Ok I realize poaching happens when you get good, but can we please not have to replace half our staff every year? Jeez.

The connection of course is Dan Morgan ast gm in Carolina now. Not sure how Josh would feel about loosing 2 OC's in 2 years, likely not very good.
Would likely promote Joe Brady, Mike Shula, or Austin Gund from within if they loose him.

Another free CPR option

In honor of Bills’ Damar Hamlin, ResusciTech is donating 1,000 CPR training certificates
CPR helped save Damar Hamlin's life. Bills fans can now get free training, while certificates remain.

Did Indy fans ever worry about who Manning’s OC was going to be? I doubt it. Josh will be fine as long as the system stays stable at the top.
I like Dorsey, but it’s not like he is irreplaceable. I also highly doubt he gets a HC gig after one year as an OC. But stranger things have happened, I guess.
Jeff. Saturday.
Not that I'm wishing it (for my own selfish reasons), but I'm more than a little surprised Leslie Frazier isn't getting more looks.
Ah, well. Peguals... give the man another raise!

Plenty of people were ready to fire Daboll after the Jacksonville game last year.
I think the offense is doing well this season given the following:
Allen's throwing arm injury
Worse group of WRs than last year by and large
The OL has not been good and Saffold has looked old, especially in pass protection
Dorsey is a rookie play caller
The total offensive DVOA ranking this season (2) is better than either of the past two seasons with Daboll (10 in '21 and 5 in '20).

Bills, Bengals led the way after Hamlin collapsed
While NFL officials insisted all week that they never intended to restart the Bills-Bengals game, interviews by ESPN with coaches, players, union officials and team executives have told another story: Postponing the game was a ground-up decision.
Its real interesting to see how easily ESPN can bust out some real journalism work against the NFL but they won’t do it unless the NFL tries to throw them under the bus like they did with the 5 minute flub.
Very juicy! Watching their collapse into Billsy mediocrity has been the second best thing of the past few seasons. You knew they were done after the Raiders game; listening to Jon Vilma barely being able to contain his laughter while calling the ending of the game was just *chefs kiss*
The rumored dysfunction is the cherry on top. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving franchise

I like Dorsey a lot but I think the one thing I’d change is to put more “fun” plays in. Daboll had creative plays he would call and it matches this teams persona with Allen and Diggs out there just having fun.
The Chiefs do it all the time.
Maybe Dorsey being his first year is more hesitant to do stuff like that. (Although he has tossed in a couple go routes for Gilliam out wide, but he’s no DiMarco)

With as many heavy sets that the Bills use, I wonder if they are looking at him.

Agree with all this. Some of the offensive struggles are definitely out of Dorsey's control, and it seems like Josh has made a few more boneheaded throws (or had them turn into INTs) per game compared to last year.
Where I'm hoping to see some improvement from Dorsey in the playoffs is:
-Improved red zone playcalling, specifically from between about the 15-20. I'm sure some of it is Allen wanting to punch the ball in, but it feels like they've gone too "all or nothing" there with running routes to the end zone. They also often abandon the run game with Cook/Singletary in favor of going totally pass heavy in that area.
-Continuing to prioritize Knox as a secondary weapon, given Davis' and McKenzie's inconsistent play.

I was on the James Cook train prior to the draft. It has been cool to see his growth as the season has gone on.
I can't wait to listen to this week's edition of the Isaiah McKenzie Show.

Meanwhile Singletary continues to have one of the worst fumble rates in the nfl, yet gets all of the “need to take care of the ball” moments.

I don’t have strong feelings about Dorsey, but I’d hate to see us start bleeding staff every off-season. Every time a guy leaves for a promotion like that, he’s likely to take people with him. You end up needing to replace a lot of talent.

I don't get too worried about that. There's always really good people to bring in.
The NFL is full of former head coaches who never had the right situation to be a head coach. Or, just wasn't a head coach. Wade Phillips is a great example of the latter. Brilliant defensive coordinator, but not a head coach.
Frank Reich is available. Kingsbury would be interesting. I assume Frazier is gone. Lovie Smith is available, and fielded good defenses in Chicago and St. Louis.
Not super worried.
