The Red King

It's refreshing to see an offense designed to use the strengths of your personnel. Cook and Kincaid were doing what I had hoped and expected they would do when we got them. Just Dorsey flat-out refusing to use them that way. Our weapons are becoming weapons, and I love the look of it.

Aside from the injuries, I am thrilled with how the game went. New coordinator on a short week against the Jets D and we get 32? I'll take it. Next week will be huge. If Buffalo can manage a W, then they'll have two weeks to get the new offensive changes cemented in before KC.

Interesting how these long official delays keep coming when the Jets are on their heels.

Really guys? Really?

Well, let's see how they respond. The Bills' defense is the walking wounded, even more so now. Offense is going to need to turn it up in the second half.

Getting sick of these injuries. Doesn't seem to matter, play well, and then *bam*. It's like, which key player(s) is going down this week.

Don't forget, this is our interim OC's first game, and it's on a short week against the Jets' D. The 'O' isn't going to go from zero to hero overnight. I wanted to see progress and something to give hope, and so far this game has done that.

Receiver laid out a helmet to helmet hit on him. >.>

Anyone else as giddy as I am about how the OC is calling this game?

31-21 Bills.

You can't expect miracles. He's game-planning on a short week against the Jets' D. That's why I would have preferred this a week earlier for a long week of prep against Denver, but here we are. In other words, I'm really hoping for good things. But also realize you can't judge the new guy based just on tomorrow. I'm more just looking for progress and hoping the Bills can pull off wins until the bye.

Should have happened a week earlier, but I'll take it.

This aged so, so poorly. 🤣 Pattern recognition, people. We went through this exact same scenario after the Green Bay game last season. The concerns expressed (that got the people saying them mocked) were later validated. And this season everything played out exactly the same as last season. I really wanted to be proven wrong, but the signs were there, clear as day to anyone with their eyes open.

It will take more then one game to restore my confidence in this team, no matter the outcome.

I honestly think McD could make a living as a coach that brings teams out of the dumpster fire and moves on.

McD is the Tyrod Taylor of coaching. Good enough to get you to the playoffs. Good enough to keep you from having a terrible record, but not good enough to take you all the way. We needed him uniquely to drag us out of the drought, and I will always be thankful for that, but he just can't get us past the hump, he's lost the team and left Josh a mental mess.

Show me a game where this happens. This situation, needing the TD, where someone about to run it in kneels instead. Seriously, has this happened? If you need a FG, sure. But not when you need a TD.

I didn't watch at all. Just peeked occasionally at the GameCast on espn.com. And I'm glad, b/c I do not need the stress and anger I would have had watching it. I want McD and Dorsey gone. Like now. Don't care who else on the staff is gonna fill interm HC, OC and DC. Get them out. Fire them out of a cannon. Yeet them into the sun. So many wasted opportunities this year, and now Josh is broken. Bring on the purge.

It can be both. To everyone saying injuries don't matter, well, why play our starters all game? We should be making line-changes like in hockey. Our backup QB should be taking half the snaps to keep Allen fresh. Does all this sound silly? Yes! Because backups usually aren't as good as starters. To claim our injuries are not a problem, or not a factor, is just blatently stupid. Having said that, yes, there are more problems here then just injuries. The offense is unoriginal, uninspired, unable to adapt and now figured out by the rest of the league. Anyone that thinks all the Bills' woes are completely the fault of only one of the two things listed above needs to pay closer attention.

Something's gotta give...

The key is this... It's okay to be optimistic. Just don't attack people who aren't. This entire thread started out as "We're 4-2, are people really complaining?". Some people said yes, and explained why. Then others laid into them, telling them how ridiculous they were being and attacking them for even suggesting there may have been cracks forming. Given where we are now, I think it's obvious the critics may have been on to something. Don't you? The problem wasn't just in being optimistic. That's fine, and I can certainly respect that. The problem was in attacking those who tried to voice (since proven valid) concerns.

Actually, people were upset that other people jumped all over them for having the audacity to suggest there were points of concern despite being 4-2. Those people are now pointing out that the aforementioned concerns were since proven perfectly valid and those people that blasted them for it now look foolish.

I thought it was 2-1. Didn't we beat them Burrow's rookie year?

If they want even a shot of salvaging the season this needs to happen right now. We got Denver coming up. It's the perfect time to do this.

Two words...Brett Farve.
