Bills/Commanders Postgame Thread

[HappyDays]

Dominating defensive performance is the story of this one. Hats off to McDermott. The more aggressive style is working.

 

Dorsey was our biggest problem on offense, no creativity and several bizarre play calls.

[Aussie Joe]

So it wasn’t a trap game ?

[WMDman]

I think Dorsey Called an okay game

[Toledo Bill]

The defensive tackle duo of Jones and Oliver is far superior to Settle and Phillips. PLEASE sign Jones to an extension!1

I dunno, that 4th and inches call in a shotgun formation. Sickening

If I need to be nitpicky, I didn’t love his 4th and 1 pass play.  Just push the pile. Get 1 yard.

Dorsey is a problem big win or not. He’s certainly not learning from obvious mistakes. He’s costing us points and possession. Against difficult opposition, he better step up.

Fire Dorsey !!!

I think Allen and the defense saved him multiple times.

 

To be fair to Dorsey, we do not have a true #2 receiver out there. It's a major handicap on this offense.

Yeah but Allen always saves things

 

A win like today glosses over real deficiencies on offense in particular

[SydneyBillsFan]

Very good win. Defense never let up.

 

Is it possible that Dorsey has deliberately kept Kincaid under wraps for the Miami game?

[NickelCity]

Defense wins this one. Offense was moving pretty well I thought. But undisciplined penalties and then the 4th down play call was unpleasant. 

 

 

[TFBillsfan]

Nice win with a lot to feel good about! Already thinking about the Miami game.

 

A few areas for improvement as we move on to week four:

 

Harty: Not sure after three games if I know what the game plan is?

 

Kincaid: For all the focus about an added bonus in the slot, very few plays seem to be utilizing his skillset.

 

We continue to see receivers running routes down the field too close to each other.

 

YAC: Seem like we still lack with YAC in our passing game.

 

Need better results on first and second downs. Thus far too many third and long situations. 
 

Defensively, need to shore up our tackling.

Doubtful. Idk what the Miami defense would offer to warrant this. It’s not their defense that it’s threatening

Posted this in the gameday thread, but...

- Bills offensive line looking amazing the last two weeks. They were NOT going against slouches this week, either. Very, very impressive.

- Spencer Brown. Where the HECK did this come from?! Looks like a totally different guy. Not perfect, mind you, but leaps and bounds above what we all thought we were gonna get this season from him.

- Splash plays from a middle linebacker? Affecting the outcome of the game with sacks, interceptions, fumble recoveries? What on earth? THAT'S ALLOWED?!!

- This defensive line is gonna be a PROBLEM for opposing teams this year. Adding Von Miller back in the next few weeks? My goodness!

- Count me among those who prefer McDermott's playcalling to Leslie Frazier's thus far.

- Jimbo Cook is silky smooth. 

- The week 1 Jets game looks to have had the same effect on Josh that the Pats multi-turnover game did in 2019, where it flips a switch in his brain and he starts paying controlled, smart, and within himself.

- Love the diversity of the Bills offensive personnel and playcalling so far.

- Things are no longer looking like a struggle for this Bills team. They're starting to get back to dominating and not getting in their own way and playing smart football on both sides of the ball.

All in all, a very encouraging two weeks. Onto the absolutely ENORMOUS game against the Dolphins next week. GO BILLS!

Davis scored a td. Still catches the ball / hand positioning weird

 

drops another pass

 

and is a black hole for targets. INT

 

as soon as the above happens. Need to have Sherrfield in

Right now the #2 receiver spot is a hodgepodge of guys, none of them consistent or exceptional. It is a major concern. For now it will have to be Allen making magic happen and Cook maximizing his opportunities.

[Dr. K]

My wife and I were at the game. My god, the Bills mafia took over the stadium. At times it sounded like a home game.

Does he really need an elite QB, elite #1, and a great #2 to design and call a good game?

 

His opening scripts don’t really do much to get the offense in a rhythm or attack weaknesses. His route concepts seem bizarre. Things don’t come easy with guys getting open in space. 
 

Josh being incredible covers up a lot of deficiencies.
