Coach Tuesday

Tell her it’s not about size.

This. His offseason work focused on bringing his LEFT arm in tight during the throw (“taking a bite out of the hamburger” or whatever Cover1 was calling it). He can’t do that as well, or without causing pain, and it’s throwing his mechanics totally out of whack. That’s my theory, at least. The ball seems to be sailing a lot more than it was pre-injury.

Yeah? Just a factual one. Best QB prospect in over 20 years. A win ties them with Jax, Atlanta, Houston.

Frustration over terrible playcalls and game planning.

Honestly? Potentially knocking the Jets out of the Lawrence sweepstakes with a loss might be the best thing for the Bills long-term, if they could somehow overcome the emotional toll it would take.

Replacement-level QB play today.

Missing out on DJ Reader seems to have been a pivotal loss.

He was openly musing about retirement before the season - his heart ain’t in it anymore. He’s played for a lot of losing teams.

Uh, that’s because it’s a tautology?

I really think he’s hurt. The adrenaline kicks in during the fourth quarter and helps him fight through the shoulder pain. He’s not able to bring his left arm in tight enough right now and it’s affecting his entire game.

As he should - he was terrible.

The left shoulder is preventing Josh from driving through his throws. That’s my theory.

On THE critical drive in the fourth quarter they went I-formation and handed to Moss for a paltry gain. Neither that formation nor that player have worked ALL YEAR. That was Daboll’s play calling in the critical moments of the game. He thinks it’s like New England where you can just shape-shift into a power running team whenever you need to. But his coaches and players (especially his running game coordinators) lack sufficient attention to detail to pull this off and he has to know better.

Loss was 80/20 on the offense. But the defensive scheme was yet again stupid in key moments.

He was garbage. I’ll give him the injury excuse, I think his left shoulder injury is preventing him from driving through his throws. But he has been a horrible QB two games in a row.

I don’t think Zach “Skates” Moss belongs on an NFL field right now. For starters.

McD hasn’t won a playoff game and hasn’t coached well enough to beat a quality opponent. Ever. His contract extension may have been premature. Two weeks, two royal beat-downs by better coaches. Don’t let the score today fool you this was a ROUT. It was over as soon as the inactives were announced.

Diggs is sulking. This is going well.

Open the postgame thread.

It’s not weird. These coaches stubbornly believe that doing the same thing over and over again will eventually work.

Fire Frazier.

Nope. Rexiness.

Good for Zimmer for stepping up and making a play, even though it wasn’t a fumble.

“Gutless” is the right word. Players know when the game plan says “we don’t trust our players.”

This is a Rex Ryan blowout.
