What?

[NORWOODS FOOT]

I want to see how this team really responds.

 

But so far we have lost every division game we have played.

 

UnBILLievable....

Settling for Hines. That’s our offensive toy, we just have to enjoy it lol

I'm guessing the issue is Josh is pressing the last 2 second halves as he isn't getting many possessions. Seems like the first halves he has played well mostly(minus the boneheaded INT after the long play to Diggs to start the game)...

 

Back to trying to score TDs on every play instead of letting the game develop more and taking the easy throws.

It only “works” if 17 gives the ball away.  Keep giving away points other teams can hang around. 

Agreed, but protecting the ball has never been a Josh trait.

Josh played pretty bad.  Defense is banged up.  Need a little more creativity from Dorsey. 

Let's all relax.

We can't run and other teams can run on us. Sound familiar. 

And if they could run besides Allen you wouldn't see those mistakes. How anyone can blame the qb idk. He lhas the offense on his back.  It's how they have 6 wins. 3 third down backs in play today and sometimes 2 in the game at the sane time does him no favors.  Need to concede you lost drafting cook. Now that you're stuck I think you'll see Hines and Singletary rotate and get carries to keep defenses honest.  Josh is taking too many hits but when you need a yard there's no alternative. Just a little time for Hines to get the language and basically you have 2 Singletarys

And I’m ok with Hines. But you have to play him to get something out of him.

Same thread came out the last two years.

Every season we’ve hit a midseason slump for about 3 games.  Then we finish strong.

Cancel the season and move to Toronto 

it’s the only logical move at this point, really.

[Shortchaz]

All the lessons the bills needed to win this game should’ve been learned in the Miami game.

If the blueprint is pressure JA & hope he forces the issue anyway, then sure...

 

But hopefully he can get back to basics & settle on taking what the defense gives him again. Check downs, screens, slants, etc. just things that help keep the ball moving while helping him get in rhythm. 

 

He also needs to stop with the casual throws in bounds when he should be throwing the ball away. 

 

He's had what, 3x 2 INT games? Even had a couple fumbles now too. It wasn't great before, but at least we managed to win in spite of them. Now they're really concerning 😟 

 

We needed Allen to simply play the Rams game today and he wanted to play the Steelers game.

Nothings changed. This is the Bills blue print also…pressure the QB (we spent for Von), and score points/run the clock!! Old school football run it, pass it, score and move.

Just came to say this post makes no sense

All that and we still lost only by 3 late.

Well we were playing the Jets.

[Buffalo03]

Every season under McDermott we get into a mid season funk for some reason and then we get back on track again

[Ethan in Cleveland]

This loss was 100% on Josh. He is great but today he was terrible. End of story.

Yeah that’s what happens to the 31 teams that don’t win the SB. Very good observation.

A way we have been figured out is that teams are doubling Stefon diggs and putting they’re cb1 on gabe. Gabe hasn’t done well and McKenzie hasn’t preformed consistently enough.

The good news is this should leave a very favorable match-up for slot, te, and rbs to get open.

 

I'm almost glad today happened for that reason. We need to stop being so damn 1-D. This OL is playing like trash, let's hope we can get healthy and Kromer can get guys playing to their abilities. Relying on 10 rec, 130yds and a td from Diggs is not sustainable way to win.

 

Also... damn do we miss 2020 Cole. McK has been at his ceiling for 2 years, I don't know what's taking so long but we desperately need to start breaking Shakir in. McK touchdowns are great but he's only done that in RZ. 

 

Shakir between the 20s and McK in redzone seems like a no brainer of a start.
