OMG a hold. GREATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Man not a great start to the quarter

Jags performance is indicative of Marrone's inability to mentally and emotionally prepare his team week to week. They are doing Jekyll and Hyde show each week and that's all on Marrone.

First half offense seems more locked on into the game mentally than the D. I would have expected more QB pressure on Dalton but this weak Bengals line is handling our D line. And our D line was supposed to be our strength coming into this game with all the injuries on secondary.

Who? Obviously a HOF wideout?

Yeah I'm kinda glad and sad. We got depth issues at WR and RB. fingers crossed. This is on Beane.

Tate > Zay

We got 10 now.

Zay needs to step up in this game.

WEll at least they tried a pass on that 1st down

Are you guys deflated with this effort thus far?

there are good streams. look for them online.

I said this game is going to be an indicator of McDermott's ability to prepare the mental aspect of the game. The tactical preparation he's already shown he's a good coach. Missed tackles. lack of pressure against a bad offensive line, so far are indications of a team that's not sufficiently focused and prepared for the game. He has 3 quarters to fix this. Let's see how he makes the adjustments in game.

This is a bad offensive line. Again, this indicates a lack of mental preparation.

Why are we playing more man cover when we got so many injuries in secondary????

Missed tackles are an indication of lack of focus.

OMG we finally get pressure on Dalton. geez. about time!

Man backup corner on AJ green single coverage. GREAT.

lol come on TT

oh god just looked. stats says Dalton looks like HOF so far.

I just got back. so it was a bomb to AJ Green? that was my concern in this game. Have we been able to pressure Dalton behind that supposedly bad offensive line?

I'll say it again!

He's the same guy who said Bills are one of the worst teams. He's not backing off, and covering up for his lack of judgement by saying "oh this coach's winning with a college roster". Stupid ass if you ask me. Yes we no longer have Sammy, Woods and the corners are gone. WR was weak going in. But to throw the rest of the roster into the dumpster heap, was totally wrong. He knows JACK. And Jack is A PATRIOT.

Yeah there are two schools of thought on this game, and neither is wrong. It IS natural for a team to have a let down after emotional wins. It isn't just Bills. Most teams do this. And that's where REALLY GOOD coaching comes in. This is the MENTAL & EMOTIONAL aspect of a team's preparation. Does McDermott have the ability to keep a team on an even keel after wins or losses. Does he motivate well. So this isn't even about win or loss. This is a test of McDermott's ability as a coach on the mental and emotional preparation of a team. In my opinion, that's what every championship winning coaches possess - that ability to prepare them emotionally and mentally. This is WHY BILLS LOST THE LAST 3 SUPERBOWLS they were in. Mental and emotional preparation was crap. Right now, the entire team has bought into him as a coach. He's the undisputed conductor in every Bills' mind. Let's see how he wields that wand. It ISN'T the result that matters in this game. It is the consistency of EFFORT in every phase of the game that matters. I want to see both players and coaches show up for this game. If they lost despite a good effort, and good game planning, it's a win IMO. That's the quality of a coach that can bring a championship. If they lost because players were lethargic or play calling / game planning was predictable or lousy, then that's a tell on McDermott as a coach - he didn't prepare them mentally and emotionally despite having their full attention. This game is more about McDermott than anything else.
