McDermott didn’t commit to either coordinator. I think there’s a decent chance 1 will be gone. I think it might be Dorsey

I don’t think so. It’s the whole offense from playing calling to OL and maybe a little Josh

It’s a bad comparison. He’s not Marvin Lewis.

Tomlin has 2 rings

Losing Von was tremendous though. The Bills lost the one guy who was supposed to put them over the edge. You have to have an element of luck to win the Super Bowl - especially w/ injuries, and that loss is extremely unlucky

I agree… there is not way that the ankle isn’t going to effect him. Both Cincy or Buffalo will put forth a better defensive effort than Jacksonville did

He’s not the brightest, considering his own team is also selling tickets to the AFCCG in Cincy against Jacksonville

Yeah very true. It’s a tough balancing act. There were a few balls like the INT that he didn’t need to throw. The Bills were up 17-3 and doing well. He would have been better served moving the chains. Maybe hold off on the killshot there…but you are right we don’t want him not trying when it is advantageous.

It’s a decent write-up but the solution is a bit more challenging. We know the answer isn’t for Josh to simply start dumping the ball down and not take deep shots. He just needs to be a bit more opportunistic

I kind of admire Boyer and don’t think he’s a terrible DC. He knew he was cooked when he played the Bills yesterday so he threw everything he could at Josh. The turnovers helped Miami stay close.

It’s a given they will need to replace Saffold either through FA or the draft. Brown is the question mark. He has been inconsistent for nearly 2 seasons…do they fish or cut bait? In the past they have given prospects many chance to succeed. My guess is they bring in a veteran RT - maybe a small step about a Quessenberry to push him and potentially start if necessary.

Ever notice how NE’s own Wickersham always picks against the Bills? He picked Miami last week…

He was a trainwreck as head coach, though he did have his moments as OC in Buffalo and Jacksonville. The biggest knock on him was that he never seemed to be able to sustain the success that he had. Hitching his wagon to a bad coach like Doug Marrone doesn’t help. Not sure if he has ever lived up to his billing as the offensive “genius.” If his main task is going to be to save Zach Wilson…he’s not the man for the job

Cover 1 recently did an extensive breakdown of the Bills-Dolphins game. For me, it helped change the narrative about the game. 1. Not all deep throws were bad decisions but the execution could have been better. .They highlighted some of the situations when it made more sense for Josh to throw deep in advantageous matchups with Diggs/Davis. He did bypass check downs but many times these were good decisions. The 4Q deep throw the Davis wasn’t a poor decision…but an underthrow. He had a few steps on the corner. The second deep pass was more of a throwaway due to a good play design by Miami. 2. The INT was a bit too greedy but not an entirely terrible decision Brown was open deep but Josh threw the ball inside which helped out Howard. A better ball to the outside might get completed. Here’s an example where he should have taken the check down. Bills were up 17-3 and rolling. Throw was on 1st and 10. No reason to go for the kill shot there. 3. The fumble was Josh’s fault Josh knew pressure was coming and wanted to go to Diggs. Engram dropped back to take away the curl. The hot read for Josh was to throw to Singletary. Instead he pulled the ball down and attempted to get away from Rowe which caused the fumble and TD. If he just goes down for the sack, he doesn’t fumble. 4. Miami’s YOLO defensive gamble worked Credit to Miami. They tried to smother Josh with pressure leaving their secondary vulnerable. They got just enough breaks to make it work. It should be noted though, that it was a bit flukey. Between the INT’s, and drops. Josh easily could have passed for over 400 yards and Buffalo could have scored 40-50 points easy. But that didn’t happen and Miami baited Allen into mistakes shortening the field for the offense several times. It also helped playing the Bills for a 3rd time as they were well prepared to defend Josh on the run - another reason why divisional opponents are hard to play. If you watch the game, you’ll see that Allen played pretty well and made a lot of big time throws. He definitely was not reckless, though I think he could have done a better job with knowing when to go deep, when to check down, and when to outright bail and live another day. He also made a few mistakes which turned out to be extremely costly. But IMO it seems like things he can learn from. But who knows? I’ve been wrong before 😂

I partly agree. I think he has an excellent offensive mind for play design and offensive scheme. He would scheme players wide open in his offense creating easy throws for Tua. As far as a head coach I think the jury is still out. He had some very bad luck with injuries, which is a factor. But then again he went 1-5 down the stretch, losing almost every must win game along the way. Yes he made the playoffs but the team spent a ton of money and draft picks spent on players this season, and yet he was unable to build off the 9-8 record which Brian Flores was fired for. Then there are his antics like “I wish were colder” that just made him look goofy. Someone in the media said he was kind of like Rex Ryan in that regard, and it’s tough to disagree. He is very young though and has time to improve

I was gonna beat the Bills and then I got high I was gonna sack Josh Allen too and then I got high Now I’m on the couch and I know why Because I got high Because I got high Because I got high

I think it’s a coin flip. Either team can win. I’ll say 50%

A microscope by some in the fan base on Twitter and message boards maybe…Beane has one of the most coldest GM seats in the NFL. He’s done an excellent job building the team

It’s looking like 3/5 starters are going to be out this game and while the Bills might not have a dominant pass rush without Von, it’s certainly a matchup they can easier than they could with the starters. Also to people saying that the injuries aren’t a big deal… I would disagree. They could only score 1 TD in the second half and Burrow was dumping the ball off short because he knew the line couldn’t hold up long. Granted, a better DL in Baltimore but still…

McDaniel ideally wants to make the run game a bigger part of the offense. He just doesn’t have the RB or the OL that needs to make that happen. I think Miami is going to use their picks to upgrade both areas in the draft. I wouldn’t say Lamar is inaccurate. He does struggle with deep out passes to the sideline but he can throw a nice deep ball. I’d also anticipate MM to scheme ways to for for him to find open WR’s who with a chance for YAC. I agree that I don’t think happens but more because of money than anything else

Exactly… it seems like the current team (including Brown) has the right approach now. They mostly stay neutral and share information rather than opinion as it pertains to the Bills. They don’t criticize the Bills or their opponents very often. It leads to bland one-sided “reporting” but that is their job.

The scary part is that Mike McDaniel is probably the perfect coach to orchestrate this offense. Unlike Brady, teams will have to trade a ton for Lamar and Miami is out #1 picks for a few seasons. They also don’t have the cap space to sign him to the franchise deal he wants. So I think it’s a long shot but damn….what a nightmare it would be

I always found this annoying and even somewhat insulting to the fan base. We know he’s a Bills employee, but it came off like he was doing damage control for the team. I remember that he would try to defend or talk up any coach or GM that was on the seat including Dock Jauron, Chan Gailey, Buddy Nix - despite the fact their lack of success. He’d go so far to post links to his “reports” in the old BBMB and you weren’t allowed to criticize him. He was very quick to block you on Twitter if you disagreed with something he said - which was quite often when made these kinds of statements. It wouldn’t surprised me if he was ordered to do this, at a time when Bills leaderships was very concerned about their impression and focused on “selling hope.” It just always came off as disingenuous. He blocked me years ago and I don’t listen to Brown much but he seems to be doing a better job with this over the past few years, so maybe he figured things out.

Yeah I have tried that before. It’s a lot of trial and error and it never seems that you can get it perfect, so I just give up. The sync would be awesome. If I had a choice, I’d listen to the Bills radio broadcast over the national TV broadcast most weeks
