D. L. Hot-Flamethrower

I hear the fall back plan is calling Carolina for Donte Jackson and his 157.1 rating allowed and team leading 28.6% missed tackles.

They kicked our asses pretty good last year (including the Hamlin game). We need to have a much, much better performance at the LOS to be competitive. Our OL is better with no Bates and Saffold. On the other hand their offensive line should be better as well with Brown, Cappa and Williams in for backups who were in.

The pressure is surely on McBeane like never before IMO. Unable to make any moves seen by the team as helpful, and you risk losing the team more than you've already done since 13 secs.

It's not like the Bills don't have the ability to win this game

Can they both lose?

Ranked 72 out of 86 LBs on PFF

Great Post! The only part that is questionable is the excellent at draft analysis, yes to contributions to the forum without the pomposity and arrogance.

No, and I've never heard of a coach doing what you said, they are however giving support to making very safe calls and playing the game much differently than what got them the lead and trying to put the team away. And, what he's especially saying is to punt the ball on 4 and 2 and fourth and 1. It's very obvious they took gas pedal pressure off and were going to coast and play it safe making the other team drive further.

You can become more informed by searching for this weeks interviews with the coach's

Yes they were more diverse and more energetic. Josh especially seemed alive as did the others who were more involved. McD stifled it with his fourth down decisions and allowed TB to stay in the game.

The lack of going for it on fourth downs costing the team last night has been a common and accurate discussion point today. All on McDermott.

Well excuse me but there was an interview with Dorsey this week where he talked about his involvement. And, another on where McD talks about his role. And, most honest observers have noticed a change in the Bills offensive style. You are just full of yourself as usual.

Oh I must have missed them going for it on 4th down

Not true. It got close because McD wouldn't drive the dagger in and let the offense convert on 4&2 or 4&3 and he was chirping in the headset to Dorsey about playing conservatively. He has become way to involved in the offense. Absolutely 100% correct.

The 3 punts in Bucs territory in the second half were mind boggling. I get one of them, but it was just overly conservative football that has been disproven in the modern era of football. I mean Doug Marrone would punt from the 32, but the guys who win as coaches now have shown that strategy to be BS. Drive the dagger in as the percentages say, do not play the protect the defense, field position game.

Yeah we committed some stupid penalties. Yeah we had some bad bounces. But, coaching made that game way closer then it should have been.

Glad we won. McDermott made the game close.

Are Davis and Elam sitting out for a trade? trades?? Hmmm he's right inactives will be interesting if Norman and Isabella are dressing.

How I see it as well! Although maybe I'm dumb, I still hope they pull something amazing before the deadline.

I could care less nor do I think the Bills should about Derrick Henry. Hopkins on the other hand would make a HUGE difference. I'd save the resources spent on Henry for something on the defensive side.

Great Post! I've not heard this anywhere else and it makes so much sense.

I could tell you a story about Josh's dad being drunk and what he really thinks about Ken Dorsey. But, I won't because that would be in appropriate.

This is the problem, the critics comparing him to Mahomes as if the context was neutral. There aren't any QBs that stand up to that.

No one is above criticism, he stunk week 1, he wasn't great on Sunday. What I can't stand is the people who only understand football through the lens of the QB. What I also find ridiculous is it has to be an either or. There are alot of problems with this team right now. And, trying to fix them requires prioritization. The critics of Allen act like he fixes it and all is well. Not true. That is all.

Nothing on this team is fine. Especially the Defense who was put in a position to win and failed badly against as weak an opponent as they'll see on offense.
