It would seem that it is universally accepted that Mills and Ducasse suck at the game of football. McD's apparent failure to see this is leading me to slip in my hopeful belief in the process.
That would require someone to replace them...

It isn't a Taylor or Peterman thing it's a Mills thing. Don't let the two pictures fool you. Taylor was flattened in less than 2 seconds.
This doesn't look as fast as Bosa was in there. This seems like a cherry pick too. Mills I know is bad but he was especially bad on Sunday. When you can only stand up and block your guy 50% of the time for less than 2 seconds there is a huge problem

It's a puzzle. I can only guess, and my guess is that in practice going 1/2-3/4 speed, Ducasse (who has experience in Castillo's system I believe) gets his feet and his hands into the right place more than Groy and Miller do. So Ducasse is considered by Castillo to be "better" and he plays.
The problem is when you ratchet up to game speed, Ducasse just doesn't have the reactions. Mills, having watched that clip, is playing like a Bar baby.
When you have a scheme which the physically more talented linemen can't execute, maybe the problem is...the scheme.
I feel certain both QB and all our coaches would like to see a game with Glenn and Henderson, or possibly Glenn and Dawkins on the right. And yes we had people chipping and a back left in to block - you can see a chip in the first part of that clip next to Dawkins on the L. Didn't slow Bosa much.
This is what Taylor has faced all year, though, and somehow he has managed to limit his INTs.Taylor has faced bad line play but not that bad. Peterman didn't even fully drop back and at least twice he had not just a hand but Bosa's whole body on Peterman. I think the O line is regressing and needs to replace our O line coach.

Agreed but both Guards have taken a huge step back and Mills was serviceable last year now he is not good

Watching that literally makes me mad. Those two tackles were bad, get them out of there. I would love to see a game with Glenn and Henderson. I understand the options really aren't great with Glenn hurting and Henderson getting into game shape but anything is better than that. Leave a TE in to chip or something but it does show you exactly why 5 INTs are possible. Minus the first INT he literally had a DE in his face as soon as he dropped back. The reason he looked so good in practice is our OTs were going against are Defensive ends.

Let the rehabilitation of Rex Ryan's reputation begin. The standard wisdom: Rex took a Top 5 defense and single-handedly ruined it. McDermott came in and restored order.
A few of us liked to point out that it wasn't all on Rex. The defensive talent started to disappear. (Who's left from those Schwartz defenses we loved? Kyle and Preston Brown.)
And now: the worst defenses we've ever seen in Buffalo.
Discuss.
Loose discipline led to a lot of it

I think it is a must this year for off season. A guy higher to Beane and McDermott. No yes man. To keep these guys in check and get rid of coaches not doing there job.. Maybe the biggest need for off season. They report to him then to Pegula's. How I think should be after all of this.
What you guys think?
I think you have to let the GM build the team a little before you scrub the whole structure. If they truly are tearing this team down to the studs it will take time. I am not sure I agree with this philosophy but you at least got to see where it leads.

I was wrong about Peterman. dead wrong.
I'm not sure you develop that off of one half but it would be a first to start off like that and make something decent of yourself. I do know the arrow only ticks up at this point.
9 hours ago, Kirby Jackson said:Even though our coach won’t admit when he made a mistake I thought it would be fun to admit our mistakes. The point of this thread is to take one point that you were adamant about from the offseason or in season that you regret having. And now for the walk of atonement:
I thought that Frank Reich would be a terrible hire for HC. I thought that it would be a lazy, sentimental hiring for an unqualified candidate. He was maybe my least favorite candidate. He’s done a phenomenal job this year and looks to be high on team’s radar this offseason. In hindsight, he might have been the perfect guy!! I was completely wrong about it and sorry to you Frank Reich. I will not doubt any of the Super Bowl Bills.
In all actuality the lazy hire was McDermott because they had a plan with him and Beane and didn't deter

I think that the original plan with McDermott and Beane was to build for the future; not looking to just make the playoffs and lose in the 1st round, but to plan to make and do damage in the playoffs further down the road. The Bills quick start threw a monkey wrench into that plan and McDermott, being a new HC and not wanting to lose the veterans, started preaching winning both now and later. The last three games brought everything back to reality and back to the original long term vision, hence starting Peterman. Only giving him a few days to prepare for his 1st NFL start wasn't fair to Peterman, if he is seen as a quick fix. I think McDermott thought he would play much better and could afford to stick with him. Now he has to come out on one side or the other; either try to win now with Taylor, or plan for the future and go with a rookie QB. He's in a very tough spot now.
I think also not giving him a right side of the line wasn't very much fair either. I honestly think they were trying their best to win now which is why they resigned Taylor. No other reason to do that, they could have just started Yates till they threw Peterman in there.

You have to play the 1st rounder, see what you've got.
He didn't look that bad when he saw some time last year.
Define not that bad, not throwing 5 INTs?

It has been Taylor, but it doesn't help if the HC is in his ear about playing that way.
A few sentences later, Benoit suggested this has less to do with Taylor (and with what Taylor can or cannot do), than with McDermott: “McDermott is known to be almost obnoxious in stressing turnover prevention.” Taylor’s interception rate (1.1 percent) ranks third-best in the league, even now. His aggressiveness, measured by passes to targets within one yard or less of a defender, is 14.3 percent, which ranks third-lowest. He’s been doing exactly what the Bills want him to do.
I'm not sure who it might be but wish if Taylor was in there I would see running and slinging it around more. Can't imagine Peterman would be starting if Taylor is told not to make mistakes.

McD didn’t mean for one game ... he wants to see if Peterman can be better long-term ... it’s really a simple concept ... I don’t know why so many people are having such a hard time with it ...Everyone needs to realize that Taylor is gone after this season and playing him now does nothing for anyone.
If you ask ESPN it's because McDerm is racist, you know him and his African American QB coach.

Decent article from deadspin. Talks about McDermott being the one almost anal about playing safe, avoiding turnovers.
Not playing to taylors strength, Shady not running out of shotgun much this year compared to last.
That's not McDerm, that's Taylor. He has been like that every year he has been here.

Are you joking?
Are you saying QB wouldn't have made a difference in terms of us winning or losing yesterday?
Yeah, it's possible we lose yesterday, but I doubt it's the bloodbath it turned out to be. Peterman was THE reason we were down 30 points at halftime. That's what happens when you give the other team the ball and they turn those 5 turnovers into 24 points... coulda been 27 if the SD FG kicker doesn't miss a gimme.
But I mean, at least when Peterman didn't throw interceptions, he was getting 1st downs and not going 3 & out like Tayl... oh wait... yes he was
You might have missed the previous two weeks but that is exactly what happened for the past two weeks minus the turnovers

Two things, we have a Guard at LT and a WR coach teaching a rookie QB, what could go wrong?

Dareus is a beast out there for the Jags.
Announcers talking about how the Jags run defense went from one of the worst in the league to one of the best since acquiring him.
What a great move is was trading him!
I miss Dareus but let's not pretend he was playing against the second coming of Barry Sanders

You obviously missed them against the Giants. These are the two most sliding teams in the league..... other than the Browns

Not even close, bro............those 2 teams would never have a 3 game epic melt down like we just witnessed.
Chiefs just lost to the Giants, probably the worst team in the NFC, a team with no receivers and no defense. The Cowboys look as helpless as we did against the Saints. They all look bad right now, not sure if there is a way to measure suck but if you want to argue the Bills are much worse than them I disagree

It doesn't make sense. One guy shouldn't be the reason everyone forgot how to tackle.
Sad but true.
I'm guessing not gameplanning for Dareus has helped open other offenses.

They don't score 50 if Tyrod starts. There would be 5 fewer turnovers. It's not certain that we win but it's a much more competitive game. San Diego plays everyone close. We found a way to get blown out.
Well at this point we know he lost one fumble so it wouldn't necessarily be 5 fewer but turnovers have never been his problem, not taking chances and developing offensive rhythm have. Same result.... well maybe the Chargers score 40
-
I disagree only three teams do, that would be the Browns, Cowboys and the team we play next week the Chiefs.

Not numb because this is kind of what I expected from the start of the season…minus the blowouts to the Jets and Chargers. This is and always has been a rebuild. After the 5-2 start, too many people lost sight of the fact that we’re just not a very talented team and let their hopes get way too high.
I'm just happy we got some of the unexpected early wins that we did, it was fun. But at this point, I’d say we’d be lucky to win 2 more games the rest of the way. Under the circumstances, I’ll be OK with that as long as when the season is over, we don’t have any questions on the roster. I want to see almost everyone get some decent playing time so we know who is worth keeping for next year and who needs to go.
Call for certain coach’s heads all you want, changing them likely won’t make a difference. We don’t have the talent to run anyone’s system up to par. Changing coaches/systems every year will only set things back. System continuity is important.
Last year it helped the offense because someone knew it wasn't the right offense. If only Rex did it on defense he would have still had a job and maybe a playoff victory. I like the Peterman move because it showed he is trying to improve every part of the players. The same needs to be done with the coaches till they figure out this downward spiral. I might be wrong but putting the same players or coaches out there is insanity to expect different results.

Translation: At least Peterman lost the game with terrible plays.
Are these serious posts?
No at least he took chances while our defense was wearing down. Look he needed to be better but Tyrod does as well. I don't like seeing an offense that plays it safe all the time to the point of continually throwing away and handing the ball off.
