Why the hell is Diggs off of the field on 3rd downs? We get to see Sherfiled run incorrect routes instead. Makes perfect sense
Where was Kincaid the second half as well. He played sparingly.

oh, look two accounts with next to no posting history.. posting right after one another.. I wonder what's going on here.
I have been reading the boards for years. Just because I don’t post often doesn’t mean there was any collusion for whatever you are implying.

It’s not over until I say it’s over!
As opposed to that 5 game stretch of blown games, they showed today that they could go toe to toe with one of the elite teams in the league on the road.
I will kindly eat crow if I’m wrong, but I still predict, as I did last week, that they will come out of the bye and win their last 5 games. Miami will lose to Baltimore and Dallas and when the Bills beat the Dolphins in the last game, they will again win the AFC East.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome. What transpired yesterday is a carbon copy in close games of McDermott’s tenure here. Yes it’s true, you may be insane.

His drafting has been terrible.
The 2 huge Ks to Knox and Miller are both proving to be big failures that will cripple this team going forward from a cap perspective.
He's done a lot of good as well; I always liked him and supported him, but his record is far from excellent.
And that was the point of my thread. People need to start being more objective. Everything said objectively about McDermott the past three years have now come to fruition. I’m just so tired of hearing the nonsense “beane is a wizard”’ “big baller beane” blah blah blah. Beane for as good as he has been has missed a lot on many things too numerous to list. I’m not advocating for him to be fired, however people need to start being a little bit more objective in their assessment of him. Just like they should have been with McDermott all along.

Sometimes I join this board after a tough loss as a confirmation that while I may be sad, at least I’m not as stupid as some others….
Beane is a top 5 GM in this league. Happy to go into all of the details as to why
That sure is a lot of praise for a franchise that has went to exactly one afc championship with the best qb our franchise has ever seen. This franchise has won nothing since he has been here.

I am with you 100%. I have considered him best thing since Bill Polian, now I am second guessing. Polian went and got Kelly some great weapons and OL. I would kill for a Howard Ballard on OL. He is too content to rely on Josh to do magic and not get him the proper help he needs. His drafts are hit or miss, but I think Kincaid is a hit.
100 percent

Beane is an enigma. Some claim he is a wizard. Others say he has missed out a lot on early round draft picks, has bad contracts, and now has aging and oft injured players on defense. I’m curious to see what others think. What say you?

Big Dubs!
notes:
1. Not perfect, but a damn lot better this week against a very good defense. This is great, but we will need to tighten the bolts a bit to contend with Philly.
2. Bass was awesome minus that one extra point.
3. Rasul Douglas is exactly the kind of difference maker we needed in the backfield. Easily one of the best in-season trades we have made in years. I think we would have won today without him, but damn did he come up HUGE in this game.
4. Shakir has been really coming around this season after a slow start last year. He needs to continue to get looks as he may very well be our #2 WR next season.
5. Diggs quiet today but vs Sauce he did as good as one can expect. Honestly Sauce was great today but we were able to make him slip a few times and it paid off finally.
Game ball to Douglas and Brady. New look O seemingly looks to be much better. A good first week. Next week will be another good test.
GO BILLS.
He should be our number 2 this year.

I’m not worried about the bills. AFC teams will beat other AFC teams and you’ll see teams like the Steelers Browns and Texans take a hit
You should be. Kc Philly Dallas chargers and Miami can score points. If our offense does not get back on track we are in for a long second half of season.
-
I also might add that unless our offense can start scoring again, teams like Philly, kc, Dallas, Miami and chargers are going to be a real problem. I can’t see our depleted defense holding any of those teams to under 24 points. Our offense needs to take the lead and set the tone moving forward.

3 and outs are a component of failure, but the Bills were actually best in the NFL in 3and out rate through September. I couldn’t find stats through today.
schemes and packages are reliant on a combination of factors, one of which is field position. When you are backed inside of your own 10, you don’t open the playbook like you would starting at your own 40. I’ve commented on goal line plays in other threads, but that comes down to execution, and the last one we complained about was a fault of Allen’s. However, that’s a small component of a much larger issue, which is this defense not creating turnovers, pressure, or 3 and outs. And that can directly be contributed to the losses of White, Milano, Jones. Those three being out puts this team in a terrible position moving forward.
good offenses don’t move the ball regardless of field position. The BEST offenses have the BEST chance of moving the ball regardless of field position. And the Bills are a good offense, but not the best. Of Knox is healthy and Allen isn’t nursing a shoulder issue? Maybe we are top 3. But right now we are above average offensively in talent and average in results.
When Oliver is paired with a solid DT partner, he is a force on the line
Agreed. I just feel that a team with an all-world qb that has talent surrounding him with minimal injuries, should be bailing out the defense and not the other way around. The bills at this point should be attempting to win in shoot out fashion as opposed to complimentary football. Precisely because of the defensive injuries. Relying on that depleted defense at the end of the game to make a stop or force a turnover is a recipe for disaster.

Take a look at the field position of the Bills offense before and after these injuries, and then we can discuss the further nuances of the transitional impacts between an offense and defense.
long story short, the Bills have been hemmed in their own territory, with worse time of possession, and as a result we cannot put teams on their heels in any way
Yes 3 and outs will do that. Especially since we like to play “complimentary football”. Opening drives we do well, 4th quarter we start moving ball after trailing. Rest of 1st quarter up to beginning of 4th the offense struggles because we change up schemes and packages. Don’t even get me started about shotgun formations at 1 yard line to be stuffed on draw twice this year, only to end up with zero points. This offense should be averaging 31 points a game. Hit that threshold and we win more games than not. Here again. This is not a defensive problem. Good offenses can move the ball regardless of field position.

This team was 3-1 and demolished their last 3 opponents before the injuries. They were the top defense in the league and had the second highest scoring offense.
But don’t let facts get in the way of narratives
Exactly what injuries occurred on the offensive side of the ball that have contributed to the lack of production? Even with all of the injuries, the defense has performed admirably and has done enough for us to win games. The defense is not the problem right now. I don’t want to hear excuses. If the defense was giving up 30 points a game, then I would say yes there is credence to your argument.

Just more confirmation that he is a dummy who cannot articulate an intelligent response to anything. Slogans, catchphrases, blaming others and claps are his go to moves. He is ***** clueless and often looks that way on the sideline. He needs to be fired. I wanted him gone after he blamed others and offered no explanations for the 13 secs. debacle. He is not a good leader and is not smart enough.
Funny you say this because I have felt the same way throughout his tenure, only to remain silent as to not infuriate the message board

So many have it wrong in this thread...you guys realize that McD is giving you DORSEY's answer to why they didn't run the uptempo right?
All this anger at McD over the answer is totally misguided. Now if you want to be mad at McD for not yet firing Dorsey, then that is fair game. But this answer everyone is so upset about is the answer Dorsey gave McD after they met and reviewed the game.
FIRE DORSEY
And how many times has this answer been given to McDermott throughout the season? Because this movie has been played way too many times throughout the season. Either way it is inexcusable on both their parts regardless.

So let me get this straight. We score with ease the opening drive and then slow down the tempo and style to experiment with schemes. This might explain why the offense at beginning of games are moving the ball, only to become stagnant for 2 1/2 quarters with three and outs. Then in the fourth quarter we go uptempo because we r behind and then by magic start moving the ball again and start scoring. Got it. Genius. And silly me thought you continue to use what works for you until the opposing team has adapted. If not you continue to exploit those weaknesses. SMH. No wonder this offense looks so bipolar. Must be tough as a player to find any sort of rhythm sometimes.

I didn't need 5 years to see head coaching mediocrity. I saw it in Houston, and it's been popping up regularly ever since.
People seem to forget that playoff loss. It’s been a problem for years. 13 seconds should have been the epiphany moment.

Yea that terrible defense forced a quick punt and our offense got the ball back at the 24 lol.
there’s been a lot of valid criticisms up to this point but tonight I think people are kind of losing the plot imo. Against the bucs you just don’t risk turning it over at midfield, it takes them far too long to drive down the field. Against the bucs and eagles and such the same decisions will not be made, those teams can score in a hurry. This whole ‘imagine if we were playing the eagles tonight’ is a moot point
-inability to hold a lead in playoffs vs Texans up 20-3 at half time
-13 seconds kc
-skyler Thompson almost beating bills in playoffs last season
-Tyrod Taylor almost leading giants down field to win last drive
-Mac jones leading New England to victory last week on last drive
-Dustin Hopkins catch in end zone on last play Arizona
-baker mayfield bomb at end of game that could have been caught.
Is this the defense you are talking about? Because it doesn’t leave me with much confidence moving forward come playoff time against better teams. There is a pattern here and it comes down to coaching.

Dorsey called an incredibly good game today. Like very very good.
Yeah lining up at the 1 inch line at the goal line in a shotgun formation only to get stuffed a yard and a half behind the line of scrimmage to end up with nothing is a sure stroke of genius. Same thing happened the week before. Which cost is the game. Don’t even get me started on the defense. Take off your rose colored glasses. This coaching staff is in way over its head.

Actually, I'll give it a go:
Bucs - we're winning. Or, the season is over. W.
Bengals - they're problems run much deeper than ours. We could lose, of course - but I've got a W
Broncos - W
Jets - no, they're not sweeping us. At home. W.
Eagles - I think we lose this, or the Chiefs. I don't think we lose both. L
Chiefs - see above. W.
Cowboys - at home, W.
Chargers - west coast trip, L.
Pats - same as Jets. W.
Dolphins - playing for division if everything plays out as detailed above. Probably an L - but it will be close.
I would love to see it, however I think you are setting your self up to be seriously disappointed. I’m just not seeing it. 9-8. No playoffs. This team is just too inconsistent.

😔 okay let’s say for argument sake they do. (They won’t) what on gods green earth gives you the impression they will go anywhere in the playoffs? (Think early exit or a McDermott defense unable to hold at the end of game). I swear it’s like some of you people have some type of cognitive dissonance or suspension of disbelief. It truly is fascinating. And I do mean that respectfully.
