The problem is that the Bills forget Gabe Davis plays for the team. Gabe Davis is a good WR. He doesn't get enough passes thrown his way. Majority of the time he's out there blocking or doing whatever. Looking at last season's stats, he averages a mere 5 targets a game. Only two games did he hit 10 targets. He went over 100 yards just twice - once in the regular season and in the Miami playoff game, both games where the Bills were forced, against their will, to distribute the ball.

That's simply not a factual statement by Dorsey and the Bills. Your eyes aren't betraying you. Percent of targets through 6 games with leading receiver (by targets) Cincy has a sneakily similar problem to the Bills - it's Chase and barely anyone else. KC, San Fran and Detroit are superior distributors of the ball - and that matters because when those other players are called upon, they are used to performing. The distribution of the ball is the flow and rhythm that you want. Buffalo: Diggs 33.5% Cincy: Chase 33% Philly: Brown (AJ) 30.3% KC: Kelce 20.8% SF: Aiyuk 23.7% Detroit: Brown 26%

The 2023 Bills are setting themselves up for more Cincy-Buffalo Divisional game disappointment because they *still* haven't developed any reliable plan to get the hard yards outside of Stefon Diggs. There's no built in balance, and seemingly little interest to create any. It is concerning that through 6 games, Diggs has 66 targets and Davis is a distant 2nd with 30. Knox 25. I'd rather have Diggs as my closer with more targets in the 2nd half of games, and let my first half be targets to someone else and get them into a rhythm.

I hope somebody screams at ol Ken about his dog**** play calling.

That Giants ineptitude may have saved the Bills bacon this game.

When people ask why McDermott has a deceptively hot seat, this game, so far, is why. You don't go all in for this.

Firing Dorsey becomes a relevant, practical discussion. These plays do not make sense.

This offense game plan sucks. They will wear out the defense and keep the Giants in a game they have no business winning.

I'd do it. Part keep away, part production. He moves around the line, so I'm not worried about position fit.

James Cook is not an RB1 against good to great NFL defenses. Harris is. You use Harris to soften up the defense and then layer Cook in. Murray spells Harris. Harris makes even more sense when you consider the Bills use their TEs primarily to block and not catch passes.

I've had intense "Battle of Stalingrad" battles with the German yellowjackets (ones that like a house) here in PA over the last three years. I haven't seen any Eastern yellowjacket nests (ones in the ground). The battleground is an epic waste of spray, dust, bodies, and often a field of destruction in siding, soffit and insulation. I swear they have a heat camera like the Predator. I've long suspected that the German yellowjacket is the cause of the decline in lanternfly here in PA. The lanternflies are easy food sources for them. More food, more family. I also agree that milder winters that lack snow benefit the queens who are hibernating.

Mike McCarthy. Perfect weather for a firing - emotional owner with high expectations, media has the high expectations, coach with a team that persistently doesn't meet them. The franchise is glued to Prescott, who isn't the answer. If the Cowboys lose to the Eagles in blowout fashion or the lose to the Giants, Jones may do it.

To me, the signing of a *35 year old* cornerback suggests two things: 1. Many free agents have zero interest in being on practice squads. They'd rather sit at home than do that. 2. The Bills have no interest in messing with their active roster (other team's PS players must be signed to the active roster)

Their arms dealers - the Chinese and North Koreans, and I wouldn't be surprised if Iran is North Korea's best customer. Their proxies and friends - Lebanon, Qatar, Afghanistan, Syria Bordering countries wouldn't like the vacuum created by a country suddenly without any government.

The world will be lucky to avoid a world war because you've had US Presidents who thought better of going to war with Iran and I don't feel confident this White House has that same attitude, and neither the capability or desire to keep Israel from dropping a nuclear bomb on Tehran, after they make Gaza a parking lot. Iran is assuming the US and the West will restrain Israel, like they always have, and I wouldn't be so sure of that now. You need the Russians to talk to Iran, and well, that's not looking feasible. The US, Israel and Saudis know you can't invade or occupy Iran successfully, so the next best thing is to flatten Tehran, and to be honest, besides those in our own government who'd love to take out Iran, the Saudis would secretly cheer that on as well.

Similar seasons: Negative: Cocaine Josh can still make surprise appearances. The Bills still don't know how to use running backs. Make the game harder by using the TE position largely for blocking. The offensive game plan remains one dimensonal - it is still the Stefon Diggs show, and when that gets shut down by any team with a decent CB1, the Bills have nothing. Positives: The defense is nastier and consistent. It just wore out yesterday. The young players who get consistent game time are really, really good.

This year is the Super Bowl run. You're either all in this year, or you wait until 2025. Injuries make the mountain steeper, but you can't punt this season. 2024 is the remodel year if they want it before the new stadium, where a lot of names will leave as OP detailed, and reloading cap space where possible. The Bills aren't resigning any player 30+ and likely going to try to get out of White's contract. I wouldn't be surprised to see them take that dead cap hit. 2024 will be a lot of cheap contracts and rookies/second year players getting a lot of playing time. You want a Super Bowl caliber team in that new stadium, and it will have many new names.

Even prior to the season, I've been of the opinion that his seat is deceptively warm like Tony Dungy's was in Tampa prior to the Glazers hiring Gruden, and Jim Mora in Indy prior to the Colts hiring Dungy. The Bills are a *very good* team but can't seem to get over that hump. I think he's in trouble even if the Bills finish with a winning record. Another early departure from the playoffs could be it. Here's why: Yes, the Bills are enjoying sustained success, but the Pegulas do not spend all of that money to be "very good", and with each passing year, you're using another year of Josh Allen/Stefon Diggs prime. You'll have squandered Von Miller's time. You also want the team on an upward trajectory heading into the new stadium. Much of what has kept the Bills out of the Super Bowl is fundamentally tied to organization, strategy and coaching. As it pertains to this year, this team is loaded up for a Super Bowl run *this* year. The money has been spent, the players acquired, and again you've got bizarre organizational issues that fall to the head coach and his coaching staff.

The NFL won't ban the tush push until teams start using rugby formations on 1st, 2nd downs consistently.

I blame the coaching staff to a degree for Elam's play and Kingsley Jonathan exhausted a lot today. This isn't Madden - you can't shelf guys for games and then ask them to instantly play an entire game and also do it well.

The James Cook experiment needs to end. So much waste with those runs up the middle. Harris should be RB1. Coaching today was terrible.

I don't understand this team's fascination with James Cook. Play calling has been terrible today.

I'd be interested in knowing what kind of antibiotics you've used. The only antibiotic that works for me are the quinoline class drugs. The weak sauce penicillin antibiotics that urgent care and primary care doctors will prescribe usually dent an infection but doesn't completely kill it. Also make sure you're not Vitamin D deficient.

That made me LOL "Rogue dietitian 2: Countin' calories while countin' bodies"

Craig Ferguson wasn't too shabby with his show that ran from 2005-2014. He had interview skill was on the level of Carson, IMO. He had the right idea - he got out while on top, before he got stale. Fallon's show broke the mold with the games and skits and The Roots as the house band, but even that runs its course without a refresh, and the Roots haven't done anything in years. The 90s were an awesome time for late night TV. You had breakout stars like Arsenio, Conan and Craig Kilborn and fantastic disasters like Magic Johnson, Chevy Chase and Howard Stern. Stern's show was a harbinger of what was to come - not a lot of people found mainstream Howard all that interesting.
