  1. Dave Portnoy must be pissed. He is an amazing QB but definitely proving to be injury prone.
  2. Regardless if he is a dictator or not the writing seems to be on the wall for McD’s tenure. Either the death spiral continues and he’s let go at end of the year or the ship corrects course. Issues will be if we go like 4-3 down the stretch and either barely miss playoffs or are one and done. During McD tenure I don’t think I have ever said that we out schemed the other side and the coaching blunders, beyond just regular crap like bad challenges and stuff, always seem to bite us.
  3. Defense as a whole, up until the past crucial drive played ok. I was perplexed some to see Von drop back in zone a couple times. He just looked so ineffective and slow that seemed like a dumb idea. Memory serves me right, the donkeys got first downs each time.
  4. I feel bad for the guy as a person but this was needed. This year at the J-ville game a bunch of us before the game were hanging out up front in stands for warmups and I remember watching Dorsey some. Watching him I told my wife, man that guy looks nervous. He was by himself just starring out into nothing and talking to no one. It was bizarre. Just seemed to be in over his head contrast that with 2019, on field before game and saw Daboll. He took pic with me and young son. He was out there talking with players and gave Josh a big hug before game. Dorsey needed to stay a QB coach longer or too bad the Giants didn’t take him with Daboll. Wish him the best but this needed to happen.
  5. I wasn’t excited but it was needed. But seems about as much of a win win that we could get w/ exception of McD being relieved. If we pull off a miracle and win next seven games then we IDd a problem. If not, which is more likely, it definitely creates a compelling case to fire McD. I am so grateful of the turn around and what he has done but he is a poor coach when game is on the line and team is regressing. Time for a change if we hope to salvage what is left.
  6. a bit of an overreaction no? We all want Josh to succeed, he’s an amazing talent …ya da ya da but he is really REALLY struggling this year. Get your head out of the sand. A lot of things need to change next year and Josh’s play is one of them. Go Bills.
  7. I can’t really put my finger on why but it seems obvious and clear that McD has lost locker room and players don’t believe in scheme, coach, process whatever. Couple of weird observations 1. handshake with Daboll. Clearly those guys don’t like each other yet our QB and many former players love Daboll and I think Josh says he talks to him every week 2. WR coach leaving after last year to take a lateral job. Just seems odd. Things are off and at least getting to point that I remember during drought years where you move into phase of comical acceptance. 12 men on field definitely helped with that. next year we definitely need coaching changes as our cap situation won’t allow much roster movement. Ughh. Go Bills.
  8. I know Josh loves golf and that is fine but it sure seems like he has not focused on training with WRs or development the last couple of seasons as he has become more Hollywood. I don’t want to believe it and these guys definitely need an off season to reboot but I hope he gets back to training with Palmer and maybe throwing some with WRs.
  9. Yep, I feel for Diggs as he is likely on team for at least a couple more years and will be past prime when he can move on from this staff. He saw writing on wall about coaches and Josh’s regression. I think he knows the something of why Josh is not focused anymore.
  10. They just did the all out blitz the play before and it worked. Wilson and Peyton are not idiots.
  11. The second blitz package on third was such a bad call.
  12. No way and we don’t win. This sucks
  13. Is Ariaza still available. The guy forgot how to punt. Josh has more of a hang time on his INTs.
  14. The Curse of Brittany Williams
  15. Thanks to all that served especially to combat vets. Funny Bills story. AF vet deployed for year. While gone brother put me in for Perry’s Ice cream Best fan of year and used a picture of me at a T-wall with a Buffalo Bill painted on it in Iraq. Also either as a joke or something for favorite flavor he checked sugar free rainbow sherbet as fav flavor. Anyhow, we were a top 10 finalist and winner get tixs to Tampa game, go on field before and threw tunnel. But I was gone for year and wife (not a native WNY but had become a Bills fan) and mom got to experience it all. She still remarks at what a specimen TO was. They did put my picture on jumbo tron I think with a giant rainbow saying fav flavor sugar free rainbow sherbet. I still catch sh!t from some buddies about that who were at the game. Thank you vets. Go Bills.
  16. I really hope Hyde hangs them up after this year for his and Bills sake. I would hate for us to be tempted to bring him back and personally it seems like he is one hit away from being truly physically broken. Both him and Poyer have been amazing to watch but it’s time
  17. McD is the epitome of playing scared to win. I hated that it happened but Bengals decision to pass on that last drive and pick up 20 was respectable. McClappy would never do that. Like bucs game, we would run it three plays and punt
  18. How much guaranteed money did McD get with the extension? Would he really be opposed to getting canned. Seems like a solid dude, changed the culture but isn’t going to take us close to a Lombardi. If we miss playoffs and he’s still coaching, Josh will forever be Phillips Rivers 2. Unfortunately I see that happening and that is what makes this season especially depressing at this moment. I still hate the fact he authorized the hanging of the Lombardi in field house. #stefisright. Go Bills
  19. It always seems so pretentious and somewhat ironic for the posts that sprout up lecturing fans (fanatics) about negative posts on a community message forum board. Yeah there are people who are negative and positive, crazy opinions and rational ones but please spare everyone the lecture. Don’t like the opinion then just move on or comment.
  20. Sad reality is that we are probably looking at next next year….where Josh will be 30. Ughh. We got so much cap space being eaten by people who are not on the field. Buckle up. Go Bills
  21. I really wish we didn’t have so many prime time games left too. The wheels seem to be coming off and I wish it wasn’t in Primetime.
  22. Look at the schedule in 21 compared to the one we having coming up. Denver coming off of a bye and having just beat the Chiefs. We could be in trouble.
  23. Who do we target in draft. Gotta be a WR and maybe o line
