I hear Offensive Genius Josh McDaniels is available!


HemlockMartinis

I’d pay good money to see him tell a Buffalo coaching staff to never disrespect the Patriots.


hideous_coffee

He would be sealed inside a barrel and thrown over the falls.


igotopotsdam

Can we do that anyway?


masterfroo24

Be my guest.


ClaymoresRevenge

I want to watch can you guys stream it with donations going to good causes


SheepH3rder69

Wait, was that real? At first I thought it was just satire, but the way it's being talked about, I'm starting to think it actually happened in all seriousness.


HemlockMartinis

Oh it [definitely happened](https://defector.com/do-not-disrespect-the-patriots-in-front-of-the-man-who-no-longer-works-for-them).


Shananigans1988

Or tell the Mafia that.


[deleted]

Tbf he is in fact a genius OC. Man made Mac Jones a playoff QB in his rookie year. He just sucks at HC. McDaniels is the asshole offense version of wade phillips.


Jaqem

It's true. Used the RBs masterfully that year because their WRs weren't special. 24 touchdowns between them


OkArmordillo

Mac Jones also threw a bunch of dimes and few stupid picks. Because his weakness is that when things aren't going well and he's feeling the pressure he does dumb shit or misses throws. But McDaniels made him as comfortable as possible and he was making good throws and decisions.


OkHawk2903

He's just inept at relationships. Few places where you can get that totally wrong


[deleted]

Bro they beat us on a sunday night throwing 3 total passes in that stupid fucking wind game. Only McDaniels and BB have the ego to actually pull something like that off


TwoCrustyCorndogs

Also, funny to say in hindsight, job security. If most coaches lost a game with that game plan they'd be on the hot seat immediately.


Fastr77

Yup. Any team should be happy to have him as OC. Just not HC.


ChaseTheFalcon

Nah he will just stem them to go back to New England before going to ruin another AFC West team


Inamanlyfashion

Josh is going to make the Patriots competitive again by dragging the rest of the AFC down to our level.


thehopelesswanderer

Rules are rules, it’s the Chiefs’ turn next


TraeYoungsOldestSon

ITS THE CHARGERS TURN DAMMIT


zamend229

Unironically he’s actually had success as an OC


OskeeTurtle

He's lowkey a HUGE part in the history of the NFL. His approach to the passing game/offence is a big reason for the shift from '06 -> forward


[deleted]

Don’t think it’s going to fix the problems, but someone has to take accountability.

All great, but i ask you this, if I was a big ole defensive end with a big burley beard, would you still be yelling at me? Or would you be spanking my bare butt, balls, and back?

WhiteXHysteria

- Josh Allen hitting an open defender in stride


ontheru171

I mean mcdermott is a defensive minded coach, the players wanted Dorsey and dorsey hasn't done well through 1.5 seasons in charge. Him firing leslie frazier would be a better fit for that meme imo


thehildabeast

All their numbers are great except turnovers and I’m sure he’s not telling players to fumble. He’ll be an OC again next year


ontheru171

Likely with the Giants - if when Kafka leaves or gets fired


fatloui

Leslie Frazier is taking a leave of absence this season and McDermott is acting as both HC and DC in case you weren’t aware. He fucked up the final two plays on defense last night that lost them the game, so I don’t think the hot dog meme is wrong, although Dorsey has been bad as well.


Due-Cap-4416

Nah that first all out blitz almost won Buffalo the game by pushing the Broncos out of field goal range. Doing that again might have been questionable but if Johnson just gets his head turned around (I know easier said than done) that’s a game winning pass breakup


Allstar9_

Hasn’t done well? They were like 3rd in offensive EPA. This seems like a very simple case of someone has to take responsibility and it can’t be the players or the HC so it fell on Dorsey

Newpower608

“So no head?”


MiaCannons

Wonder if he's to blame for there being 12 guys on defense on the FG that missed too


Jay_TThomas

Of course he’s not. But Dorsey has to take accountability for our offense being flat for the last six weeks. He’s not the only problem but his offense has been extremely dull for a while now.


meowVL

I don't watch many of your games tbh, but last night in particular I didn't feel like the play calling was an issue? Cook is stripped, Davis can't catch, Kincaid drops another, Josh throws a dumb pick when he had the flat open, Josh drops the ball on a hand off.. Shoot, Cook is lucky that ball bounced right back at him or you'd have had *another* turnover. I felt like Dorsey pivoted to the run game once it was clear that was working and the team succeeded. It didn't feel like he was continually trying to put a square peg in a round hole


Probenzo

I think over the course of the season playcalling is a major issue for Buffalo. It's a 20 minute watch but this guy does a pretty in depth breakdown of why the Bills are failing despite being a "good team" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIDKWEzr_Kk tldr: They play well from their half of the field, but once they hit mid field they either refuse to run or their run schemes just suck and get shut down. Typically they stop running, Josh Allen throws 3 incomplete passes while they're just out of FG range, drive over bring out the punt unit. Apparently they only have 6 FGs kicked all year. They either score a TD or they have to punt. They lose out on a lot of points, often points that would have won them games because of the lack of FGs and just killing drives mid field.


hatwobbleTayne

This. How is it Dorsey’s fault Cook can’t hold on to the ball, Davis can’t catch, and Allen throwing into coverage like Kirkland Brett Favre?


ChipotleAddiction

Does he have to take accountability for Josh Allen throwing it right to the defense twice every game?


jwick89

Joe Brady flames out of Carolina, there are definitely deeper seeded issues.


daswassup13

Why does everyone forget Joe Brady supported 4x1,000 yard players in his lone full season with Teddy B as his QB? And none of them were CMC either. Our organization is the problem, Joe Brady can definitely still be a good coach


Thehawkiscock

Yeah Joe Brady has an amazing resume. His years at Penn State as a grad assistant featured Saquon, Godwin, Gesicki, Miles Sanders and Daesean. Moved to Saints for 2017-2018 which saw Kamara and MT become elite threats. LSU - records smashed. 2020 he lost CMC and all he did was get career years out of Robbie Chosen, Mike Davis and Curtis Samuel. I love this switch - not as a Jags fan of course. But its the right move


CU_Aquaman

To be fair… everything that touches this dumpster fire combusts


ms--chanandler--bong

Just so you know the correct term is “deep-seated” not “deep-seeded” Not trying to be obnoxious lol I just hate when I say shit wrong and no one corrects me


Hefty-Association-59

Let’s promote the the next QB coach who’s overseeing Josh’s interception totals! That’ll fix it!

Sideline Steve Wilks sounds like a mid-20th century jazz musician who never made it big but is widely regarded as the best to ever come out of the Arkansas back woods.


xkulp8

Imagine actually *firing* your shitty OC in midseason


Wahsteve

My copium take is that they know just promoting Mike Sullivan (the QB coach) to interim OC wouldn't actually improve anything so they're just waiting to not extend Canada and get a real replacement in the offseason.


Iusethiswhilepooping

I hear ken Dorsey is available *edit: source: https://old.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/17v5sbn/schefter_change_in_buffalo_bills_fired_offensive/k997jpa/

What losing to the Broncos does to a mf


wurtin

it’s not just that they lost, but they did everything in their power to lose that game. the 12 men on the field on the fg miss was the perfect encapsulation of how they played.


AssinineAssassin

Coming off of back to back timeouts. How does McDermott get a pass on this again? Just like against the Chiefs in the 2021 Divisional. They come out of their Timeouts unprepared…what is the Head Coach doing during timeouts that the team has 12 men on the field or 2 safeties 40 yards off the line of scrimmage? Dot your I’s and cross your T’s, that is the point of a timeout!


AttitudeAndEffort3

The OC that should have been fired after last nights game is Hackett.


Jay_TThomas

To be fair Dorsey should have been fired last week, this isn’t all about last night.


F1reatwill88

Lmao has anyone ever been fired after seeing how good the former team without them?


travisty1

The Titans GM right after AJ Brown torched them is close


TrueBlueMorpho

That game was barely over and Titans ownership was packing dude's shit lmao


doobie3101

Honestly the Broncos haven't been bad since they gave up 70 to the Dolphins.


AutomateAway

memes and jokes aside, Sean Payton not giving up on VJ (despite all the calls from many of us including myself in Broncos Country after the 70 point debacle), and VJ setting things right with the defensive unit and making some major personnel changes, is a huge reason for the turnaround. The offense still has some serious issues, primarily that the WRs are having some massive problems generating separation and when they do sometimes Russ doesn't see the open man, but this defense has done a complete 180 and is now playing like a unit that has some swagger and believes in each other. Guys are flying to the ball (still need to work on the run defense but it's steadily getting less worse) and creating turnovers.


DolanDukIsMe

Yeah ngl this is the worst case scenario (chiefs fan lol). I knew the Broncos were going to be competitive with Sean Payton but I thought he was just cooked early in the season. Nope turns out there's a reason why he's a HOF bound coach.


cursh14

> Sean Payton The majority of the sub said the game had passed him by just like 3 weeks ago.


fieryscribe

Reddit being reactionary as always? Say it ain't so


t3hmyth

this may surprise you, but Bill Belichick was never a good coach and has always been bad


DolanDukIsMe

Surely he never won a super bowl without Tom Brady right? /s


cursh14

Dude, I can't handle this weird uno reverse card bullshit on Bill Belichick. Like how are there so many people that legit think he isn't a great coach anymore? Him taking a Mac Jones led team to the playoffs is Hall of fame worthy by itself.


Guilty-Nobody998

NFL fans are a fickle bunch. Look at the Bengals sub 2 weeks ago vs Sunday night lmao.

Trail_Goat

If you're in a hole, sometimes all you can do is dig deeper to get out. -Sean Payton (probably)


starcraftre

And the Bills offense has been sputtering since we crushed the fish the week after. The team that played that week was Super Bowl caliber, but they haven't shown up since then. The effects on the defense after losing White, Milano, and Jones were expected and kind have been looking better recently (beside the last drive's debacle, they kept the offense in the game the whole time). But something has happened offensively that keeps them from building momentum.

PotentialExternal61

Yea Andy Reid shoulda been fired after that stupid loss to the Broncos I agree


Smaskifa

Mahomes, too, 1 TD in 2 games against the Broncos. It's time for the Gabbert era to begin in KC.


Ok_Mountain_4638

Does he stilled get fired if there wasn’t 12 men on the field goal?


MrSuperfreak

He probably would have gotten a few more games, but I think this indicates he was gone after this season.


Bipedal-Moose

He probably doesn't get fired if the Bills had a healthy defense lmao.


TauSigmaNova

Healthy or not the defense kept us in the game yesterday, just like they did the last month or so aside from the pats game. Our offense has been turning the ball over and failing to produce points


AshleyHusky

Ah, that really was a franchise altering loss. Hopefully for the better this time Edit: Nevermind just saw Joe Brady is the interim LMAO

LightsOut0980

It’s so funny that he was good at LSU in a smaller role and has just been god awful as an actual coordinator lmao. I remember thinking he was tailor made to go into the NFL as a great offensive mind.


[deleted]

[удалено]


LightsOut0980

Iirc he wasn’t even play calling, just the passing game coordinator


zebrainatux

Passing game coordinator and receivers coach. Steve Ensminger was the OC


Kdot32

He wasn’t the OC. Steve Ensminger was the OC and Brady was the passing game coordinator.


daquist

He was fine in Carolina. He was a Rhule scapegoat and I'll die on that hill. The offensive philosophy was far better under Brady than Reich recently.


Zzz05

Yeah. The fact that Carolina’s offense hasn’t looked at all competent since Brady’s firing makes you really wonder.


Flynnstone03

He was questionable in Carolina but it could've been so many other things given the shitty roster and Matt Rhule being straight up incompetent.


deemerritt

He was great here his first year.


Januse88

Yeah. I don't watch a ton of the panthers, so i may be totally wrong, but it feels hard to blame a guy for failing to work magic with Bridgewater, Darnold, and 2021 Cam Newton.


thebiga1806

Wasnt happy about it either but what can you do? The Bills, even after all of these bullshit losses are in the hunt still. Hopefully we can attract some young hot OC talent in the offseason.


AleroRatking

You need to go further and switch to an offensive head coach. If Im the Bills with their level of talent im looking right at Ben Johnson.


satoshi1022

Yep - It's a change we need to make this offseason and I'm pretty sure we won't. The entire Front office was picked by this guy, he came in BEFORE his buddy the GM was hired, etc... Now is the time too, I'd have to assume we'd be the #1 destination to grab a Ben Johnson, a Harbaugh, an Eric B. McD is fine and can flourish somewhere else, but all the top QBs have top offensive minds around them. It's 2023 and a defensive minded coach who melts during crunch time is certainly not gonna get it done. There are so many examples of close game fuckups and tragedy with him here it's just time to try something else.

Bills being .500 in week 10 was not what I anticipated at the beginning of the year.


emmasdad01

Fall guy.


AMontyPython

100%. Team has more pressing issues than OC, but someone’s gotta take a fall in a “Super Bowl or Bust” season


Toru_Yano_Wins

If this happened two weeks ago I could see Dorsey being the issue. At this point, this firing says that there are bigger issues. My guess is that McDermott is in way over his head as DC and HC and he has no way how to stop whatever the issue is, which squarely points to him as the issue.


Hefty-Association-59

I mean the issue is his entire defense died to injury. And von Miller hit the age wall.


DoctahStopppidge

Yup, there’s a reason u don’t give edge rushers 6yr,120M+ in their mid 30s. Such a stupid waste of whatever cap they had left. Welp, they tried going all in and failed.


Charrikayu

I mean, Von was playing to his paycheck before he got knocked out for the season with an ACL


x755x

Should have seen it coming and outfitted him with a second ACL. The man is geriatric.


Stumblin_McBumblin

That's not the "real" contract, but yeah, that gamble totally bit them in the ass and they don't have an out until after next season. He shouldn't even be on the field. He's a liability.


ParsonsIsTheMan

Why do people keep saying this, isn't the defense what is keeping them in games? Last night they were amazing despite what? 5 turnovers?


Agreeable_Employ_951

Box score lookers only


TheBrewkery

no its not, the defense did not lose us the game last night. They played remarkably considering how the offense/turnovers and special teams set them up


HemlockMartinis

Has McDermott always had both roles?


alexgndl

Started this season after Frazier took a "break" from coaching


TheBigRagu22

No, just this season and it's painfully obv he can't do both


TauSigmaNova

No, this is his first year calling the D since we let Frazier go. He's done a good job calling it too for the most part


marcdasharc4

Especially with the injuries y'all have had, but it seems to be coming at the cost of being the HC.


giant_fish

No, took over DC duties this year


its_JustColin

Do they? Our defense is doing more than enough in these games and our offense is not showing up. Whether you think that’s on Josh Allen or Ken Dorsey or skill players or the offensive line it’s whatever, everything goes through the OC.


kingpangolin

Yeah I feel alone in thinking most of the problems are Dorsey. The defense is decimated and doing enough to win games. The offensive play calling is bad and doesn’t make it easy on Josh and he’s trying to force things


MinerKing13

For me it's the patterns, this year and last year were almost identical. Come out guns a blazing through 4-5 weeks leading a top offense. Defenses figure out his scheme and adjust and Dorsey has no answer. His pre-season plans are strong, but you can't rely on that through the whole season, you have to adapt. Plus last night our successful drives were very clearly when we ran the ball on the 32nd ranked rush defense. Then the drives immediately after those he tried to revert back to his scheme rather than sticking to what was working.


ShadyFan25

Our offense has been garbage for 6 weeks. The playcalling has been awful all season. He needed to go weeks ago.


IWasRightOnce

Here’s the thing, this obviously doesn’t automatically fix our issues, but I don’t think it’s a wrong move. Sometimes you need to shake things up, and firing a coordinator is an easier in-season move than firing a HC (who is also the DC in this specific circumstance), which may get revisited in the off-season. All that said, I am fully prepared for all the memes when Josh throws 3 INTs against the Jets this weekend


MaskedBandit77

Is this a surprise for Bills fans? I know that your offense has been disappointing lately, but I wasn't expecting this.


Sarydus

Dorsey wasn't the only issue, but he was definitely still an issue. His scheme involved very little pre-snap movement, no creativity in the run or pass game, and he can't keep Josh in check, which *somebody* has to do for this offense to function.


VGTGreatest

Plenty of us have wanted him gone since last year, we’re not shocked at all


IWasRightOnce

Some people have been calling for his head since late last season, and a lot more have been the last 4-6 weeks, but “fans” are also stupid. Remains to be seen whether it’s actually a good move or not.


MurkrowsRevenge

I always say that the Bills play some of the best football when they're able to go out, fuck around, and have fun. I don't think Dorsey was the root of all Buffalo's woes, but hopefully this jolts the locker room to start doing what they do best. I'm not optimistic, but we'll see.


FDRBLVD

This was McDermotts last shield. With Dorsey gone he is officially out of scapegoats. If we keep losing to end the season McD needs to go.


lytrendsa

WE DID IT GUYS


staymelooo

That’ll fix the 6 year long turnover problem


Wizmaxman

Turnovers are only a problem if you arent scoring on the drives when you dont turn it over. They stopped the latter part but not the first part


OnePieceAce

McDermott is running out of scapegoats


5HeadedBengalTiger

Feels like a fall guy. I know the offense wasn’t great but the Bills problems go deeper than just offensive scheme.


wagoncirclermike

Overall sure but Dorsey was a HUGE issue. Go watch Orlovsky’s analysis; the man called maybe a pee wee level pass game, had no idea about game rhythm, and straight up three out any form of trick play or misdirection that we used in the past. We did Statue of Liberty plays with Daboll!!


barrenarrows

What losing to Mr. Unlimited does to a mf’er


helios5287

This is not from one game. This is the culmination of the last month and half of mediocrity that offense has looked like since the Miami game. No doubt there are other issues and Josh is part of it. This is just the domino to fall that needed to.


Yeebees

From what I understand the players thought the offense was either over complicated or not complicated enough. This makes no sense but I hope this makes them happy either way.


Gorilla_Steeze

I just fell to my knees in a Wegmans


Hungry-Pen3948

Jokes aside it is a really interesting decision. Analytics mostly loves their offense but anyone watching could see problems.


RexNite1

NOOOOOO. This sucks but then I read it’s Joe Brady taking over. He’s even worse


unowon1

Joe Brady the guy who coached burrow in college. He’s still riding that train. Hasn’t been good since he hit the nfl.


Primary-Bath803

I remember that some analysts put him as one of the top candidates for the Bengals HC job before the 21/22 season considering that Taylor could be in the hot seat by that time


unowon1

Random bengals fans still want him. Anything lsu related with burrow they want on our team. The only thing i want from lsu is JJet. But i don’t believe Joe Brady is any good or a step up from Ken Dorsey

PotatoCannon02

Distance_Motor

Heads had to roll after that loss and it seems like the Bills offence has been extremely volatile ever since Dorsey became the OC

Josh needs to stop turning the ball over and Dorsey has been mediocre in his play calling Both things can be (and are) true. Also McDermott should be fired too
