - Dynamic Threat

Shakir

Round 2 - Dynamic Threat

Hollywood Brown

Harty / Shorter

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'm not sure how I feel about all this but I'd say this is the best way to describe how I feel.

 

For me this is a good thing in following sense - if we don't make at least AFCCG next season or the whole team doesn't look much better than this year, I'll be fully on fire McDermott train. 

[Freak-O]

He did okay so I’m fine with this. Let’s see what he can do with a full offseason. 

[klos63]

Not a terribly inspiring hire. Allen's passing numbers were down,  under 200 yards against KC, Diggs invisible after Brady took over. 

16 passes behind the LOS in the playoff game is not really something to get excited about. 

He's better than Dorsey, but that's a low bar. 

Had to think a lot of coaches would have loved to work with our offense.

as annoying as that was, it was working for the most part. Sherfield and Diggs dropped 3 passes that should have been caught & would have been 125 yards passing

 

it would have been wise to at least interview a handful of legit candidates

Or intead of a puppet, you could insert the word scapegoat.

Worse based on every statistic involving total output (yards, points, EPA, etc). 

 

 

 

Except for their W/L records.  Do those stats consider the rankings of the defenses they both faced? 

[Mojo44]

It’s the right choice. The guy passed his audition with flying colors. The last thing Josh needs is to get used to yet another OC.

[Buffalo_Stampede]

WR Curtis Samuel future Bill. 

[BuffaloBillsGospel2014]

I'm excited to see what his system looks like, he was literally let go because he was too pass heavy in Carolina who wanted a more balanced attack. I thought he did an excellent job with another coordinators playbook with a few of his ideas thrown in. The entire offense clearly liked his style/approach because they turned things around fairly quickly imo.

McD is 5-6 in the playoffs, and many of those could have gone the other way, for better or worse. Marvin Lewis was 0-7 in the playoffs, so I would not say that is the same thing. A guy who wins about half is better than a guy who never won. 

 

Did Marvin Lewis have Josh Allen or did he gave good (definitely not great) QB like Carson Palmer and Andy Dalton? I'll hang up and listen.

I’m surprised he’s only 27.  I’d be fine with him as WR4-5.  It is absolutely CRITICAL we add multiple legit WR’s in the draft

I am looking forward to seeing the team use real screen passes again. 

The struggle with screens because of Allen’s scrambling ability. Teams usually stay in zone vs us. 

[Eastport bills]

I think Brady is the right guy for Josh. He called nice games after Dorsey set play calling back 40 years. He let Josh be Josh and we looked unpredictable and multidimensional. I think Brady will even be better next season.

You’re not wrong, of course McDermott wants to win. His idea of building a championship team is different than what I’d prefer. This team became a ball control offense, that’s what I saw with my eyes, then McD talks about “complimentary” football in press conferences. That told me he places a high value on controlling the clock, rather than building a big play offense. McDermott truly believes he has the best plan to win. He appears to be a great guy and good leader. I never criticized his coaching on this board prior to the KC divisional loss. I now think we’ve plateaued with McD as coach.

He had a HOF QB in Palmer for many of those years. McD > Lewis, and it’s not even close. First it was argued that they were both the same in the playoffs. Well, 5-6 is not the same as 0-7. I’ve checked.

To be fair, we caught some bad breaks and made dumb mistakes the first half of the year. I think a lot of those breaks went our way in the second half. Who knows if we even win the division without the Harty punt return in Miami.
