"Try harder guys, if you don't we might actually win this thing!" - Coach McD halftime pep talk last night

Yeah this offense is strait up bad now. I have zero faith in them scoring when needed. They're BORING. Im not sure I ever remember a Bills team as heavily hyped as this one, with such middling results. Maybe Rex Ryan's 'building a bully' team? They look slow and disinterested. The Jets are going eat them alive again.

The reality is that our O is neither explosive or even particularly efficient. I don't care what some stupid made up this year stat says, the O is a mess, from playcalling to execution. It's so simple, opposing DCs have figured it out to the point that the Cinci D knew exactly what the safeties were doing on a given play. Normally I can't stand Chris Collinsworth but it was worse last night because he seemed to actually pity the Bills, like what the hell happened to you guys. I wish the fact that we suck now would mean they would stop with the primetime games

If Daquan Jones was the only thing making the Bills play disciplined D, staying in lanes and not overpursuing, then yeah they were never going anywhere this year and we can all relax.

Yeah this really is the question. We've overspent on over the hill players and guys who will never be best of breed. Tre and Von are never going to be any better than merely adequate again. Knox? I'd give him another year

While Buffalo CBs play at least 15 yards off the WRs and our safeties take naps

Von needs to get back to IR. He's not helping. If the Bills somehow fall ass backwards into the playoffs maybe reactivate him so we can watch in wonder as he arcs 20 yards past the QB as we watch middling RBs run right past where he should have been. You don't get to see that sort of talent just anywhere

Here's what will actually happen. The Bills will blow 5 of the next 6, then look great the last two. We'll miss the playoffs (by at least 2 games!) but because we win a couple at the end, management will keep McD and Beane in place. We'll draft 5 or 6 CBs and a high motor undersized DT, then get a gave davis type receiver in FA. Rather than cutting our losses, we'll keep our AARP defensive backfield intact, even if we don't get more than half a season out of any of them. Lather, rinse, repeat, so goeth the glory era that never was

The Bengals let their foot off the gas in the 2nd half. I bet they're complaining about that on whatever their fan forum is. Again, they physically dominated the Bills to start the game, which is becoming a theme. It's actually becoming a tiresome act with them - oh, it's late in the 4th quarter, let's turn it on! It's getting hard to take them seriously when they just bring the same undisciplined soft nonsense game after game. Good enough to beat the bottom feeders, nowhere near good enough to compete with winning teams. They'll be running for the bus by halftime next week and we can all get our sundays back. I'm looking forward to next season after we dump a bunch of overpaid underperforming vets and let Davis walk

Not just the D either. This team hasn't beat anyone good yet, with the partial exception of Miami. And Miami can't beat anyone good either. This is a 9-8 or 8-9 team, though Im not sure where the 3 wins are coming from to get us up to 8 given the lackadaisical coaching and JV level play Why is spencer brown still on this team?

TBD posters are more committed to the Buffalo Bills than the guys getting a paycheck from them, it would seem

THere's no sure win left on the schedule the way they are sleepwalking through games, Allen or no Allen

someone else may have said this, but defending against Allen is somewhat like defending against Tua. Take away the first read and make them think through the progression. Neither of them are particularly capable of that, and because our playbook is about as innovative as a day old loaf of wonderbread, Allen stands back there dumbfounded until he gets sacked

The Bills can't field a modern offense if we have to keep our 83 year old RB2 in to assist Brown on every play lest Allen get his head taken off. Who is behind Brown? He can't possibly be worse

Not sure! There's no game on that list that I would put money on the Bills winning. They're not getting to 10 wins. Denver is a question mark, but certainly getting better while the Bills are getting worse. If the Bills have any professional pride whatsoever they win this game running away but they don't so they won't. Watch for an even less creative O next week as the coaching staff shrinks from the moment. Allen's sulky teenager act continues. The Jets have our number. Their D is too good and our O is an uncoordinated mess that only works under a very specific set of circumstances that the Jets are not obliged to provide. This game is where the wheels completely come off, which leads to Eagles, Chiefs, Cowboys, Chargers. I dont see a win in any of those, maybe LA, but not if they are fighting for a playoff spot. There is real potential for a 0-7 run here, and this team is not built to stop a slide. After that it really doesn't matter. I suppose they come back and look good in wins over the Pats and Miami, but it'll be too late and only move us down the draft order, and probably convince the Pegulas to give McD another chance. This team is mentally as soft as tissue paper, and aren't even entertaining any more.

I've been saying for a couple years that there is a cancer on this team. Is it McD? It looks to me like the players have given up. I'd have left Spencer Brown in Cinci if I were running the team

eh, this is starting to feel like how we would relish the moral victories during the drought. Oh hey we kept Tom Brady to 250 yards passing! Just think of what that will mean next year!

with that elite bend away from the ball

Von has been terrible since he came back. Teams are running right where he would be if he wasn't getting blown 15 yards off the play Bills need to unload all the old slow expensive vets and try again. The way they are playing they'll be lucky to win 2 more games this year. This place will self immolate if we finish last in the afce

0-4 is a real possibility over that stretch Maybe next color rush game they can wear clown wigs

We do We do

Eh, you don't seem like someone who can handle money

Someone who throws terms like CAPITALISM around should know that seed money comes from other people.

You know what's even cooler about capitalism? You and your revolutionary idea can go get seed funding and start your own worker-cooperative based doordash competitor and watch the world beat a path to your door! Hell you can even set minimums on delivery (like every pizza place on the planet before 5 years ago) so your workers don't have to take unprofitable trips!

Capitalism is what allows us choices. Nobody is forcing you to use DoorDash, or order from a particular restaurant. You would know this if you had ever been to a communist country. The people who complain the most about capitalism are the ones who have never experienced the alternative Very few of these type of jobs are net positive. I travel a lot for work and speak to a ton of Uber and Lyft drivers. The honest ones admit in the long term they lose money but are chasing last months credit card bill.
