You may not be far off.. first downs are now a struggle to come by .

Poor scheme , poor design, poor execution. Offense is a complete mess at this point.

It was a very good defensive play. Once airborne , Kincaid was vulnerable to having the ball knocked out. He tried to do too much and got burned.

Yes, plenty of blame to go around. They just aren’t very good right now.

This season isn’t about what the Dolphins do, or anyone else for that matter. The Bills are just not very good right now. The defense ( while beat up) isn’t reliable at all. The offense is stuck in 1st gear for about 3 quarters per game. The Bills aren’t going anywhere right now, even if other teams lose games or fade down the stretch.

Yep. The coaches have effectively neutered Allen for long stretches of these games. It’s not a successful strategy.

I’d suggest ignoring that guy. Not even a Bills fan anyway. Probably not. Best you can hope for is a top flight OC hire and hope McD realizes that the “ complimentary football “ stuff is outdated thinking. Need elite offense in todays NFL.

Turn Josh loose- don’t rein him in. The results are obvious when they do it. McD just needs to realize his preferred style isn’t going to cut it in todays NFL, and with his banged up D. You’re overplaying it a bit with regards to the supporting casts. Regardless, this offense as constructed gets going when Josh runs tempo and is involved in the ground game too. It’s obvious. Have to let it rip with Allen. Maybe, but it’s likely a 4 point game with around 10+ minutes left. I’d like their chances to pull out a W.

I expect just about how they’ve been playing : awful. Mc D needs to be realistic here , before it’s too late.

Exactly . Hopefully Sean sees the light. Soon …

Josh can and does play great in a certain style. It’s just not one that McD is particularly fond of. He’s low risk to a fault. The defense is awful , gives up first downs and big plays routinely. They need a score on every possession mentality and that means more of Josh being Josh. Not handoffs to RBs that run sideways.

This. He probably thinks the other way hasn’t gotten them to where they wanted to be yet- so why not take some of the risk out of Josh and turn him into a more conservative QB? He also thinks it would be better for his beloved defense.

He is what he is - and very consistently too. A WR3 or even 4 at times .

They’re intertwined. I’m not sure if it’s Dorsey who wants to keep the reins on Josh for large stretches of games or if he’s just following orders. I think it might be the latter. McD is conservative to a fault, and I don’t think he always got along with Daboll- who seemed like he didn’t care if the Bills offense ever gave the ball to an RB.

Anyone can see this too. Heck , even Collinsworth.

Check out the one on WAS vs Pats today though. Might be worse. Mac Jones didn’t even pass the ball on the play and then he fumbled as he was sacked. Mind boggling stuff. For what ?

Agree on the first part. As for Miller , he may or may not. He won’t if he’s not playing snaps in games though. Practices are just too soft these days to ramp up to game shape off that injury. He looks a bit better each week, but I still think he’s a month away. This D realistically is not winning any games right now. The 2023 Bills will only go as far as Josh Allen can take them : if they let him.

Miller is a month away from contributing this season. Gotta get him time in games though; practice these days isn’t gonna cut it.

Cool… happy for ya !

Agree. The DK fumble was a back breaker. Great effort by the rook tonite , but the situational awareness was missing at that moment. He’ll learn from it , but it stings right now. They were probably a minute or so away from a 4 point game with a lot of the final quarter left to play. Very well could have snuck out with an ugly win. The D just can’t stop anything right now and takeaways / sacks have dried up.

Nope. Disregarded , yes but not censored.

Wow, you think pro athletes are that soft mentally.. lol maybe fans w BBFS but I doubt anyone is throwing in the towel with 8 games to go.

Yeah, agree. There’s no way I can expect a CB whose first day with the team was Wednesday to be active tonight. An RB or DT ? Sure.

Turnovers - the great equalizer

Yep . They just haven’t gotten it done Vs the better defenses.
