Depends on what version of this offense you're talking about. Are you talking about the pre-bye week offense or what we've seen post-bye?

I'm sure the weather was a big factor yesterday. That much was obvious, but as he pointed out, over the last month, the Bills are averaging 4 yards on 1st down. Most 2nd downs end either with an incompletion or a run for almost no gain, which sets up the predictable 3rd and long for Josh to have to make the "third and hope" happen.

I have to agree with Josh being very conservative. I don't know if the red zone turnover thing has been haunting him or if it's being beaten into his head not to make those throws, but he did have the endzone toss last week to Davis that would normally not be considered a wise throw. I do agree though, it seems Josh is either not wanting to pull the trigger or he's just not seeing the open receiver. In a re-do today, I don't think Josh ever attempts that game winner to Knox against KC and I'm sure a bunch of others we saw earlier in the year.

The part I don't get is that basically all the way up to the bye week, they looked almost unstoppable offensively. Did teams figure us out? Did we change something? Is it just poor execution? It's almost a night and day difference it seems at times.

I don't like admitting it, but he makes fair points. We are in 3rd and long far too often. The O-line is not doing a great job and much of our offense is Josh creating on the fly, not executing the plays as designed because he either doesn't have time, or isn't finding an open receiver. Outside of Josh and Diggs who has any confidence in anyone else in this offense? I'd say Motor, but he needs the blocking to be there and for the most part, it's not. http://www.espn.com/video/clip?id=35237773

And several weren't just simple drops either. They were drive killers. Gotta clean that up. Yeah, I'm looking at you, Dirty.

So, do you think it's a matter of a bad offensive design or simply lack of execution (drops, poor blocking, etc)? Considering how they played all the way up until the bye week, does it make sense to say there's something wrong with the offensive style or philosophy?

When they're winning?

I seriously think he runs out of things to say, so to avoid silence, he says the first dumb thing that pops into his head.

Heart attack Chargers

If they aren't watching this game film, they deserve to lose.

They've absolutely dominated this game other than the fumble return and that play and they're only up by 3 now.

Chargers gonna find a way to lose as usual.

I'll take what I've seen from Elam over what we've gotten out of Jackson the last several games any day. Teams clearly go into games with the mindset that they can pick on Dane easy and often.

The new stadium should help mitigate the winds, but they'll still have to deal with the rain / snow. Anyone who prefers that with this offense is only looking at things through the lens of nostalgia.

Some people still think it's 30 years ago when Kelly and Co were smacking teams around in the snow. That weather and this offense are not a good combination.

Any more word on Diggs coming out of the game? Do people realize that if Diggs were to miss time, there's nothing on this team that strikes fear into opposing defenses except JA17?

Never understood the fans who said the Buffalo weather is an advantage for us. Maybe 30 years ago when we had an O-line and Thurman Thomas, but not this offense.

We'll find out.

He gave them the best shot at tying the game. You don't mess around with head injuries like Miami did with Tua. Ribs are not the same kind of injury. I remember Jim Kelly playing through bruised ribs for a few weeks.

As long as Diggs doesn't utter the words "I'm fine" or "I'll be fine" or some variant of that, he's good for next week.

Because a head injury with Tua is not the same as ribs with White and you saw what they did with Flacco in there. Nothing.

As long as he doesn't say he's fine, he'll be good for next week.

And on 4th and 1. Made no sense.

When their only other guy is Flacco, I don't see him going anywhere.
