The closest was the Harty TD (I think that was the Giants game). But yes, not many gadget plays. Would like the jet sweep every so often with Harty. It's Dorsey, I have never seen so many plays were WR end up with in a yard of each other at the top of their routes. It's stupid and gives the D an advantage! Some of it was Shakir too, he ran his route too deep and that put the Defender in that spot. it should have been a shallow sideline route.

The play calling is bad. McD gets conservative against bad teams. We need to be always looking to score! It's tough to sack a QB and not get ruffing calls. Phillips hand slid over the helmet. ***** happens. At least there was some hustle there. That said our biggest loss from injury is Jones. He's dominance with Oliver next to him made the back half much better. If we are trading for players, we need to address DT, LB, #2, CB.

I was like did you say Davis do a juke move!

Some would still find a way to complain! I don't care if it came down to the last play and we get luck! If we win the SB that is all that matters!

AMEN Yes, but still rather play from a lead. It was so much execution in the 2nf half as it was coaching. It's odd that McD coaches more conservation against bad teams then good. If we are playing a good O, he goes for more of the 4th downs as way to keep up scoring. Last night he was relying on the D, which played much better than Sunday, but is missing important pieces.

Fritz is a fan. He is echoing what we are saying. I don't see much difference in Dorsey from Daboll. Other than the weird routes where receivers are ending up next to each other. The biggest flaw is the both try to make the wrong play work and the wrong time. They out smart themselves. And honestly If I was Josh, I would check out of those plays.

It was awful! You could call that on any given play! They were grabbing Diggs all the way down the field and we didn't get a call. Johson had a push at the line and then just covered. It was in no way illegal contact!

I see it as DT, LB, WR, CB. Jones is the biggest loss. Shore that up and the back half looks better.

Week 1 was still the same problem. He forced the ball instead of taking off!

Fixing the O is simple, Stay out of Allen's head! Tell him to ignore the no running crap and play his game. O is fixed!

If that's true trade him for a 2028 7th and be done with him.

The O problem is a simple fix. Tell Josh to play his way and to ignore the no running crap.

Beane is only going to be a buyer at the right price. But if we want a serious sb run, We need a DT to replace Jones, a LB to replace Milano, #2 WR, a CB, and get Henry for the fun of it! Maybe one of those things happens. DT is the biggest issue in my opinion.

Maybe if the coaches didn't neuter him! FREE JOSH!

I'd go 50/50 right now. Doresy needs to be better. Execution must get better! The biggest problem on the O is between Allen's ears. But that is the coach's fault for trying to force him to be a strictly pocket passer!

It is the most frustrating thing in his play design. Why would this be beneficial in any way! Like the few times a ball is tipped?! It only helps the D.

I see the needs as DT, LB, #2, WR

That may be valid. So, Dorsey and the O need to say F-that and play hard, inspired football anyway. Yes! We need help on D because of the injuries. Needs are DT, LB, CB in that order.

Like looking unstoppable at the start of last year. To looking bad at times afterwards (although Allen's injury had caused most of this). This year it went Bad, not in rhythm, Hot and on point, To Aweful, unfocused, no rhythm. I think alot of it is the push to make Allen a pocket passer. To much getting in his head from coaches. Also we need a #2. And open up Kincaids routes! I'd like to see more of Shakir and Sherrfield than Gabe at this point. Not all of course. But he does dictate the ebbs and flows of the O. Starting out with a pick when he didn't even see the defender does not help. But Knox would have probably dropped it anyway had it got there.

French was saying not punting doesn't mean the offense was good. And was agreeing with your point that just like the 49ers let a bad team hang around by not being productive early.

I'd be down. Then we will need to poach a backup CB from some teams PS or the street. If I could pick any WR to get, it would be Evans.

They need to take the handcuffs off Josh. Don't call QB running plays, and not too many options plays. But don't tell him not to run when he needs to make a play. His best runs are when the play breaks down and he spies an opening. Don't worry about him sliding or getting out of bounds. When his running he is expecting the hits. Let him do him. He is getting hurt in the pocket! He should be given 2 or 3 options to call at the line after seeing the D line up. Put it on his shoulders, it's the way the offense runs best. Now it won't work everytime. But we will see less of the stalled lifeless drives that we have the past 3 games. The D injuries hurt us a lot. Jones being the worst one. We need a second DT now. But if the O get's in sync faster, we score enough to allow the D to be aggressive and can live with some mistakes there.

I'm not looking into numbers that much. They probably prove your point as far as scores. But in the end 3-4 games are all that will matter. Play well enough to be in the best position going into the playoffs. Then just win out. It's harder to be that repeat team in the free agency area (unless you cheat, aka 2000 pats). There is much more parity than in the past. Not like there is going to be an OC change this season for the Bills. So far, we can't get past the CF to go to the dance. If that doesn't happen this year, and play calling is mediocre during the rest of the season, new OC should happen. This Allen era team is setting up to be talked about like the 90's team. Good team, very good O, but couldn't close the deal. But not one of the best. W-L record we look that way. But the Kelly era O was more effective and efficient. It also was something the league had not seen much of. Some of our WR route concepts now, do make me pause. We see far too many times where WR end up close to each other. Not sure if they are trying to setup the rub plays. Or think there is some advantage there that I can't fathom. And why we are so bad at executing screens, I can't understand. They better figure out quickly how to get Kincaid deeper. Otherwise, he was a wasted pick, and we should have picked or traded for a true #2 WR. So, let's hope continued adjustments happen, consistency sets in, and we get hot at the right time.

I get it and yes, the Bills are inconsistent. But who's more consistent (beside the 2000 era Pats). KC is showing flaws. Everyone knows Miami will struggle. Bengals were 0-3. Eagles and SF look the most consistent in the league the past 2 years. And they (barring injury, etc) will get the playoffs. But SF took abit last year to look that good. And then they got good play out of a low draft pick. I don't see that any different this year for the Bills. Allen is adjusting to not taking off or playing hero ball. It takes time to find that consistency and rhythm. I wish we had gotten a proven OC or at least brought in an asst HC on O to help Dorsey. But its not like the losses were Dorsey's fault. Lack of execution gave us our 2 losses.

If it was easy there be 16 undefeated teams and 16 winless teams.
