How does Davis not have a freaking catch

Because he’s a bottom tier #2 who deserves to suck with some soon to be rookie QB else where

Looks like I'm not as dumb as people think. 

Keep telling yourself that.

Game still within reach.  Need a 2nd half like Tampa in 2021.

Did you watch the first half?

Bills last couple plays there were absolute garbage. YOU DON'T THROW A 2 YARD PASS WITH 27 SECONDS LEFT!  TWICE!!!!! 
Josh Allen could have run for a first down or something.  WTH!

 

I gotta tell ya.  

 

Poor execution.  ... JK    

 

Seriously though, how anyone attributes this absurdly underperforming offense to anything but coaching at this point is mystifying.  

 

 

[Straight Hucklebuck]

Tempo gone.

 

No motion.

 

Running the ball twice.

 

Allen playing like a space cadet again. 
 

The Bengals aren’t doing anything amazing, but our offense puts up a measly 7 minutes TOP.

Josh is a front runner. I love him but he is. He doesn’t play well coming from behind and now we are going to be completely one dimensional. It’s not looking good for us

they are always one dimensional.  This staff has no idea how to run the ball.  Losing knox has created a situation where they cant run at all.

Everything seems so hard on offense this season aside from the Miami game

And miss the tripped penalty which would have been 15 yards and a first down?

 

They clearly would be looking at the play. And just like the officials coming in on the headphones to call that intentional grounding - it should have been called. No excuse.

yea. It’s a spot you expect a makeup call if anything sketchy is going to happen not the proverbial pass interference on a Hail Mary type of call to put the nail in the coffin of the drive.

Why tf are they not gonna throw a hail mary to end the half. So dumb. Dorsey needs to be fired. F the refs too ridiculous no call on that trip 

I don’t think the officials properly communicated to anyone that they were running the clock. No coach knew.  Otherwise, the bengals would have called a TO.

I want to just be pissed about the Bills and how bad they are playing BUT these refs are so bad and now it just seems like I'm being a sore loser talking about them, but dayum they are so bad. 

It's a combo of both. Any bright spot we might potentially get will be shot down by the refs, so there is that too.

The refs tonight are seriously using no common sense. The taunt, the grounding, the non-call on the trip. 
 

Then, they run the clock too at the end of the half, unbeknownst to anyone. 

The roughing the passer...

[DapperCam]

Question, why didn’t we run down the clock to 2 seconds and call a timeout? We were easily in Hail Mary territory and we are down 2 TDs. Coaching fail.

[May Day 10]

McDermott literally forgot to coach there.  That should have been an end zone shot to end the half.  Down by two touchdowns.

Need an offensive guy full stop.    
 

It’s sad it’s unfortunate but it’s business.   
 

Any DC can do what we do.  

 

McD won't do it though.   He's so scared of abandoning his own process garbage of promoting from within.

His qb

Agreed.  that seems to be McD weakness is he tries forcing these guys to do things they cant

A good coach develops a scheme around the strength of the players available, a ***** one does what McDummy does.  Poor coaches force square pegs into round holes, and guess what the result is... the SHTSHOW we are witnessing.   Hell, McDummy even doubles down by neutering our superstar QB to slow down the offence and protect his weak, poorly coached defense.   

I'm not afraid of failing with a new staff, because frankly, they are going NOWHERE with this staff and I'd rater be turning over every stone to bring in a bright offensive mind and play to the strengths of the 1 superstar we have, versus wasting more of Josh's prime years on this spiral downward with this crappy staff.

[Scott7975]

Where is the stuff from last week?  Davis was running routes all over the field.  Now he running streaks again. F Dorsey.  I hate him and hope he is gone  IDGAF what stats anyone shows or some weird screenshot showing some receiver open in a moments time... the dude aint it.  It doesn't gell with Josh and what he does best.

I have, 2007 SB Brady threw to a spot and got called for intentional grounding. The receiver zigged when Brady expected him to zag.. 

But was he under pressure? Josh had 0 pressure on that play.

[BillsFan130]

Why didn’t the bills try a Hail Mary attempt? You have nothing to lose.

 

It’s something that probably doesn’t matter, but it’s a microcosm of McDermott and his game day decisions
