[Bills vs Jags Postgame thread]

I'm not saying anyone should be fired. I just have a question. Is there any other team in the NFL as hot/cold a the Bills? One week they look unbeatable, the next they look like they're competing for a top 5 draft pick. This inconsistency is frustrating.

 

Since my daughter was born, these games don't ruin my week the way they used to. But it's still annoying.

YES! We can hate PFF again!

Thank God. Things have been going too well around here lately. We needed someone to give the pitchfork treatment to.

[Week 5, Jagoffs v. Bills - Predict the Score]

I tend to be a pessimist with Bills' games.

 

But 31 - 21 Bills after a slow start from a circadian/Tre White dip.

The problem with Jacksonville is they have Josh Allen too.

And when Josh Allen faces Josh Allen it creates a bubble in the very fabric of spacetime which confobulates the time continuum, resulting in scenarios where even Urban Meyer can beat us. in this dimension ducks might wear top hats, fish might serenade the moon with love songs, and Sean McDermott is a humble flea merchant.

Trust me, i'm Einstein.

This is a well known postulate of the Time Cop Theorem.

Great to hear Romo give DaQuan Jones some well deserved recognition.

I thought DaQuan was our defensive MVP last year.

[Tre White Injury Updates (Torn Achilles now confirmed)]

We're just never going to see Von and Tre on the field together, are we? 

[Dolphins @ Bills Postgame thread]

I had a bad feeling going into this game. I was completely wrong and couldn't be happier. 

[Week 4, Fish v. Bills - Predict the Score]

This game feels a little like the Bengals playoff game to me. While I think the Bills are the better team, the dolphins offense is just firing on all cylinders right now. Buffalo doesn't seem to have it all together on offense yet.

 

Miami 34 Buffalo 24. I want to be wrong.

All I know is McD called McDaniel’s scheme “revolutionary” in the presser today. He’s scheming all sorts of creative ways to get guys the ball, a lot of misdirection, sleight of hand, magical stuff. No one is calling the Bills offense revolutionary or innovative. I think they could be so much more and I’m not a Dorsey hater. BUT it is extremely tough finding that guy who is a schematic genius. Panthers thought Joe Brady was one, now he’s in Buffalo as a QB’s coach after his failure.

Agreed. Dorsey is fine. A competent coordinator; one whom no one will confuse for an innovative OC. But how many innovators are out there? Reid, McDaniel, Shanahan? The last 2 are stacked elite playmakers as chess pieces. Maybe add Siriani to this short list.

 

Point being, which creative offensive mind do we hypothetically turn to with Dorsey gone. Believe me, I'd love one. This isn't a post praising Dorsey.

Isn’t this why the team has a highly paid coaching staff? They better get to work and scheme up an offense that accounts for Brown’s shortcomings. And remember….No team has 22 Pro Bowlers on their starting roster. 

I'd agree with this. We have a very highly regarded OL coach in Kromer. And Brown has absolutely elite size and athleticism. If his feet are slow, it's likely a mental issue rather than a physical one (thinking instead of playing).

[McD much better D coordinator than Frazier]

Watching this game, you wonder why Sean allowed Frazier to run the defense for so long. He was so timid and passive. Sean brings pressure, is aggressive and has the personnel using their athleticism. The thought of Miller, Floyd and Rousseau pinning their ears back with the ferocious play of Oliver and the other tackles in the middle gives fans confidence that unless you’re coming with elite O-lines, we’re going to dominate like the last 2 weeks. Next week, against Miami, will be a good barometer of how good we are.

Yet we always heard people saying that Frazier was running the defense that McDermott wanted. It's early in the season, but so far it looks like Frazier and McDermott have different philosophies.

Can't blame Dorsey for Gabe dropping passes

I agree with you. Now I'm not sure if it's Josh, or Dorsey trying to make Gabe a feature guy, but he's not it. They keep trusting him, too often he comes up short.

[The Mitch Trubisky comparisons are starting with Justin Fields]

I was never high on Fields. But the Bears organization did him no favors. They failed him. Completely blew up the roster before last season.

[Bring Kirksey up]

I think Dodson came in for Taron on the Raiders 16 yard WR screen/TD. Some kind of heavy package that we hopefully don't see very often moving forward. 

[Raiders @ Bills - 2ND HALF GAME THREAD]

I feel like this is what the Bills signed D. Harris for. Close the game with a power running game.

[If the Bills win tonight, does the narrative change?]

Damn, I hope not. Whatever, the outcome may be, this is week 1 of a long season. I, for one, will not let the results of this week, change my outlook on the rest of the season.

 

Also, I hope the media keeps the stock low on the Bills, giving the team a bit of a chip on their collective shoulder.

[Around the NFL Week 1]

Staley is a bad head coach, and Herbert, for all his arm talent, doesn't have IT.

[Around the NFL Week 1]

Offenses looking anemic throughout the NFL. Lots of low scoring games.

[Happy Trails Mort, Retiring From ESPN]

I'm old enough to remember the days when TBD hated this guy for his negative Bills comments, and his loyalty to Tom Donahoe. Anyway, I wish him well in his retirement, and I hope he is in good health.

[I noticed that there’s some national pundits that aren’t even picking the Bills for the play-offs.]

I get it. The AFC is stacked. AFC East is probably the toughest division in the NFL right now. The Bills looked ineffectual in their last appearance. And the masses love hot takes. Just like it was popular for people to pick the Bills as the SuperBowl champs last off-season, it is now en vogue to mark the Bills down as missing the playoffs this year.

 

I won't let this bother me, and I believe the Bills will, again, be in the hunt in January. Based on nothing but my gut, I do have a feeling that the Bills start off this season at more of a jog, then start heating up in November for a great Sprint down the stretch.

 

Go Bills!

[Is Tre Back?]

What games are you watching? Before his injury he was basically a shutdown corner. You didn't hear his name as the ball wasn't headed his way which speaks volumes.

 

 

Agree. Pre-injury, Tre was probably a top 5 CB in the NFL. Likely the smartest in the league.

LOL, the Jets are certainly the pinnacle of drafting!  🤣🤣🤣

Well, they did take Sam Darnold over Josh Allen. The damn Jets caught Beane sleeping on that one.

[Well that was an absolute crap fest - PostGame thread]

I have no issues with being critical during the season. But this was a  preseason game...with vanilla schemes...no game planning... and starters playing to not get hurt in a meaningless game. I'm not worried right now.

[Josh Allen: Assistant Offensive Coordinator?]

Seems like a good way to test if Josh is understanding the offensive philosophy, playbook, and Dorsey's method to calling plays.

Rooting for this guy. One tough SOB. Has the attitude to play OL in the NFL for sure. 

Size and athleticism as well. The guy is an elite physical freak like Spencer Brown.
