LABILLBACKER

.....we just never pull the trigger...it probably wouldn't have mattered anyway with how awful our OL is at run blocking.

Yeah because we play so well in bad weather.....

Just give them a Happy meal. They're playing like a bunch of children.

The only Barkley he's missing is Saquon. Fix this terrible OL. Find a real RB and stop expecting Josh to play hero ball all day. Stop being stubborn Dabs and tweek your damn scheme.

I'm done with McKenzie. He had fumbling issues before he was promoted to FT returner. Get Stevenson in there and see what he can do?

If this team had balls they wouldn't be soft.

Yay.....6-5

Yup....the answer is as simple as this ^...It wouldn't surprise me if McD goes shopping for a different OC. One that values a strong OL and some semblance of a run attack.

More penalties against the visiting team...how does that help us? It doesn't matter anyway. All these crews are garbage and simply doing what the NFL tells them to do. Any discipline on Correntte? Of course not. We're not getting any ref love the rest of this season.

This is the winning answer.

All excellent points Thurman. I have no clue why Daryl has regressed. But at least he's decent at RG. We should be somewhat grateful for landing Brown considering he's the only good olineman that came out of our draft. Cole's days might be numbered but hopefully he heals enough to bounce back. We are now experiencing exactly what the Chiefs dealt with 6 weeks ago. Opponents have the exact recipe to drastically slow down 17. Without better run blocking everything shuts down. And losing Star +Tremaine up the middle must have lit up Taylor's eyes. Severe adjustments will have to be made. Stop being soft and start punching people in the mouth.

His schtick is old but it is funny listening to 2 grown men shouting over each other saying absolutely nothing. You're right, this simply comes down to physicality, determination and trench talent. All of which we have very little of right now. The Jags game sums up this season. It will get fixed but not till next year. And don't be shocked if Daboll is gone.

Something is going to come to a head. I was very skeptical Daboll would be snatched up last year as a HC. And sure enough no one wanted him. I'm not asking McD to turn the Bills into some run first offense. But without an effective and efficient run game, Josh doesn't stand a chance. I would welcome a closed door discussion between Daboll and McD.

We need something. Someone on this team to step up as a leader? Someone to get in someone's face. Maybe we can rent Brady & Belichick for a week. I honestly can't think of 1 player on this team that fits that description?

Evans hamstring.....too bad

Its funny how just a month ago half this board wanted Josh to throw on every down. Without a good run game Josh will continue to struggle as the NFL has figured us out. There's no cavalry of new olineman to swoop in and save the day. Spencer will help but its only a temporary bandaid. We will only go as far as the OL allows us. Besiides Daboll is not a "run strong" OC. Looks like we're not going very far.

I don't think Sean has a clue how to evaluate offensive talent. That's up to Beane, Daboll and the scouts. His team may have wasted a couple of 3rd round RB picks but because they're 3rd rounders, they'll get more time to prove themselves. Kinda like Ford?

I'd go 50-50 Breida/Motor. Keep Breida outside the D gap. You cannot ignore his speed and he has contributed these last 2 games. I've never been a Singletary fan but you can't ignore that 5.0 ypc. That currently ranks 6th in the NFL among RB's with 75 or more carries. Moss can wait for an occasional goal line or injury depth. The zone blocking concepts must change. Daboll can no longer rely on passing 80% of the time. Go more man blocking. Brown and Feliciano returning will help some.

These coaches refuse to punish players for terrible play or penalties. Instead of giving Bates a chance just keep schlepping Ford or Boettger out there. As soon as McKelvttrick fumbles after tripping over himself, I pull him. But no, just trott him back out there. Changes have to come....discipline has to begin....no more Instagram practices.

There's so many factors going into this Bills slump. Daboll just hasn't been the same since losing his grandparents. Losing key players to C19 doesn't help. Reading too much of your "hype" news clippings factors in. And our 3 new young DE's are still learning. The OL doesn't have the skillset to make our 3 mediocre RB's any better. And since the Steelers loss, teams have the blueprint. It will be a very telling story as to how these last 7 games play out?

You can't run it back if you've never won a SB. Has McDermott every yelled at a player in his life? He show's little personality on the sidelines. Hell, I'll even take a Belichick "head set toss or phone throw" at this point. This team is incredibly soft and unfortunately I think alot of that reflects on Sean.

This is true. I think both the coaches and players need a reset. I guess I wish McD was more like Belichick. He would never allow various nonsense at practice. He'd probably give you serious stink eye if you chose not to get vaccinated. He doesn't tolerate penalties ever. Do your job, be prepared for every opponent or you're gone. These guys heads got too big. #1 D...#1 Offense....SB Favorites...MVP QB....on and on. This entire organization needs a reset and reevaluation of what's expected of them.

This is so obvious it blows me away why Daboll won't just do it. If Singletary is so damn amazing with his 5.0 ypc then increase his damn snaps? Use Breida more on outside runs and passing downs. Sit Moss until someone gets hurt. This team spends way too much time concentrating on rotations and less time on just playing your better players more. This isn't little league where everyone gets 1 at bat.

Nope. Run the ball and stop the run requires players we currently don't have on the roster.

There were many including myself who wanted us to trade up a little to get Taylor. But in hindsight we still had a OL with zero run blocking talent. Fix the OL first then worry about what RB is available.
