Sorry Josh, unlike the Bills Defense, the rest of us have to show up for work.

As much as I criticize our own coaches, that was more Baltimore changing their defensive scheme. Once they went into "kill the clock", they let Josh be Josh. String of bad decisions from Harbaugh, the big one being punting it back to us instead of going for it on 4th and 3. The other being leaving Alexander on an island against Josh. Ravens coaches beat themselves more than our coaches did anything.

Rough night, but as others said, against one of (if not THE) best Offense we'll face all year. Let's see if things balance out after the next few games against the likes of the Jets, Dolphins, Saints, Patriots, Panthers... oh my god what a schedule...

He did as well as could be hoped for from a 6th round rookie, in a juiced up season opener, against a Super Bowl favorite with a high-voltage offense. Wasnt perfect, but nothing to be ashamed of either.

We all saw the game. No one is buying this. Our schemes did nothing for us. Defense couldnt stop anything until Ed made another individual play. And then the Ravens shifted into a McDefense and Josh worked his magic from there.

Agreed, the night game contributed to the decisions. If this was a 1pm game, not many would have left.

Josh

Eh, it's a night game. That plays a lot into it. Most folks need to show up for work, unlike the Bills defense. People always leave night games early. The 15 point deficit didnt help, for sure.

At least it's always a bit easier when its VICTORY Monday

Everyone sucks there, but the fan was out of line first. Everyone should just move on. Scoreboard.

Put Matt Prater on the Wall

LETS GOOOO Ugly on D. Ed always shows up against the big teams tho. Thank god for Josh. On to victory monday!

What if the new guy wastes Josh's prime?

I'm just sayin...

A little something, but it's mostly Josh. That's the problem. And as you argue against yourself, the Offense has survived a few major scheme changes. And has actually thrived and IMPROVED with the changes. The issue is our D. And to your point, McD will only promote from within and run the same scheme over and over that has been proven to fail in the playoffs. The offense is already set to change again when we lose Brady this offseason. You're worried about changing the Defense?

Good mention, but I counted him. I was counting the changes in OCs. So change to Dabol covered that. As much as I'd like to forget Dennison, we cant Tough to bash the guy. McD lost out on his first 3-4 OC choices and Dennison came into a job he knew he only had for a year, with a lot of work cut out for them.

The only argument the McD apologists have is personal insults. Telling.

We've "started over" 3 times on Offense now with the change to Daboll, then Dorsey, then Brady. Won the division and made the playoffs each time. We're about to lose Brady and will be forced to "start over" there again as well. So all you're really telling me is we might have to start over on Defense. And that is just further selling the idea to most of us, since it's been the Defense that weighs us down. You guys have only convinced me more that we should be ready to move on from McD when the Defense lets us down again this year. Start thinking of your excuses now.

Super Bowl experience is Super Bowl experience and it's obviously rubbed off on him as demonstrated by his coaching. And we have 8 hours to burn so strap in! Go Bills!

THREE. How many does McD have?

Vrabel not only builds culture like McD, but also has what McD lacks. He is a Belichick disciple and knows the rule book forwards and backwards, and has beat BB at his own game using loop holes and angles to squeak out wins when his players need him most, and is great at in-game decisions. He lead a team with Ryan freaking Tannehill at QB to the #1 seed twice. Imagine what he could do with Josh Allen making it all that easier. As far as rolling the dice on a first time HC... McD was never a HC before Buffalo either, and now you refuse to even consider getting rid of him. My man, you are abslutely being a McD apologist. We've laid out a bunch of very good replacement candidates and you poke a single hole in each one and cling to it. I dont believe that you'd fire him if we had a better shot with someone else. That's just a convenient line since EVERYONE is a maybe. McD isnt a maybe tho. He's proven he cant get it done. No blind hate or frustration here. Just calmly looking at the reality of recent history.

LETS GOOOOO I'm already sick of all the "experts" picking the Ravens to win in some big revenge game. It's personal to the Bills too! The boys better come out fired up and ready!

Exactly what Waldron and his friends would say. Just like Spain, and Doug Whaley, and everyone else Dunne associates with that is trying to save face and resurrect their careers. Weird that Waldron was the one fired mid-season then.

I'm almost 100% certain most of this is coming directly from Shane Waldron, the OC the Bears fired midseason due to incompetence and refusing to do his job of developing Williams. The big story on Waldron was when he straight up refused to watch film with Caleb Williams AT ALL. Williams had to seek outside sources to help him review film and learn what to look for, and even had to setup his own film study room, because Waldron refused to do it with him. Complete coaching malpractice and stealing money from the team. As far as "not knowing how to watch film" and "calling the plays wrong"... yeah, I believe all that was true. Not because Williams has a problem, but because A LOT of quarterbacks come out of college having never huddled, having never called a play, having never even taken a snap from under center (and have to learn how to take the snap, and do their drop-back for the first time as a pro). It's up to the coaching staffs on their pro teams to teach and develop them, and Waldron refused. He was fired midseason due to this incompetence, and is now on a revenge tour after all this came out. I'm not even a Caleb Wiliams fan, but this is just doing him dirty. Shane Waldron is to Caleb Williams as Quinton Spain is the Sean McDermott.
