I think Allen is committed, but frustrated with the offense. He repeatedly said after the game "I ran what was called". That is the polite way of saying "Dorsey is a useless incompetent coach, don't blame me".

I understand some of your logic, but while every team has had a bad game, Buffalo has had a bad half season. My best hope is that Josh Allen plays like the elite QB that he is capable of being and somehow carries the team on his shoulders to 9 or 10 wins and get in the playoffs, then be hot at the right time. Right now I am not seeing it. There are too many holes and the coaches seem to have lost the players. I see 7 or 8 wins. If they can get by Denver and the Jets and get up to 7-4, maybe I'll feel a little hope again, but right now as it stands, no remaining game is a lock.

The entire defense minus Von Miller deserves credit. If you had told me that they were going to hold the Bengals to 24 yesterday morning, I would have assumed that it was a win. Nobody on the offense. I would have said Kincaid until the fumble.

The harsh reality is that Buffalo was one pass interference non call away from being 1-4 in what was supposed to be the easy part of the schedule. That is much more than a wake up call or slump. If you break down the remaining schedules you see this Tier 1 Buffalo might be the favorite-Broncos, Patriots. Even in those cases, Denver is playing better and New England already beat us Tier 2 Buffalo might beat them if they play well- Jets, Chargers Tier 3 Out of our League-Chiefs, Eagles, Cowboys, Dolphins Best case scenario to me is four more wins. Worst case is one more. The defense is depleted. The offense under Dorsey has been figured out by the rest of the league and the morale is shot. This is a drought era team with a good QB.

This once Juggernaut offense scores under 20 every week against bottom half defense over the past five weeks. We still have the same players. Dorsey is the problem.

Time to look up some options for day trips and weekend getaways in the southern tier for the next 8 weeks.

I would have rather seen Von comeback in week 12 full swing than 2week 6 as a sad shell of himself.

Defense has actually made an admirable effort. No excuse for the offense.

I agree. The opportunity is gone for this group, but Allen is still young enough to have another shot if we retool and take a year out for a mini rebuild.

This is not a playoff team. Period.

Surprisingly he has not been bad(for him). I was expecting him to be intolerable tonight.

By having the refs arbitrarily decide to call a phantom penalty three minutes after the last play.

That first half was a perfect snapshot of everything that is wrong with the Bills and the NFL this year.

If you are the Giants you have one forward pass and 2 interceptions in almost six quarters with DeVito. There is no reason to keep him in. Put in Matt Barkley, Run a wildcat, anything has to be better than this.

So far I have learned this week that a defense can get a roughing the passer for a routine sack (commanders/patriots game), but an offense can regularly get a away with an illegal wedge block where an entire offense line is off-sides because the play has a cutesy nickname. Welcome to NFL 2023.

Roughing the passer for a sack? Not even a commanders fan and I'm pissed. Not even the talking heads could come up with a valid excuse for that

"That is no foul for holding" Translation. Ref had that holding call ready to go in case Miami did make a completion.

Refs aren't going to let Miami back in this game.

I really can't make myself cheer for either team. Who would I rather have win? Maybe the Dolphins, only because we already beat them and a Chiefs loss would be nice in the event that Buffalo gets it together enough to battle for the #1 overall seed.

There goes McDermott and Beane's favorite time passing game of "who would you rather have active at CB than Kaiir Elam?" McDermott: Let's play "who would you rather have active at CB than Kaiir Elam" I'll start, Cam Lewis Beane: Nice one, AJ Klein McDermott: Good, my turn, Poona Ford Beane: Lol, my turn Jason Elam McDermott: Hilarious! My turn Josh Norman Beane: Okay thats a little far fetched. You're not serious about that are you?.......are you...

I was surprised too, you don't get benched on an under .500 lower tier big five football team for a QB who was essentially a running back with an arm at the time and miraculously become an NFL qb two years later.

Ouch at Devito's numbers. You would figure that any NFL QB could at least get a couple of screens or check downs for positive yards if they play in a half, but maybe not.

There would be no way to make football economically sustainable in some of these states. For example in Wyoming, you have a state with less people that Erie, or Monroe county spread out over an area nearly twice the size of the state of New York, there is no way that they fill a stadium of 60,000-80,000 every week. Expansion to 50 teams would water down the competition level to a point where there would be a level if difference between the top and bottom tier of QB, Oline, and defense where any given sunday is no longer possible. The only way that this is feasible is having 32 NFL teams with one Farm team in an NFL Europe type spring league. 64 Teams could cover the 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico, A few cities in Mexico and the Canadian Provinces. With one farm team for each NFL team Example Seahawks-Washington Seahawks Farm Team Idaho Saints Louisiana Saints farm team- MIssissippi Edit from later in the day-Look at how Devito played on the Giants today and imagine that on a few teams each weeks. That is what you would get with 50 teams.

Football is less fun Roger Goodell ruined the game I'll rake leaves instead

I'll likely run Red Zone in the background while I work on other things today. As far as watching a full game, between the announcers, the commercials, 10-20 injuries per game and the refs dictating the pace and sometimes the score of the game, it is very hard for me to do so if it is a non-Bills game. If you watch a full game now, you are likely to see the Verizon annoying guy interrupting a birthday party commercial more times that you will see an exciting play that isn't called back. I liked the NFL much better than the "Roger Goodell's football themed sports entertainment show sponsored by Draftkings" that we have this season.
