They paid him to be a difference maker and make these plays. Not alligator arm them.
The Bills WR’s were so good last year that their new OC changed the gameplan from relying on Diggs and Davis to running the ball and utilizing the backs more and it lead to scoring more points and winning 6 of their last 7 games :-)
The offense really suffered when Gabe Davis and Stefon Diggs were told to **** off huh :-)

The offense in Buffalo's job is to protect McDermott's defense.
This was in a span of 3 posts and 3 total minutes. Ladies and gentlemen I give you staylor :-)

So that's why they run the ball a lot.
Joe Brady is a McDermott puppet.
Protect Josh Allen from turnovers as well. Run the ball with more of a dink and dunk passing game against the typical defenses with 2 deep safeties. That strategy was pretty damn effective to win a lot of games during the 2nd half of the 2023 season. [Reply]
Your ability to be a complete dumbass when you want to be is impressive.

You keep dodging the original point though.
Again, all I am saying is that Allen will have to use his legs even more. I don't see how that is even debatable.

Again, it's not even just Diggs. They lost their 2 best WRs from the last few years.
You can pretend that's nothing if you want, but that's just silly. If Samuel and Shakir were our top 2 WRs going into the season, we'd be shitting our pants.
I'm not even saying they can't be good. My original point that you argued against was that Allen is going to have to use his legs a lot. I don't see how you can argue against that.

Imagine making the exact point that I've been trying to make and throwing it back at me :-)
Oh yea, and running the ball when you have Diggs and Davis is a lot easier than running the ball when you don't have them, but that's another argument. [Reply]

Wow, you are truly fucking reeruned.
Those two posts aren't remotely contradictory you fucking buffoon.
Let me break it down for you:
You're the one talking in absolutes. You are putting them down for a playoff spot today.
I'm saying they have work to do, and it's hilarious that you're putting a team in the playoffs that barely made it last year with a much better roster in a tougher division.
That doesn't mean they won't make the playoffs, dipshit. [Reply]

I asked a big-name NFL insider about Joe Brady when the Bills first promoted him to OC
He told me: "He's not very well respected around the league because he doesn't know how to scheme guys open."
in 2020: D.J. Moore finished as Carolina's WR3, behind Robby Anderson and Curtis…

in 2020: D.J. Moore finished as Carolina's WR3, behind Robby Anderson and Curtis Samuel in PPR
in 2023 (pre-Brady): Diggs averaged 86.8 YPG (WR9)
in 2023 (post-Brady): Diggs averaged 45.0 YPG (WR58)
This is your glimmer of hope that Diggs might not be fully cooked and an explanation for why he desperately wanted out of BUF
Run first and poor passing offense is going to make elite WR's pissed. When you also realize Diggs has to get so many targets a game or he's going to go crazy then this was always going to lead to a breakup.
Mcdermott got his puppet at the expense of losing a #1 WR and taking a massive dead cap hit.
Horrible ownership as Mcdermott should have been fired a long time ago. [Reply]

His last memory was running wide open underneath to extend the last drive only to have Allen completely ignored him in favor of skipping a pass to Shakir in the endzone. But yeah Bills lost because of the missed fg. lol [Reply]
