10-18 on third downs, many long conversions is perfectly fine. What good is a sack, if it is followed by a conversion? Love the excuses.

Whose fault is it the defense was on for 40 minutes?

How did they get into the red zone? The D let them there. 40 minutes time of possession is all you need to know. Always excuses and sorry A lot of it has to do because McDermott is the coach on that side of the ball now.

shhhh!!!! Can't say that. Cincy was down 3 OL vs. Bills in the playoffs yet overcame.

How about they force a few 3 & outs? Lawrence had 200 yards passing the first half.

Yep not Frazier so many are happy. Yes injuries too. Yesterday they were not good, but get a pass. Is this because of McD 40 mins top is on them. But of course reading blame on the offence. They were not great the play calling was atrocious which seems to always be the case in close games but at the end of the day the defence was meh.....

40 minutes TOP is unacceptable. Of course because it is McD in charge some people here defend him. Yes the Defence was shorthanded but too many 3rd down conversions (10-18). However, not let Josh run and the dinks and dunks don't work in tight games. 2021 all over again. Josh is the key and let him play.

And was saying this even when winning. The offense shouldn't look so laboured. Hate those 30 yard passes to the sideline for a gain of 2. Josh must have been too told not to run.

Anyone else watch Lamar the last 3 minutes vs. Pitt? Issue is play calling.

Always excuses for the defense, especially with McD coachimg them. Regardless Josh need better play calling as I could predict most plays.

No surprise as when the Bills are rolling the dinks and dunks and moving the chains is great, but when from the second play of the game you could tell the Jags weren't going to allow the Bills to do that, time to use Josh to his full potential. For some reason he is no longer running and defenses seem to know that. Short passes pad the completion %, but the intermediate route is the Bills bread and butter Lawrence and the Jags moved the ball and their offense looked crisp while even early you could see the Bills were lost on offense. With Allen, completely unacceptable.

I have no idea why he isn't running. Doesn't help the team.

Why is everyone so excited about the defence? Jags controlled the ball, top, and too many open receivers.

This is what the bills needed as when things are too easy everything goes right but it really depends on how they do when they face a little adversity.

What happened to Josh running

Here we go a predictable offence that I can read right off the bat.

Terrible 2nd and 3rd do calls. Thx

41-21.... Or more.... Eternal optimist

My bad.... All the more reason as we see what he did with a competent QB in his final season (#1 & 2 receivers were Juju and Diante Johnson).😉

He's played for no QB's and put up great #'s as a rookie. Would have been a cheap price to pay and a big target, which is a good fit here. Hate that Miami got him, but certainly not enough balls to go around. His stats are the same if not better than Gabe with worse QB's. Would have come cheap.

I never said it was dysfunctional, just disjointed at times as if they aren't sure what they want to do (in my eyes). Baltimore has brought in more and m ore receivers and Jackson is still Jackson, but hopefully more weapons and his "escapability" will result in better results. Remember too he did win an MVP. Herbert throws the ball a lot more then Allen and the Bills and that is his strength. Mahomes too passed the ball a lot more last year (coinciding with Dorsey's first year). The last 3 games have been blowouts (took a while vs. Washington) and only one 300 yard passing game. What I'm saying is there still is a lot more that Josh is capable of imo.

Again 3 games where everything went right and the defense got all the breaks and bounces (except one deflected Tua pass). Happy with what I've seen, but still see more can be done.

And this is where I always get upset (throw in Lamar Jackson too). These three have offenses in place that do a much better job of playing top their strengths, which I still am not sure the Bills do. Rushing for Hurts & Jackson and Passing the ball with Herbert. As others have pointed out only Mahomes is close to Allen, however has the better offensive game plan.

95% of the time I can tell it will be a run play called and yes Diggs is one of many reasons I'm tipped off. The first two plays vs. the Raiders they went to the line and basically said to the Raiders "We're running the ball, because Josh was a bad boy vs. the Jets😉"

And that is my worry too and why I get so much flack here. I really think this coaching staff has impeded Josh's growth and potential in so many ways and if fully unleashed he'd put up more ridiculous #'s. The last three games have been cakewalks, but could have been even worse beatings if they did some things differently (not that they needed to). We've talked about the red zone and for the most part Josh hasn't run at all either. Add to that Kincaid and passes between 10-20 yards are down for now. The next test will be how the Bills respond in a tighter game, maybe some bad breaks, and if they fall behind by more then a score. They failed that vs. NYJ.
