That’s how you know there is a huge disconnect with our offensive personnel acquisitions and how they are used. It’s possible I suppose that Brandon Beane is incapable of acquiring decent players that can fill niche roles. More likely, it’s that our dope of a coordinator can’t use them. Isaiah McKenzie was almost out of the league when the Bills grabbed him, and Daboll wrung every last drop of talent out of him, and got decent production. Dorsey took over and he’s now playing on a vet minimum again. There is not a single offensive player who Dorsey has made better.

There’s 100% no point to adding weapons that Dorsey will certainly not use. the only way I trade for a WR is if Dorsey promises he will see 20-30% of the targets of our offense or he’s fired.

Getting rid of a guy who kinda sucks isn’t a bad move if you replace him with a guy who kinda sucks. It’s just nothing.

No WRs who can get open + no OC who can scheme them open = bad day

Unfortunately I’m getting older. So is Josh and so is Diggs and so is Poyer and so is Hyde and so is Von.

It’s crazy how a good defensive coordinator can take unheralded players and get them to perform above their station. It’s also crazy how an offensive coordinator can’t do so.

Sherfield is not good. Has never been good. Are you his agent?

When you read posts like this, it begins to make sense how the Bills got away with a 17 year drought. Bills are probably the worst 4-2 team in the NFL and this guy is like “there’s too much pressure, they are just kids!” this isn’t the LLWS.

We replaced McKenzie as our gadget guy with Harty, a guy who had proven less at the NFL level, and paid him more.

Sherfield and Harty are nobodies. Kincaid is a rookie. Shakir is a second year rookie nobody. Diggs is the only receiver Allen trusts, and how can you blame him?

Expecting to not come to a goal line stand with no time left against one of the worst teams in football with a a backup QB is not too much pressure. If it’s too much pressure for our QB and WR making $70M, or for our coach with 6 years left on his deal, or our GM with 6 years left on his deal, then serious changes need to be made and I’m not talking about attitude adjustments. give me a break.

I did lmao. You are right too, though. The more Diggs-centric our offense gets, Josh actually starts to over-commit to him.

lets make history baby!

The original point of my post was that we needed an ADDITIONAL option. Which we haven't had. This year. Or last year.

Me neither, but the problem with putting all of those eggs in a rookie's basket, is that neither of us know that's gonna happen.

Are you intentionally being obtuse?

Depending on a dude like Harty would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

Right, it's not schemed for that player because that player doesn't exist on this roster. They didn't exist on the roster last year, either. Nothing like depending on a rookie to be a critical part of our offensive passing attack. Can't wait til next year when we are waiting for the next rookie to catch up that's trying to replace Gabe.

Bad luck? 50's ain't automatic.

This is how you waste a window lmao. It's like a reverse Sean Payton. Dude couldn't get his defense right and wasted a bunch of Prime Brees. We are gonna waste two years with Kenny in the booth.

On the contrary, we have a slot position player? Who is it?

This is the NFL in the year of our Lord 2023. You need a third dependable receiving option to make teams pay in the middle of the field to punish 2 high safeties. Not ground and pound. Of all the "contenders", we probably have the worst receiving options to take advantage in the middle and guess what, our offense looks the worst out of them all. He has to play the boundary because we don't have any other NFL quality boundary WR's. The answer could be, "get another boundary WR so Diggs can be free to move inside," but again, will Dorsey use him like that?

I know the game and the Bills performance was so bad, it's understandably what we all wanted to discuss. But I thought it was important to start a thread for Harris, who was unfortunately stretchered off and for any new updates as they come out on his condition. Hoping we hear good news shortly. "Buffalo Bills running back Damien Harris was placed on a stretcher and taken off the field in an ambulance after suffering a neck injury during Sunday night’s game against the New York Giants in Orchard Park, N.Y. Harris “has movement in his arms and legs,” the Bills announced soon after he left the stadium, adding that he was being taken to a hospital for further testing. Harris gave a thumbs-up with his left hand before being placed in the ambulance." https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2023/10/15/damien-harris-injury-update-bills/

Will you admit you miss Daboll now, just for me?

In all seriousness, we need a legitimate, intentionally-schemed, slot position player that can run option routes that Josh trusts. It is, by far, the biggest problem going with the offense currently. It was the biggest problem last year as well. We have ZERO players in that role. Part of that may be a lack of talent there. Part of may be an unwillingness of Dorsey's to use. With Diggs and Davis on the boundary, both as deep to intermediate route options, we need a guy running 8-12 yard routes with the freedom to cut up the seam, or curl in on the soft spots in the zone. This offense doesn't have it. They haven't had it since Cole Beasley lost his legs. And Josh desperately needs it.
