Chaos

Knox had that problem in prior seasons and until last week, seemed to have solved the problem. It may take on-field experience to improve this aspect of receiving.

Are we still "trusting the process"?

Defense recently gave up 41. I don’t feel sorry for the defense.

As long as we can pretend that all the bills losses are flukes related to Mother Nature and other things out of the Bills control , we can also pretend the Bills are virtually undefeated and have a virtual glide path to a super bowl championship.

Jonathan Taylor and Carson Wentz hung 41 on the Bills. Fournette and Brady will be an even bigger challenge for the defense. This is d-day for the defense.

In all four of the other losses, I think the other coaches are simply better head coaches. Over time given equal rosters I think all four of those coaches win the majority of games vs. Coach McDermott (not all of them, but the majority). Meyer is truly inexperienced at the NFL level (and not at all impressive as a rookie) Morse was all-pro level when signed by the Bills. Wayne Teller excelled after leaving the Bills. Is it possible it is more oline coaching than talent?

I don't see any utility in firing Mcdermott. This is his fifth season as HC, so Inexperienced is a bit odd to say. I do want McDermott to get better. Real question? What areas has he improved in in the last three years. Part of me thinks that we have reached the point that "what we see is what we have".

5 any given Sundays is statistically unlikely. Players and coaches win and use games. The players and coaches who are better than the other players and coaches win more games than the other players any coaches. Denying this reality is laughable.

I don't want to get rid of McDermott. I want him to get better. Real question. Is McDermott getting better? What does he do better now than two seasons ago: 1) Coaching staff selection? 2)Game plan? 3) Game prep? 4)Player evaluation? 5) General game management? 6) Clock management?

Its a poll. If the players on the other team out execute the players on the Bills team, that means they are better. Pick the better players option. You are entitled to the opinion it is more on the players than the coaches. 5 losses don't happen randomly.

Drinking and watching the Bonnies game.

Before the season I felt like the Bills had a top 5 QB, a top 5 coach, and a top 10 roster. I thought it was a formula for a SB trip. My assessment now is the the Bill have a top 5 QB, the 10th best coach and NFL average rest of roster. Not sure that is a formula for a SB run.

Its almost like you watched the game and TV and want to pretend the wind wasn't a factor.

I am still bitter about this five days later

Maybe it is semantics but the team with the better roster for the matchup has the better roster as it relates to that game.

Poor preparation.

Last I looked, OL/DL and Rb are all players. So you are saying the other teams roster was stronger overall than our roster.

Already did without your permission. Its is perfectly logical to asses the average talent level of two teams rosters vs each other.

What is silly? That the team who wins outplayed the other team?

Games are made up of players and coaches. I supposed 50/50 is a option. If you lose its pretty simple, you got outplayed or outcoached. It is often a combination. The poll is asking which is the bigger issue. It seems some people want an option along the lines of "we outcoached and outplayed the other teams, but we lost anyway"

chalking that one up to "any given Sunday."

So you are saying the other players are better because Josh has not been good enough. I don't know how I could more clearly state in the OP, my opinion that coaching is the problem.

It seems like players that can't execute might not be good players.

Every football game has a unique set of circumstances. Reasons for winning and losing can certainly vary. But over time there are certain trends one might notice. In four of the five Bills losses this season, I think the Bills were clearly outcoached. There is not a single loss I blame on the other team having better players. Of course this is an opinion. I am curious as to other peoples opinions.

Bills have to win. I can’t imagine the Patriots and Brady parting ways with the end result beating the Bills back to back.
