Yeah, could be. Or maybe he's just making it up.

Do we even HAVE three LBs?

I think Romo spent time watching Jets tapes. He seems to have a little insight on what they're doing.

Our Cole Beasley guy is Kincaid who's better than Beasley.

Remember, this is the Bills.

0 for 2 in the red zone. And then a damned Burger King commercial. I'm just not feeling it.

Good throwaway.

As much as I've criticized Beane's draft picks, getting Kincaid was a big win.

FG position. No sacks, Josh.

Those delay runs by Cook NEVER worked last year. It helps a lot to have professional football players at guard.

YES! Run Josh!!

Two drops for Diggs. What on earth????

Let's put Von Miller out at LDE and put him up against the air on the right side of the Jets O line. Get him a sack, the first of the year for him

We got a sack??!! Is that legal?

OK, both teams had a good pass dropped. Now let's play football.

Oh God Phillips what are you doing?

Allen didn't drop the second down pass to Diggs. It was right where it needed to be for Diggs to make a first down.

The only reason the Bills didn't keep Singletary (and why they drafted Cook a year ahead of Singletary's departure) is that Singletary's rookie contract was expiring, and the Bills don't want to pay the going rate for top-notch veterans. Like most other teams, the Bills use rookie contracts for RBs to balance the books.

It's an all of the above situation. Both Singletary and Moss were playing in an offense where everything was geared towards the passing game, and the O line was usually somewhere between terrible and mediocre. I have no idea how good the O lines in Indy or Texas are, but since Indy has been leaning on Jonathan Taylor for production, I'll assume that at least Indy's line has been developed to block for the run. I'm glad for both of them as players and as men. They're both in a situation where they have a better chance to thrive.

Essentially Dorsey accomplished what no NFL defensive coordinator was able to do for the past four years: he stopped the Bills offense. But since it was clear that Dorsey wasn't getting the job done, it fell to the guy in charge, Sean McDermott, to step in and get things right. And I think McD's repeated failures either to fix problems, or to own up for mistakes or problems, is what's eating out this team from the inside out. Time and again, something goes wrong with the Bills, and McD NEVER takes the blame publicly. This is exactly wrong. The players won't respect a man as a coach if they don't respect the coach as a man. And when the players see McD continually blaming the coaches on his staff, or the players, each time it happens a little more respect bleeds away. And now the Bills are bled dry. All McD had to do to prevent this or to fix it, was to stand up after another botched play, and say, boy that was bad and it's on me. Thirteen seconds, and 12 men, are now code words for McD's failures, and what happened is he fired the ST coordinator and the offensive coordinator. At this point I think it's too late even if he starts taking the blame for things, especially things we and the players all know were not his fault. If the Bills window closes, it'll be because McD is still the HC. He needs to be gone.

So if Frazier really did just want to take a year off, and step away, exactly what is he doing to prepare to step back in? Does he have contacts with McBeane about how he'll transition back into the team? HAHAHA He quit but didn't quit the Bills. Now McDermott has to decide whether to bring in a new DC, when he's actually the best DC candidate available. But who's going to be the HC? Maybe Frazier! Maybe a complete role reversal is the way to get the team back on track. It's pretty clear that McDermott has lost the team, but the D still loves him.

I just watched it. You should try again.

Dorsey acted like the offense was the Josh Allen show, and the entire plan seemed designed to make Allen the star. That made Allen too easy to stop.

Perhaps, reading between the lines, it comes down to whether it was worth blowing another game to yet another weaker opponent (Pats, Jets, almost Giants and Bucs) in a season that's clearly a lost cause, just to get rid of a bad coordinator. I think it was, as long as this stops the bleeding and lets the team re-find its identity, the feeling it had two or three years ago. If it doesn't, then Beane needs to fire McDermott at the end of the season, and if Beane won't do that, for Pegula to fire Beane in time for someone competent at drafting to grab the reins. The 2022 or even the 2023 Bills would be 8-2 or better against the schedule they've played, looking ahead to the gauntlet of tough teams and figuring out how to get home field through the playoffs. Last year's team roared back to steal a game in Baltimore last year. This year's team, and roaring, don't align. Dorsey spent almost all of last year in 11 personnel. When he DID have a healthy DK1 and DK2 TEs on the field at the same time, he had no idea how to use them, and the Jets stifled Josh and the rest of the offense.

All those plays contributed to the loss. But Dorsey wasn't fired for one loss. He was fired for being really bad at his job. Opposing defenses figured out last year how to slow down or stop Josh, and it's the OC's responsibility to figure out how to counter that. He never has. Let's see what someone else can do, someone with more experience and fresher ideas.
