Bills head coach Joe Brady is already showing regret for comments he made on \u201cThe Pat McAfee Show.\u201d<\/p>\n

The recently promoted former offensive coordinator<\/a> was perhaps trying to distinguish himself from former Bills head coach Sean McDermott, who was fired by the team after losing in the AFC divisional round<\/a> to the Broncos.<\/p>\n

Brady appeared on McAfee\u2019s program shortly after his hire and was asked about how he plans to position himself with Buffalo\u2019s players on both sides of the ball.<\/p>\n

Brady tried to convey that his leadership would not favor one unit over another, but the example he chose was one he regretted instantly.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not an offensive head coach. I\u2019m a head coach,\u201d Brady said. \u201cAnd I just told the guys out there, like, I can\u2019t wait for the first practice, to get out there and Josh Allen to throw a f\u2013king pick, and I get to celebrate with the defense. I can\u2019t wait to talk s\u2013t with our offensive tackles who get beat. I need them to know that I\u2019m in it with them now. And it\u2019s not like I\u2019m going out to practice and I\u2019m just yelling at the defense. It\u2019s like, no, no, no. Let\u2019s go, and I want them to feel that.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Brady\u2019s intent was to show competition within the team, the specific reference to celebrating Allen\u2019s mistakes probably was clunkier than he realized in the moment.<\/p>\n

On the \u201cFitz & Whit\u201d podcast this week, which is hosted by former long-time NFL veterans Ryan Fitzpatrick and Andrew Whitworth, Brady acknowledged that he regretted how he expressed himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cI regretted that,\u201d Brady said. \u201cCall BS, I do. That\u2019s gonna piss me off. But I regret that, I\u2019m not gonna lie.\u201d<\/p>\n

He reiterated that while he still wants to support all phases of the team, the phrasing was poorly chosen and not reflective of the respect he has for Allen, who committed four turnovers in the Bills\u2019 season-ending loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to celebrate with the defense, and the only way I can celebrate with the defense is if James Cook fumbles or Josh throws a pick,\u201d Brady said. \u201cI\u2019ve got to sort through that, but as soon as I said that, I was like, \u2018I\u2019m gonna be pissed off.\u2019 It\u2019s gonna be one of those where I\u2019m celebrating, and then I\u2019m coming back, and I\u2019m like, \u2018Yo, what are we doing?\u2019 I\u2019ll take it back.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bills head coach Joe Brady is already showing regret for comments he made on \u201cThe Pat McAfee Show.\u201d…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":723416,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2060],"tags":[10426,103036,214,53,7,212,125,2401,213,3027,12228,872,6,7549,3408],"class_list":["post-723415","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville-jaguars","tag-andrew-whitworth","tag-bills-head-coach","tag-buffalo","tag-buffalo-bills","tag-football","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-jaguars","tag-jacksonvillejaguars","tag-jaguars","tag-james-cook","tag-joe-brady","tag-josh-allen","tag-nfl","tag-pat-mcafee-show","tag-ryan-fitzpatrick"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116000297168065815","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/723415","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=723415"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/723415\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/723416"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=723415"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=723415"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=723415"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
