I can’t repeat enough that we seem to be ignoring the hammering he took including an injury immediately proceeding this throw.

Yes, this is silly

Read the first three words of the title really excited, then the next 6 sad

Oh boy. He’s not paid like an adequate pass rusher my friend. And that is the problem. He’s paid to be the guy. Nick Bonitto doesn’t make that much more and regularly shows up, same with Karlaftis. Those guys who are paid double produce in excess of double the plays imo. For the record, I’m a Groot supporter but his play is like you said… adequate. Adequate isn’t what you need if you has aspirations of a Super Bowl.

Here are the three reasons we lose to lesser teams: 1. Turnovers 2. Turnovers 3. Turnovers Ok. I know it's more than that but the Bills in past seasons hardly ever turnover the ball. In the last 3 games we turned it over 8 times! That's not Bills' football.

I guess the bottom line is, whoever is allegedly in charge of the circus at OBD needs to go. Too many misses in the draft and in free agency.

This as a first step. Or do what NE did - hire a defensive minded head coach who is confident enough to bring in an experienced, elite offensive coordinator. In this way you get the right culture and right strategy/tactics for your elite QB.

Rousseau is a complimentary DE, being paid as an A. He’s would be best served in the role rotating DE’s, Autry and Barnett, play for DeMeco Ryans i.e. playing early runnings downs then bring in the absolute game wreckers in Anderson and Hunter. Sure, he has had some nice tipped Int‘s and plays, but he has not once had a game that’s he’s completely taken over. A huge problem is the Bills do not have anyone on the defensive side of the ball the opposing offenses have to game plan for.

Have to cut the head off the snake, McD has to go and take his assistants with him

That's an assumption on those other teams, none of them are playoff proven. Just like when KC was a wild card team a few years ago and everyone thought their offense wasn't good enough, and then it was. Last year the Bills allow over 40 points in back to back games, and everyone thought we were screwed. Then the defense does well in the wild card and divisional games. If the reality is an 11-6 Bills team goes into Denver in the Wild Card game, I'm still picking the Bills to win.

hire a real DC

Just wait until KC has a 3rd place schedule next year. They will probably get the #1 seed.

Some so called bills fans just don’t like Allen. So when he makes a bad play (which every Qb does) they love to point it out and say I told you so!!! We would be a two win team without Allen, but let’s not pick every mistake he makes. Unbelievable!

Tim Settle and Poona Ford are Exhibits A and B for the prosecution. Both were very good with their previous teams before coming to the Bills. Neither was used effectively while with the Bills. After they left they returned to being very good D linemen. I call this the Bills Disease. Take very good (or better than that) D linemen, and turn them into JAGs. Who knows, even Rousseau and Epenesa might turn out to be good if they go somewhere else. Remember "it's the economy, stupid" well for the Bills "it's the coaching, stupid". The announcers are excusing the Bills trash run defense by repeating the fact that Ed Oliver is out. Well, Oliver is good but not nearly as good as you'd expect from his draft position or from the comments I hear. He gets run over just like the other DTs, and his splash plays are very infrequent. McDermott uses all 11 as a unit, and that worked great when Poyer and Hyde were back there (while Poyer was still fast). He wants his D line to control blocks and let his LBs and DBs make plays. Back when Milano and White and Johnson were good players, and Poyer and Hyde were on the field, that plan worked. Now our D line can't control those blocks, the LBs aren't as good and they're helpless against O linemen charging past our D line, and our DBs can't make plays.

This is the second high draft choice that's proved to be a "head" case. Remember CB Elam? I know its tough drafting at the end of the 1st two rounds. By then the blue chippers are gone. It also can be difficult to predict who will adjust to adversity in the pros. Sometimes high draft choices excel in college because of above average natural talent and playing for a team loaded with blue chippers. Anyone have any insight into how coachable Colman is? He's not going to beat you with his speed so he's got to do it being a smart route runner but he's not good at that. It seems he was drafted for his height and leaping ability but you can't make a living in the pros specializing in back shoulder catches. Do the Bills have a sports psychologist on staff?

If I kept him, McD would never make another coordinator hire again.

I was extremely hopeful at 4-0 - but the signs were really there, even at that point. I realize now that I let my inner homer take over & was sure that even though we didn't look great, we were still winning and "figuring it out." All we've figured out is that we're not very talented. I'm not sure if we'll get another team like the one we got used to for about 5 years - where we were always top-tier and scary, even in bad stretches. Like, this is a bad stretch - but we're not top tier, and we're not scary. We're just another team now.

Maybe Benford... maybe... he is not playing lights out either.

I'd hire Mike Tomlin. Make Pittsburgh fans happy and get a coach that won a SB with Josh Allen like Big Ben. He'd know how to coach a defense and hold everyone accountable. Wouldn't have to worry about retreads or Carolina has beens

I can see the team using all their timeouts in the first drive. Also, Daboll arrested on an assault charge for tackling Kromer.

No. Maybe he was better than Dorsey and Brady. Maybe. But that doesn't mean he was good as OC.

I’d rather have a light in the pants DT playing Rousseau’s spot for 17 million less.

Can you blame them?

Something almost unfathomable... This is the 3rd straight Prime Time loss now, something the Bills and Allen typically have excelled at.
