Carmel Corn Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 Is it just me or does it seem like McD is awfully involved in the offensive playcalling? My observation is that he is talking a lot between plays (on offense) and is covering his mouth with his play sheet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irregularly irregular Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 Is it just me or did it seem as though the Cheats*** defense knew the plays better than the Bills offense? Either that or LOTS of lucky guesses at what defense to play when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The refs spotted the pats 14 points and the bills still almost won. The best was when they were actually showing a replay of the penalty as the refs were saying they were picking up flag. It’s a joke. Oh, and Knox sucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimlach Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 The game was horribly officiated, much to the benefit of NE. Still, the Bills offense was "not prepared" for the 3rd week in a row. They did not score a TD in the first half. They cannot execute consistently. They clearly are making Allen stop running and trying to get more people involved but it seems the offense has a lot of mediocre talent after Diggs. There are no playmakers besides Allen/Diggs. Knox with another big drop, Davis invisible again, the OL was terrible in pass blocking. Something is wrong. Defensively, we were absolutely terrible on the first drive and on the last drive. In between they were simply inconsistent against a team that averaged about 12 points per game. Make no mistake, NE has terrible offense and a terrible QB, but not today. At least we can say "no Tre, no Milano, no Oliver, no Jones" but still, we have enough horses to beat this team that was literally circling the drain up until today. MCDermott and Dorsey have to be better. They have a tough game on Thursday with a short week. Thankful that Tampa will not have too much time to prepare, Bellicheck revealed a lot of warts today. This loss puts us two behind Miami, and that is 3 straight really lousy games, and we are looking more like a Wild Card with each passing week. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Train Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 A shame. I guess blowing the 13 second game was their peak. Allen was WAY off again and that's 3 weeks in a row they didn't even show up in the 1st half. Looks bleak. Another Thursday game and if they blow that, the draft talk and off-season FA speculation will commence. Schedule is very difficult the rest of the year and they seem to have lost their will. Dorsey calls a bad game quite often. I'll be able to focus on the Sabres and Bandits a lot more. So be it. We're just fans getting gut punched. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today he was never comfortable because the OL pass protection was poor, and he got out of the pocket a lot. The have cut back his running, he is running at 1/3rd the rate of last season at this point. After Diggs, there is Davis and Knox - and they have been disappointing and unreliable. After that is Kincaid, Sherfield, Shakir, and Harty. Kincaid has good potential, the others can contribute but they play at the journeyman level. The defense is what surprised me. This was a very bad Pats* offense going into the game, averaging only 12 point per game. Even with all the injuries (Tre, Milano, Jones, Oliver) we should have been better.

nfreeman Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 The last 3 games were like pretty much every game during the 18 years or however long it was before McD got here -- an unpleasant experience that was worse than about a million other things that could've been done on a beautiful fall day. The team has been acting like it got punched in the stomach since losing Tre, Milano and Daquan. They need to GTF over it or the season will be over in the next few weeks. Dorsey is the most likely scapegoat but I don't really think he's to blame. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorsey is the most likely scapegoat but I don't really think he's to blame. 2 division losses, Miami with a high powered offense, Kansas City is still the king of the AFC, Jacksonville playing extremely strong to date. While mathematically not eliminated, the Bills will most likely not make the playoffs this season. And if they do, they won't be playing at home. I don't see them going anywhere this year. The question I'm interested in is where do they go from here? Coaching, is it the issue? Are the players execution abilities the sole reason for their inconsistency, or is it coaching? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Josh is too big a star for the NFL to not have him in the playoffs. This is all just setting the stage for WrestleMania at the end of December.

Wyldnwoody44 Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 We have Josh freaking Allen... And we've gone Bob barker and neutered him. This coaching staff isn't capable of the big time. They're good enough to keep us relevant. Time to aim higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porous Five Hole Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 With the injuries on the defensive side of the ball, there’s legitimate reason to wonder if this is a playoff team. But I believe they are. The Bills will be favored to win each of their remaining home games and if the script follows, that’s nine wins. Cinci looks vulnerable, Phili is underwhelming so far despite their record, the Bills have won in KC the last two years, the Chargers aren’t good, and the Bills have been great against Miami in the McD era. Find a road win or two and let’s gooooo in January. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make the statement that the Bills are most likely not to make the playoffs is saying that they are a below average team. Can it happen? Sure. Is it likely? I call that an absurd notion.
