If the Bills D looks lost against the Pats they'll look lost against anyone.

They probably overlooked the Pats figuring the could just show up and win.. which they almost did.  The Bills are a very very good team that got cocky and lost.

I mean there has to be a coach who can find a happy medium between running Josh headfirst into danger and calling the same shotgun draw that doesn't work multiple times a game.

 

But yeah, coaching "the dawg" out of Allen honestly I think is a huge part of this team's regression. If you take the fire out of your team's heart and soul, you probably aren't getting very far off the remaining embers.


It’s nauseating. They’re trying to make him Rob Johnson. That’s just not him, he’s not a cerebral assassin, he’s a big goofy golden retriever who can maul you

They shouldn't have been cocky in that final drive. They shouldn't have been cocky from the off considering the mess they almost made of the Giants game.

Losing to the Pats - it just kills me.  This one will take some time.

 

(sigh)  I'm not giving up on the season.  We dug a hole, we're missing some really key guys, and we do not look good.  

 

But I'm old enough to remember that a lot of teams who ended up winning titles started out pretty bad or mediocre.  Playing well in December & January is what counts.  We have the talent. The coaching has to improve.

This has nothing to do with looking ahead or being cocky thinking they can just show up.  This team is bad.  Dorsey isn't it.  Our O has no identity.  They coached Josh out of Josh.  This team has been bad for 3 weeks now.  We just got lucky last week.

Lol no. The Jets can’t draft a QB and they have maybe 1 year with a healthy Rogers. Miami will fall back to Earth once Hill retires in a couple years. 
 

The Bills D is hurt and the pass rush isn’t there.  As I said before the Bills O issue IMO is relying on Diggs too much. The Pats were giving the Bills the TE open all game and they just didn’t take it enough. 
 

I won’t be shocked if the Bills rebound and rattle off 5 victories in a row. 

I would prefer to trade Diggs and tank the season. The current Jets team with Rodgers out is similar to the Pats but the Jets have a better roster and defense. Jets are also in QB purgatory without Rodgers.

Got to get to January first. Looks less likely tonight.

THANK YOU. We've given unlimited resources to a terrible scheme and coach, and people blame Allen every week for the fact that the scraps after Diggs can never win one on one. Or the fact that he instantly has to move every other play

It's exhausting to read every week, and making me just want to steer clear of the boards for now. It's low hanging fruit at this point, to keep blaming Josh. I feel like our offense has ZERO identity, and gets by on sheer talent, but that comes back to bite them a lot of times as well. I could say a lot about the offense, or Dorsey, but good god, no need to since it is all we hear about.

 

Sorry, but when the offense has a few drives and scores and gives us hope, or a lead FINALLY, having the defense get eaten alive is a whole new level of aggravation, and I am so tired of them not coming through when we need them the most. I get there have been times/games where the defense played lights out, and we needed the offense to help them out, and maybe they didn't, but this needs to go both ways. We finally got the lead after a very long and draining game, and they let a terrible offense(with some help from the refs) just march down the field with ease. Not even held them to a field goal, but a freaking touchdown. Gross.

The worst coaches try and shoe-horn a player into their vision, their scheme, or their preference.

 

The best coaches take what a player does well and maximize it to the utmost potential.

 

When I watch this team, most of what I see is the latter. And not just regarding Josh.

The guys on WGR just said it best. You are ahead and needed 1 stop to beat a team that was shut out at home by the saints two weeks ago 34-0

Our defense is SLOW and not physical.  Especially when missing Milano, Tre, Jones and Ed.

 

Micah still has a little juice left.  But this secondary is running on fumes in general; Taron is our best player as of now and still isn't reliable to win 1-1 consistently.

 

Not to mention, our offense lost its "mojo".  We are trying to become a ball control/balanced attack; this just isn't going to work when we need 10+ play drives.

Bills are not a good team? No HC, no OC, average/bad Oline, no weapons outside Diggs, depth is very bad too. I know this team as it is built right now has no chance at a SB.

I wouldn't be completely surprised if Josh is bored now though. Feels like they've taken the fun away from his game and have tried to turn him into something he's not. When they have to run quick offense, they look so much better.
