IMO, he deserves just as much of the blame as anyone else. Players not lining up correctly, few rub routes, screens, short passes, reverse direction, motion, etc. Yes, talent is lacking but he continues to try to throw deep routes with WR’s who can’t separate, an OL that struggles to block and a QB who is still learning. The deep out he called with NP in the game was inexcusable and down right idiotic. Everyone knows NP can’t make that throw except NP, McDermott and Daboll!

What a mess McDermott and Beane have created with the QB position and the offense. After the Baltimore game NP should have been cut and a proven vet brought in. With Josh out, I believe it’s a no brainer we will be competing for the #1 overall pick.

Spot on! It’s the little things and attention to details that always bite the Bills! Punt blocking, lining up correctly, fielding a punt, etc.. Most of that is on the coaches!

WGR just trying to stir the pot! Would be idiotic for the Bills to play Anderson or Peterman at any point this year unless Josh is injured! The kid is a rookie playing the most important position on the team with few players on offense to lean on. For all the moaning and groaning about his play against the Titans, he wasn’t asked to do a whole lot. He led them to three scores and a game winning drive. Plus a botched FG which would have been four scores against a team that was 3-1. Some of you need patience!

If they sign Anderson, I would think NP goes to the practice squad as no other team is going to pick him up. Waste of a roster spot otherwise.

Was out of town this weekend, but recorded the game and watched it late last night. Josh is obviously still developing but overall he is growing. Complain about the playcalling and not throwing the ball all you want, but he’s still developing even with this gameplan. Anyone remember Big Ben’s first year? He rarely threw more than 10 passes a game. It’s providing Josh with more confidence, smaller sample size of his throws to assess in the film room and allowing him to mature reading defenses more effectively. I’d prefer the Bills to take this approach compared to getting sacked 5 times per game with a receiving core that is weak. Asking him to throw it 25+ per game with our current offensive talent is trying to fit a square peg in a round hole! Have some patience and enjoy this season for what it is. They are a major work in progress. Defense looks like it’s corrected itself. Never expected Josh to come in day one a lite it up but he is by far the most talented QB, we’ve had since Kelly. IMO, I look at Josh as a glass half full not half empty and overall like what I seem from him thus far. 2-2 as a starter with 5 TD’s. Expect with an upgraded OL and receiving core in his 2nd season and a year of experience plus another full offseason to grow, I’m excited about our future! BTW....love the Bills bringing in Anderson to help this young man develop and lean on a experienced vet!

I don’t understand all the criticism regarding Clay. I get he’s not an all-pro TE but the last few years besides McCoy, he is one of our most reliable receivers. IMO, Clay is very low on the list of our offensive issues. RT, C, both OG’s, and the majority of our WR’s. Add in a struggling OC and it’s not much better than a collegiate offense! If you move Shady and Clay you might as well start Peterman the rest of the year and let Josh watch and learn!

I know it’s common sense, but it is absolutely critical the Bills acquiring offensive difference makers on offense thru the draft and FA this offseason. They have no excuses. It’s an offense based scoring league. While the defense isn’t top five it should be sufficient. Add a OLB and CB and everything else should be offensive based! Screw it up and McDermott’s time as the HC will be short!

I respect KW but at this point is he really anything more than McDermott’s asst coach? KW has been pretty much invisible this season with the exception of a few plays. McDermott’s coach speak is starting to get really annoying when the results are becoming all too familiar!

Thanks Shaw for the write up. As a long time Bills fan, I’ve conceded this year the Bills are a work in progress and most likely will finish with a top five draft pick. With that sad my expectations are minimal THIS year. I’m looking for a few things this season: 1) How is McDermott learning and growing as a head coach? 2) Are players improving and developing? 3) Can our OC put together a consistent and competitive offensive scheme? 4) Does Josh learn from his mistakes that he will make and improve at reading defenses? Lastly, regarding Allen I have major concerns who is helping him develop? Who’s in the film room with him, who is talking to him on the sidelines? The lack of an experienced QB to help him is a HUGE void in my opinion. I feel this staff has put him on an island and it’s ALL on him to learn and improve with zero supporting cast.

Where to begin: 1. Figure out how to block in the middle of the line. Ridiculous how many rushers come untouched straight up the middle. 2. Get back to calling screens, slants, etc. The OL and WR don’t have the ability to do much more. 3. Get Shady the ball in open space more. 4. Having any sort of rushing game would be a huge bonus! 5. Pressure from the starting DL. Still can’t believe the OC playcalling today!

We certainly look like a top draft pick contender this year which is a first for me. Next year, you draft and add the following thru FA. WR, OT, OLB, CB, C and OG. If the Bills could just have a positive impact in these positions, 2019 should show much different results. Personally, I would not address the DL. Hughes, Shaq, Murphy, Star and Phillips are sufficient. DE would be a priority in 2020.

Defense is pathetic!

Bills D have given up 8 red zone TD’s on 8 try’s! Wow!!!! Another blowout in the works. Can’t block, can’t run, can’t pass protect, can’t punt and our defense is competing for worst in the league!

Rivers had about 5-6 secs to throw. SMH!

Don’t even think KB turned back. One would think the OC and WR would know Josh will have about 2seconds max to throw today!

Nice to see the OL showed up today! SMH!

Ourselves! Barring drastic changes I’m of the belief we are a lock for the first pick. Based upon yesterday, I don’t see one team on the schedule that we will be favored to beat. Just run Peterman out for 3 more games as the starter to punctuate the tank!

He might be our starter in week two! SMH!

Not defending them cutting him, but is he really the biggest problem on this team? The bias towards players not signed or drafted by these two is short sided in my opinion.

I love how we cut young developing players. Sad how McDermott and Beane continue to purge everyone they didn’t draft or sign. KEEP Peterman but cut Washington, that will solve things!

Wonder if the Ravens would take a 5th for RGIII? If they don’t think Allen is ready then go get a proven vet!

Next year will bring even more change to the roster. KW, Lorax, KB, possibly McCoy and Clay will be gone. Not sure what pieces of the OL outside of Dawkins is salvageable. Assume Teller starts at OG next year. Maybe keep Miller, so you’d need a center and a RT. If Allen shows promise, you have to load up on offense. Defense needs another OLB. This year is going to be bad. Not sure if they will be favored in any game this year! If Allen is solid you trade down for more picks!

The Bills do know this isn’t a preseason game right? McDermott is going to earn his pay this year! Could lose the locker room if he keeps playing Peterman!

Tampa has 31 points and we’re still working on getting a first down and 20 yards of offense! Woof!
