  1. it's all on the coaches in my view
  2. I'd switch to the Titans- Steelers game if I could. I don't feel like getting upset.
  3. Don't bother running the ball...just keep throwing...just keep throwing
  4. Josh Allen 3 rushes for 38 yards a 12.7 YPC avg
  5. We don't need no steenking running game...apparently
  6. Empty backfield The Bills have a play caller who refuses to use the run game and puts it all on the QB
  7. C'mon Daboll, run the damn ball!
  8. Yep. Before that 3rd and 20 I was about to post that the Jets seem to be determined to shoot themselves in the foot.
  9. Gettin rolled by an 0-6 team and yea, its all Josh Allen's fault
  10. 3rd and 20...and the make it.
  11. Welp, the Bills can't seem to stop the Jets offense... gonna be a long day
  12. I thought it was embarrassing to see the Bills get run over by the 4-1 Chiefs...now the 0-6 Jets are doing it.
  13. Now, now the Bills had a run play, Allen for 7 yards. Good to see the Bills OC fix the run game...
  14. Nice to see Beasley getting the ball before the second half
  15. No, the defense needs the help more!
  16. What gets me is how so many Bills fans put Josh Allen under the microscope and say he is the reason the Bills lost that game... I can't recall many QBs that can carry the entire team with a defense that played that poorly and literally no run game. Perhaps John Elway in his early days and even then they had Karl Mecklenburg, Dennis Smith, Rulon Jones, Tom Jackson on defense. That defense that played against the Titans, Chiefs reminded me so much of Dick Jauron's defenses running that awful Tampa 2. Now the entire NFL world watched what the Titans, Chiefs did to win against Buffalo and the Bills will see that again and again all season. Someone called for Lesie Frazier to be fired and now I'm thinking that might have been the right thing to do. That extension the Bills gave McD also reminds me of Jauron getting that extension and the team went flat. After watching games like these last two make me rethink the Bills might be a Skeletor 7-9 team with 10 games left. Jets, Pats, Seattle, Arizona, BYE, Chargers, 49ers, Steelers, Denver, Pats, Dolphins. Gotta get that Buffalo run game working and the defense back to respectability. Fire Frazier if that's what it's gonna take.
  17. I think he failed because of his GM Tom Donahoe. Ole Tom lost a power struggle in Pittsburgh with Bill Cowher and he replaced John Butler in Buffalo as GM in 1991. It all starts at the top in my view. Trading for Drew Beldsoe wasn't a bad move but he didn't following it up with getting him the protection that he needed to succeed. If Bledsoe had time in the pocket he would tear teams a new one with Eric Moulds, Josh Reed. They even had Kevin Gilbride as OC. The problem was that once you hit Bledsoe a few times in a game it would take him out of his game and he couldn't usually get into a rhythm as he would see, hear phantom sackers. It's why Belicheat traded him to a divisional rival. Bledsoe needed a top O line to defend him. It not like Donahoe didn't try to upgrade the O line by drafting tackle Mike Williams, it's just that his talent evaluation on tackles stunk as he missed on T Bryant McKinnie. He also drafted JP Losman... Donahoe did draft some really good players in his time in Buffalo like Lee Evans, Eric Moulds, Willis McGahee, Travis Kelsay, Nate Clements, Aaron Schobel, Travis Henry. Williams finished his second season in Buffalo at 8-8 when 9-7 took the division by the Jets, the Patriots and Dolphins were both 9-7 too.
  18. Interesting stuff, thanks for posting! As for Allen, its not unusual to see a QB have some overthrow issues early in a big game like that. Lots of QB's have that issue at times and he did get better as the game went on. I still feel there was just far, far to much responsibility of winning the game on his shoulders with very little from the Bills run game a horrid showing from the Buffalo defense. That one play where Allen read the defense and made a call to change the play to find Diggs in man on the outside drew a PI penalty, rightfully so. Then, the most beautiful TD pass and catch by Diggs that was just amazing. The game could have been won with 6 min left "IF" the Bills defense could have made a freaking stop. JMO
  19. What the last two games against the Titans, Chiefs showed that Buffalo isn't on the same level as those two. Now that the Titans found a decent QB, played zone defense and got a lot of pressure on Josh Allen it was like watching a low level college team play a professional team. Both sides of the Bills lines were pushed all over the field on both offense and defense. For me, It was embarrassing to be a Bills fan watching both sides of the lines pushed around like that. Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire had more than a 10+ yard per carry before the first half of that game and that did change to 6.2 YPC at the end. Still, you would think that the Bills defensive coaches would have made changes to stop that Chiefs run game... 46 rushes for 245 yards. I think that Frazier/McD were so afraid of Mahomes throwing deep to Tyreek Hill that they didn't see that the weather conditions weren't conducive to passing. Shameful stuff, to see the Bills look so dreadful in two prime time games with the entire NFL world watching.
  20. I agree. The first four games Jets, Dolphins, Rams, Raiders. It looked like Josh had a lot of time in the pocket to pick his targets and the Buffalo passing game carried the team to wins. Allen even needed to make comebacks due to the bad defense. Not only is the defense bad, but so is the run game. #25th in rush attempts, #27th in rush yards, #20th in TDs, #21st in YPC avg. The Titans and Chiefs brought a lot of heat on Allen and hit him hard after almost every pass play. With virtually no run game to help the offense and with Allen under pressure the offense couldn't get on track. If Allen is hurt you would think that the Bills OC would do something to help him out, like run the ball more. Fix the run game, fix the pass blocking!...and fix the defense! The Bills might get the next win over the 0-6 NY Jets to go 5-1. Then they face NE, Seattle, Arizona and could end up 5-4.
  21. Oliver has 7 QB pressures. Besides, Its my take that the Bills brain trust were far more worried about getting beaten deep by Mahomes to Hill so they dropped deep to defend the pass more...and got eaten by the run because of that scheme. and the inactive players. Where is Pat Williams when ya need him?
