Yes he was benched. PFF (if you're into that sort of thing) for Williams yesterday was a 30. So, justified. However, Dodson was picked on in the pass game and isn't a good player in general, so of the two I would have rather seen Williams make mistakes and learn than a vet and just take snaps.

And they have some good pass catchers. Maybe they are just dangerous enough for the Bills not to play down to.

Here's what I like about the short week being now. Doesn't give the staff too long to over think things. Streamline the offense. Maybe go a bit more up tempo. We seemed to come out of yesterday pretty healthy at least. Will know more later when McD speaks to the media. But all in all this game is winnable.

Short weeks bring quick turnaround. Don't care about last game...GOTTA have this one now. Figure it out.

On offense I'm still in the camp that we need OT help. Both Dawkins and Brown need far too much help and when left alone routinely get beat. On defense, we need a run stopping plug the middle DT. Need to keep those young LBers clean to make plays. Also, we need SPEED somewhere. I remember a couple years ago now Beane talking about Tyreek Hill's speed and said "If you know where I can find that let me know". Funny how Miami has found that speed again....and again....and again...and again...while we limp a 1 legged Von Miller and Hyde and Poyer out on defense that can be timed with a sun dial.

It was definitely NOT Taron Johnson. Gave up 2 TD passes, let the Pats extend a drive with a horrible penalty and missed several tackles. As a matter of fact he was downright terrible yesterday.

Here's a prediction. Jets hang around just long enough for Rodgers to come back. But his 40 year old body came back too soon, gets reinjured and the Jets are without him a good chunk of next year as well.

"The mash unit" had a rough game. Did they not? However it wasn't the players playing in place of those guys that were terrible. It was Taron Johnson. And again, when your claim to fame as a HC is defense and you can't use scheme to get better defensive play THAT'S A PROBLEM! The Patriots themselves were down their 2 best pass rushers and outstanding young CB. But they found ways to get pressure and cover. Imagine that. You also claim earlier that the Bills had repeated 3 and outs and punt after punt. Still haven't answered my question on how many 3 and outs that offense had yesterday. Here's a simpler question...how many times did the offense punt the ball? Hint...it was less than twice. Meanwhile they had 2 long drives.still had 24 first downs. Could they have done more? Sure. Do they deserve some of the blame? Absolutely. But to say they were completely hanging the defense out to dry and the defense is absolved of any blame is an outright bizarre train of thought.

And yet they controlled the ball well on several drives and left the field with the lead. How many 3 and outs did they have yesterday? Didn't seem like many at all. And again I say, plenty of blame to go around. To say the offense is Scott free of blame is wrong. But our 250 million dollar QB didn't give up 2 TD passes and extend a Patriot drive with a dumb penalty either. Our $41 Million slot CB DID. Cherry pick first half stats all you want. The defense still crapped the bed at the end and didn't stop Mac from looking like Brady Lite all game.

Pick up? Sure.And they did just that in the 4th. Played their best when it matters most. They even had a few really nice long drives to keep the defense less exposed and off the field. Left the field with a lead. You would think your HC who is also the DC with a long history of running a defense would be able to scheme around talent and help out, no?

While I didn't think saying I hadn't read your opinions so I couldn't comment would hurt and confuse you so much so I didn't know if you had your head in the sand, the fact that you cannot use big boy words and communicate and instead have to respond by nothing more than an outdated and overplayed GIF tells me exactly where your head is buried. And it ain't in the sand, sweetheart.

I'm with you here. If I'm going to see someone make rookie mistakes, I'd rather see it from a rookie. At least there's room to learn then.

4th and 10 and you have your best weapon in Hill run a 2 yard pattern? Did Dorsey steal McDaniel 's head set there?

Nick Sirianni has such a douchey punchable face.

Hahaha...Eli Apple whiff the tackle on 3

Agree. Now I'm no All-Pro DC, but the most obvious way to stop the push? Win on first and second down. Don't let them get to 3rd and a yard.

I can't say if I'd apply that to you or not as I haven't really looked at what you have said. So without knowing I won't comment.

Even taking his coach speak at face value is a bad look. He's not a rookie coach. He's at the helm of a team that is playoff experienced, Super Bowl hopeful on a yearly basis. Last week there was a quote relayed by the telecast by Daboll. Pretty much said "Well, when something's wrong with the team the coaching staff gets paid to fix those problems." If after all these years the team is regressing and he doesn't have the answers...he becomes they answer to what is wrong.

Taron Johnson had, quite possibly the worst game of his NFL career. While he did still make a couple plays against the run he was on coverage for 2 Patriots TD passes and was out of position badly. Plenty bof blame for BOTH SIDES today. Defense wise, they gave up a fast start (yes the INT didn't help). They allowed Jones to complete 25 of 30 passes and drive the field at the end for the win. Taron Johnson gave up 2 TDs. Constantly let WRs roam free. Poor tackling. In total gave up 29 points to a team that hasn't scored a TD since MC Hammer was a "thing" (at least it seems that long.)

I know where they were. Phillips was waving his arms at the crowd. Poona was unaware he was supposed to play DT as he was constantly driven back into the secondary. Maybe he thought he was the new "Big Nickel"? Settle spent a LOT of time on the ground....I think he was inspecting the turf to see if it was the same stuff they played on in London. No one bothered to tell Vickers he was activated and he watched from the stands.

Donuts, Doritos? I can think of another word that starts with D you should add to your name for this post.

Well, for those that are inclined...firing McDermott likely means a new OC next year as well. Not that is what I'm saying I would pick, but it's the value pick 2 for 1 I suppose.

I would say definitely the Bengals but also possible the Chargers are favored. Even best case scenario, I'm struggling to see 6 wins there to get to 10 unless something drastically different happens and soon.

Here's what ticks me off. Dodson was in for Dorian today and McDermott said in the Presser that he felt they gave up too many plays at the position so he benched the rookie. But we've seen YEARS of Knox and Davis dropping balls and giving away opportunity...neither has ever been benched. Accountability for some I suppose.

The Chiefs? THE CHIEFS??? I'm just hoping we don't get dog walked at home on national TV against the Buccaneers on Thursday.
