I think it's complicated because there are a million options the receivers can take on their routes depending on what the defense shows. The problem is that Allen and the WR have to see the same thing. It's simple and predictable because we seem to just line up and go. No motion, no jet sweeps, no mixing it up with different types of running plays. It requires perfection from the players to run well, which isn't reasonable.

I’m of the opinion we should be given the win based on this egregious cheating.

Maybe the offensive coordinator and scheme stinks, and the small success Allen has was despite that. It’s possible…

Edge rusher is also a big hole if Miller doesn’t return to form and we elect to not re-sign Epenesa. We have Rousseau, Jonathan, and Miller signed for next year.

I think 5-2 would do it. But that is very unlikely considering how bad we look.

He called a high-low concept where a WR runs an out to the sideline like 15 yards down the field and another WR or TE runs an out 5 yards down the field. It makes the DB have to choose to cover one of them and Allen is supposed to throw to the other one. They run it like 5 times a game and it has led to a bunch of INTs. I think defenses have figured it out.

McDermott is coaching for his job now. If it is anything like how he handles high pressure game situations, it isn’t going to be pretty.

Tell that to P. Manning, Brees and Stafford.

The Sabres have better odds of making the playoffs than the Bills right now.

O game plan should have been more run heavy considering the Broncos have a terrible run defense and we were churning out yards. Same for the Bengals game the week prior (Motor just tore them up this week). One of Dorsey’s problems was he would just run his offense and think that should be enough.

Tomlin jokes around a lot more. McDermott is always such a sourpuss.

That math isn’t mathing for me. Doesn’t every game decided by one score or less have both a winner and a loser? How could the entire league minus two teams have a losing record in such games?

We also had 12 men on the field last year vs the Vikings, it just didn’t get called. Coaches are not good.

Is 7-10 good enough to make the playoffs? Because that is what our record is going to be.

It’s implied

I don’t have a specific example, but I really doubt that’s true. A lot of trash QBs all over the league throwing away games every week. Burrow had a historically bad 3-4 first games this year, so how about him? Lamar Jackson gave the game away to the Browns this week with a pick 6. Mahomes gifted the Dolphins a sack fumble last week that led to a TD. I think we just have very high expectations for Allen (rightfully so).

Best case scenario would have been incomplete pass. Shouldn’t have been a fumble because his butt hit.

They will save firing Dorsey until the off-season. That way he can be the scapegoat and this can be their “move” to make everything better for 2024. If they fire him during the season they will have already played that card. After next season they will be out of scape goats.

This is spot on. Next season is going to be a reset, and the goal will be fighting and clawing for a wild card spot. The roster is going to be rough, and we will not be the more talented team most weeks.

Defense is going to be gutted next season. We are already over the cap and… Defensive lineman signed for next year: - Von Miller (big question mark) - Ed Oliver - Kingsley Jonathan And then we have our secondary… - Tre White, cut candidate - Poyer, cut candidate - Elam, healthy scratch - Benford - Douglas - Taron Johnson - Siran Neal - Hamlin, cut candidate So we will have one DT, possibly zero starting DE depending on Miller, zero safeties, and zero CB depth behind Douglas and Benford. On offense Gabe Davis will probably walk. Morse may retire, but we can probably plug in Bates there. Top three picks might be defense just to get warm bodies to put on the field. Also we went offense top two picks last year.

Do they really think people are going to shell out tens of thousands of dollars for private seat licenses for a 7-10 team? Pegula needs to get people excited somehow. Funding the new stadium depends on it.

Roster is in trouble next year. I could see Gabe, Morse, Hyde, Poyer, and Tre White all gone. Phillips, Lawson, AJ Epenesa I think are FA. Von Miller is totally ineffective right now to the point where he isn’t even making tackles. Who knows how he’ll be next year. And we’re already going to be over the cap. Missing a bunch of starters we need to replace. Hate to say it, but it might be a “re-tool” year to eat some dead cap and hope for the best.

It’s possible that the coaching has failed to develop and use what he’s brought in, but his track record doesn’t look great in hindsight. A lot of draft busts, a lot of bad/failed FA signings. I’m not even talking about Miller which has failed pretty bad (but that was a calculated risk and we got burned).

Johnson is a slot corner. He’s no match for Jeudy going up the field like that. He had to be ready for the quick slant for a first down, which was a much more likely play to be completed based on the defense. That would have allowed the Broncos to get it in FG range and spike it.

One moment I haven’t seen commented on was Epenesa missing the strip sack on the first cover zero blitz. He rushed on the blind side and Wilson had no idea he was about to be hit and the ball was just hanging out there. A tiny bit more awareness and he could have popped it out no problem.
