UKBillFan Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 1 minute ago, jkeerie said: No. He's losing the fan base. Not the locker room. Stop projecting. He took a gamble, believing they needed a first down. Once the first down pass was incomplete, they were locked in. In hindsight he admits they should have run the ball on first down and go from there. I think we all thought the same. The difference is, the majority of us thought they should have been running the ball at the time, rather than in hindsight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Analysts and pundits calling for his head all over social media right now. On the outside looking in, it’s believed he is the biggest reason we are stuck playing second fiddle to the Chiefs and are constantly being dealt mind-numbing end game losses. Analysts and pundits are all armchair QBs as are many of us. Who cares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 I remember someone saying in the offseason Beane is blindly throwing darts at the Wr position and hoping he hits.. Beane needs to take the blindfold off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PayDaBill$ Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 (edited) Winners find a way to win, losers lose. It’s that simple. McD is just a guy that falls into the later category. It’s the only explanation as to why the Bills can find so many ridiculous ways to repeatedly lose these kind of games. He’s NOT going to change and expecting so is futile. I’m kind of over being fooled. Edited October 6 by PayDaBill$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HereComesTheReignAgain Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 The #1 or 2 (depending on who you ask) player in the league has Mack Hollins as a starting WR and Joe Brady as an OC. That is criminal. The top offensive minds would have been crawling over each other to work with Josh, and the Bills chose to hand the job to a guy that has never been anything above average (at best). They have a ton invested in TEs, and Brady can't figure out how to use them effectively. Allen had 9 completions today and Kincaid had 2 receptions. Coleman had 1. It is so frustrating watching the Bills waste Allen's prime years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct. McD had confidence in his QB, which called for being more aggressive. In the past, McD has been criticized by this fan base for being too conservative. Now he did the opposite. I'm more conservative by nature in situations like that, so I would have run the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finn Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 I suspect Beane may have privately written off this season because he's taking the long view, hoarding draft picks and cap room for a big splurge next year that will set the team up for the next decade. Borrow from that treasure now, say giving up a second-round pick for an expensive receiver well past his prime, and odds are you get a lot less bang for your buck overall. I can understand this reasoning, but it's cold to condemn this year's team to a mediocrity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichRiderBills Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Good god w the Kincaid no challenge. It worked out, we got the ball back w timeouts and time to drive, then still stagnated w poor playcalling drive and gave it right back to Texans. This was the bad part, not the no challenge. I do feel the play should have been challenged but likely would have failed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAl2526 Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 I think the biggest issue in the Bills loss today was a shortage of mental toughness in the first half. Yeah, there mistakes in the second half too, but in the first half, after the first Bills drive, they looked entirely hapless. Josh couldn't throw on target. When he did get the ball to the receivers, they couldn't hold on. The defense had numerous breakdowns. More often than not, it appeared to be a breakdown of discipline. Stroud made some great plays to be sure, but Buffalo was off their game. I think there are some coaching issues. One think I've noticed is that If Buffalo runs the ball successfully on first down, they will almost always run the ball on the next play. Against the Texans at least, they were almost always unsuccessful running the ball the second time. I think the Texans knew what was coming and defended against it. Late in the game, when Buffalo had the ball deep in their own end, I thought Buffalo should have tried to get a first down using higher percentage plays, short passes perhaps. The odds of Buffalo scoring in that situation were slim. If they had made a first down, it would have been far more difficult for the Texans to move the Ball into long flied goal range. Just my thoughts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
