The Bills aren't loaded. They have holes due to lack of talent and injury, especially on defense. But receiver is a problem on offense. Pegula holds McDermott accountable. He is the only one. And I MUCH prefer McDermott's aggressive defense to Frazier's passive defense. McDermott just needs to make some adjustments and rethink what he calls in certain situations. He might not be able to do that. We'll see. McDermott should be feeling the heat, but not for making the correct call on moving on from those coordinators.

Too risky for me. I guess I am more conservative.

Hate to say it, but Allen's bad INT really contributed. He played great for 99% of the game, and the one mistake he made was a back breaker. Besides that, officiating was really bad. Bass missing kicks. McDermott not being able to adjust well to the Eagles adjustments. And Gabe Davis not looking for the ball in an obvious situation where he should have been looking for the ball. And every time Sherfield came in for Diggs, it was a disaster. What was up with Diggs? Why did he need to leave the field so much?

You just need excellent coverage guys to blitz like that, and the secondary is so banged up.

I'm fine with blitzing, just not the all-out blitz he is so fond of. I mean, I like the aggressive mentality, but sometimes it is just dumb to do that. That all-out blitz against the Broncos was one of the key plays that lost the Bills the game. And now again against the Eagles.

Nice breakdown. I wish McDermott did not blitz so many guys all the time. I'm not against blitzing, but it is just so risky blitzing that many. Why not bring just one or two extra?

Firing Rick Dennison was the correct move. Firing the special teams coordinator was the right move. Moving on from Frazier was the right move. Firing Ken Dorsey was the right move. So far he is got all of those right. There were major improvements to each of those units after those coordinators left. Our special teams last year were one of the best in the league, but they have taken a step back this year, for some reason. I'd say the big mistake McDermott made was promoting Dorsey, but there was a lot playing into that, especially with how vocal Josh Allen was about it. Have any of the firings been a mistake? I don't get it. The fans called for those coordinators to be fired too, and when McDermott actually does it, fans complain about it?

It is an uphill battle. They literally can't lose another game, and that might not even be enough. There are a lot of depressed and angry fans. I get that. But the offense is finally alive. They were playing probably the best team in the league and took them to overtime, despite horribly one-sided officiating the entire game. One or two plays different and the Bills would have won it. That is what sucks so much.

It only looks fixed if you are trying to look for it. You'll find evidence because you want to find evidence, not because there actually is evidence. The league is not fixed. How could you get all 32 owners on board? Why would some owners agree to always have a sucky team and never win a superbowl? Now, are there individuals trying to cheat? You better believe it. And that can come from anywhere in the league.

Looked incomplete to me. Plenty of other officiating problems, though.

Sherfield and Harty were busts. Davis needs to walk. They need to bring in a legitimate #2 receiver and a deep threat. The safety position needs an overhaul too.

The Bills are playing well despite the horrible officiating. Keep it up.

Literally every team does this.

Well, not unless you think the Bills need to win out to get into the playoffs. If the Bills lose another game, ideally it would be against an NFC opponent. So, if they lose this game and then win their next two, then what? Showing they can "play with the big boys" doesn't actually affect anything besides your confidence in the team.

Yes, he blocked well in the run game. He deserves kudos for that. But he is a RECEIVER. He didn't receive anything.

Yeah, considering he is likely a major reason for their offensive struggles. I'd love to see that.

That was horrible. He just stood there looking at the ball. He should be benched for that.

Right? They have Trevor Siemian. Why would he not be the backup? He isn't great, but he is better than Boyle.

Boyle is way worse than Zach Wilson.

Flutie and Johnson were working with the Russians? It all makes sense, now...

Russian hackers trying to divide Bills fans. It is the next conspiracy.

It's hard to tell. It could have been at the edge of the field.

Surely it wasn't on the field...

Part of concussion protocol is getting back to football activities and seeing how you respond, so that makes sense. Clearly, Taron Johnson responded well, so he cleared protocol.

Stop them on earlier downs. 1 yard has never been difficult for teams to convert on anyways. Ok, but Brady was basically unstoppable on the QB sneak as well, so there is something to compare there. The reason Brady was so good was because of expert execution by him and the oline. They just were so dialed in and knew how to do it so well. That is how it is for Philly too. Other teams can't replicate what they do.
