Bengals @ Bills - Post Game Thread - January 22, 2023 - NFL Divisional Round Playoffs

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

Everyone is going to talk about skill position players all offseason…this team has zero physicality. That’s been the issue for 3 ***** years. You can’t stop the run and any physical front pushes you straight backwards. We don’t need WRs. We need physical linemen and a philosophy change. We have a QB that’s perfect for the Super Bowl Panthers offense and defensive personnel that should be much better. The reason we regularly can’t run or stop the run is because both of our lines are finesse. This is the issue. Won’t be fixed and unfortunately probably won’t even be realized. Worry about the WRs….The issue is the line. Need a much more physical LB then Edmunds as well but that will be completely ignored

Dont think there should be a big extension for Ed.

Can I blame him for missing a WIDE OPEN Diggs on the first series? 

Yes and also it’s his fault that Allen was the best running back on the team today again

Like I said in the game thread, this was like, and had the feel of, the 31-7 blowout loss to the Chiefs in the AFL Championship game at home in War Memorial in December, 1966. For comparison, we went on to win 4 games in '67 and 1 game in '68. Then we got OJ.

That is part of the problem, Dorsey can’t control him, and the play design is just terrible.

Control what? Without Josh this coaching staff would have been gone long ago. Our O put up 34 points when our staff let him play football and 10 when they tried to play conservative. Down 14-0 and you run back to back run plays, that’s MCD

Like I thought all you do is trash this team

This team has made me miserable for most of the time I’ve watch them. They deserve all the crap they get. 
 

I wish I could stop watching them but I can’t. It’s an illness.

Don't bother man.  He's on a soap box he can't get off.

At least tag me you coward.  Josh's decision making has been an issue down the stretch.

Some good FA signings, some good late round draft picks. But how Beane continually escapes criticism for his early round draft picks other than Allen I have no idea. And any other franchise would have jettisoned their DC after last years KC debacle. Allen needs weapons. I’m not sure the Bills have the GM to identify and acquire them. And I know they don’t have the DC to win big boy football games. 

 

Even with Josh, we traded away the opportunity to draft Mahomes. Even with Diggs, we traded away the opportunity to draft Jefferson.

 

It's so Billsy that, even when they get great players, others benefit from it too.

[Gunsgoodtime]

Not a insult to Beasley and Brown, who actually did us a favor coming back, but can we possibly at least try, attempt, or even think about upgrading our WRs?  How about the guys that protect Josh Allen?  Think about it, maybe?  The fact that Beasley and Brown were brought back because our Wrs sucked so bad is infuriating.  Dont start the season with a worse WR group then the previous year and you don't have to bring the old boys back again!!!!!!!   Enough with this garbage ass defensive focus with draft capital and FA contracts!!!!!!

You mean while we were down 17 with a minute left in the game? Stop the ***** presses.

He did it when they were up 17 last week. Take what they give you!! I've seen dump downs turn into big gains

The Bills did not lose today’s game because of turnovers. Do you want to rethink your original post?

#9 cannot hurt you anymore today. And #15 doesn’t even get the chance!

Bills are weak team on both sides of the ball. Cincinnati is far far better than Buffalo.  Not even close 

So many holes on this team

Dorsey should be asking that question if that's what he's calling. And maybe questions should be asked why Josh is ignoring him if he's not following play calls - actually, they should have been asked well before now.

I completely agree.  Someone there has to be able to reign that in.  When he is on time and in rhythm they are unstoppable.

Isn't NOT coming out of the tunnel flat before the biggest game of the year supposed to be one of those things that falls to the Head Coach of the team?   

 

Yes. I’m not ready to ***** can him like many here but he will definitely need to look himself in the mirror and know that he did not have the team ready to play.

[4th&long]

If macdermott and Fraizer are back next year this will be the result. Thank them for what they have done here but it’s time for them to go! As long as they are here this is as far as this team will go. They get out coached every year in the playoffs.

That’s just sad if that is the case. If no major shake up happens we will be the Dolphins of the 80s and 90s.

That’s where we are headed, wasting Josh and Diggs, if there are no changes it’s over. This ain’t working and it’s not going to change I’m afraid.

Well having Taron Johnson in instead of an extra LB sure the ***** don’t help

If you fire McD, you lose the team. Simple as. 

 

 

Diggs and the other vets will leave. They don't want a rebuild. 

Every coach has been forced to fire their coordinators. Andy Reid has done it a dozen times to save his job.
