We’ll win out!! Our boyz are having fun again. The leash is taken off JA17 to run again. They should be in 4 downs mentality once across the 50. How can any of these 5 teams stop Allen, Diggs, Cook, Kincaid, Davis, Shakir, Murray, and maybe Knox. Think about it. It’s gonna be fun!!

It’s going to be awkward for him to return to the locker room. Another distraction. I would guess that the level of respect he held has eroded. Best that he stays away the rest of the year.

I keep hoping he would be like Shady. Hasn’t happened yet. Haven’t given up hope.

Played golf today with a guy with no emotional attachment to the Bills. He asked me how a team so talented be in this position. It occurred to me that millions of others are scratching their heads like we are. He agreed that if the Bills make the playoffs, they would be tough to beat. Really hope we get to see that.

Players must make plays. Did Andre, Eric and Thurmond run as many wrong routes and drop as many balls?? Didn’t think so 🤔

Bills 32 and Philly 27. Diggs, Kincade and Cook put on a clinic.

Glide as I call him, has been great this year. It's why I'm pissed he hasn't been utilized more by Dorsey.
The kid is sneaky good. Doesn't look like he's moving but he continues to pick up chunk yards.
Agree. He doesn’t seem to move the pile, but somehow gets extra yards after initial contact.

Last year it quickly became conventional wisdom by many in the media, locally and nationally, that the Bills were simply emotionally and physically spent, and that is why they were dominated by the Bengals in Buffalo, at High Mark Stadium. The story went something like this: the tragedy in Buffalo, the loss of Knox’s brother, the snow storms, and the Hamlin incident all were too much for the Bills, and that is why the Bengals handled them so easily, the reason the Bills were not even in the game. ‘They look exhausted’, we heard during and after the game. That take became the CW across the country, although I don’t think the Bills thought that was the reason.
But I and others didn’t think that was the reason in any way for the Bills performance. That is not because of a lack of empathy, but I thought this was a tough, resilient team, Buffalo Strong, and that if anything, the surprisingly quick recovery of Hamlin was like the weight of the world being lifted off the team’s, and Buffalo’s, shoulders.
The problem was that they had an incompetent offensive coordinator, who the league was slowly coming to terms with as the season progressed. We saw with our own eyes, if we were paying attention, that he was extremely poor at even the most fundamental of OC duties:
o Did not seem to have game plan specific plans prepared for the game that would help to facilitate things against defenses….
o He did know how to make in game changes to overcome what the defense was doing, seemed to have no plan for those things…
o Did not utilize the running game well, using it arbitrarily, with almost no connection to the passing game. As Gregg Cosell said several times last year: “There is no synchronicity between the Bills' running and passing game”. This in itself, to me, was a reason Dorsey could not be permitted to return for this season...
o Did not call plays that made sense, repeatedly, and often was clueless as to what a good rhythm in play calling meant
o He did not use his personnel effectively, not getting the most out of the players on the offense.
o And awful use of formations to facilitate things for the offense, with so little use of Allen under center and play action, despite the fact that the Bills excelled in those…
Etcetera--but those are only some of the big, obvious things. Imagine how Dorsey dealt with the equally important smaller details that make an offense work. I cannot imagine how bad those details were if he had no clue related to the big, obvious problems even laymen like us saw.
Even one of those defects means that there would be significant obstacles placed in front of the offense—rather than facilitating things, Dorsey was doing the opposite, placing big obstacles in front of his talented players. But add up all of the obstacles and they became insurmountable. That is what happened this year, clearly. And the fish then rotted from the head, as the players tried to overcome their grossly incompetent OC.
This year, as the offense became Dorsey's alone, and the heavy lift from last year became their identity, of course the play of the players, even of the best Bills, was going to decline. They were operating in a fundamentally flawed offense, one that could often not even move the ball, and one that caused them to fall behind in game after game. Players, already going into the game with Dorsey's huge obstacles in front of them, now were faced with coming back against teams, teams that seemed to know the Bills extremely limited repertoire of plays by heart, causing the Bills to look sloppy, inept, turn the ball over, and causing them lose their confidence.
Our tough, resilient team was not exhausted in the playoff game, and not against the Jaguars this year because of jet lag…. they were UNPREPARED to play well, let alone win-- shocked, defeated before they even walked on the field, as defenses, especially the good ones, like the Bengals, had come to terms with how fundamentally flawed this offense was. And this year it had become common place, with an offense Dan Orlosvky said was “outrageously predictable” and “the easiest offense in the NFL to defend”. Our recently great, feared offense now the easiest to defend in the NFL? THAT is why the Bills looked so shocked and confused in that playoff game--and we then saw those same faces this year, over and over and over. This is why Michael Robinson bravely called for a change in the OC position before the Thursday night game, one of the few to dare speak the truth on national television.
Good head coaches and defensive coordinators have been like fat kids in a free candy store, drooling and licking their chops, at how easy this very poorly coached offense would be to stop now, despite several elite players and a history of them dominating defenses. This became clearer and clearer.
What happened the next time we saw the starters on the field in the preseason, how did they do? No points(?) scored in the entire half of that preseason game. This was yet another canary in the coal mine for all of us understanding how fundamentally poor Dorsey was at his job. Even in a preseason game his players were unprepared, could not get first downs, could not score. (I kept thinking--what will happen when they play good defenses in the NFL this year--or even mediocre ones?) And the look on the players' faces?--shocked again, and with no answers. Just like they looked against the Bengals in their previous game.
The CW at the time? Just a preseason game, meaningless, as this is going to be a great offense, a “wrecking crew”, as Steve Tasker called them. And then, of course, this was what we would see this season, as that became their identity.
So let's not accept any longer that CW from last January or now from so many on the Dorsey firing. The new CW? Dorsey was a scapegoat, a fall guy, that Allen is to blame, or the other players, and Dorsey should not have been fired, especially in the middle of the season. That this cannot be done now, is almost never the answer, is going to make the Bills worse...
But the CW is wrong again, of course. The Bills were likely not going to beat any of the good teams they are yet to play this year with Dorsey in charge, as they were the worst coached offense in the NFL, turning our once great offense into a crap heap. The only hope to save the season was to get Dorsey out of there.
Now, hopefully there is time for the Bills to show who they really are. It may be hard to rebound quickly from the mess Dorsey alone created, but if I think they will, and prove the latest CW wrong--and last year's too. No dominant teams in the AFC this year, and now we may be able to see what the Josh Allen led Bills are really made of...again.
Of all is this is true, he’ll never get another OC job in NFL. Let’s 👀

Ok. Great.The last time I checked the season is not over. You become a champion when you win it all and this team still has every opportunity to do that.
I still Billieve. We have the talent on offense. Get the ball into the hands of Cook, especially with check down passes on the edge. Kincaid and Diggs doing their usual stuff. Why not stretch the field with Harty? Maybe Lenny for some thunder. Our D is adequate, and above average when we get a lead. Getting a lead early hasn’t happened in a while, but maybe things will change.

The Jets offense is worse than the Bills. It will be a close game. IF Allen does not turn the ball over I believe the Bills win.
Don’t have time to research it, but I’d bet that we win a high percentage of games when he doesn't. I still say go Bills 🦬

Is this bad technique? Isn't technique taught in JV football? Can't he work on this on the jugs machine? Does he not have a position coach to get him to do it right?
I feel like he has heavy feet, too. Watching Diggs run a route is like watching water in motion. So fluid. Davis stomps around on heavy heels like a lineman.
Cut his ass.
He’s our best blocking WR which keeps him on the field 95%. This has value since Knox is out.

My feeling is we have 78% chance of winning; 98% if no turnovers 🦬

I have zero faith that the Bills can come back from any deficit larger than 3 points. If the Bills can build up a quick, significant league, then go to sleep for most of the rest of the game like this team does, then at least we'll have a chance to withstand the inevitable comeback by Denver. If, however, the game is close going into the 2nd quarter, or God forbid, Denver has the lead at the half, it's lights out. A loss here and the wheels are off, and I'd just as soon see them lose out so we can rid ourselves of some overpriced underperforming vets, and maybe some coaches as well.
If Denver is winning 17-7 at half, will the natives be restless 😬

This team feels like the type….
Loss vs Denver = Complete Implosion
Win vs Denver = 13-4 or 12-5
Kinda agree. Don’t see implosion. Too much talent. If they beat Broncs, then I see only 2 losses, so 11-6 and win division. With Joseph, Douglas and Lenny tree trunks working in, not to mention Knox return, we’ll be playoff bound. Get ready for a wild ride. Go Buffalo 🦬

'm sure you've seen it, but watch the endzone view of the ALL-22 and he is not even seeing/looking the dump down option. He is keeping his eyes downfield.
I wonder in this game plan for this third Cincy game if the coaches surmised that what they did previously just wasn’t going to work against Cincy? Therefore, they made adjustments from their tendencies that were on film to outsmart them. Maybe they determined that high risk plays were our only option. Dorsey gets a lot of flack for game planning, but his plan goes up in smoke when execution is abysmal. The game plan always looks great when we pick up a W. To me the back breaker was the 2-3 times that their QB ran for 1st downs.

I would have much preferred and likely defended “The defense of as struggling after a few long drives in a row. We really wanted to give them some time to catch our breath, regroup, and come back out on the field fresh and strong”.Why can’t he just say we nearly lost the TB game because our D was gassed?

We're stuck with Von and Knox, for better or worse.
Tre White, pay reduction or cut.
Take a machete to the rest of the defense and let Gabe Davis walk.
It will be tough to let GD walk if he’s the SB MVP 😂

I think you're kinda nuts on that one. Those boys brought it tonight.
They didn't play well enough but they played hard enough.
Agree 💯. 2 turnovers was the difference, and they outsmarted us with their TEs, and Burrow with his legs. We can play with the big boys. The effort is there. The new guys will make a difference.
10 minutes ago, Scott7975 said:For sure Josh deserves some criticism. I don't disagree with that. However, since Dorsey has gotten here Josh has had clear regression. They are trying to change his game into more of a Tom Brady like game and that just doesn't suit him. At least not yet. Rather than weaving in those concepts and letting him learn, they just full blown went with all of it. Josh is special at things that they took away from him trying to make him special at something he isn't.
I don't care what some efficiency stats show. Efficiency stats are for chumps. What matters is scoring and Josh is on his worst 5 game stretch that I recall. Haven't dug into it but its worse than even last year. Last year, I said Dorsey sucked too. People hung their hat on but but but the scoring is the same (or maybe it was a tad better) as Daboll. Well now its not. Its plummeted. I don't care what stats show. They are stats from a few blowouts that carry it.
Josh needs to be Josh. People need to stop caring that he has a bum game or two because that same Josh is the one that is a superstar and carries the team through 10 other games. A few bad games happen to every QB. It isn't the end of the world. You don't neuter that guy when he produces in the rest of the season. 13 secs is why we don't have a superbowl, not because Josh threw some ints against the Jets or had a bad game against the Jags.
Dorsey is in over his head. His concepts suck for this team. He has no idea how to use the personnel. His game flow is terrible. He can't adjust. He can't design an offense for the talent he has. Josh has bailed him out a lot. Dorsey has a good gameplan here and there. About as many as Josh has Jets games. Asking Josh to play the way they want him to play is like asking Peterman to chuck it down the sideline all game. Square pegs, round holes.
People can say we have no talent on the offense. Sure, we could use another WR #1. We could use a RT. The thing is we have enough talent as is. It is just used wrong. You can't have all stars at that many positions when you are paying a QB.
Agree💯. They let Farve be Farve. They didn’t force him to be Brady or Montana.

It is extremely unlikely that 10 wins will miss the playoffs due to tiebreaker. The chances of FOUR teams other than division winners having 10 wins are very remote. People spend way too much time focusing on tiebreakers instead of overall record.
Not since 2017 have four Wild Card contenders been tied at the end of the season. And that was with 9 wins (albeit in a 16-game schedule).
The Bills need 10 wins for a ~95% chance of the playoffs.
I see the next 2 as key. Our new pick-ups will be worked in, and will be ready for those remaining tough teams. Maybe I’m crazy but we can beat any team left. I see the fish losing a couple more, then we play them for the division. Cincy was the toughest match-up on our schedule and we were right there. We got this!!

He’s had inconsistent play at WR for a year and half now. It’s obvious he doesn’t fully trust a few guys or he doesn’t trust the position Dorsey is putting them in.
I would bet that our receivers and JA17 aren’t on same page with reading the defense pre-snap. That’s one problem, then they must adjust when the defense changes post-snap. It’s obvious when Cook doesn’t pick up a blitzer, but not when WR runs the wrong route based on the defensive scheme post snap. This may explain why JA17 holds the ball and/or double clutches. I didn’t see this with Burrow. Also, I bet we weren’t ready for their use of their TE because we were focused on stopping the run and the WRs. Their game plan was sneaky.

Bills get 31 with Kincaid, Diggs, Cook and Shakar … no make it 38 with a Fournette steamroll into the EZ. Cincy scores 24 with a pick given up by Home Alone. Go Bills 🦬

Yes, Shady had some serious shake and bake, whereas Cook only has the bake. I still don’t think we’ve seen the best Cook recipe yet.
