We will never get one with Beane/Mcdermott. They're not good, Beane got lucky with one pick.

I was thinking about this early. As far as how much of this is just teams adapting to what we are trying to do. It seems like the way to beat this team historically was make them nickle and dime you. Get in you two high shell. Make Allen dink and dunk, make them run. Well, that is actually what we have become as an identity now. With no downfield threat of any kind why are you going to stay in that shell? Who in gods earth wouldn’t press our WR’s right now and put another body in the box. You can’t just say “we don’t need to do something” in this league. That goes for one Dorsey refused to run and take the check down just as much as when Brady/Beane refuse to develop a downfield passing game. I don’t know what is with this team and its inability to just develop both elements. The foundation been there for years, but we just go all in on one or the other and refuse to be balanced.

There is a reason no QB and head coach have ever won a Super Bowl together if they don’t do it in the first 5 years together. Teams start to know their tendencies across the league by that point and enough teams will have game plans that one of them will always knock them out before they win it. Huge reason Bills and Ravens both need to find new coaches or QB’s. Obviously they will both choose to keep their QB’s first but if they keep the coach it will be the same old thing again and again. Both teams wasting their QB’s with head coaches who can’t take their players any farther. Have to make a change at coach if the Bills want to win it all. Won’t happen with the coach they have now. History already proves it. There have been 33 of them and they are zero for 33 so far.

They beat us. Maybe that's not saying something.

This line of thinking only works if they have proven to get it done in the playoffs before. They have not. They have fallen short each and every time. Eagles and Chiefs have earned their benefit of the doubt. I’m sure you can see that.

In the NFL you need to re-invent yourself every season and every week. Not For Long. Other teams will know your tendencies, know your weaknesses, and exploit them. McD & Beane are putting out the same schemes and signing the same players and we get the same result.

Throw one more C in there and we are talking about something else entirely

This one is up there with 3-6, 16-42.

In a word YES! Want to assign blame then look to the current offensive coordinator. Joe Brady is brilliant at run schemes and he sucks goat nads as a passing game coordinator. McD needs to find a passing game coordinator ASAP!

I said it in another thread but this team looks like a team that has had Super Bowl or bust expectations for years and come up short. It’s like they’re swimming against the tide this year. Nothing is easy. Everything is labored. How do you manage this team if you’re McD? What do you say to them? Put this one behind us men. One week at a time. Focus on how we play not our opponent. Whatever it is at this point I imagine it’s getting to be a harder sell.

If he does and gets involved at that level he’d be like Jerry Jones. That’s never a good thing.

McD should give a speech about the commitment and coordination of the Taliban attack on the Kabul airport during the US evacuation. A little jihadi talk always seems to get the boys fired up.

Considering the Super bowl champions lost buy two touchdowns to the Giants.. and there still one of the top contenders It is a league of parity.. once the playoffs come it is much more apt to judge by the best game you could play not your worst It doesn't mean you're going to play your best but it shows what your ceiling is .. any team can play a stinker But the focus goes up more in the playoffs.. do you think Josh Allen has the bills prepared and not fired up for a postseason game like today? I don't believe so.. everybody still thinks the Chiefs are the team to beat and we can beat them

We 100% need a fresh start at GM and Coach. We have for years.. Instead we fiddled around, happy that the drought was over and wasted Allen's best years

If you only focus on the highs and ignore the lows, and losing to the Falcons and Dolphins are some *HUGE* lows - you're getting an incredibly biased and inaccurate portrait of a team. If your floor is the basement, especially if it's happening as often as a third of your games, looking only at the ceiling is an incredibly short sighted thing to do.

Probably as many times as Dick Jauron said it after losses. The Chiefs also have Chris Jones.

AJ Brown is unhappy in Philly.

Hardnocks?

The title says it all. We’re stale. We shorten games on our own, despite the fact that our D is decimated by injury. But we also can’t play fast, because our WRs are trash. It’s no fun right now, and nothing is easy. It’s the first time I’ve seriously thought we might need a HC change since McD arrived. The fire and the joy just aren’t there.

Don’t think it’s fair to say the OL isn’t as good as in years past. They run into heavy boxes all the time and still somehow usually are effective. When we have to pass, they typically give JA plenty of time. Blitzes being something that can trip them up but that’s a lot of Brady/Allen with identifying blitzes and hot reads. And this is with nobody getting open so they have to hold blocks and with Kincaid, who on the rare occasions he’s healthy AND on the field, we signify to all that it’s a pass play.

As it stands right now we’d be playing the Pats in the first round lol.

I believe our offensive effectiveness depends on how defenses approach us. If they attempt to confuse Allen with zones and various formations, he is capable of figuring out their strategy. However, if they stack the box and blitz, it creates challenges for us.

Can't tell if serious?

This season reminds me of the season a couple of years ago when Dorsey was fired mid-season. Bills started off strong and then the offense seemed to get figured out. Same thing with this season, but this time we don't have an assistant coach who could step in for Brady, plus I don't think McD will fire Brady during the season (or probably at all).
