A transparent shower curtain cape at times!

yes I think you could easily argue A and C or B and C etc.

Once a kicker gets the Yips, its over. This guy was great and then all of a sudden fell off the cliff. Maybe it was all the deviant behaviour but he seems to have lost his mojo. Mike Vander jagt is a good example. The guy was superb kicker then wasnt.

The question about what the problem is with the Bills passing offense is like one of those tough multiple choice questions from college/university. The kind that confounded you because you had to find the MOST CORRECT answer. The choices seem to be: a) The receivers are garbage and cannot get open, Josh has nobody to throw to. b) Brady is garbage and his schemes are too predictable and get nobody open, Josh has nobody to throw to. c) Josh has been garbage this season, his receivers are open all over the place but his head is not in the right space and he too worried about throwing a pick. d) The Bills whole offense is based on running, they dont care about passing anymore e) All of the above f) none of the above

Im only half joking!

She is doing a Yoko Ono on our John Lennon!!

This is all stuff we could see in the game. The big question for me is why? Why do the Bills look like they are hungover in some games in the McD era? If this was the early 90s Bills it might be because they actually were! But this group? what is the excuse? Entitled players with little accountability? They didnt study any film? The coaches didnt study any film? Or maybe they desperately need a coach who is going to inspire them with a "win one for the Gipper" speech like Marv used to (not likely). On Sunday I was hoping for someone to get mad. Just 2 years ago we had Diggs getting in people's faces but now we have just a bunch of people on the sidelines looking shell shocked when things are going south.

The loss of Hollins and the lack of use of Johnson has had a much greater effect than most people realize. Hollins was a great safety valve for Josh and had the ability to get open on designed routes and especially when plays broke down. Johnson was a great option for passes out of the backfield. Why they stopped using him just doesnt make sense to me.

I think this game is going to play out like the last one vs TB. With Mayfield running around completing passes and our rushers chasing him like a Benny Hill sketch. I could even see it coming down to a last chance Hail Mary just like the last game. Our offensive game plan? No idea what to expect.

The Dolphins almost did it and the Jets are blowing it up way more than them. Beane has no problem trading with the Chiefs (not division but our biggest nemesis). Anything is possible with the right negotiation skills. And if not the Jets then he should have got help from somewhere else. We have no depth and the injuries are piling up.

Hoecht made such an immediate impact but Ogunjobi has yet to be relevant. Sanders played in 4 games with just 2 tackles before his injury. Getting Williams from the Jets would have made a world of sense last week, but Beane failed.

Thursday night football was terrible and now Monday night is awful too.

I really thought he had turned a corner at the start of the season but that was just a flash. Yesterday on the TD catch he looked like what he was drafted for. But that tipped ball dropped where he made little effort just epitomized him for me.

Its definitely on this terrible crew of receivers. People are not really getting open unless the play breaks down. Bizarrely they make a real effort when that happens. 4 years ago we had several people who got open right away: Brown, Beasley, Diggs and Davis. There was always an option. Now there isnt. Josh also seems to have lost a bit of the confidence in taking off and running with it so there is that split second of hesitation which I think is resulting in more sacks. Did the coaches caution him on running?

At the very least I hope this puts some pressure on Brady to coach for his job. Yesterday was abysmal.

I love all the people on here hating the idea of bringing Dabol back as if he was a terrible OC. The guy had Josh firing on all cylinders, a dynamic offense with swagger, innovative plays and schemes that actually worked. He literally had us 13 seconds from defeating the Chiefs and a clear run to the SB and people dont want that? You'd rather have Brady and his Pop Warner offense? Fire Brady immediately and get this guy back in!

An old work friend was from T and T in the Caribbean. Thats how he used to say "third" like on the "turd" of November. Well that was the Bills Turd of November, hopefully no more where that came from!

Yes that was their strategy. Of course a smart OC would anticipate that and have a plan B and plan C, but well you know where this is headed.

Is Nathan Peterman available?

Easily. Another question, are we going to do anything different on offense to surprise them? Not a snowball's chance in hell.

Ive had that awful feeling throughout the past few years that a better coaching staff maximizes what we have to win. Watching Vrabel take a middling bunch to a higher level so fast just proves it. This current crew from McD, the OC, the DC and even the lesser coaches like STs etc just dont have that.

But Cincy was a good team. Many of McD's stinkers have been against crap like the Dolphins today.

As weird as this sounds I would agree. Our offense looks like one from my high school football team where we would run on 99% of all offensive snaps. When I innocently asked the coach why dont we pass some more or do some reverses, etc he looked at me in fury and replied that it was "too complicated". LOL I guess it was!

We have had amateur hour since Dabol left. Hiring in house was a criminally stupid decision. You saw the Dolphins carve us up with inferior talent at QB today because their offensive gameplan elevates their whole offense and gives them the best of a bad chance to win. Our OC and his gameplan neutralizes our offense and takes away our best weapon in Allen. Beane did nothing at the trade deadline but even if he had, how would vanilla Brady and his high school offense use Waddle or Shaheed? We let go Diggs and then the absolute best for the low money receiver in Hollins and replaced with what? Guys who have had little impact. Its just repeated stupidity that is finally coming home to roost.

Even great coaches lose but they dont lose in the variety of ways that McD does. McD has had at least 7 or 8 brutal losses since he became our coach. Either blowouts (Chicago, Colts) , Incompetent in game coaching (13 seconds), bad personnel decisions (Peterman INT fiesta vs Chargers) or like today, terrible preparation where the team comes out flat and don't look like they have studied any film.
