worst pass rush I've ever seen

Cook proving what a moron McD is.

At the exact same time. It was a legit TD. Really lucky but Legit.

Rapp lets his receiver go and is not within 5 yards of him when Wilson makes that throw. Garbage defense.

I think that would improve my mood immensely.

Thats a TD

Wow what a smart play.

Duke Williams got savaged for a tough catch drop in the playoffs and then run outta town. Since then we seem to have a terrible drop per game from this crew. So far tonight we have 2!

Been like a drought game so far!

Holy Crap all you have to do it avoid Ed Oliver is take one step to the right or left. Like a Matador and a bull.

Wow Davis with the high school level drop.

Billsy!

I saw all 4 teams the Bills lost to yesterday look very ordinary in their losses. But what I found most interesting is that the 4 teams that won seemed to have prepared thoroughly for their opponents. Even the Raiders had a good game plan for the Jets and their vaunted defense. Its something that troubles me game in and game out with the Bills. You never know if the Bills have particular strategy to target their opponents weak points. Sometimes that is evident and other times it looks like nobody watched any game film the week before and they are just resting on their laurels.

Did Allen actually acknowledge that what we did was taunting? My first thought when I watched that play was that Allen was pointing at the defender to confuse him for a split second in order to make it to the endzone untouched. What would he have been fined if he gave him a middle finger? or open palmed him ? waved bye bye? This league and its officiating arent just incompetent, they are really, really dumb.

Ive been screaming about this for weeks. The Bills dont do trick or deception plays any more because Dorsey enjoys his vanilla offense. He also apparently doesnt trust the offense to execute them either. Last week in Cincy they actually attempted one and it looked like they had made it up in the huddle. Josh ended up throwing deep to nobody. Actually come to think of it, I'm surprised those useless officials didnt call a 2nd intentional grounding call on that one. What used to be a very successful option in their offense has now completely been removed and so has the swagger of the offense.

I think Kincaid was a great pick but good for offense for dink and dunk. He's not a Gronk tight end who can bash his way to huge gains and TDs. A good compliment to the other weapons you have. The big problem for our offense is that we have no deep threat that can stretch the field, get us huge gains and long TDs and when not doing that allow the other receivers open. This was Davis, Sanders or John Brown (to a lesser extent) in previous years. This threat has sadly disappeared this season.

There's no way they are firing him right now. Maybe they agree to part ways at the end of the season but even that is iffy.

Kinda impressive/sad that a veteran player who has been sitting on the couch for months makes the best ,most impressive tackle of the game for our defense. It was rough and aggressive but clean tackle. Just the kind of tackle to rough up Burrow. Its too bad that the rest of the defense couldnt get a sniff on sacking Burrow in that game. He looked far too comfortable all night!

The Peterman decision was the most bizarre of the McD era. To think that McD actually based his decision on the fact that Peterman was a nice guy or good Christian and not on skill, readiness or possible game intelligence makes it even more perplexing. 13 seconds though is the by far the most telling failure of the McD era. Not squib kicking the KO and the defense that was called against Mahomes was insane. Now in 2023 we are faced with a tough situation caused by injuries and compounded by inept coaching and game management (Dorsey and McD himself). Does anyone trust McD to fire Dorsey who has proven himself not up to the job? or trust him and his defense to make a stop with the game on the line against good teams (like last Sunday)? I have no faith in him any more. The only positive I can see is if the players win for the team because they are going to have to do it on their own. The coaches dont make it easier for them to do it, they make it harder.

What an awful mess. If he's innocent and wasnt even present when the acts occurred then its a total injustice.

As insane as that sounds , you might be right. But with the benefit of a 2nd look showing no pressure on Allen why would anyone in the booth or NYC alert the on field officials?

TBH I always thought that the Bills could win a SB DESPITE their coaches. I thought over the last 4 years that they have the talent to overcome the incompetence of their coaches and even the bad officiating of the NFL. However the last 2 years have shaken that faith. McD overall has a good steadying philosophy as a coach but he has two big flaws. 1. He is inconsistent in his ability to prepare teams for big games. I dont know how anyone could trust him in a SB. 2. He makes a lot of bad in game decisions in close games. 13 seconds is the best example but there have been way too many other smaller ones in his tenure on challenges etc that have been poorly thought out. Unfortunately, I think these two flaws are fatal and my original premise that they have the talent to overcome them is over optimistic.

Araiza's civil trial wont be until February next year. So he will have to wait until then to have any chance of an NFL comeback. There's a good chance that he will be exonerated at that trial too.

I was all on board the fire Frazier train for his bend bend and do the limbo but dont break defense for most of last year. But now that McD has taken over our defense is now has done the exact same thing in 2 of our wins as Frazier's and just snapped and broken in 3 of our losses. As to the Schwartz idea, there was a snowball's chance in hell that was going to happen with McD. There is no way that his ego or stubborn control streak would allow that. Too bad though, Schwartz is an excellent D coordinator and beloved by his defensive squads. One of my only highlights of the Bill's drought years is Schwartz being carried by his players much to St.Doug's chagrin!

That Chargers pass rush! Wow. Thats how you rattle a mediocre QB,
