  1. You mean 24-24 vs. 25-25 with McD, but yes Playoffs.....
  2. And I blame Daboll more then Allen & that is the conundrum. I wanted to really see Allen's progress this year and what he can do & felt the offense, the playcalling & schemes didn't allow that. Geez 24th ranked offense in the NFL & people are knocking on his door? To me that says Allen is terrible & Daboll was so good at hiding his flaws that he's a genius. If I'm looking for an Offensive Coordinator, I'm interviewing those looking after a top 10 Offense, not #24......
  3. Easy out..... Protect your coaches & in a position of power be able to deflect properly. Still the inability to look proficient on Offense was an issue..... I guess Daboll could show an endless loop of games vs. Miami (and yes the Dallas game too).......
  4. If we can't blame Daboll, then who is to blame? I am so sick of people happy with an Offense that struggles to put teams away, put up 20 points & incapable of passing for 300 yards. The defense was 24th in the league, which I guess is a huge jump from 29-31 the prior two years, but to be satisfied, stupifies me. No I didn't expect a jump like the LA Rams made in 2017, but yes year 2 of Josh I wanted to see a minimum of 5 games that the offense clicked for 4 quarters. Tired of this 9 new players excuse & how some here are so enamored with the Process that they push everything out another year....... Look at John DeFilippo (and no I had no idea who he was either) & how he has got 3 OC jobs & fired after 1 year in each one..... These guys all seem to rebound and some team thinks they are the answer. If someone wants Daboll, good for them & move on..... To me if they are so high on Daboll, then they are down on Allen & think he's the reason the offense ranked as high as 24th, which says little about Allen......?
  5. Actually the Bills may have been 13-3 & gotten a bye & home field advantage...... Got to dream big!!!!!? Get over the trade & where he was picked. He was productive as a Bill (1000 yard Season) & under contract. He certainly was better then Gaines who we traded him for (& injured btw) or Matthews who the Bills replaced Watkins with???? http://www.nfl.com/player/jordanmatthews/2543500/careerstats Boy that was a trade!!!!
  6. Like anyone drafted by the Bills I want to see them succeed as a Bill. When they dumped him for nothing it was an indication to me that the Bills were not going all in. As a Bill, while not to that point living to expectations, there was plenty of upside & all this about attitude is dung. How about looking at Diggs in a playoff game that they're winning & talk about that? As a Bill, if they targeted him like a #1 10X's/game, I'm sure the results would have been vastly different. The thread though is from another disgruntled poster, who lays all the blame on Whaley and the prior staff and their .500 record 2014-16 & trumpets the McD era & their 25-25 record (and wildcard appearances at 9-7 & 10-6).....
  7. The only real good offense they played this year was Balt..... Dallas shot themselves multiple times in the foot, Philly was okay and NE got worse & worse throughout the year. The Defense was very good, but certainly was too a product of their schedule.
  8. I'd be selling stock on this defense. Not sure how it could perform at a higher level then it did in 2019. Even SF 49er's had some clunkers this year, while the Bills allowed over 30 points only once.
  9. Pretty much what I have pointed out. Don't need to read the article, but my concerns noted here were simply that I see McD 100% committed to the Defense & whatever offense the Bills generate is a bonus. I think Allen is the real deal, but I too see the Defense regressing or being exposed when they play a tougher schedule and this could then mirror Chicago or Jacksonville. I wanted to see more from Allen & the offense in 2019, so we could be confident for 2020, but still questions.
  10. Rah rah rah!!!! Wow better call Murph & Tasker, you're their type of caller..... I predicted 10-6, but expected a much better offense & yes the Defense was still good this year. Little did we know in the AFC Pitt loses their starting QB for the season, NYJ are terrible out of the gate, Cleveland & LAC imploded, Andrew Luck retired & Tenn misses 4fgs vs. the Bills and Mariotta is buried following the win. It was a good season as they won every game they should have, a surprising (not in retrospect) win vs. Dallas & that was about it.
  11. Again last three years prior to McD 24-24, McD 25-23..... Yep they made the playoffs at 9-7, while Marrone was 9-7 & missed it.....
  12. I think we know which way McD is leaning...... Fearless will be pushing for a 20-17 win......? I expect the Bills to win & expect we'll be sweating it come the 4th..... That's the worst thing..... A few easy throws to start and please don't telegraph the plays.
  13. I have no problem admitting it..... Three years & no 300 yard passing games.... Well done McD........... Only coach that has accomplished it.
  14. Yep another pointing out one superbowl to defend their position. I'm using yards allowed.... Tenn, Houston & Seattle.... Can play with #'s however you like, but again to pretend Offense doesn't matter..... As I showed earlier an interesting stat was that our Defense too played much worse then average Offenses (League average 20.7 in the league) vs. the Offense played on average the 15.7 strongest defenses). Again skewed by Jets & NE X 2, Balt & Pitt. Again too this isn't fair as every team has different schedules. However the Bills faced maybe 4 strong offensive teams all season (Philly, Dallas & Baltimore?), while also playing some of the very worst (Pitt, NYJ, Cincy, Wash & Den), including rookies & 3rd string QB's (Pitt, Wash & Den) & the 4th easiest Schedule (NE, Dall & Philly had easier).
  15. Won't argue, just will say NE saw us running way too often, so how about that on first down (play action). The ball to Knox was there but not that easy a throw that people keep saying. Many here say keep it simple and they just don't and thus Allen is throwing tougher passes in many situations. Also on 4th they had a TO, should have used it..... As said in watching they looked disorganized once first & goal.
  16. And the worst offense in the playoff???? Buffalo..... Next closest is GB (and then NE who was garbage since November), that had a much tougher schedule & did too struggle, yet somehow Rogers did have 4 300 yard passing games.... How about 5 of the top 10 defensive teams didn't make the playoffs...... Or Three teams ranked in the 20's in defense did make the playoffs.... Yes much has been written about Winston & we know others like Ryan & Stafford makes for easy fodder..... Stop your crusade......
  17. The first down play was terrible & as I say caused a chain reaction that carried through downs 2-4. A young qb needs easier reads & plays. The Duke Williams TD vs. Tennessee was a very simple play.
  18. Anyone see how calm & cool Miami was in the redzone vs. NE, while Buffalo looked lost. Still upset how bad the play calling was (yes a perfect pass to Knox and a tie). The First down call, along with third & fourth, which appeared to be a chinese fire drill (apologies for being politically incorrect). Also see NE's 3rd & goal screen from the 13..... Oh & watch Lamar in those situations (i.e. a mobile QB)..... I do remember a simple TD pass that Josh made in a similar situation to Duke Williams vs. Tennessee, that looked pretty easy..... oops no big strong WR active that day.... Yep I blame it on Daboll (or McD).
  19. I was 95% sure they'd get Saturday and like the 4:30 start (disliked when it was 1:00 on a Saturday).
  20. The NE loss today was significant as they lost the Bye & Also now are on the road if they beat Tenn..... It was a game at home they could not afford to lose.
  21. Jets played their starters all 4 quarters. BTW Foster 3 receptions in 18 targets all season (13 games)
  22. We haven't had a top 10 offense since 2003, got to blame someone & the OC is the only consistent.
  23. When you play to win every game 17-14, it is a razor thin edge. A dropped pass, a throw a little off is always magnified. 10-6 in retrospect was the minimum this team should have gone..... Played two teams with over 10 wins all year and only 2 others that ended up over .500. Daboll & the whole offensive philosophy has been lousy all year.
  24. Pretty obvious to anyone who is not coaching the Bills..... Makes no sense.
