Maybe, just maybe it's the mediocre, and by many fans, overrated players on the team that are the biggest issue. Not defending the coaching here but injuries aside this team is not that good. Certainly not a Super Bowl contender. Point fingers at our GM for this cap strapped ill constructed squad then maybe coaching. I'm not saying our coaching is great but they have to work with a team that has three elite players (one out for the season), a handful of good players and a boatload of JAGS.

No Beane deserves the boot every bit as much as our head coach. Probably more.

Been saying his for past seasons ax well. Always rebuked by stats guru's. When it really counts they fold. Smoking mirrors defense.

Probably. Never been big fan of either but in all fairness the coaches aren't turning the ball over four times. I'm not against coaching change at all just don't know who you'd replace them with. Beane has not built this team well and we're tight on the cap. Frankly even healthy we're not a Super Bowl team.

This thread I hope isn't the forerunner of this board being declared incompetent to stand trial.

McDermott/Beane ? Not in a position to say if Beane is answering to the coach or vice versa. Really in my mind when I look at our roster and then our cap issues I'm inclined to look at the GM.

Ok. But have we really looked close enough at our roster? Bulletin! They're not that great. Three elite players? One out for the season. A defense that too often folds at critical times. An offense that begins and ends with Allen to Diggs. Even I could draw up a defensive game plan against that. I've never really thought our GM was great more slightly above average. Same with our HC. Our cap issues seem to say money not well spent.

All these tasty dishes sound great but been down with Covid . No appetite, very little sleep. I'll be lucky to watch a quarter. Bah, humbug.

Well obviously I hope you're right. I'm not trying to be negative just don't see us matching up with them. Their defense isn't great but guess what? Ours looks as bad. Their offense right now is probably better or at least more consistent. People here aren't just being negative for the most part. Objective and negative are different things. I've ,I think,objectively thought our defense wasn't as great as many think. I've thought that before injuries and frankly for more than this season. Fan since inception but just saying this is how I view it.

Wish we were playing the Cincinnati of early season. Unfortunately don't feel good about this game. Think their offense is licking their chops against our D.

So true but if they don't listen and discuss then that isn't debate to begin with it's an exchange of statements.

We overrate our defense when healthy but, yes injuries hurt. No, we wouldn't be 6-1 if healthy.

This tendency was there before these injuries though.

Biggest surprise for Bills fans is our defense isn't good. And hasn't been good for awhile. Twenty nine points against a terrible offense? Once again team goes through us like a hot knife through butter when games in balance. See this too many times. Dorsey didn't lose this our Defense lost this.

Yeah, and I got criticized for questioning Beane as a GM. I've said before he's not good managing the cap at all. Finally it's coming home to roost. This is not a quick off season fix. Several holes to fill.

Average team is probably accurate. Without injuries maybe a good team.

I've been saying for years in spite of stats this defense is not all that great particularly in critical situations like must stops to protect a lead. Maybe one of the worst secondaries in the league. Our offense is Diggs and Allen for the.most part and a coordinator unable to make the most of what talent he has. We just managed to lose to a very bad team. One good game this whole season so far.

News flash...!! Quit always blaming coaching. It's players! Injuries aside only a super fandom wouldn't see the weaknesses in this team. Look at Beane first.

I think the problem goes deeper than Dorsey. That's not an endorsement of Dorsey.

If we don't make this a win I'm thinking going forward we're in real trouble. Like playoffs looking not so real as they did beginning the season. My worry is we've not looked that good to this point and now we add in the injuries and this makes me quite worried going forward.

Thought before season started it would be close in our division. I am thinking unless Miami craps the bed or unforseen injuries hit namely at quarterback they win the division. But as they say anything can happen. I do like our defense better and credit McDermott for that. Was never high on our secondary and even less so now with injuries. Milano would be huge loss. Jets loss and Jacksonville loss certainly doesn't help.

Agree but I fear if given any time at all Tua will eat up our secondary.

Actually I fear our defense not holding a lead even more than our offense not putting games away.

Not sure the Dolphins will win. Quite concerned they might. I don't think others under rate us anymore than many of us under rate the Dolphins. This could be a real shootout.
