Von Miller doesn’t look like he’ll be ready to contribute until around December. The rush didn’t get home. They made Jones - who was just shut out by the Saints- look competent. Simply an inexcusable performance by the defensive players and staff.
I’ll definitely take a division championship. Playoffs are a new season so have to wait and see how they look at the time. Missing the playoffs to get a slightly better draft pick ? No thanks , the Bills have their QB so I don’t care where they pick.
Allowing Mac to have any kind of a game is definitely awful. One of the worst QBs in the league….The Bills aren’t getting the #1 seed. They weren’t even able to get it with 13 wins including a win @ KC. That ship has sailed. The division is definitely still in play.
The K gun and it’s feature of the QB calling a limited package of plays is obsolete in todays NFL. Tempo may be important from time to time , but the recent offensive struggle aren’t about tempo.
The QB is more important than the coach to be sure. Perhaps mediocre coaching can be overcome to a point. Below average coaching ? I don’t think so. That’s where careers are wasted. Dorsey appears below average as a play designer / caller.
It could be , but not guaranteed. One game is guaranteed where they play the entire division. Have to finish in same place within your division to get the others. The team is not specified - just the X place finisher. It’s just played out that way the last few years with Bills and KC.
I think they only didn’t pick a QB because they knew Whaley was a goner and most incoming GMs want to pick their own QB. By all accounts McD ran that draft.
They all specialize in offense , though not D. I agree it appears Dorsey is not a capable enough OC. Or maybe you just mean todays NFL requires an offensive HC to win big ? If so it’s a fair point .
It’s really on the coaches to get it right. They’ve got enough pieces to make it work. We’ll see if they can be innovative or if they’re stubborn. Allen is the meal ticket.
I don’t think Mahomes has rings if he were in Buffalo. I do think if Reid had Allen in KC he’d still have won a couple Super Bowls with him , though. You need the coaching too.
Not happening in season , so why discuss ? McD / staff need to do one thing : get aggressive. Josh Allen is the reason you’ve won games. They’ve dialed him down, not up and that’s a bad move. Their best defense is a good offense.
The Bills have a terrible offensive scheme / design . They need to turn Allen loose. More Allen, more explosiveness, less wasted run plays. He’s their meal ticket. Is it too much to expect to stop Mac Jones and NE?
