So Ken Dorsey loses his job why can’t Luke Getsy? I think Flus needs to self scout Getsy’s scheme and see that it’s really not tailored to JF. I know it’s been said before but what will it take? Flus did pretty alright getting the defense ramped up and gelling. Why don’t reporters press Flus during media interviews about his OC and the schemes?

    Say what you will - Getsy has done a good job scheming up a very effective run game despite not having a legitimate QB1 on the roster.

    I’m not saying I think he’s great, but pretending he’s the worst OC in the league is a bad take.

    Dorsey is getting fired because Allen is actually good - it’s harder to judge an OC when they don’t have a QB.

    There’s no accountability. I can’t imagine Flus actually holding a coach accountable. I can’t imagine him holding a player accountable either but I hope he’s at least doing that.

    Getsy should get fired.

    Also firing Ken Dorsey might save Josh Allen’s career or at least lengthen it.

    I was never a fan of hiring coaches from Carolina for Josh Allen. Cam Newton might not have been perfect, but I still maintain Ron Rivera and that coaching staff absolutely drastically shortened his career and prime by having their offense be, Hey our QB is going to lead our power run game with a bad offensive line AND we’re going to rely on deep throw downfield for our passing game despite having no good left tackle and holes up front.

    I think McDermott, consciously or not relied way too much on this. Dorsey was the QB coach for Cam in Carolina and I also think once Daboll left, they leaned even harder into this flawed model of how to use a franchise QB in the modern NFL.

    It comes down to expectations. Regardless of whether it was fair or not to fire Dorsey, the Bills are supposed to be SB contenders. In contrast, the Bears are a bottom 3 team.

    But if Luke Getsy is gone, who is gonna dial up these sick screen passes? Gotta keep him around.

    What offense would be tailored to Fields?

    This is a serious question. I keep seeing this take on here that the offense doesn’t play to its strengths or that is isn’t designed to feature Fields’s strengths, but those are just empty words. What should be done differently? Specific X’s and O’s would be great. Because I keep seeing open receivers that don’t get thrown to, or not thrown to accurately.

      Getsy is more than capable of calling a good gameplan for Fields and it doesn’t involve what Nagy had to do to Trubisky in Mitchs final year.

      The best way to answer your question is to watch the film review from guys like Chase and JT (there’s obviously other guys who are legit). Watch their analysis on weeks 1, 2, 4, 5. The film guys love and applaud Getsy in the 4 and 5 weeks and you see Justin getting the ball out on time. Fields is at his best when he gets some easy layup things and things that are instinctual to him at the beginning of the game. He’s a rhythm passer and his swag shows and the rest of the game he’s able to be comfortable and run alot of the plays that Getsy really wants for his offense.

      I for one am probably done explaining it on this sub. Just too many downvotes and clueless users who obviously don’t care to take the time to read a thought-out response or know enough to have one. Best is to just take the experts words for it while seeing the film

      The best offense designed for fields would be one that gets lots of 3rd and long and then he runs against man coverage with no spy.

      But since defenses stopped doing that. Therr is no good offense for fields. Because he’s an inaccurate qb who can’t get the ball out on time. So chuck it to dj is his best option.

    At this point, firing getsy would do more harm than good in evaluating fields. He’s not learning a new system and playbook in one week in between games, so any replacement OC is going to keep the same system in place. You’re just adding another variable into the equation of evaluating your QB.

    After the season they can evaluate the job Getsy did and see what they want to do. At this point, you’ve got to ride with what you have because you can’t re-do an entire system in one week and expect it to run successfully.

        That’s what the Bills are doing because they have Joe Brady as a QB coach that has previous experience as OC in the league. The Bears don’t really have anyone on the offensive side with any play calling experience at any level.

      When an OC change happens. It’s just what’s dialed up, not a whole new system… there are designed runs that haven’t been called yet, haven’t seen any read option this year tbh.

    Of course Getsy should be fired but we have a horrible org

    Eberlose should be fired too but he’s going to get another lame duck season to ruin another QB.

      That’s why Getsy hasn’t been fired yet, possibly. Firing him in the offseason will probably buy Everlose and Ryan “fuckwit” Poles another season.

    Being at the bills game , don’t know why they went after Ken Dorsey . 90 percent of the broncos plays were handoffs to Williams yet they were letting him run and the defense were letting Wilson scramble and the 12th man on the field penalty was rookie . Allen just did not look good at all , every time they had momentum they had a turnover . I don’t think that loss is on the oc

    Building an offense around fields would be frustrating. A good qb and offense can do multiple things. Fields struggles with screens, quick game, finding a hot in a spread formation. Hard to bootleg when all they are doing is trying to keep him in pocket. You need to be able to beat teams in multiple ways. You need to deal from the pocket.

    First of all, I’m really not in agreement it was a good idea to fire Ken Dorsey in the first place.

    Second of all. Let’s say you fire Luke Getsy, who on the team today is going to run the offense better?

    Third, why does everyone hate Luke Getsy’s offense? Yes there’s a lot to be desired but let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. They’re absolutely bereft of talent. It’s like DJ Moore and the JAGs out there.

      The spacing issues.

      The blocking assignment issues.

      The overly long developing routes.

      The over-reliance on screens.

      The idiotic use of play action on third and long.

      Justin makes mistakes, absolutely. But you almost couldn’t design a better offense to play against his strengths.

      Moore/Mooney/Kmet/WR3 isn’t bad. Our offense has enough talent. I’d like a pass catching back, but that’s about it.

      We actually have talent, our QBs just suck. If we even had say, Brock Purdy, we’d have a top 10-15 offense easily.
