Solid stopgap measure.

So, do you want to have a real conversation, or just be a dick? Every coach makes mistakes. It is clear over the past five seasons that McD is an excellent coach who does learn and get better as he goes. He’s a top 5 head coach in the NFL who would be grabbed in a second if the Bills were foolish enough to part with him. To blame McD for the loss on Sunday is absurd. The team was playing without 10 starters at times, yet they held Miami to 200 yards while putting up 500 of their own. Did you even bother to read the Kubiak article? They couldn’t run certain plays because of the OL and WR personnel on the field, yet still almost pulled it off. The long pass to Waddle was a breakdown that doesn’t happen if the experienced Hyde or Poyer are playing. Get over yourself.

I believe you.

Personally, I think 20 straight double-digit wins and 8 straight opening drive TDs speaks more to the overall preparation of the team than an 0-7 streak in one-score games that is clearly an anomaly.

I don't have the mentality to take a thread like this seriously.

That's @ScottLaw in a nutshell. If anyone is bored I'm sure they can dig up a dozen or more posts in which he expresses that exact concern that the ball will be taken out of Josh's hands because coach McEgo wants to have a run-heavy, ball control offense.

No, I am certain that McD's terrible coaching cost the Bills the win. I read it on this very forum.

Well then, congrats on the W. The Bills don’t win close games.

Having analyzed this scenario thoroughly, I can conclusively say “maybe.” Despite everything they were up against the Bills had this game in their hands and lost it. I’m not losing sleep over it, and I look forward to the next matchup.

Florio can pound sand. There were 7-8 plays yesterday that if one of them goes the other way, the Bills win. McD isn’t perfect in game day situations but he is NOT the reason the Bills lost yesterday.

So, some of you will say I’m anti-Lamar but I’m not. The Bills’ defense is simply well suited to contain him. If our D line is healthy and Poyer returns, I am not concerned with Lamar running and throwing wild. I’m much more concerned about the OL being solid and Josh not thinking he has to play hero ball. He was “off” yesterday and despite getting us in position all day he made some bad decisions and needs to play within himself.

Great to see you buddy. Agree with all of this; particularly the cutesy play calling at the goal line. Dorsey doesn’t always have to be the smartest guy in the room. It’s weird to say this but those long drives in the 2nd half hurt the Bills I think. It was dangerously hot out there. I don’t even know what OL combo was out there at the end. Anyone walking away from this game “worried” about the Bills’ Super Bowl chances needs to get a grip.

I love all of the “suck it up” tough guys in this thread. You’ve obviously never dealt with a heat exhaustion or heat stroke issue in real life. It’s no joke, and to subject one team to extreme conditions while the other is not is the very definition of cheating and unfair advantage. And we STILL should have won. There is an easy solution; allow cooling tents and fans, and schedule September and October games at 4 pm or later. Eff those effing mother effers.

I’m still trying to figure out what a “s-h-i-t-lib s-h-i-t-hole” is…

So, as fans we can take one of two paths right now…I choose the path that recognizes all great teams go through challenges during a season, and this is a phenomenal opportunity early in the year to prove just how deep this roster really is. Jaquan Johnson has been groomed for this day; Damar Hamlin as well. Cam Lewis played snaps at safety during the preseason. Even with five defensive starters out this is a more talented team than the stinking Fish from Miami. We have two rookie corners who are going to go out there with no fear. We have Von Miller! This defense will NOT be torched by the likes of Tuna Turntheballova. Oh, and lest anyone forgets — JOSH FREAKING ALLEN is our QB. Squish the Fish!! 20 and OHHH, Baby!!!!

Fasten your seatbelts. Big day for the boys in red, white, and blue. Squish the Fish!!! 20 and OHHH, Baby!!!

One of the happiest days of my fandom was the day we retired Shula behind over 300 yards rushing in the playoffs.

He graded out really well against the Oilers. Would hate to lose that depth. Umm, no, they’re not.

Get well 23. It’s Jaquan Johnson time.

That board and the Chiefs’ board contain two of the more classless communities of fans I’ve encountered. Sort of shocking.

I’ve been terrible at this the first two weeks. Let’s go with Dawson Knox.

Best uniforms they’ve got. Squish the Fish!

Will be there in style. On the plane now.

Love it! That’s gonna stick, bro.

Thank god you’re alive. We were worried.
