Miller should retire. He is a shell of his former self.

It is not a binary question. Brady gets his audition for OC now. We see how that goes. If we finish with 0-2 more wins then probably time to start new. If we get going then no.

I texted my daughters last night that I’m not even mad. It’s been clear for a while this team just doesn’t have it this year.

This team simply does not have it this year. Injuries on defense are a legitimate excuse. But here are the non-legitimate ones: 1. Coaching: Dorsey does not grasp the simple concept that you go with what works until the other guy proves he can stop it. Last night should have been all about running the ball. But he dicked around instead. Special teams coach should have made sure to kick it away from Mims, and the 12 men on the field is obvious. But as HC McD is responsible for it all, and he along with many on his staff are failing at their jobs this season. 2. Josh: Sorry but as much as his completion percentage was high and such going into the game, he is not playing well this year. Blame it on coaching, a supposed pregnant waitress, doing commercials, whatever, but he has frankly sucked in several games this year including last night. You cannot be successful with a QB that turns the ball over so much. 3. Stupidity: The 12 men on the field is emblematic of an issue the team has had all year. The stupid penalties, stupid clock management, stupid play calling, you name it. Dumb teams do not win, and this team is dumb. sometimes you have to take a step back to take two steps forward. This season is a huge step back.

I’m not even sad. We just don’t have it this year. Even if they score and pull out the win it doesn’t really matter much.

Should have been another pick. And now the special teams suck.

If I’m McD I walk over to Josh and scream at him to get his head in the game.

Josh stinks tonight. Let’s call it what it is.

Third time he’s been suckered into that interception this year. He has to be smarter.

This is just sad.

Miller is just running right into the tackle. No moves, nothing.

Just don’t have it this year

Correct. Just be prepared that odds are it won’t work.

If for some reason we let McD go them he might be attracted to come work with Josh. But I don't think McD is going anywhere. Dorsey maybe, but not McD.

There is no way of knowing whether successful NFL coordinators can be successful HCs. More times than not they aren't.

Doesn't matter. What does matter is that someone like Brady be in Josh's ear the entire game encouraging him, but also not afraid to get in his face and challenge him if he is not taking easy throws and such.

I have regretfully indicated I don't think we win another game this year due to the ineffectiveness of the offense and defensive injuries. If we win I will be delighted to be wrong, and if we win convincingly then I would say it bodes well for us to make the playoffs.

OK boys, let's matriculate the ball down the field!

I will always hold the AFL championships in esteem.

My heartfelt thanks to all the veterans in the Bills mafia

When WRs don’t get separation or drop passes, they are criticized and rightfully so. When Dorsey calls odd plays like handing off from the shotgun, or slows things down when the fast paced offense is working, he gets criticized. And rightfully so. When lineman miss blocks, or miss handing things off to the right guy during a blitz, they get criticized. And rightfully so. When RBs don’t see a hole or make the wrong cut or miss a block, they get criticized. And rightfully so. Now here’s the big question for some of you: When Josh makes the wrong read and doesn’t take the easy completion, or when he gets suckered into throwing a pick on the same pattern he’s thrown one before, should he get criticized? And rightfully so? Or is Josh immune from criticism and as such is the only player on the team and likely the league that enjoys that status?

Daboll as HC? Is anyone watching the NFL this year?

Well, let’s go position by position: Jones: tearing a muscle, not really a conditioning thing although maybe a bit more stretching? Milano: someone falling on his leg and breaking it. Not a conditioning thing White: ruptured Achilles, can happen to anyone anytime and not a conditioning thing Bernard: concussion, not a conditioning thing Hyde: Stinger, not a conditioning thing I think the answer you’re looking for about elite conditioning is no

People honestly need to read. They compared Daboll’s LAST 25 games to Dorsey’s FIRST 25 games. Tom Brady said he wanted to be coached hard. Allen doesn’t get an exemption card from being coached. And you can certainly point out to him easier throws he can take without forcing him to be something he’s not.
