The defense allowed us to even be in that game that late. I agree Dorsey was a scapegoat as I blame the players moreso Allen and the offense) than the coaches.
I completely disagree. Ya ya ya...the coach didn't drop the ball or throw the INT or fumble 3 times. But when this crap occurs over and over across games, IT IS COACHING. IT IS ALL COACHING. If Dorsey's scheme was as plain and predictable as we've heard, it makes sense that players weren't dialed into it...like a great band having to play crap songs. You need enthusiasm and one could see that Allen has been anything but, while he appears to mope on the bench. Brady is certainly different. We'll see what manifests. Allen will always throw INTs. That's fine as long as there are 2-3 tuds also.

Though the offensive woes have been chronic, they haven't moved the needle as seismically as 12-men-on-the-field debacle. I'm wondering if Dorsey still has a job had the wide-right stood putting the Bills at 6-4.
Dorsey failed when he lost the personnel —Dawson Knox—he needed for 12-personnel. Knox's injury vs. Jaguars started the crappy offensive trend (Knox played two more games but wasn't effective (see the 4th down drop vs. Pats)). Dorsey couldn't adapt to an 11-personnel approach, only being able to muster a predictable 2 X 2 motionless formation.
But none of that has a thing to do with 12 men. Hmmm.
-
Dorsey was and is all about 12-personnel, all the way back to his days as QB at The U. When Knox got hurt vs. Jags, 12 went to hell and it's been that way ever since. Dorsey did not adapt well to losing Knox and reverting to 11-personnel. It wasn't his forte and he was predictable. Now we have Joe Brady who is all about 10 and 11-personnel. Wonder if Knox will see the bench more when he returns...
I covered this over a week ago...

Maybe you're right. This is all Araiza Karma.

Reminds me of the heady days of Dennis Shaw.

What part of the process does this fall under?

No different than 13 secs. He should be fired before dawn.

This is coaching, folks. Every bit of it from the turnovers to the gaffes to the attitude of the team.

Houston plays with the fire/intensity/moxie that I wish Buffalo did.
Precisely. Hopefully, the Bills aren't trying get that feeling by winning. The feeling has to come first. Then the win.

We've all been dealing with our misgivings about the Bills. Here's what some other clubs are dealing with:
Cincinnati: "Who Dey?" should be rephrased: "What Dat?"
Jacksonville: "It always was the Jags" should be rephrased: "It was never the Jags"
Baltimore: "Seven Nation Army" should be rephrased: "Seven Nation Smarmy"
Los Angeles: "Bolt Up, Not Out!" should be rephrased "Bolt Out, Not Up!"
The Bills are going to be fine...
P.S. Bills Mafia thanks you, again, Tyler Boyd!

Orlovsky is a weekly guest on One Bills Live, just like Greg Cosel.
Cosell has NEVER openly criticized the Bills like Danny just did.

That's actually interesting. One can wonder.

this is a horrendous idea. no offense.
You're missing the point. Here's an analyst that's more creative than our offensive staff. Pretty And he's ripping Dorsey—carefully—on their own channel no less lol.
-
How is it possible that the Bills or any NFL team has anything other than a CREATIVE FOOTBALL GENIUS scheming this talented offensive roster? It's kind of incredible that the Bills own YT channel has aired these truths from the mouth of Dan Orlovsky, when the press conferences are laden with cliches.

If we were really committing to 12 personnel, why would we only have 3 TE's on the roster
How many would you like? And what other position group are you taking spots from by adding TEs?

Wait, so now we are blaming players that aren't even playing?
I blame Milano and white for having season ending injuries. Just selfish of them to want to get hurt so they'll don't have to play.🙄
Try reading the entire post before favoring us with your deeply considered opinion.

From the moment the Bills made Dalton Kincaid the 25th selection in the draft, the talk was about the offense running 12-personnel as a base package. The three early dominating wins saw the Bills running in 12 (the plays were there to be made vs. the Jets too). With two pass-catching TEs, the Bills run game was developing by putting opposing LBs in no-win situations.
Dawson Knox injured his wrist vs. the Jaguars and, though he tried to play through the injury in the next 2 games, let's be real: If the injury was bad enough to require surgery, I cannot imagine he was very effective during those games. See the 4th down drop vs Pats.
With the absence of Knox (along with Q-Morris being out with a high ankle), Dorsey seems to by trying to apply 12-personnel concepts to the 11-personnel sets he's forced to run. You can blame Dorsey all you want for the Bills' recent failures—he should be able to adapt back to 11-personnel better than this. But if you really want to place blame, the Bills' offensive woes nicely coincide with the absence of Dawson Knox. Hopefully, we'll be back to Dawson and 12-personnel before it's too late.

The Bills previous three seasons were all highly successful campaigns that ended with smackdown playoff losses...with the possible exception of 13 secs. That same 2021 season saw the Bills get to 7-6. And let's be honest, some of those 6 losses were far worse than we've seen this season. But, if we're really being honest, that 2021 team has to rank as the best under McDermott—the team that went 7-6 and won-out. Of course this 2023 schedule has tougher games ahead.
Ya, there's a point here: Maybe the Bills path to a championship is similar to the 2007 Giants or 2017 Eagles (4-6 at one point).

Apparently so...

It's a short week with less game planning. There were subtle hints during the Allen and Diggs pressers Tuesday. The Bills need a spark.
I am predicting we see the Bills offense go no-huddle for significant portions of the game Thursday, and beyond.
The K-Gun was unveiled 33 years ago. It may be time for Allen's version.

This feels like after the last time we lost a game against the Pats (wind game), everyone thought it was over. Long season, people need to take a chill pill. Still just a game out of 1st. Perspective.
Ya, and it was even worse by halftime of the following game in Tampa. Then it all changed. Well, here we go again.

I worry that Kincaid as the TE in 11-personnel looks makes the Bills offense effectively one-dimensional (no reason for defenses to bring in a 3rd (or maybe even a 2nd) LB). Might as well motion Kincaid and Diggs on nearly every play and just go full Daboll at this point.
Perhaps, but Kincaid made some great run blocks yesterday including a great seal on a Cook carry.
