Speaking of Diggs in NE. against the Saints last week, he went 3 for 3 for 28 yards. Seems like he found that cliff again...

Or the Ravens!

Can you imagine JosH Allen with those Bengals receivers?

I've lost confidence in Joe Brady, as Josh Allen was under so much pressure from that Falcons defensive line. It also looked like he had no time to throw and nobody to throw to. Allen used to kill defenses that would try and blitz him, and in this game, there was a reversal. Four sacks, two interceptions, and where was the dump-off guy when the pressure hit? Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Falcon defense look very much like what we saw in the last Super Bowl, with the Eagles defense dominating the Chiefs offense? Is this what the Buffalo Bills would have looked like had they played the Eagles in that game? Protection scheme fails, QB no hot throws with him under pressure! WTF, this Falcon defense was rated as the highest blitzing team, and how was this Buffalo offense not ready to face this defense? QB Josh Allen looked rattled. It's like there was no game plan prepared to take on this defense...NONE! This game made me rethink that no NFL team is going to steal this OC if he allows his QB, as talented as Josh Allen is, to look this bad. Actually, I'm now wondering if McD is contemplating replacing Brady or hiring a passing game coordinator? Lastly, when James Cook is cooking and the run game is working...why not keep doing that, and yet Brady stopped utilizing him in this game and the Saints game. Cook with 53% of the offensive snaps when the kid is another Thurman Thomas in the run/pass game. Use him in the slot, for check downs out wide...USE HIM! The Buffalo offense failed big time in this game, and it's all on Joe Brady in my view.

In his PC McD stated he did NOT take over the playcalling in that Falcons game. They made the right adjustments in the second half, but still they looked undisciplined at times in the first half.

I agree 💯. Allen has nobody to throw to after Kincade and Palmer are out, so why not put Cook at wideout, which would create a mismatch? It's like Brady has his head up his keaster at times, the last few games for some reason.

I do agree that this team needs a severe kick in the ass player-wise. McD and this coaching staff drill into them every practice on what to do and what not to do, like contain their gap integrity, and they simply don't. Is it because they are so worried about other players doing their job, or just a lack of discipline? I do know that if this continues that McD will take control of the defense, and that should be all the change they need, as he has shown that he can still get it done. In the 2023 season, he called the defensive plays and still managed a top-10 defense despite all the injuries that season. The offense, however, perhaps does need a breath of fresh air with someone like Chris Olave. But that would cost an arm and both legs to obtain him. Joe Brady still screwed the pooch with his playcalling against many teams this year in his failure to utilize Jame Cook in the passing game. Brady didn't even have him see the field for most of the 4th quarter of that Falcons game. I'm not certain as to what to do about all the penalties. Perhaps make the said player who causes that penalty to wear a toilet seat around his neck for the week before the next game. That outta shame them.

What the Bills need is everyone to get healthy, and that includes the 6'2'' WR named Gabe Davis, who is on the practice squad. Then they need to utilize James Cook more than 53% of the offensive snaps. For the love of god, put him out wide for a mismatch on an LBer.

What sucks is that the Chiefs have two former NFL head coaches as their OC & DC, and the winningest NFL HC over the last five years. Not to mention a superstar at several positions on that team, including a generational talent at QB in Patrick Mahomes, a TE in Travis Kelce, and a DT in Chris Jones. This team has been the roadblock that has kept Buffalo from the Super Bowl for the last five seasons. If Buffalo were in the NFC, they probably would have met the Chiefs in the big dance. A few things to be optimistic about are that the Chiefs are currently 3-3 with losses to the Chargers, Eagles, and Jaguars. The Chiefs still need to play Buffalo at Buffalo, the Commanders, and Denver 2x, the Colts, Texans, and Chargers. So Buffalo still has a chance at that #1 seed. With all the injuries to the Buffalo Bills that two rookie CBs are both on IR, and so many others are injured...we could be the 1-5 Baltimore Ravens. Now there is a fan base with torches and pitchforks out ready to boot a SB-winning HC with a 2-time MVP at QB. That team has four #1 picks in their starting secondary, and yet they are fielding the very worst defense in the league. Just relax and take a two-week break.

FIRE

The NY Giants, in one of their Super Bowl years, went up to Seattle, and their QB was sacked 7x and intercepted 4x, and lost that game. Things looked pretty grim after that game, and yet they went on to win a Super Bowl.

Yes, Denver found a diamond in their OC in Mike Shanahan, and he hired Gary Kubiak for his OC. The Denver offense was #1 overall in 1997 because they found a stud RB in Terrell Davis, and they ran the ball a tad more than they threw it. Davis had 1750 yards rushing and another 287 yards receiving. Not to mention they also had Rod Smith and Shannon Sharpe, two 1000-yard receivers. Buffalo doesn't utilize James Cook enough in my view, as the kid was only on the field for 53% of the offensive snaps. Why not put him outside as a WR to get a mismatch with a LBer on him? While I like Joe Brady, he simply isn't good enough right now. OH, and BTW, this Buffalo offense is currently built very much like that Shanahan Denver offense .

I find this thread thoroughly amusing simply because Bills fans are ranting and not thinking. Like you said, who will be the interim head coach, Bobby Babich, NO! Joe Brady, the guy who keeps calling lame plays and couldn't figure out a way for his offense to score on a 2-2 team that was beaten by Carolina 30-0? That star QB that so many say this franchise is wasting went 15 of 26 for 180 yards, 2 TDs, 2 INTs, and was sacked 4 times. The ONLY NFL head coach that has a better win/loss record over the last five seasons is Andy Reid. THE ONLY ONE! So, who do you find to replace the man who changed the entire culture in Buffalo? Now, other NFL players actually want to come and play in Buffalo, and previously, they didn't unless you overpaid, and even then. This GM/HC drafted Josh Allen and found the right coaches to develop him. Beane moved up in the 2018 NFL draft to select Allen when six other teams passed on him. Cleveland passed twice! And they are still looking for their franchise QB. The NY Giants passed, the NY Jets passed, and how many QBs have those teams gone through trying to find a decent QB, much less a superstar like Allen? In 2023, this team was 6-6 and about to lose the division to Miami, which was 9-7 at that time. McD fired his OC in Ken Dorsey, and replaced him with Joe Brady. Meanwhile, Buffalo went on to beat Miami in their last regular season game and take the division...again! Some of you ranting for change don't realize that this owner found a diamond in McD/Beane after he replaced Rex Ryan and has had his team in the playoffs 7 of 8 seasons. Bills fans need to calm down.

4-2 with panic in the streets! The bleating has become almost biblical. Rex Ryan stated he wanted to build a "bully" in Buffalo... how did that work out? Buffalo went from 9-7 under Marrone with a top 5 defense under Schwartz. Ryan went 8-8 and then 7-9 while taking apart the best D line with the best pass rush in the league. Mario Wiliams went from 14.5 sacks to dropping into pass coverage or taking on blockers. Things usually get worse when the HC is fired. After 2024, seven NFL head coaches were fired, and how many are doing good at this time? Since 2000, the Raiders have made 15 NFL head coaching changes. How has that worked out? Cleveland-NY Jets-NY Giants, and so on. The sky is not falling, and when players can't contain their gaps or make tackles, blown assignments, and coverages, it falls on the players and the DC. If this stuff continues, look for McD to take over the playcalling and find a replacement for Babich. McD made the change at OC when he needed to make it. As for the offense, wasting Josh Allen? He went 15 of 26 for 180 yards, 2 TDs, 2 INTs. Both Dalton Kincade and Josh Palmer were injured for this game, and suddenly, Allen had nobody to throw to... As bad as everyone thought the Falcons were, they are the #1 team in the league in passing yards allowed. That defense is pretty darn good, and they had a bye week to get ready for Buffalo. My thoughts are just RELAX! It's a long season, and it's only 6 games in.
