It seems like everyone other than McDermott and Beane now seem to know better. We’re top 5 in significant amount of offensive categories. We lost some games we should have won. Nothing we’ve built matters? Blow it all up? Fire Dorsey with literally zero replacement options? Fire McDermott who took THE laughing stock of the league who couldn’t sign a C tier free agent to a literal destination for tip tier talent. What the fuck are you people smoking cuz it ain’t the good shit.
We’ve trusted the process, “the process” has turned in to an evolution of the razorcakes meme.
Whatever reasons the staff comes up with for their poor performance and early exits in the playoffs at the end of the day are simply excuses.
Last season we were super bowl favorites, but the team fell apart against decent teams.
First it was 13 seconds against the Chiefs, then it was Hamlin causing the team to “fall apart”, then it was Frasier’s defense and that damn “bend don’t break” bullshit that good teams exploited every single time we played them. Then in the rematch against the Bengals in the playoffs they beat the fuck out of our team. A good team and a good coach would have rallied and won for Damar and chosen to let his brush with death motivate them instead of break their will, the Bills instead allowed it to consume them and were broken by it…using it as an excuse to let themselves off.
As it stands, the Jets are one game behind us, but they currently hold the head to head tiebreaker because we lost to them despite Rodgers going down on the 2nd play of the fucking game against us.
It seems like half of our Salary cap currently sits on IR- some of them potentially done for the season. Von Miller has not looked anything like he did before his injury. He might as well pull a Vontae Davis at this point because him being on the field in his current state is preventing more athletically talented players from being on the field at critical moments. He may or may not be capable of getting back to form, and we’re supposed to just “trust the process” on that happening to.
Meanwhile, our offense is woefully unperforming and incredibly unreliable and McDermott seems content to let Dorsey hamstring the stud QB we have in his prime because McDermott wants “complimentary” football and he lets his OC make excuses to the media about crowd noise as to why he’s not running a more up tempo offense.
If McDermott is going to stand behind Dorsey, then McDermott shares the blame. McDermott seems to be a defensive minded HC and he’s done an INCREDIBLE job managing the defense considering all the fucking injuries, but Defense is only half the battle and McDermott has seemingly ZERO interest in running an up-tempo office and playing to Josh Allen’s talents. Instead he’s trying to turn him in to a pocket passer.
Time and time again everyone talks about mobile QB’s getting injured in the league, but the unspoken part of that statistic is that most of the time those injuries happen when the Mobile QB’s are being forced to sit in the pocket and play the game in a style that’s against their natural instincts.
