Bills @ Bengals postgame thread

[HappyDays]

What can McDermott and Dorsey say they are better than 95% of other coaches? What is their specialty? What advantage do we gain over other teams with their presence?

 

I'm going to bet that everyone reading this post will come up empty with any kind of answer. I know the two of them are fine coaches. But they are not Super Bowl caliber.

Just frustrating that Kincaid fumbled when the Bills had a margin for error that was so slim. The defense couldn’t get the ball back when they needed it. Overall I am upset but the Bills hung in with a hot team away not the worst outcome but also very disappointing that the Bills couldn’t get the offense going more consistent 

the fumble by Kinkaid sucks. But the kid is going to be special which has me excited. Really good player. 
 

im extremely disappointed in the coaching. Not just from this game or  this season, but what it has cost us in seasons past. I’m really disappointed knowing we probably won’t win a SB this year and next year will be a rebuild and who knows after that.

This team is going nowhere without a philosophical change on both sides of the ball.   McD has feet of clay.  Taylor had his DBs playing up on the Bills  receivers.  Nothing soft or passive,

Wondering? 

Time will tell.  Lots of stinkers right in a row.   That stupid London trip screwed a lot of things up.

Bills beat by better team.  Never really in this game.  No running game, no legit #2 WR, and defense held together by band-aid at this point.  Von Miller has to make that play at the end of the game.   If Bills make playoffs and that is a big if at this point, will be exiting early.  KC, Cinncy, and even Miami better than Bills at his point.  Have to find a legit #2 WR in off-season and retool defense.

Dorsey is really good at calling HB draws out of the gun for no gain

[BillsDiehard]

This coaching staff has wasted away the last 4 years! 

[Dr.Sack]

Allen not happy with the grounding call. I thought the refs did what they could to limit our points there, but McD should not have punted with the clock running. 

[Old Coot]

This loss was on the offense. It scored only 2 TDs.

 

The defense allowed only 3 points in the 2d hald despite the injuries on D.

 

My initial take is that the O doesn't execute well enough to dink & dunk down the field and Josh can't seem to hit the long ball.

 

It would be useful if, when the all-22 is available, someone knowledgeable about such things would comment on why the O isn't more effective. Some of it is execution. For example, on two plays our WRs tripped over one another.

McD is 7/29 on challenges. I don’t know who he takes advice from or what his process is for deciding when to challenge but it clearly doesn’t work.

 

Offense started strong but then fell back into a rut where things looked difficult. The fumble by Kincaid was a killer. 
 

Gabe Davis with absolutely no impact on the game whatsoever. I hope we don’t pay him.
 

Defensively, we are missing so many guys but McD has to understand that sending pressure rarely yields a positive result. 
 

I have little hope left for this season. I think at best we are a one and some WC team. 
 

McD and BB have been here for a long time and unfortunately things are starting to get stale. I don’t see us winning a SB with this current regime and at some point Pegula cant just be happy with making it to the playoffs. This team clearly isn’t what it was 3 years ago. It might very well be time for a new leader. 

They should have won that challenge just insanely frustrating as with a timeout they could have had a chance to get the ball back with a stop

I said it back in Week 1 that they have to start rotating him out.

 

WHERE IS DEONTE HARTY?

 

 

Catching punts because stupid Hines wanted to Jet Ski.

What do I know but I feel just the opposite.  I think McD preaches conservative take what's there and that is what was working.  Dorsey likes slinging it as does Josh and that was what the Bengals were playing as Josh held it llooking down field and throwing it into the stands and taking hits.  I thing Josh trys to Mike Tyson his way through everything ........... he's all punch and no jab.  It takes him whole games sometimes to figure out just take what they are giving you.

On the intentional grounding, Josh tripple clutched to the check-down before trying the deep shot. It was like he knew what he should do but just didn't want to it.

[Since1981]

Murray pass pro = singltary

spread field wide for Josh 

josh or Murray run

 

how goddam complicated is that to figure out?

I’m not even that mad.  We don’t get totally embarrassed.  The Bills are nothing special this year. I can admit it. 

[Lionel Hutz]

I’m convinced even Dick Jauron could achieve more with this roster than McDermott.

Or if they had just stopped them they could have had the ball back with a stop ...............

Has anyone in here saw quite enough of the McDermott lead Bills to see they are not good enough to lead us to a SB yet?  How many years does it take?  

[TheFunPolice]

Between the rumors of Diggs being upset and thinking the window is closed and Florio with his Jenga tower crap after every single Bills loss I wonder if there really is some serious problem behind the scenes.

 

Not sure why or what it is because the record is the same as a lot of other teams that are showing a ton of passion and energy. 

 

Our guys don't look like they're having any fun at all. When Allen started his presser on opening night with "same s different day" I'm starting to think it meant something

why are there no other veteran experienced coaches on the staff?  we have two of the few elite players in the league in allen and diggs.  they deserve the same quality coaching.

 

They have like 3 or 4 former OCs on this staff.
