butch rolle Posted October 7 Posted October 7 I know there are bigger issues to talk about from this game than kickers but hear me out... When was the last time an opposing kicker missed one at the end of the game? Didn't most of you feel that the 59 yarder was almost a foregone conclusion? It was reminiscent of last year when the Bills had the Eagles dead to rights when Jake Elliot banged a 59 yarder into a driving rain to send the game into overtime. 3 Quote

Anything under 70 yards is automatic for most kickers. 1 Quote

I mean he had Kincaid open deep and underthrew it, and could have made a better throw on the deep throw to Hollins. 1 Quote

He needs to take ownership of the offense, that’s what he’s paid to do and should be doing at the highest level at this point in his career. 2 Quote

That being said, the deep pass to Hollins seemed to be spot on. Hollins appeared to lose track of the ball or pull up for some inexplicable reason. 1 Quote

Josh was off, but ya it's definitely an issue with the receivers not creating separation. Im the biggest Josh supporter, but he missed some passes he usually makes in his sleep today 3 2 Quote

I think today's star studded WR lineup is probably the same as the Kelvin Benjamin, Andre Holmes, Charles Clay days. 1 Quote

I mean at this point I think this group is a little better than that one, but man, we are in bad shape if we're comparing this group to that group. Remember when this front office traded for Matthews? Jesus they can't scout WR. 1 Quote

BillsDiehard Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Just watched McDermott's press conference, not very inspiring! He's a good not great coach that makes way too many coaching errors at this stage in his coaching career. So frustrating at how many opportunities have been squandered.... Quote

Dick_Cheney Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Pretty much all I've been thinking after these last two games, but especially after today's game, is that it sure seems like that Josh is feeling the "I have to do this all myself" sort of thing again. And nothing good will come from that. I don't know if we need better coaching, a better member of the O-line, or a true WR1, but we sure as hell need something and we need it soon. 1 Quote

He’s a good football coach no doubt but a horrible game day coach. He’s blown too many games with stupid stupid decisions 1 Quote

iwishitwerecolder Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Did Allen play bad today? Yes. Does it help we had Stevie wonder at head coach today. No. 1 Quote

We need a #1 WR most desperately. Shakir is a very good #3 slot guy that could be an ok #2. Coleman can make some plays. The rest are non factors. Quote

No. It feels like Allen is hesitating because he can’t trust the guys out there, and he isn’t wrong, they are almost all WR6 on other teams. Coleman and Shakir are the only exceptions, and Coleman is too new to be relied on and Shakir is a high end slot WR. Edited October 7 by Bruffalo 1 Quote
