Andy Reid is a head coach #1. I never said we should fire McD. Incidentally, Reid wasn't fired after a playoff loss, he was fired after 2 losing seasons (still a mistake in my opinion). #2, Reid consistently got good production out of lesser talent at the skill positions. He has shown creativity, adaptation, and an ability to use his players talents. He's done so for 20 years. You're going to compare him to Dorsey who seemed to regress as the season went on? When the offense is struggling he just relies on Josh as a cheat code to get something going. I'd say we should be patient with him if he showed growth. But i didn't see anything to suggest he'll figure things out in his second year. I hope I'm wrong.

I know you're watching the games, and I appreciate your commentary trying to be a voice of reason. I don't like turnover either. But I saw abandoning the run, lack of creativity in route combinations, sending receivers to the same spot. These problems seemed to get worse late in the season. They were relying on super human efforts by Josh and Diggs every week. That's not sustainable. Like i said, I don't like turnover in coaching, but you have to know when someone isn't working out. Consistency for the sake of consistency isn't smart either. There are 4 ex coordinators on staff so they don't have to go outside the org.

How you get there matters, no? Miami scored 31 on us last week. Does that mean their offense played well?

I'm not a, "this guy needs to be fired..." but Dorsey isn't the guy. A slow start with visible growth throughout the season would be one thing. But the offense regressed down the stretch. That's not a good sign and doesn't give hope that he'll get better next year.

If both of our lines had Diggs' fire, we win this game. I wish we had more like him.

Coach Washington has done nothing to develop the d line.

This d line has 4 1st rounders and 3 2nd rounders.

Exactly what I've been telling my wife all game

Some of Tom Brady's baby aspirin?

I can't really get mad about this stuff. But I do hope Josh is watching and hearing all these pundits say that he's too mistake prone to beat Burrow. That's got to crawl under his skin.

I was born and raised in Southern California. Zero ties to upside New York. That game, of which you speak so vividly, is the game that made me a Bills fan.

If Josh Allen takes what the defense gives him and the offense pays with rhythm... Bills 34 - 24.

He's one of the best in the league at defending the deep ball. I'd love to have him back there against the Bengals. Also, why isn't elam starting again?

If i remember correctly, both Singletary and Morris were open in space. Same with the strip sack for 6. Two guys open on short routes. I love Josh and his killer instinct. But getting into a rhythm with short/ intermediate stuff increases the chances of hitting the deep ball.

I think you read my comment incorrectly. I said the Bills' mistakes let lesser teams hang around. That's exactly what's happening right now.

Agree. I hated all of the cockiness before this game. The dolphins have playmakers and we've let lesser teams hang around all season with our mistakes.

I just want any competent QBs to stay away from the Jets or Dolphins in the off-season.

Cook. I don't see big changes for our offense this week, but it seems like they've been getting him ready, over the past few weeks, for a breakout run in the playoffs. Dolphins are aggressive with the blitzing. That leaves them vulnerable to the RB screens and draws plays.

We need help on offense, but I can't really argue with you. DE is a premium position and you can never have enough good pass rushers. But like you said, you have to hit on them. Elite passrushers are rarely found at the end of round 1. Seems like you either pick one top 10, or get lucky with a late round gem.

Agreed. We need to help Allen. He needs protection and playmakers. I hate seeing these teams with young speedy playmakers. I love Diggs. He's one of the best route runners in the NFL. But he's not a game breaking YAC guy. We need some of that.

All Pro Milano!

As I stated, I do believe that the Bills will win. But I'm with you here and I really hope you're right.

I don't like over-confidence and neither do the football gods. The Dolphins, a division rival with nothing to lose, still have a roster of NFL players and the Bills, at times, play down to their competition. I believe the Bills will win. But I will not get cocky about this game.

Agree. I don't like how the defense matches up against the Bengals, chiefs, or dolphins. These teams have fast playmakers. We just don't have the speed. The defense relies on scheme discipline. On the other hand, I know they don't like how their defenses match up against Allen/Diggs. But outside of these two, we don't have much consistency on O.

Maybe we'd get one of their compensatory picks for the 2025 draft...
