I think McDermott just confirmed that Brown and Star aren’t vaxxed. He was asked about both and said “I respect those guys’ decisions … etc” Just bring it up so we can not waste time looking for brown’s status to change for Thursday

 

Sure looked pissed when he said it though

The Bills probably have one of the lowest vaccination rates in the NFL. Say what you will about personal decisions and all that but it puts us at a competitive disadvantage regardless.

Hope they go rounds 1 through 5 on all o lineman and then find a good back in free agency

Need a one-technique D-tackle. And a WR, too. But I'm with you in spirit. Picking nothing but guards for all the rounds, and adding two more elite ones in free agency, would be deeply satisfying.

We're not moving forward until we fire Sean McDermott he's not getting us anywhere.  Folks lock out my USC takes and don't listen to the La Salle talks and treat me like I'm doxxing him.  Sorry folks two years in inventories analysis and I can spot when someone is running a long con-artist game and a fraud operation.  And, Sean has that to the hilt.  

Asking for a friend, can people be fired from posting on message boards?

I agree. It's like they're not hungry, or they expect someone else will step up. To be fair, the defense has been playing lights out all year. I think they're owed a dud or two in a season. But the offense is not doing well. Even when Allen had time to throw today he wasn't connecting much. Could be the weather in part. But you don't sense much urgency or caring. Is that on the head coach? Maybe. 

The defense is playing well in spite of the offense allowing teams to stay in games. Can you imagine what the D would look like if the O would jump out to a lead and force opposing teams to become one dimensional?

This is the best take on the game I've read so far. Admirably succinct, too. The first and third points are worrisome. I just hope Star and Edmunds can make up the gulf between their offense and our defense. And Allen refusing to play the Tom Brady role of short passes, being patient, has lost them at least two games so far. 

Allen was not the problem.  Sure, he had a bad pick after penalties turned a sure first down into 3rd and 18.  
 

How many drops?  I counted 5 in a row in the 3Q alone.  

The blocking is terrible.  We cannot function with 2 OL injured. We have no backups.

The Bills burst outta the tunnel today...

“East Dillon Lions” moment of the season…

 

10/10 feel better after listening to this:

 

 

Bills by 100.

My uncle said before the game the 2 linebackers wasnt going to work against Taylor.   It was that obvious to a lot of people except the Bills coaching staff.

People on here said to “let him get his yards he can’t win a game by himself” (~~) because this is the new NFL and you need to throw for 400 yds to win.

[Casey D]

Really bad day.  Let's see if they can bounce back.  Not much else to say.

[Success]

THIS is why the Jags game hurts so much.  The team never should have lost that - too careless, too self-absorbed.  They bought their own hype and took some games too casually.

 

Now, it's almost must-win the rest of the way.  Very little margin for error - during the toughest part of our schedule.

 

I still believe they can morph into the team they were after the Hail Murray last year - but it certainly won't shock me if they don't, and if this is what we have.

McDermott presser was pure gold “I respect their decisions.” Star & Brown. What was he referring to?

Careful!

I was dragged over broken glass for using the "F" word.

Finesse team is exactly what we are.   Name a guy on our lines the other team has to game plan for or really worry about.

At this point, I'm wondering if the team needs a wakeup call. Like when the Ravens brought in Caldwell as OC mid-season and won the Superbowl,  or when Pat Riley took over the Heat who were underperformed and led them to a title with Wade and Shaq. (Or Phil Jackson in for Doug Collins). Something isn't connecting right now, and the whole is way less than the sum of the parts. 

The Steelers game was a wakeup call.

The Titans game was a wakeup call,

The Jax game was a wakeup call... we hear this after every loss this season. Wakeup call, learning experience, blah blah blah

Of course Brown isn’t vaxxed. Look what he re-tweets. Respecting his decision to be selfish on a team that preaches “process” is oxymoronic.
 

Sorry if this sounds political, mostly just pointing out coaches’ hypocrisy.

I hear what you're saying but you also sound silly and entitled. 

[Maine-iac]

Finesse team or not I think we could win games like this just like we could have won the Titans game but what you can't be is a team that turns the ball over.

Brown is not “injured” any more than Star is.  Calling them “injured” conveys the sense that they’re out because of something they did while trying to help the team.   For them it’s the complete opposite.  Call them what they are.  Unvaccinated selfish idiots.

[delirious]

I get really upset when we hear how Coach is Mr. Process and detail oriented, but yet the Bills are consistently committing tons of penalties every week. It's so sad after every big play I have to hold my breath because of a flag.

 

And part of that is on the crap refs, but our team is consistently committing a lot of penalties. It's been this way since he started here.

[Cotton Fitzsimmons]

What’s good, gents? What’s good?

 

Watching this team over the last month has been like waiting for prime 70s era Carl Douglas to show up, but getting 2011 Carl Douglas on your TV and we are left wondering what sort of clown show we just watched.
