The talent is fine (well, maybe not the O line, I agree we stink there). Diggs is a grade A stud. Knox is a good TE. Cook and Motor are a fine complementary backfield duo. A young guy like Shakir really flashed potential when we looked his way. We probably do need to upgrade WR2. So, yes, while we don't have all of the skill position pieces of a Philly or Cincy (we're probably comparable to KC), it's not as if we are trotting out garbage like the drought era Bills or the Packers or whatever this season. The major issues with the offense this season were scheme, play design, playcalling and then Josh's decision-making after being put into bad positions by Dorsey. It's telling that the Bengals offense looked effortless despite starting three dudes off the street on o-line. Their players executed great, but it was great coaching that put them in the position to bash our heads in. Don't get me wrong, Burrow is fantastic, but it's easy to be "Joe Cool" when you're facing zero pressure and all of your targets have 5 yards between them and the nearest defender. Who's the next great young offensive mind hiding out there as a passing game coordinator or QB coach? That's the guy the Bills need to be searching for starting today.

I hate excuse-making, but you'd have to be incredibly obtuse not to accept that the mental stress hadn't taken a toll on this team. You could see it in their energy level and lack of excitement leading up to the game.

The Saffold signing was an abject failure and Brown was a disaster all season. I hope it was just health related for Spencer or otherwise we need to replace a minimum of three offensive lineman this offseason.

If you just look at the numbers, maybe. But I have serious doubts he can help Josh progress to the next level as a cerebral playmaker.

If we are honest with ourselves, we have always been sort of a soft finesse team under McDermott. We don't appear to have a real identity outside of Josh Allen and a charitable fanbase that jumps through tables.

He won't, but I wouldn't be upset if he did

I'm rooting for the meteor.

Knox is a good weapon. Shakir looks good when given chances. Cook, McKenzie and Hines can make plays if utilized correctly. Look at KC. Yes, Kelce, but otherwise they have a bunch of trash at WR and a 7th round running back.

His knee was down short not that it matters

30 first downs incoming

Should have never entrusted Dorsey with the offense. Big mistake by Beane, McDermott, and Josh.

Beane needs to do some real soul searching after this one.

Allen hasn't trusted what he's seen for about 12 weeks now. He's been very mediocre and that's the truth.

Romo preaching the truth. Embarrassingly outcoached today

Incomplete pass, but Josh got destroyed there.

Not sure, but need to consider replacing both coordinators. Not winning ***** with either of those dudes.

I've had McDermott's back, but this game is seriously distressing.

I think he may retire

He is a below avg corner at this time.

Jesus both guys knocked out. Don't ever want to see the Bengals again.

Oh God. Poor Tre destroyed there

This is so demoralizing. Curious to see what happens in the off-season now.

Bengals cocky and nasty. We look like the weather. A bunch of snowflakes.

Seriously great tackling on display. We are officially irrelevant in the AFC now. Just another "pretty good" team in the clump of Balt, TN, etc.

Guess we are content getting blown out now.
