Bills @ Patriots Game thread - 1st half

[Chugga]

Daboll wasn’t perfect either.  He had some lulls in his playcalling (I’ll never forget Jaguars 9-6).  And then he’d change 1 thing and it would fix everything.  He’d run Josh.  And when Josh ran it opened up RPOs, it opened up playaction, it opened up running lanes.

 

I don’t think we “unleash” Allen’s arm because that can get messy.  But maybe we start utilizing those legs again.  I know it’s a risk but we look putrid on offense.

Fire EVERYONE

 

I don’t think you are supposed to start that thread until after the game is over. But by then we’ll probably have a dozen new ones that have popped up. We are over achievers!

It cannot possibly be anything he is doing wrong because he is perfect.

Allen has been part of the problem.   Not sure why people can’t admit that. 
 

He’s elite and can turn it around any moment.. but he’s not playing like a top tier QB as of recent (outside a few elite plays). 

[BobChalmers]

This level of unready play in all three phases is a real indictment of McDermott.  The decimation of the interior DL is having predictable effects - the rest of these last 2.5 weeks just looks like a really badly coached team.

[Cheektowaga Chad]

So third straight slow start, when does it become that this isnt a slow start and it's just who they are? 

[WideNine]

This defense sorely misses Jones and Milano.

 

Just cogs that make the other pieces work.

 

Would do well to draft an impact DT, and jettison Settle. Loved the Jones signing, but he is getting up there in years and the injuries start to add up 

[Freddie's Dead]

Allen still in the shotgun.  *****in' Dorsey will not *****in' run the *****in' football.

How did we do what we did to Miami… and then follow up the way we did with the Jags, Giants, and now Pats. Truly baffling. 

The Miami defense is absolutely atrocious and a really good matchup for us.  It’s going a bit under the radar because they’ve played mostly terrible offenses but they’re still towards the bottom in points allowed and nearly last in defensive dvoa

Problem is not coaching.  Mental mistakes and poor execution are on the players.

do you understand preparation is part of coaching?

[boyst]

When we win this ugly game you know what the McChump mouthpumpers will say when Miami loses tonight?

 

"We ArE fIrSt In ThE dIvIsIoN."

 

This isn't a contending team as presented and it's frustrating to see Josh Allen struggling, regressing, and not being allowed to flourish.

The OC was his pick!

 

Maybe they should have made that call .. not the 4 yr QB

Who’s the coach with the power of decision making?

[jcamm1966]

Make raider offer for Addams they cant refuse

That's still coaching

How? We get 3 days to practice in a week and McDermott is basically given them one laid back day. How do you correct mistakes like that?

Doubling down I see. If you’re not smart enough to understand why a physical practice 3 days before a game is stupid then I can’t help you.

Take away Diggs and make somebody else beat you!! Had to know this was going to be Belichick approach

 

That's every defensive gameplan against the Bills.

Starts with coaching.

 

Yes, I agree players are sloppy.  Coaching has to get it right, especially after a third bad start to a game in a row.

I’m having flashbacks of Aaron Maybin watching him

The offense has fallen off a cliff after the Dolphins game.
