It’s no surprise .. the entire game has been poor defense

As others have pointed out Eagles had a ridiculously easy schedule last year. Never totally sold on them.

I see a 38-34 Miami win coming…. Chargers find ways to lose this kind of game

Not shooting the messenger here, my response is to the content only. Didn’t Bernard play a scant amount at best in preseason? So much for the “competition “at MLB … Kirksey , how soon can you learn this defense ?

They’re tired of Buffalo after discussing them at length for several years. They also need clicks. May as well throw a few bones to hungry Jets and Dolphins fans who haven’t had a ton to cheer about in the last decade or so. To many the Bills are old hat. Nothing to see here.

Once great show is now a joke and a mere shell of its former self. Time to retire this franchise.

Prefer blue over white but we will see

Dorsey’s offense was effective , but he struggled late and his red zone offense was largely “ let Josh run around and make a Superman play”. He’s clearly not in Reid’s league, at least not yet but who is ? Reid’s designs are so effective that his QB is just throwing to wide open players most of the time. The Bills need better from Dorsey to match wits with the best.

Then other teams’ fans would be pleased. No one gives any sympathy when our guys miss games , nor should they.

Nah, a win in week one would mean less than the wins in October have. There’s too much season remaining to hold onto a tiebreaker. A win in December has a much better chance of being relevant come week 18.

Yeah, this shows the greatness of Reid as OC. Mahomes always has wide open guys to throw to. The play design is second to none. Would sure be great to have someone of Reid’s caliber in Buffalo.

I’m skeptical on this one. Think of Tre White one year after an ACL. Did he appear ready ? Hall is younger , but he’s also an RB. I expect we’ll see a lot more of Cook than Hall.

Prorated charges for each missing channel as a portion of your total lineup. Never amounts to all that much, and certainly not for value as no one watches all of their channels equally.

Josh rolls right, hits Diggs for 14.

Yet amazingly , Josh Allen hasn’t been the reason the Bills have yet to reach a Super Bowl in the McDermott era. Even more a testament to his ability.

Ehhh, no. Movin’ on ..

I’d say no resolution until week 3 or 4. Just a guess, of course.

Timing and circumstance, combined with one colossal blunder. It’s really that simple. Pat Mahomes is in the AFC ( in no small part thanks to McDermott). That’s not all though. Andy Reid coaches Mahomes’ team and is the best play designer/OC in football, bar none. They have an uncoverable TE to boot. The Bills had a very injured team by last seasons end. They had a huge coaching blunder in the waning moments of a playoff game vs KC that they had in the bag. These things have conspired to keep the Bills out of the big game, where I think they would have beaten two of the last 3 NFC representatives.

Okay

I’d guess someone goes to IR. Maybe out of actual necessity if someone is lost in week 1 or two for awhile. If everyone’s relatively healthy then maybe someone they think they can sneak onto PS is released.

It’s a combination of things, topped off with the classic anti Bills bias in the media. They’re tired of it and want to move on to newer stories. There are some causes for concern amongst fans though. A few in random order : Cincinnati playoff game 13 seconds No legit WR2 in free agency/ trade Offensive line issues Defensive failures in playoffs difficult schedule tough competition in AFC/ AFCE Chiefs Bengals Aaron Rodgers

I have to agree here. The Bills exit from the playoffs last year was a lifeless thud- in a year that started with huge expectations. An AFC Championship game loss would have stung, but would have to be considered contending for a Super Bowl. Even a divisional loss to CIN could be considered acceptable if it was a closely contested game with a dramatic finish. Context matters here, and the Bills entire organization simply didn’t compete in a home playoff game. It can only be considered an embarrassment.

This should surprise no one and was always the realistic scenario to anyone paying attention. A lot of whining on the board lately.

Nope. Players don’t play for the length of time it would take ( except QBs as they are protected ) to come close while also maintaining top performance. Financially they don’t need to at todays NFL salaries. Players have a lot more self preservation in mind and get out early to limit physical issues down the road. Anything is possible, but I don’t think it will happen for these reasons and probably some others that have been mentioned as well.

Dorsey has a lot to prove, no doubt. He tailed off after a fairly hot start to last season. I’m not going to try to draw too many conclusions from a preseason game , though. We’ll see if he’s up to the task.
