Sean McDermott sounded like he’s out of Bills scapegoats while talking about Buffalo’s offensive problems
The Buffalo Bills made a startling change at offensive coordinator midseason this week with the firing of Ken Dorsey and the promotion of quarterbacks coach Joe Brady to call plays.
While speaking to press on Wednesday, Bills coach Sean McDermott tried to explain what he wants from his offense going forward, per The Athletic’s Joe Buscaglia. You won’t be blamed if you’re a bit lost with what he’s going for here.

The changes that he sounds like he wants to make read like filler paragraphs you’d find in a brochure at a leadership conference going on at your downtown Courtyard Marriott’s second ballroom.
It’s a bit of uninspiring word salad that doesn’t really, y’know, address how the offense is actually going to get more consistently formidable in Buffalo.
Bills HC Sean McDermott said with the new leadership at OC, he wants the offense to establish a sub-culture as part of the team's overall culture to help foster confidence and energy and focus on doing things they need to do that leads to winning.

Look, firing Dorsey felt like a reactive move by a team that just lost to the Denver Broncos on a special teams substitution penalty.
While some NFL teams wouldn’t be all that worried about being 5-5, the Bills have Super Bowl aspirations, and something was likely coming to change things up.
We’re just not sure if firing Dorsey and trying to implement these kinds of generic platitudes will really make a difference.
This type of explanation from McDermott feels more apt for what may actually help fix this offense.
