With Q-Morris out with a high ankle, this will put the Bills into many more 11-personnel looks. It will also feature Kincaid more, which shouldn't have taken seven mothertucking games to achieve. One positive is it will differ from what is largely on film this season.
And what in the name of Elbert Dubenion were they targeting injured-wrist Dawson Knox instead of Kincaid on 4th and 2. What the blooming f u c k

The Bills lost to the Pats. I repeat, the Bills lost to a joke of a team, the New England Patriots.
This isn’t some situation where the Bills are working through things, learning as they go. This team has horrendous coaching and the window to win with McD is closed. It’s over…
The 49ers lost to the Vikings. Not a shred of difference. They're all ALL professionals. The 2021 Bills went 7-6, then dominated until 13 secs. Now they've a target on them too. Get a grip.

LMFAO. McDermott is an EXPERT at pressers. Here's where he learned...

It's fear of failure. And that fear will overpower the best preparation. It began with a tired team playing in London after a mismanaged travel itinerary. They were still hungover from travel and the loss when they struggled to beat the Giants (who were—and are still—better with Tyrod). The defensive injuries have put the relatively uninjured offense under more pressure. The fact the Bills were favored by more than 7 in the last two didn't help either.
Other commenters submit this feels different than 7-6 in 2021. I don't buy it.

How about getting his name right? DORIAN. SMH.

How about we remember that most teams—with even a flicker of common sense—would travel to London immediately after the preceding game. Like the Ravens as I write this post Monday morning. This is on McDermott. As well as Milano's injury that doesn't happen if the offense had demonstrated any type of proficiency in the 1st quarter. Maybe the pinheads in the Sports Science department should have made a test trip....or like may google the effects of Jet Lag. Hell, I'm surprised their brains even have enough power to move their mouths.
-
Sports science my ass. They should have flown days before. Then maybe you don't have four !@#$ punts to start on offense because you're not still in a daze from jet lag (which is terrible going East to the UK). Without the four punts, Milano probably doesn't get hurt because he wouldn't have been on the field for the entire first quarter. #PhuckingBillsy
OUt.

Rousseau's absence moves the needle a bit. And they need this "home" game.

He's annoyed because the jet lag from eastern US to UK particularly sucks. And, as for the massive presence of Bills Mafia, it was less of a surprise and more like "Well, what the ***** did you expect??".

As Aaron Schatz so aptly put it, the Bills are the post-hype-sleeper amongst NFL teams. What he didn't predict is Burrow looking like a DIII rookie and the Chiefs looking positively ordinary—including Mahomes whose 4 interceptions look pretty horrifying compared to 17's 4. Tirico stuck an asterisk on the Lion's win at Arrowhead, so he'd probably do the same if McD hoists the Vince. Oh wait, the show is on CBS in Feb.

NFL has points made as factor in ties for standings so I do not think it is bad karma unless someone gets hurt especially on a scoring celebration.
When you're up three or four scores in the 4Q, you DON'T keep sticking it in the other team's ass. It is most certainly bad Karma.

Yes the Bills shock the league as they shutdown Miami.
No less improbable than 70-20 last week.

There's an old saying about scoring too many points—beware, you made need some of those points next week. This is an example of the early big-win effect, a subject that's been deeply studied by psychologists. An early-season big win, without losses to aggravate the effect, creates a super-high with the team (its a huge dopamine effect).
A good hit of dopamine is the best chemical high a human or a team can experience, but it's a double-edged sword, because the human or team will want the high again, but the standard for it was set at 70 points. Now, Miami didn't intend on scoring 70 vs. Denver, but since they did, that's their standard. They will try to repeat that performance—which based on the history of the league, is highly unlikely. This will cause frustration. Had their 70-point win occurred in, say, week 13, there would be a feeling on that team of having worked toward that pinnacle. Because it was achieved so early in the season that won't happen.
This not to predict a Bills' win, but Miami will spend the season trying to reproduce the "mile-high" feeling they got at sea level in the stadium formerly known as Joe Robbie.

Yes. And had the OP also watched it, we wouldn't be dealing with thread anyway.

SERIOUSLY?????
Daboll's offenses pre-Josh ranked 32, 29, 22 and 24.
Daboll's offense with Josh ranked 30, 24, 2 and 5
Daboll's offense post-Josh ranked 18 and 28 (so far in 2023)
Looks more like Josh made Daboll than the other way around. And unless Daniel Jones starts to look like Allen, it'll prob stay that way.

No prediction except this: The 70 points scored by Miami last week is an historic mark, especially in the SB era. The issue for Miami is that the likelihood of it happening again is low. The Dolphins have, in game 3, set a benchmark for the offense that they won't repeat, but will be compelled to try and match each week. They have essentially set a standard that is too high and will be undone by trying to recreate that performance. They will press—just like a QB trying to maintain an edge.

All of that is not a distraction. He was trying to live up to the Madden cover. He doesn't need to. Just hit the open guy.

Gabe was hurt last year and has had a great camp. I get so sick of these narratives and DROUGHT AFFECTED Debbie Downers that feed off them. Gabe hasn’t had a regular season snap yet….bottle the acid until there is a play to opine on.

It’s DROUGHT EFFECTS affecting Debbie Downers that are local and cannot escape the news.

Watch some freaking film before you crush the O-Line. Allen had 12 dropbacks vs. Steelers. 6 were clean pockets. 3 pressures were on the OL (Dion, Cybo, and Spencer) and 3 were on Allen himself when he unnecessarily escaped the pocket.

Well....it kinda was for three games. They've been off their feed since the mis-mangled..er..managed trip to the UK. This short week is the best medicine.
