Josh deserves a system like Burrow and Mahomes have.

He won't play within it.  That's the problem.

[Buddy Hix]

A LOT of posters gave McD a pass for 13 secs…How’s that working out? McD will never win a chip, he gets outclassed on the regular.

[TNBills]

Time for Beane to invest real draft capital into the Oline and receivers. We have so much invested into the D that let's us down in the biggest moments.

[78thealltimegreat]

I wouldn’t doubt Josh said you outcoached us 

[Maine-iac]

Game adjustments.  When your coverage clearly isn't getting there you need to mix in some cb blitzes.  You have to get there.  Even not stopping the run you can mitigate a little bit if you shut down the pass but you can't keep rushing 4 and not getting there if you coverage is consistently getting beat.

[TheFunPolice]

Coaching is not good enough.

 

So much investment in the defense and they can't stop anyone when it matters.

 

Offense doesn't play smart and doesn't play situational football.

 

Other teams can be down to 3rd string QBs or without multiple starters on the line and totally dominate 

 

 

[Nextmanup]

Will be interesting to see if the powers that be consider this BEAT DOWN fitting of a coordinator change--maybe both.

 

My guess is nothing will happen.

 

What a bad taste in my mouth.  Long off-season on the way.

Disgusting effort on both sides of the ball. There needs to be a massive overhaul in both the roster and coordinating staff. 

They won’t change a thing, and nothing will change

[Cotton Fitzsimmons]

Hard to say where we go from here. That was beyond awful.

[BaaadThingsMan]

Well they pretty much ***** down their leg today. 

 

I donno what they need but they better figure it out.

[Murdox]

We need to focus on our lines on both sides of the ball this offseason.  Allen was under a lot of pressure, and our front 4 couldn't do squat to a bunch of backups that the Bengals had out there.  Look at the Eagles and 49ers as examples.  If you have top lines in this league you win.

 

But, I expected the Bills to lose this one based on momentum.  We were not a consistent team the second half of the season, and it showed.  The Bengals are likely going to win the SB this year, and Burrow looks like he's the second best QB in football after Mahomes, but he might be the best one if they win it all.

How can you feel at all

like this gets better? You never even came close to stopping that team. Fraizer is an absolute ***** disgrace. All year this defense was horrible. Should have been fired last year after 13 seconds. Run it back with this guys and it’s just a complete waste of time. The Offense has to play perfect every game because this defense is terrible. Every physical team dominates us and this guy never changes what he does. It’s long since been figured out. For the love of god fire this guy tomorrow. Please 

Its McDermotts defense. Only firing Frazier won’t change anything. 

[stlbills13]

Can't wait for Frazier to "retire" in a few weeks

Dorsey should have never been named OC. I know Allen wanted the same offense, but it just didn't work.

 

Time to hire a legit OC who doesn't ignore the run game.

 

I would love to get Frank Reich but I know it isn't happening.

[The 9 Isles]

Is anyone really surprised? This is who the Bills are. They are the lovable losers of sports. 
 

Same old Bills.

Fire Frazier already 

It’s McDemetts defense. Frazier just coaches it. The philosophy doesn’t work. Zone was not going to work today

[GETTOTHE50]

Byron leftwich was fired and he’s not nearly as bad as Dorsey or Frazier. These two need to go. I’ll give McD one more year, but he’s not untouchable. I mean The iggles fired their one coach that won them a superbowl.

Too me, this is why NFL teams will not hire Frazier as a head coach in the end.  He doesn't seem to get it done when it matters.

He’s ***** terrible

Based on the salary cap, there will be inevitable changes on the roster.  The problem will be McD looking at what NEEDS to be done to get more our of the position groups that annually underperform.  I think Kromer needs another year, but Washington has to go.  They need to have a better plan for the secondary.  We cannot continue to play base zone when press man is needed against elite offenses.

What a weird interaction between Burrow and Allen…

 

Allen had a bit to say. Burrow has zero reaction and nothing to say. But immediately walks away?

They play with fire and a chip on their shoulder. They're winners. We're nice guys. I want winners.
