Bring back the no huddle!

Have to do something different…anything that involves Dorsey not calling the play would be welcome.

Look at Kraft's hair on the sideline, it's blowing all over. Not sure why the flags didn't move, but something took the ball from dead center to 5 feet wide...

Stop - it’s not windy here 

[The Red King]

But...but...we're 4-2.  Doesn't that mean we're a great team and shouldn't worry about anything?

This is what happens when you preach family and one Buffalo and you throw your teammates under the bus without a proper trial. Only way to fix this hot mess is to make things right. 

How are you still caught up in that? I feel terrible for you

Every aspect of the offense sucks right now.

This is due to a combination of injuries to the defense and jet lag.  What we do know for certain, is that this offense is not McDermott's responsibility in any way shape or form.

This is squarely on 17.  D is going to be rough due to the obvious injuries.  But the O can't get right and Josh has looked like his 2019 version.

2019? Not even close. He’s worse. I am staring to think this is Josh’s inability to adjust his game without running. Maybe it gets better over time but right now it seems like he’s lost without his run plays.

Keep 86 in and keep targeting him.

All the rah rah aside, our back up playets aren't that good to overcome the starters injuries. But I'll bet that's their excuse. This line is not that good at all. Brown  should be cut immediately.  And fire the talent evaluator and scout for the oline.

The O is full of starters and are the problem

I'm far from a McDermott apologist but that's BS.

I'm glad you feel that way Mrs. Dorsey...

 

Or Mrs. McDermott

 

Same difference

You know what drives me nuts is seeing Cook run so well and we get to the 13 yard line of opposing team and we pull him.  He has hot hand and we cant even give him a shot

Except we already crushed them

Yeah I didn’t quite get that comment either 

[Niagara Dude]

Offence is terrible

[PayDaBill$]

This is one repeatedly unprepared football team HC OC & QB. It’s embarrassing.

He's the Head Coach. Everything on the playing side is his responsibility, even if the O is delegated.

2nd half is cancelled. McDermott is taking the guys for ice cream to talk about their feelings.

[ngbills]

This is the new bills. Ground and pound squeak out 20-17 wins vs 1-5 teams.

It was honestly an anomaly.

 

Fangio was dumb enough to put a slot corner 1 on 1 on Diggs for the whole game.

 

Teams aren’t going to do that 

Miami might have the worst defense in the league idk how much of it was an anomaly.  

[Dr.Sack]

11 rushes for 30 yards. Any ideas how we get this run game going?

Agreed we need to start running him.  Read options, power sweeps the whole nine yards.  We’ve neutered him and he’s not the same without the threat of running
