If Sean deserves to continue as HC after watching the tape of the Texan game and watching Dawkins futility and lack of effort, he should question his commitment, his ability and get him to play a big game against Pitt. If he gets dominated it’s on Sean.

Not only should Allen call most plays but they should go no huddle through large portions of the game, especially at home. This gives our receivers more ability to create separation and allow our embattled O-line to take advantage of rushers that are a little gassed. Naturally Brady can have input on certain down and distance and when we want to bleed clock things change.

Forget getting no sacks, he doesn’t even bat down throws. Extending him, wishing and hoping he fills out and becomes a penetrating force is emblematic of Beane’s futility as a GM. Throw in Bernard, Benford Rapp,Knox extensions and having Jones, Milano still on the roster playing injured or missing games. Beane takes the most expedient, low risk approach to management and that’s why we’re circling the drain, with no cap space, no receivers and a window that may be closing much sooner than expected.

Watching the Bills is very stressful because they have issues and it is impossible to predict how they will play from week to week. Josh and Cook are incredible and the O -line is good and bad depending on the competition. Most games are really closely contested so it becomes edge of your seat nail biters. Not to many blowouts so you need to control your blood pressure.

Dawkins has checked out and has become a personality more or less. He’s a false start and holding penalty waiting to happen. The O -line coaches know he’s outlived his usefulness but with all the needs on this team a reliable left tackle is as likely as getting another franchise QB.with the cap situation. The most telling visual last night was seeing him smiling and laughing it up with the Houston edge rusher who used him like a turnstile and after almost getting Josh killed , showing no disappointment. He is a liability and against a playoff edge rusher on the road, it’s going to be ugly.

Sean is a great leader and the team seems unified and a positive culture has been established.They play for each other.Unfortunately he is not what this team needs right now. We desperately need an innovative offensive coach who can best utilize our most talented players. He also is not fundamentally sound because every week the players have an abundance of bad decisions and dumb penalties. Could it be he has lost his ability to keep some of these older players disciplined and detail oriented? When a player like Dawkins, has a presnap penalty on a 4th and one, that is on the HC. When you’re a turnstile like Dion was and you’re getting humiliated and putting your franchise QB in real danger, you can’t make that mistake. Also, his personnel decisions have been really bad. Why did he allow Coleman to go down in flames over 10 weeks before calling him out? Why didn’t he insist on Beane bringing in a competent secondary player at the deadline, knowing our corners were not effective, and we lost Rapp for the season? How far will we go watching this team diminish before we address these problems?

Brady is not great but I thought at least we had a competent O-line, capable of pass protection. Sadly, they are lacking and are going to get Josh seriously injured. I’m so tired of presnap and holding penalties because these overrated tackles are overmatched especially on the road. Dawkins and Brown were so bad tonight that it makes you wonder how they would stand up on the road in the playoffs. Josh had no one to throw to on the plays where he got sacked and obviously he got frustrated and made bad decisions on the picks. Forget our defense because, we can’t pressure the QB and our secondary can’t cover. Everyone on the defense looks like they’re playing injured. Beane is responsible for this roster and he’s hamstrung every year by expensive personnel decisions he’s made that give him no cap flexibility. I love this team but realistically you can’t be confident about a deep run in the playoffs if they get there.

I understand that having the Bills record of division titles gets sports media to assign credit to a front office for personnel decisions and coaching hires, but the team doesn’t pass the eyeball test to keen observers. Will you as a Beane supporter acknowledge that after Diggs, he has not brought in an adequate group of receivers to support the best arm talent QB in football? Would you acknowledge his last 3 drafts has not netted a game changing skill position or defensive player? Between the whiff on Coleman and the cap restrictions caused by extending or keeping injury prone or unproductive players that prevent acquisitions, he has reduced our defensive unit to mediocre at best and made bringing in a vertical threat receiver at the deadline impossible.We don’t stop the run and our secondary lacks quality depth. An elite GM shouldn’t allow a HOF QB to look as frustrated and impotent as Josh looked against Miami if he can make a move to improve the team. See what Philly, Seattle did.

The problem is with Josh and Cook,we’re never going to be bad enough for ownership to replace Beane. He’s just not in the class of the elite GMs that win SBs(KC, Philly, LA,). Sean will go before Beane guaranteed.

It’s a self fulfilling prophecy that when a guy gets drafted as high as Coleman( 1st rd if you factor the trade down) management will sacrifice the success of the position group to force development of the pick. Our offense became run first with short receiver screens or check downs because our primary wideout couldn’t get open or nonchalanted his route and didn’t even bother to sell it. It took 10 games and Josh looking frustrated and ineffective to realize Coleman was a huge problem. Now, with the a realistic group( still lacking a true #1 or #2) giving Josh opportunities downfield and open receivers, we’re looking formidable. Sadly, this is the biggest indictment of a defensive/ST HC. He knew how undeveloped and mentally checked out Coleman was way before this but allowed team confidence to diminish rather than pull the trigger on replacing him. If we’re going to be successful Brady has to take charge of personnel similar to what Dabol did. Brady did a 180 in his play calling when Sean finally sat Coleman.

Hardman goes from team to team because along with flashes of speed and talent he features poor ball security and the dropsies. He will do more damage than we can afford.

Who’s gonna play QB for them? I doubt Rodger’s will play with a broken bone in his wrist.

I’m not anointing him as being great but for a Bishop detractor I am proud to say he looks physical , athletic and locked in and I was premature. My apologies to Cole and does this defense need him in the worst way.

Brady made a 180 yesterday and Josh got his head straight with the aggressive, quick strike, prolific passing game. I think teams will have to score 30 plus to beat us and even then , Josh will stick in their ear in the 4th quarter. NE will be a defining game for the division and we have a score to settle with them. I like our chances. Houston, Pitt can’t score enough, especially with Davis Mills and Rodger’s injured. I think Coleman will be better now that he’s on probation and if he’s not a good team guy, his career has a cloud over it and the agent will read him the riot act.

A no brainer, he should be a Bill instead of the receivers on this roster, Shakir and Kincaid being the only keepers.
