Shouldn't they have been mad before the game? They knew Jacksonville was going to be in England two weeks in a row when the schedule came out. Fact is the team didn't play well, injuries mounted again and the offense was struggling to do anything for 3 quarters. Blame jet leg or bad calls but the reality still is the Bills lost the game in the end. All a fan of this team can do rightnow is hope they figure out a way to fix clear issues the team has. No amount of complaining and anger we have as fans does anything, it's on the players and the coaches as it always is to fix it.

It's possible for two things to be true:
1) The D were warriors today and did almost everything humanly possible under the circumstances
and
2) The failure of the D to get the Jags off the field created a negative feedback loop on an offense that got off to a slow start. The O was cursed with bad field position all game and struggled to find any rhythm because the D had very few clean stops. Even the 2 forced fumbles came at the end of long, time consuming drives.
Honestly the offense not putting up points hurt the defense imo. Jacksonville was never put in any pressure situations from playing without the lead today. We were chasing them all game, I was hoping to get a lead and force them to have to feel the pressure to score which might of created mistakes from them.

The crazy thing is that in the box score it says both teams had 12 drives. The Jaguars ran almost 30 more plays than we did though. They also kept running the ball and Etienne killed us in the 4th qtr.
The defense was gassed, they lost two starters and Von only played like 5 snaps or a crazy low number like that. Honestly they battled as best they could and hats off to them for it.

That's fair.
Maybe a little extra verbal encouragement from the unquestioned leader of the team could have sparked players to execute better.
McD does it all the time with his clapping.
You're grasping here, maybe if Diggs doesn't get the ball ripped out of his hands it could of changed the outcome or hey maybe if Shakir breaks a tackle and we get that 2 point conversion it could of been different to. What ifs aren't reality.

Don't compare Mahomes to Allen. Mahomes has two rings and is by far better than Allen. Don't do that to Allen. It's not fair.
What does having 2 rings mean with what you were asked? He was comparing how Mahomes is on the sidelines not in the field of play. To bring up superbowl wins has no bearing on what he asked you.

Honestly a little bit, if you noticed at the end he did start running a bit, and he did look pissed after scoring the last TD after he drove the team down the field pretty damn quick. Might have been a little frustrated that he played within the system the whole game and still ended up with a pick and probably needing an onside kick.
That's what I'm saying, the game plan stunk we all witnessed that. Actually I'm going to give Josh credit for staying as patient as he did instead of just chucking the ball down field. If he does that this game is even worse and he would be getting torched for trying to play hero ball again.

I expected him to show some passion. Be a vocal leader. Gather up some offensive players and show something. I saw no passion at all. I didn't see the it factor out of him. Did you,? Did you see him sitting on the sidelines almost in disbelief. I saw Diggs being fired up and wanting to win so bad. I saw no fire in Allen. In short, I didn't see much of a leader out there. Frankly, it looked like he was flat and going through the motions.
He can be as fired up as Diggs but how does that change the game plan from Dorsey at all? Is Josh getting in his players faces suddenly going to make dorsey run screens or use more motions, or get Kincaid involved more?

I never said Allen played bad. Reread my post please. I said he played ok and made the point that he didn't play really well. I stand behind what I said and tried to give some evidence to why. Feel free to disagree. Just please don't inaccurately paraphrase me.
Dorsey sucked today. His offense had no creativity and was too predictable. He failed to use his tight ends as passing weapons, never called a screen, goes into shotgun on what could be running plays, didn't use Allen as a runner, continues to run Cook between the tackles, and fails to make good gametime adjustments.
The issue is the offense which includes both Dorsey and Allen. I have no identity to the Bills offense. I'm afraid Dorsey doesn't either.
Allen had no pep in his step today. He was emotionless throughout the game. I remember the Josh on the sidelines going up and the bench and sidelines giving his offensive players words of encouragement. I remember believing he's going to get the ball and lead the team to victory. I saw and felt none of that today. I saw an Allen going through the motions. Yes he's that good he can still put up numbers. He lacked intangibles today. I saw much more passion and spark from Diggs.
So Josh had a sucky game plan to work with and did what he could. If dorsey sucked that bad how exactly was Josh supposed to fix that. That was the game plan they went over all week, should he just say f it and call his own plays then? I'm not here saying Josh was excellent today but if the game plan was as bad as you are saying I don't know what you expected Allen to do then.

Did he really play well? Serious question there. I don't think he played poorly at all. I thought he was ok but nothing really special or elite. I didn't see an it factor, a chip on his shoulder, or a lot of emotion. I never felt like he was going to lead the team to victory. He really didn't use his legs as a weapon or extend plays that led to huge plays. In fact, his two long throws to Diggs were under thrown which negated easy TDs. That's not playing really well. He's the leader of the offense and they sucked for three quarters. Diggs was the only one showing emotion on the sidelines. Meanwhile, we saw a muted Allen who almost looked distracted or disinterested. No Allen chatting with his players. No pep talk. No pats on the back. No emotion. He looked like he was going through the motions. Another day at the office. I saw very little emotion and leadership in Allen today.
If you look at stats and didn't see the game; I can see how you think he played "really well." His intangibles were not good today. I disagree he played really well. The whole offense including Allen gets a D grade.
Awful take you blame dorsey for bad game planning and now Josh Allen for playing bad. If the game plan was bad and Allen still managed to actually have as good a game as he did what does that say to you? You're spinning in circles here so was Josh the issue or Dorsey?

Just now, I am leaving for good said:
Von Miller looks like his better NFL days are behind him in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo
It was his first game back from a torn acl. No training camp no preseason action at all. So can we give it at least a few games before a statement like that?

MVP doesn’t matter. He won’t win. Do you see all the calls Mahomes gets? And he will need to play at an MVP level to make the playoffs if the injury attrition rate holds up.
He is capable of playing at that level though. At this rate and this Taylor Swift nonsense I wouldn't be surprised if kelce won it lol

Maybe that's why we're dejected...more of the same. I could see if KC imploded their fans could lift each other up and say hey remember last year's SB win? What do us Bills fans have? Remember that awesome Pats wild card win? Or the 4 straight SB (losses).
It adds up and takes the joy out of watching.
But that's what we have in common as Bills fans, all the misery has bonded us as a fan base, for good and for all the bad. We pick ourselves up and cheer on our team. We are anything but Fairweather as Bills fans. A superbowl would be amazing for this fan base, honestly I think it would mean more to us fans then any team who has won a superbowl, and I'm never going to stop hoping for that moment. Call me crazy but that's how I am. I get frustrated and angry but my love for the Bills will be the same every game and every season...good or bad lol.

Clinically speaking, you spent your Bills formative years in a constant state of hope. Every 3 years you got a new coach and QB and there existed renewed hope for a winning combination that would bring home a Lombardi.
Now, you don’t have any new combinations coming. You got the QB - long term. And the coach isn’t going anywhere. You know there is no new combination coming. You just have to hope that your current combination will figure it out. Every year that the long term combination doesn’t work, you feel more and more hopeless… because there is no hope for a different combination in the near future.
Or not. I’m not a psychiatrist.
You always got to hope until it's over. The season is 5 games in and we are 3 and 2, if you're giving up hope now that's on you. As long as we have 17 as our qb I find it hard not to be hopefull but that's just me I guess.

Partly true here but not the whole picture. Let me try to clarify.
Ridley was killing the Bills all game. I'm not coach but as a fan I know you have to take away their best player. I just wouldn't have let Ridley beat me. I think a New England coach would agree. Now what play or scheme that is I don't know. I can say no matter the play it seemed unlikely the Bills were gonna stop the Jags. It was just that kinda day.
Regards to Miller. That's a head scratcher to activate Miller so he could play 5 plays. That's beyond being limited as you said. No one was advocating the Bills take unnecessary risks with Von. No one implied this either. It's simple you don't activate a player to play 5 plays. If Von didn't feel right or something like that then I get it. There are no reports of this being the case.
Agree that the Bills didn't execute. As a fan I just can't get a grip on this offense. Something just seems off.
I watch the 49ers, Lions, and Dolphins play and say to myself now there are offenses. Offenses with half the QB the Bills have. Besides Diggs the Bills have no one reliable.
The league didn't do any favors having the Jags on a back to back in London. However, that's only half the story. The Bills travel schedule was a huge mistake. That's not on the league. The Bills were sleep walking through much of the game. Allen a day or two before talked about how tired he was. McD when asked implied it didn't work.
Bottom line is the Bills weren't ready to play. A pretty common theme for at least a game or two under the McD era. Bad game will happen but being unprepared and not ready to play is unacceptable. That's not on the league. It's on the coaching staff and players.
So what did you say about the Dolphins offense last week just wondering there champ?

If groot was healthy Von wouldn't of even played today, he has a ways to go before it's full Miller time again imo

McDermott Hot Seat?

The game has passed him by, honestly it isn't just the quarterback situation there. His personal decisions have been pretty obsurd as of late as well. He is a name at this point but a good Nfl head coach he is not....not anymore at least.
