I agree with this completely, and regret that it’s been down voted by others.
McDermott changed the culture in this Organization and made us a destination that Elite athletes want to come to. That has earned him a bit of leeway in my book- not an infinite amount, but enough for another season at least. As long as he’s working on the problems that continue to stand between this team and its goal(winning the Super Bowl) I think we need to keep him around until the end of next year at least.
Right now, the biggest problem that needs to be addressed IS the offense. Frankly, Dorsey has no business running an offense in this league. Rather than using Josh Allen’s skillset and playing to his talents, they’ve been trying to pigeon-hole him into the role of a pocket passer.
In doing so, Dorsey’s been removing one of his biggest threats from the game- his mobility. When him functioning as the pocket passer they want fails, and the team gets behind in the score- then they start letting go of the reins and he starts making plays, but by then it’s often too late.
The next week, the offense start off with an unrestrained Josh Allen- he marches down the field and easily puts up points. And then on the next offensive possession, they start applying the brakes and his performance takes a hit, it’s borderline intolerable to watch it happen time and time again. If McDermott ISN’T deliberately telling Dorsey to do this, then Dorsey needs to be terminated for sabotaging the fucking team. If McDermott IS telling Dorsey to do this, then that good will and leeway I think McDermott’s earned ends at the end of this season- at least as far as I’m concerned.
