I would guess no. Josh has probably learned to curl up in his favorite blanket for ten minutes as well, and also take a gentle pause.

Thinking that or Chargers at Titans. May depend on if one of those has a better matchup later on. Starts to get trickier now depending on what teams you’ve already picked.

BYOSS

I don’t disagree that Davis has been very underwhelming. If Gore were activated from the PS to take Davis’ roster spot, we’d have to waive Davis then, correct?

Shawn Hochuli about to take this game over

If you went Colts, looks like you live to see another week 😃

I’ll have what he’s having. Maybe they’re just laying the trap for next week’s game against the Chiefs.

Heading into last season, I ran into a prior Buffalo Bills offensive lineman and asked him his opinion on reasons he was optimistic for the Bills. The #1 thing he said was the change from Dorsey to Brady, which he said helped the Bills running game immensely. I think there is evidence all over that the running attack is as good as it’s ever been for the Bills. That said, I can also see where the passing game leaves a lot to be desired. I just question how much of that is Brady’s fault versus the weapons that he’s been provided. Some are saying even with the lack of talent, he could still be employing certain concept, and the passing would be more successful. I don’t know, maybe that is true.

Would you have not hired him as OC to begin with then? Or fired him at some point? If the latter, when would you have fired him?

So if you were running the show, you would have gotten rid of Brady at some point already, and/or not hired him as OC at all? Just want to make sure I understand what you’re saying.

Yea, I listened to Greg Cosell like you requested. I think there’s a reactionary element going on right now because the Bills haven’t scored 30+ in two straight games. Cosell also doesn’t comment on the offensive weapons that Brady is working with, which I would argue could be contributing to the concepts being used. I agree the performance against Atlanta was about as bad as it’s looked, it was as if the offense had never seen a blitz in its life. We will see more tomorrow.

Well, we will see tomorrow if the Bills offense can get to scoring 30+ like they did the first four games this season, versus struggling for 3 games in a row. I think there’s some reactionary/panic at the moment because of the two poor showings. I also question how much of this less than dynamic offense is a function of personnel. Brady can only work with the players that Beane gets him, and I’d continue to argue Brady has generally been doing a solid job w the tools he’s been given.

Of course I’d love if the offense was never stopped and got a TD on every series. I don’t know what the fun fact of the play calling at LSU or Carolina has to do with anything. He’s calling plays here now and the offense has actually scored a lot of points under his direction, with a lot fewer turnovers than when Dorsey was running the offense. Yea, the last two games haven’t been pretty, but otherwise this offense has scored as many points as any Bills offense ever.

Yea, I do give him credit for a full 17 game season versus all the sudden saying we need an OC change because we’ve had two games in a row where we haven’t scored 30 points. Talk about a short leash.

Scoring a franchise-record in points last season wasn’t good enough for you?

Right, why would they be looking to trade a 1st round pick that they moved up for last season and he balled out in his rookie year? This doesn’t make sense at all. That said, if I were Beane and things checked out somehow, I’d be willing to trade solid assets for the guy. He was who I really wanted in last year’s draft and he’d be at least the 2nd most talented WR Josh has ever played with.

Right, it seems like they’ve been toying with their defensive looks and I don’t even think McD or Babich knows how it’s supposed to work, let alone the actual players. My bet is McD pulls back on some of the more exotic stuff they’ve been trying to introduce and goes back to more vanilla coming out of the bye. If you hadn’t noticed, grammar isn’t the strength of the average poster here 😃

Didn’t the team bring in other defensive “experts” this year too? Seems like they’re trying to install different types of defensive packages mixed in with the traditional McD Defense, and nobody knows where they actually need to be.

Reading this thread, I’m wondering if we’re all the emotional head cases and projecting our own emotions on Josh 😂

How about Bills v Jets/Patriots in Albany area?

If OJ can make it in the Naked Gun movies, Josh can as well

Pfff, and we actually believe this chart? Fake data.

I’m hoping the Chiefs trade us Chris Jones.

This is going to be another level, and not in a dome where there’s an obnoxious Falcons sound system pumping through the facility. The entire vibe of this game is going to be completely different, so long as the entire team doesn’t pop their calves in warmups.
