Why? Would him trying to fight fans prove that he coaches physical football teams? This doesn't make any sense.

This is exactly it and it's not just the lines. The Bills are not a physical football team. Their defense is built to defend the pass, has only one real "run stuffer" in their front 7 and plays nickel as their base scheme, meanwhile they run a spread, pass happy offense with no running game.

Turnovers are usually a product of being under constant duress. If you are losing and having to press, getting poor blocking, dealing with unfavorable weather, facing difficult down and distances, etc. then you have a higher tendency to turn the ball over. You can't look at the turnovers in a vacuum like they were an isolated cause of the loss.

Couldn't agree more.

The thing that frustrates me the most is the total lack of adjustments by the defense. Indy basically came out with plan A and that's all it took. With all their coaches, top players, experience playing together, etc. they couldn't change the game at all.

Their pass rush has been consistent all season, but the run defense has been spotty. Not sure if that's on the personnel or the scheme.

According to Frazier at this week's press conference, they played their 4-3 as their base defense in one game this season- the Titans game.

They did play their 4-3 vs the Titans and that didn't do any good. I think it's the DL. They have to be more stout vs the run.

lol. How many wake up calls do they need?

Whether you consider Davis a disappointment depends on your opinion of him coming into the season. I saw plenty of posts declaring that the Bills didn’t need Sanders because Davis was going to step right in as the new #2, and how he was going to take most of Sanders reps anyway. However at this point there is no comparison. Whether Sanders is better than expected or Davis is not quite as good is debatable, but it looks like a little of both to me.

He totally held, but it had nothing to do with the play. Those are the calls I wish they would just let go. The refs could call a penalty on every play if the wanted to, but if it’s not a personal foul and has no effect on the play then I wish they would let it go.

I feel completely confident with Klein in there for either Edmunds or Milano. He's not quite as good as they are in coverage but he brings other things to the table and is a very solid backup and 3rd LB when they go to that grouping. He's not quite Alexander, but they totally need to keep him.

I tried it out but didn’t find much use for it. Now if they added the NFL I’d be all over it, but as it is it’s pretty weak.

Hulk smash!

Obviously not a complete rupture, but still pretty crazy.

Not just emails but texts, phone calls and even open air conversations are now being secretly recorded a lot of the time. There are cameras in businesses, residences, cars and on public streets. Heck, I wouldn’t be surprised if people started reading your minds and publishing your thoughts in a few years.

Sounded right on the money to me. Some things change and some things don’t. Football is a physical game. That will never change. The Bills offense hasn’t been physical since Daboll took over as OC. That needs to change if they are going to right the ship on offense and McDermott obviously knows it. Now let’s see what he does about it.

If you say so. I’m not saying your wrong, but the team obviously didn’t agree or they wouldn’t have gotten rid of them.

Unfortunately, they weren’t studs while with the Bills. That’s the issue. They leave and play better than while they’re here.

I agree with this part, but unfortunately that's not going to happen until the end of the season.

No escape from reality

The opposing defenses are not blitzing all that much. They don't need to. They get home with 4 or even 3 most of the time. That's the crux of the problem. Those are my thoughts exactly. I'm not sure what to call when you can't block up front. Pretty much nothing works in that case.

I don't think the OL is a high priority in the hierarchy of the team. QB and DL are obviously #1 which is totally logical, but it seems like every other position group except RB is a higher priority than OL. I don't think that's a good structure. For example, I don't think I'd be drafting and trading for WRs or TEs before the OL. As you can see from the last two weeks, if you don't have a good OL then those positions don't mean jack.

Dawkins, Feliciano and Williams have all regressed since last season. So you have to look at the OL coach and ask some questions. There may be individual explanations, but all three? That would be a heck of a coincidence without coaching issues.

It doesn't bode well for his future does it?
