Surprise surprise, defending McD again. You are one of the best posters here, but it is so often a McD defense. Heck you know way more too about football than I do, as I rely on the eye test (not wearing rose-coloured glasses). We have the most explosive qb in football (1 & 1a Mahomes) and as said two lopsided victories, but I am concerned as to what I see on offense. I hope I'm completely wrong, but much better to talk about it now after back to back blowouts then after a loss. Sorry McD, you don't do that to Allen.

So again the fact some here (yes me included) thought the Bills offense was not great at the end of last year (and we all saw the Cincy game) and were told by the likes of you that we were wrong, has nothing to do with still seeing some of the same this year? Beat Miami 45-42 and next week I'll go on about the defense.....😉🤣

Shhhhh!!!! Again not what people want to hear.🤣😉

Yes you can always throw out Allen Scrambles, as they were not designed plays. Up 30-0 at the end of the game, yes it is going to be rushing plays, and prior to that the running game was meh. And one catch from Gabe is not enough.

Again take a look at the conversions and basically it is as usual because of Josh. I get it, you are a glass half full guy. I'm sure you said the exact same thing down the stretch last year, when a # of us expressed concerns with the offence. How did that workout vs. Cincy? The Bills were fine yesterday, just making an observation that the Offense. Have the Bills won 6 Super Bowls? Did I miss something?

Again the Bills had barely 300 yards offense prior to the last drive. They had 58 yards rushing (taking away Allen's runs) prior to the 64 yard drive at the end.

Yep those big runs in the 4th quarter when the game is over looks great on the stat line. The Bills blew the Jets game, which makes this week that much more important and regardless of the points the Bills have scored, the offense needs to be better. Davis dropped one yesterday.

He should have. Agree there were too many 3rd & longs.

Agree with 90%, but one catch by Davis and very little from the TE's for the most part to date. Not really easy passes over the middle (outside Diggs). Yesterday the defense pounced on everything (and 9 sacks). That's an anomaly. The Bills were just okay on offense and this has been the case going back a while (not just 2023). With Josh, that's not acceptable imo.

Shhhhh!!!! That's not allowed here as no one wants to hear that. Yep bang on and remember saying the exact same down the stretch last year and being drowned out. Bills fans think they can turn it on whenever they want and the issue right now is Dorsey's offense, which should be improving as he gets experience has actually been stuck in neutral for the most part.

Great so McD has decided to take away their greatest strength Josh Allen and put a muzzle on him? Maybe he can do the same thing with Mahomes?

As I said over-reaction and pretty sure they need to be better vs. Miami, but who knows. Lot's of third & 10's and similar and oops forgot to mention 4th down issues.

Yep 75 points the last two weeks (7 by the defense) and a very scary Miami team this week. Yesterday was never in doubt, but face it the Bills only had 16 points entering the 4th. Been said in other threads and not ready to state this is a serious issue, but the Offense just seems a little off (and let's forget about the Jets game). Week two I commented the red zone was somewhat of a slog and while the Bills moved up and down the field, it was primarily dinks and dunks and little over the middle. No screens, TE's seem underutilized and none of those 20 yard lasers Allen is great at. Yesterday a great TD pass to Davis (his only catch of the day) and a few bb's to Diggs, three big scrambles by Josh and the last drive 64 yards rushing (with the game over), but again the offense I hope is a work in progress as I am not seeing a team firing on all cylinders. As said hope it is just an over-reaction.

If the Bills eek out a close win, sorry yes a wins a win, but will not bode well. Of course then the cup half full side of me will say that "The Bills learned they can't take things for granted". How many times have we "Fans" said that over the past 3 years????😉

I love the 180 that happens here..... All of a sudden the Bills offense is unstoppable and works to perfection as long a Allen dinks and dunks and the Bills are rushiong 7-8 yds/carry. There was a ton to like, however yes I hated that first drive, where after the Jets game I knew even though down 7-0 it was going to be runs on first & second down. This week it is Washington who irrespective of their 2-0 record are not a good team, so expect yes a 20+ point victory and anything less will be a disappointment. Again want to see more of the intermediate ball that Allen was lethal with in 2020-22.

Again you forget McD is the saviour of this franchise. He is a decent coach, but has his flaws. The Bills generally win or lose due to Allen as regardless how he plays, every opposing coach is scheming on both sides of the ball how to beat the Bills. This is the same with Mahomes as they are the two most dynamic qbs in football and you go into every game figuring out how the offence will score 27-30 vs. Buffalo or KC, control TOP and the defence holds them under 24. Yes plenty of games where they don't score that many (see first two weeks KC), but that doesn't mean the game plan changed. You don't want to see Mahomes or Allen on the field.

I love that I elicit such vitriol from some members here. Sure even if I pull out the pom poms and praise McD to the heavens😉, the same people will find something wrong.

You're not allowed to say that after scoring 38 points.😉 I thought the same thing and said similar in another thread and had the usual vomit, eye rolls and thumbs down emojis.

And that was my concern, yes small issues in a 38-10 game, but three red zone trips that resulted in difficulty getting it in the end zone. So what if I like to see 15-20 yard td strikes???

They couldn't score from the one yard line (two cracks), another time it was on 4th down and the Shakir pass was something only Allen & Mahomes could do. This too goes back to 2021 and issues in the redzone.

Agree with the rollercoaster. I was just noting a few things I saw. Can I also say, screen passes too should be better executed? Yes only week two, but lots of work still to be done imo. They scored in the redzone, but none were easy. The throw to Shakir was something only Mahomes & Allen can do imo. Why? Because I had a couple of issues? Isn't that what the board is for?

Kumbaya, all is now perfect after a 38-10 win.🤣😉

I get the homerun plays may not be there, but the chunk plays are missing right now. Yes only two games in. Worry is again that McD will want to neuter him (which he has done in the past).

While a lot to be happy about, I saw some reason for concern. Coming out after the Jets game, you just knew Josh was on a leash and the first two plays being runs, I knew that was going to be the calls and that first possession was garbage. Add to that again we couldn't score from the 1 yard line and needed a second 4th & goal from the 1 to score another time. How has this become a pattern of late? No real deep balls and most down field plays were Allen buying time or just Diggs shaking his defender (and one big pass to Davis). 2021 Allen was the king of 15-20 yard lasers. Yes a much better game and took what the Raiders gave them, but still seems like something is missing.

The Bills were fine and while 38 points still seemed disjointed at times.
