Another draw play. How can you run a draw on very third down ?

I can recall plenty of Achilles injuries on grass. I thought it was knee injuries that were more common on turf but not sure.

Agree. I recall TEN doing this last year vs KC. Just would not allow a pass.

No way the Giants win this game: draw plays on 3rd down every time. At some point the Hets will go on fourth down and cash in

Still, why attack the perimeter? You’re just not outrunning that D to the sidelines. They’ve done better going elsewhere.

They don’t. The Pats don’t have a good offense either.

Just not going to get yards vs Jets on the edges. They’re too fast. Every third and long is a draw play. Not sure what Daboll is thinking here.

No, it’s been quiet. I don’t believe there’s been anything official on him having any kind of knee injury. That’s probably a good sign. McD didn’t close the door on a return for him or Jones this season.

I wouldn’t say he’s a better HC than McDermott. Still, I’d prefer him as the Bills OC to Dorsey. Also I’d question whether he would make that same call with Josh Allen as his QB.

Just way too early to tell. Of course, KC will get every call necessary to make their path the easiest.

Always skeptical whenever I see a KC offensive player on the injury report. They always look fine on the field . Anyway, I understand this is an illness , but Schefter said he’s expected to play. Must not be that big a deal, just technically has to be listed. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if it affects the game negatively for KC.

A technicality though. He’s expected to play

Somehow ? I don’t think it’s likely that the Bills will acquire any significant defensive additions at this point in the season. The best they can do is get Jones and / or Milano back later in the year, while also continuing to ramp up Miller for the late season stretch. Besides, their best chance at success is with the Offense.

Yes, depending on the teams . There are a few where I wouldn’t bother , but there’s usually a decent matchup.

Usually the case, but just reading the text portion ( I haven’t watched the clip) I’d have to say I don’t disagree here. It makes so much sense, it doesn’t actually seem like a Nick Wright statement!

He looked better than last week , at least to my eye. I still think he’s 3-4 weeks away from contributing at a high level. Should be a factor by the post -Thanksgiving stretch run.

Yes, the last punt with under a minute to play was fine.

The offense was good, not great. They left a good 10-14 points on the field. This game should have been a blowout by the middle of the third.

McD / Dorsey started out with the right idea : more Josh Allen. Trouble is when the offense stalled a few times in the second half , he just couldn’t help himself and his conservative nature . They punted and it worked out, but the opportunity arose again to go for it on 4th and 2. The Analytics would probably say to go for it , get another score and effectively end the game. Again - you have Josh Allen! Get the 2 yards. Now, I understand his shoulder was sore but he was back in the game and doing fine. Instead he put it in the hands of his wounded defense to close it out. Not surprisingly, they were back on D with the game in the balance for a third consecutive week. They turned a B+ / A game into a C-. This one shouldn’t have been that close , and was almost another mind boggling debacle in the end.

Oh Lord ..

R-E-L-A-X !

Why not ? You pay attention to the league, not just the Bills. More than one team can have issues.

You mean that YOU will lose all faith in McDermott. He’s not losing any faith , just saying. It happens . Some guys just never really get it. Some need a different system , change of scenery etc. Lots of talented players have turned out to be busts over the years. It’s not an uncommon story by any stretch. Time to move on: the guy doesn’t look good when he’s called upon to play.

Agree. It seems a change in offensive philosophy is required. McD needs to do some high level coaching here on defense to scheme over the issues caused by injury. The offense needs to do what Allen does best. Score points quickly and often. The defense will be better suited to playing with a lead in its current form.

They’ve done this for years now. Not a big deal and certainly not the source of their problems right now. You’ve only got two choices and they prefer one over the other.
