Bring in the three beat WRs, RBs TEs, Olinemen in the league and it won't change a thing if the O coordinator continues to call an incomprehensible game and the QB remains mediocre. You want a trade that might make a genuine impact on the offense? It's rumored Bridgewater might be available. Any change other than QB and maybe O coordinator is just rearranging those ol' deck chairs again.

No one expects a perfect offense, just NFL-adequate, which it's not even close to.

Have to say I agree with all your points and your assessment. I have been feeling this way all season, doubting the coaching, the offense in toto, the D personnel, and the 5 wins. But unlike you, I am not depressed because, in Dennis Greens immortal words, the Bills "are who thought they were." Or maybe Warren Buffett's adage is better: " You don't know who's been swimming naked until the tide goes out. "

Made my morning.

Oh...my...Gawd.

After the all -red unis, ya can't shock me. Don't like it though.

Thanks for posting that rarest of things, an article that actually teaches us something useful.

Hint: The Bills are 5-1.

Sounds like you had a wonderful day and even made an interesting new friend. Doesn't get much better than that.

If you bet the Bills, you lost, so there's that.

A+ for the Defense, C- (up from D-) on Offense, C- on Special Teams. The Defense grade overall for 3 years is held down by the Peterman debacle and the failure to have a decent QB room, and the puzzling attachment to Vlad, Benjamin, Zay and others. However, the 180 change in focus on the Offense since last year leads me to believe McD has "got it" and that the trendline is up. I expect the Offense to be at least a solid B by this time next year. Feeling good about the future.

Have you been table diving?

If I'm conscious at 8 AM ( the games start at 10 out here), I'll watch the one on CBSSN with Adam Schein. Also like their NFL Monday QB.

He's a blue collar guy.

He just seems to have no "football sense." He's like a guy who has seen soccer played but if he plays a match, he doesn't instinctively know what to do.

That is so cool.

That's been true of all 5 games. Could easily be 0-5. Or 5-0. I'm nervous that if this O doesn't get it together quickly that these close, go-either-way games will continue, and you can't count on the football gods to keep smiling on the Bills.

Since their misstep with Wreck's - understandable for new owners - they've been virtually flawless. Mighty glad they're the owners.

If Singletary's injury was worse than expected, I think they'd have signed Murphy so my guess is that's not the reason. Or I hope it's not.

The last two times the Bills opened 4-1, they wound up with a losing record. Does that predict the future? Absolutely not. But neither does opening 4-1 mean they're on the way to the Super Bowl. So long as the offense remains poor, a couple of injuries on the D and things can change overnight. So, fingers crossed.

Thanks for the report, Virgil.

Excellent. And a fine piece of writing.

Not as confident about him as I was two or three weeks ago. Worried about his continued tendency to throw stupid interceptions, the failure to slide enough, his growing inability (or insecurity) to throw the long hall and apparently his inability to see and process the whole field, thus not seeing open receivers enough. Fingers crossed though.

The offense will need to improve immensely. They struggle so much to get two or three scores when they have the talent to fairly easily score 24 each week and to do it earlier in the game. I hope Josh works on nothing but the long ball the next two weeks.

Here's the thing, we don't know if Josh is changing the play.
