McDaniel is doing a really nice job scheming plays for the dolphins. You can see the focus to have Tua get the ball out quickly. One two throw

New Jersey media is gonna come down hard on Daboll if they start 0-2. Denver trouncing Washington Chargers and Bengals 0-2. Still cannot believe how we gift wrapped a win to the Jets.

One of the better overall performances by the OL. Their play will be huge if they can play like that consistently. Running game strong, Josh took what the D gave him and protected the ball. Nice to see multiple receivers involved and making plays. D dominant against the run. Pass D still needs to be better. Forced 3 turnovers! Zero sacks by the D. Still major room for improvement w playcalling by Dorsey when they are in first and goal. Nice team win, now let’s go beat Washington! BTW, Chargers and Bengals both 0-2.

Questions I have regarding Josh’s development and coaching: * Who is with him on the sidelines during the game? Not once did I see him reviewing the previous plays on an iPad or any coach talking to him. What was he seeing? The first two interceptions were rookie level bad just chucking it deep into double coverage just hoping. That’s inexcusable going into his 6th year. I’ll reiterate INEXCUSABLE! * Were was the in game coaching during the game? Basically Josh we need you to play conservative with a 16-3 lead and their backup QB is in the game. Don’t go looking to force anything and protect the ball at all costs. It’s okay to punt! *The Jets have played this same defense against Buffalo for multiple games now. Is Josh, Dorsey and the QB coach not going thru film and breaking it down? It was very obvious last night they weren’t going to get beat deep. * For all the talk about captains and more vocal leadership where was it last night? At some point someone needed to chew his ass out. #accountability * I saw McDermott once point to his head to play smarter but that was it. After the 3rd quarter it was obvious, he wasn’t playing smart. McDermott needed to pull him aside. * Is McDermott’s focus on D taking away from coaching the team as a whole unit? * Unfortunately, the entire team talks about improving but it seems we are constantly experiencing the same reoccurring trends under McDermott. Ultimately he is the coach and the buck should stop with him. I’m not making excuses for Josh at all but when a player or players are struggling where is the in game coaching?

Fitting ending to an absolute sh*t show on all levels by the Bills. Coaching, scheming, tackling, QB play. McDermott should get roasted by the media.

This has to rank as the worst loss in the McDermott era based upon expectations. They have literally learned nothing this offseason. All the talk is nothing but talk.

What an epic train wreck! Embarrassing on all levels.

ABSOLUTELY HOT GARBAGE THE ENTIRE 2nd Half.

No words how bad Josh is tonight with his decision making.

Is it too much to ask for the Bills to score a TD this drive?

That’s twice now he’s whiffed on Hall.

Bills O puts up a big goose egg in the 3rd qtr when they had a chance to put this game away. SMH

Josh HAS TO UNDERSTAND points are gonna be a premium this game. Quit doing idiotic things. You’re in your 5th year for cripe sakes.

STUPID STUPID STUPID SMH!

Our D is not good. For whatever reason, every season the Bills get exploited in the run game. Disappointing coming out of the locker room.

I think most of us would be pleased to be up 13-3 at half. Run D has to tighten up Offensively play smart, take the easy throws and keep moving the chains. LETS GO BUFFALO!

Some posters still haven’t recovered from the drought trauma. It’s a GREAT time to be a Bills fan. On paper the schedule looks harder but I like the weapons we’ve added at WR, RB and TE. Our interior OL has been upgraded. We’ve certainly added speed and a power running game to an already potent offense. On D, having Hyde and a healthy Tre back is a significant upgrade to the secondary. We have strong depth in the secondary and DL. If the Bills can play to their potential, eliminate self inflicted mistakes and stay healthy, I like our chances against anyone in the league.

In all seriousness, does Bernard start out on PUP or even a possible cut? May sound harsh but what has he shown thus far to take up a roster spot?

My core frustration with this topic, is Beane and McDermott already knew they had a gap at MLB when Edmunds departed in FA. Why in the world would they use a 3rd pick on an OLB when they already had a proven player with a new contract in Milano at OLB. If they truly believed Bernard or Dodson was Edmunds successor, I have even more questions. They totally ignored the position. There was nothing last season or in training camp to double down on Bernard or Dodson. Thats twice Beane used and missed in the 3rd round at LB on questionable players and we still have no viable solution going into the season or the future at MLB. I do believe Williams has far more potential long term though. However, I question if that was the best use of a 3rd round pick knowing our needs. I’m supportive of them both as their body of work is solid but they’ve shown a history of making some headscratching decisions. IMO, it’s these little things that can ultimately keep them from achieving a SuperBowl.

I like Williams as his upside looks greater than anyone we have at MLB after two preseason games. Not even sure why Torrence hasn’t been declared the starter at this point. He looks solid. However, it will be very disappointing if Beane doesn’t try to swing a trade before roster cuts to address the lack of talent at MLB and OT. The amount of DL depth is too much for go with a void at OT and MLB. Bernard and Dodson haven’t panned out. To just ignore it seems short sided. Even if he adds someone after final roster cuts, the player will only have a small window to learn before the first regular season game in the system. Lastly, I’m not a fan of the new roster cut format. I would think the NFLPA wouldn’t be either.

It’s nice that on 8/16 one of the main topics for dialogue is competition for who gets the 6th WR spot. I’m just hoping we get more productivity from the slot this year. Teams have to respect Diggs and Davis with the deep ball. That makes the underneath vulnerable if Harty, Kincaid, Knox, etc can take advantage! BTW when does Josh get a vet rest day? I don’t recall him not practicing yet?

I can’t remember a time where the AFCE has been this competitive from top to bottom. Highlights how NE owned the division for so long. NE and NYJ play a 4th and 3rd place schedule which should bring a few more wins to each.

My initial reactions: * Like what I saw for both starting OG. Feel like we can lock them in as game one starters. * Running game looks promising * Dorian Williams stood out at LB more than anyone else. Headscratching why they’re not looking at the Milano/Williams combo more. * DL looks solid. Hopefully they stay healthy and can consistently get to the QB. * I thought Elam played solid * Harty, Shakir and Isabella all have different strengths in the slot. Hoping someone stands out as we need significant improvement. The final roster will be interesting to see what they do.

Nothing against Dane, but I believe he played 5 snaps so that’s a small sample size to say up or down. If you want to say it’s up and basing it on for starting and making the gift interception

Anyone have any insights on potential LBs that might get cut from other teams due to depth or salary impacts? Would seem foolish if we don’t try to upgrade if possible. As it stands right now the drop off in LB quality after Milano is huge.
