Yeah, well this is one of those fin fans review nof Wingnutz. Now Wingnutz isn't my favorite place but this is boarder line moronic. The wings are "too big"😂😂

Those EXIST?!?!?!

That's a fairly routine playcalls around the league in that down and distance, but go on.

Fin Heaven. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. Except for maybe ChiefPlanet.

I actually am a huge fan of Dorsey's potential. He, IMO, 100% deserved an opportunity to be an OC. I truly believe that the sky is the limit for him. As far as matching the skill set of Allen, I think he's able to do that. Now, my question his can he keep Allen focused on the methodical game plans that they are having to go to with what defenses are giving them? Even saying that, I was against him being the OC for the Bills. I always felt it was the wrong hire for a few reasons. First off, once Josh said that's who he wanted it seemed there was no real effort made into finding the best guy suited for the job. Second, an outside hire may have had things to teach Allen and the rest of the offense that were new and would make them even better. And third, having a neophyte OC calling plays was never a great idea for a Super Bowl contending team. Dorsey absolutely deserved a chance somewhere. But man, learning OTJ at the top is a tough task.

This is a very good set of points. Agree with most of this. In response: - I think "13 seconds" lives on in the minds of the fans and media way more than in the Bills locker room. Players have a history of moving on from such things while fans tend to over obsess. - This point I would disagree with. Over the last 2-3 years especially, this has been easily a top 10 roster and at times been a top 5 roster. The thing this roster lacks is top end elite players outside of Diggs, Allen and Von. However the depth has been absolutely stellar. - Wholeheartedly agree here. Continuity is an amazing asset to have. The trick is in finding the right people to keep around. The Steelers have made it look simple. However, where would we be if we chose to start the continuity trend with Greg Williams? Chan Gailey? - It is hard to win it all. A lot of things have to happen right all year long. On top of that you have to be playing your best ball, with a healthy team and even then have a couple breaks slide your way. - I like McDermott. As a coach and as a person. I would be hard pressed to name 5 coaches currently in the NFL that I'd rather have. This franchise has faced tons of adversity each year and he manages to keep the team together and win games. However, I say the same thing about HCs that I do about QBs. Don't let good prevent you from great. Now, making change for change sake isn't something I would do...but 2-3 years from now if the trophy case is still empty it may be in the best interest of both McD and the Bills to go their separate ways.

I actually buy this. Dorsey has a lot of knowledge and has designed a very complex system to run. I don't think the "X's &O's" are his issues at all. I feel like where he does struggle a bit is with his play calls. Some situational awareness stuff. I think his system, while being hard to defend as it's said above, may also be hard to learn properly. We heard the whole back half of last season the Nyheim Hines was "learning the system". I said going back to last year it seems like Dorsey should streamline/simplify things a bit.

Exactly this. No team can keep up with the speed the Dolphins have. The key to beat them is to out scheme them and the key to that is communication. Knowing that every other guy back there has their assignment, will be where they are supposed to be and what the assignment actually is on the fly. Hyde and Poyer have that together. Hyde and Rapp or Hamlin or Lewis likely do not. That takes 1000s of reps together.

If they have kids that would want to watch a Toy Story type game they likely are up at 6:30am anyway. Little buggers DESPISE sleeping in on the weekends.

I'm almost 50. But hand me $8-9 million dollars and plunk me in the middle of Vegas and I'd almost guarantee I'd make some...."not great" long term choices.

Bernard First 3 weeks Bernard was able to kind of slide off the radar a bit. This week, he comes off AFC PoW honors and is happening to face an offensive minded coach that is really good at play scheme. I think this week we get to see EXACTLY what we have in Bernard. If there are exploitable weaknesses I think McDaniel will sniff them out. A fantastic test. Also, with how Miami's tendency is to pepper the middle of the field with passes and mistiming the run plays up the middle along with the amount of presnap motion they use...this will be a game where a young MLB who calls the defense is the key.

We can have Rapp pick him up from the airport. They've met before, I believe.😂 In seriousness there are 2 reasons I'd love this and 2 reasons I'd hate this. Love: 1. This matchup nightmares it would give. Who do you double? How do you cover them both, out TEs and Cook outta the backfield? 2. It would be an "all in" moment. Something big and splashy and that's just fun. A new toy on offense always breeds excitement. Hate: 1. Never liked Adams. Always comes across as a "me first" kind of guy. Not sure how well that would blend. 2. I happen to have Adams and Diggs as my WRs in fantasy. Really could use them each being their teams #2 guy unquestionably.

I am. I have 2 nine year olds (twins) that are big Toy Story fans. It's a way for them to watch football with Dad and have some quality time together. We're actually looking forward to it. Making breakfast burritos to munch and going to see what it's all about. I think it's a great way to get young viewers interested in the game. It's the Falcons/Jags. If not for this I probably wouldn't even watch it myself so I don't mind. FWIW, Toy Story Josh Allen may be even more fun to watch depending on what they do with special animations and such.

No. No not at all. Hopefully his path for the foreseeable future is improving his mental health and getting the help he may need. People really need to learn that these monsters of the gridiron are real human beings. He's someone's son. He's someone's brother, friend. And he's obviously been going through some real issues. Stop seeing these players as video game pieces.

So, who are you going to replace him with? That's the question most asked when someone wants to fire a Head Coach. Attached is a really fantastic article from SI that discusses who the "next man ups" are for HC jobs. And yes, our very own Ken Dorsey is on the list. As is Joe Brady as a "down the road" name, As is Bobby Babich, Former Bills QBs Thad Lewis and Davis Webb. I thought this was an outstanding read. Ken Dorsey, offensive coordinator, Bills After learning more about Dorsey, the most impressive part of his candidacy is the myriad ways in which he can win on offense. The Bills are one of the most versatile teams in football schematically, and Dorsey, a former quarterback at the University of Miami and with both the 49ers and Browns, has designed a dizzying system for opponents to try to match up against. Dorsey is not tied to one system. The assumption is often that the Bills are a chuck-it offense, but some of Dorsey’s best work, according to those familiar with his system, has come in the intricacies of how he designs the running game.

Only thing is...teams look at film not stat boxes. If he was getting open and was where he needed to be on a play it would show up on film. It wouldn't shock the opposing coaches or players.

Ok. Even classified as a #5 safety...point to me a team with other than mediocre #5 safeties? By your definition not mine. I will agree that coverage is not his strong suit. I see him more of a in the box safety which he is not bad at at all IMO.

He's a #4 safety. Can you point out to me what teams #4 safety can be considered a "great" player?

Logic would dictate that would depend on down and distance. If you're doing it in obvious pass downs the choice would likely be a DT and mix in a 4th rusher from the LB spot if needed. A less obvious pass down and it would depend on what formation the offense presents in.

Armstead should be playing. Phillips is still up in the air but it would be huge if he's out. He always seems to flash when he plays us. The guy is legit.

It may depend on gameplan. If the Bills had set up to use a 3 safety look and had Rapp in that role, they may keep him there and slide Lewis or Hamlin into Poyer's spot. That way you only have to adjust 1 players role as opposed to two. If they Bills are giving 2 deep looks than yes, Rapp will likely be the guy.

Hamlin, more likely. Unless the plan is Lewis at safety exclusively, IMO

Yes and no. First meeting last year Buffalo paid a LOT of attention to him...which allowed Waddle to go over 100 yards. Second game and playoffs game Hill had 69 yards in each (nice) but ended up with 16 catches between the 2 games with a TD. And again in the regular season game with the focus on him Waddle topped 100 yards. So while he himself isn't lighting up the stat sheet the attention he draws allows the other playmakers on the team (and this year Miami has a TON of those) to flourish. His presence alone is a killer.

Fans live and die by a game by game basis. Teams have an idea and play for the next 3-5 years (at least, they should). Last year this same sentiment was used at this point in the year right here on this very forum about James Cook. Look at Cook now. A year in and he's improved his stock immensely. Is being used, productive and is a threat. If Gibbs isn't seeing the field, there's likely a reason for that. In young backs the most common reason is that they either aren't trusted as pass blockers yet or are struggling to learn pass game concepts IMO.
