Bootleg plays are pretty safe it’s basically just you vs one edge rusher and the vast majority of the time you can easily get rid of the ball. Fitz knows this I don’t really understand the criticism on that play on particular. Looked like josh came out of the play action too shallow…should’ve just thrown the ball away

I just don't see any good trade options to improve our defense all that much. None of the DT ideas I've seen excite me at all. A true #1 caliber CB is unlikely to be traded. WLB is a non-premium position and can be papered over just fine. On defense the realistic path to substantial improvement is Rousseau, Miller, and Oliver recovering from their nagging injuries and becoming the best versions of themselves.
On offense on the other hand there is no realistic path to substantial improvement with the current personnel. Nobody is playing injured, we're kind of just stuck with the limitations we have on that side of the ball. Adding Hopkins or Henry creates an immediate and clear path to substantial improvement.
I could definitely see Henry…he’s hitting the point in his career where the titans might want to get something for him when he still has value and he could help solidify our offense which is gonna need to carry our defense.

I don’t really trust anyone in the NFC but it’s gotta be somebody lol I was hoping for the lions but the ravens straight up embarrassed them. 49ers are about to hit a pretty tough stretch of schedule I think they’re gonna falter a bit. Eagles haven’t looked super sharp either. AFC it’s hard to pick against KC.

The hot teams the 1st few months often go a little cold at the end.
I thought initially that this was the best team Beane had put together, and that it was our year. I'll stick w/ that in the AFC. On the NFC side, I thought Philly. That still seems like the best bet.
I’m keepin my fingers crossed one of Milano and/or Daquan jones can return and play decent for the playoffs. This was the best team beane has put together and we’d likely be 7-1 right now if one of von miller,Matt Milano,tre white, or Daquan jones was healthy which doesn’t seem like too much to ask for 😂.
I know every team has injuries but ours always seem to find the best players

I understand fully. But they are better than the giants, pats and TB. With poor tacking, dumb penalties and, conservative coaching any team worries me. Just being honest about how I feel right now
They aren’t as well coached as the pats and their head coach didn’t design our whole offense also to be fair lol. If the last three games taught me anything it’s that most coaches are stubborn idiots that won’t adapt from what they like to do for their current opponent. The giants and pats both sprinkled in a bunch of things that gave us trouble and Todd Bowles just completely abandoned it despite having more defensive talent than both lol
the giants defense is kind of underrated also in my opinion…they have some absolute beasts on the defensive line but you’d never know it because their offense hangs them out to dry nearly every game.. I don’t think they’re far off this years bengals squad talent wise on defense
tldr of this is division games are tough because of the familiarity, road division games are very tough, and the Brian Daboll giants essentially are a division game

Desperation could be a bad thing for a team just as often as it’s a good thing. There’s no reason to root for a team that is likely to be a potential wildcard competitor
I don’t think they are the elite squad they once were, defense has taken a step back and really that was the strength of the team in big games. Might be a fun shootout next week

Well, it’s not like Henry is not a good player
I just questioning the dynamic because we throw the ball so much
I think we’re having a big issue where when cook is on the field the pass blocking takes a huge hit. I’m pretty sure some of this shotgun draw business is to catch the defense off guard that dials up a delayed blitz to confuse cook in his pass blocking assignments. And it’s not like you can trot cook out there for running plays and Murray for passing plays because then you’re pretty much telegraphing what you’re trying to do presnap
Singletary was actually a pretty competent pass blocker but not that explosive in the running game. Derrick Henry is near top in the league in both so that would be a pretty big upgrade if he’s still got juice.
derrick Henry also can’t truck josh Norman if he’s on our team 😂 -

Burrow played bad last week and he was moving around just fine. He had two good drives and then basically took a nap for the rest of the game.
The burrow injury seems like mostly a baseless excuse to me this year from what I’ve seen. The games the bengals have looked bad the entire offense got absolutely dominated.

Mahomes will get MVP because he gets 2 PDI/PI calls per game to erase drive ending poor throws or picks. Allen doesn’t get that level of calls. Even Mayfield got two calls on his 2nd last drive. The one on Taron Johnson being BS and the face mask on Phillips being less egregious but borderline. Imagine if 1/2 of Allen’s 8 picks were erased due to phantom DPI/PI calls. That is what Mahomes enjoys every week. Allen is at best MVP 2, or 3. He will never be MVP 1.
That call on phillips was correct but it was so corny lol. If the bucs didn’t get that call I don’t think anyone would’ve complained. Light, inconsequential facemask debatably after the play should’ve been blown dead. If they were calling things that tight all game there would be a penalty every play
if our offensive line builds on the bucs game I think josh has a chance at mvp. The chiefs offense doesn’t look as sharp as it has in the past but their defense has stepped it up -

TNF must have really lowered the volume on the television broadcast because it felt the exact opposite watching it on TV. Very quiet.

I’m not the biggest McDermott fan, but it’s wild how if Jordan Phillips doesn’t grab Baker’s face mask for absolutely no reason, nobody is having this conversation following the game.
Im not saying it’s valid or not valid.. and the conservative decisions ultimately led to a point where if a mistake was made on a defensive series, you opened yourself up to this by constantly asking them to stand up .. but I struggle to go after McDermott for Thursdays game.
For all the credit we give the offense for looking better, maybe they shouldn’t have put McDermott in three straight no-man’s land 4th down decisions.
I’d be more critical of the coaching if that late TB td wasn’t both an obvious opi penalty and dumb luck lol. That drive realistically couldve taken a few more minutes and Tampa was getting dangerously close to having to onside kick down one score territory
45 minutes ago, Doc said:This. If Phillips doesn't go stupid and try to take Mayfield down instead of bear-hugging him until the whistle blows, it's a 24-10 win. And remember that this is a Thursday night game where teams don't have a lot of time to rest and prepare.
Phillips is a dummy but that play absolutely should’ve been blown dead. TB caught every break imaginable in this one

It seems many fans are under the impression that points scored in the first quarter count more than points scored in the fourth quarter. Over the course of 60 minutes, the offense was not meaningfully better than against the Patriots over the course of 60 minutes. Hence, 25 points vs 24 points.
But clearly the offense came out much better in this game than last week. In any case the offense is not the problem for the Bills. The problem is defense and critical situtional coaching.Just looking at total points is very flawed also as any team will get more conservative up two scores against a bad offense…the offense was objectively better against the bucs who are coincidentally a better defense than the pats as well.

So true...that int last night was so avoidable. I think if he can get his usual 45 total tds and limit his INT's to 15-16, he's got a shot at the mvp. He's almost #1 in qbr.
Gonna be tough for mahomes not to get it going against the broncos and chargers defenses 4 times

Poor situational coaching.A McDermott staple.
I am just baffled by this…Godwin was so clearly lost on that play for its entire duration to the point where he was facing the complete wrong direction when the ball was going by him and we’re trying to make it sound like we dodged a bullet? 😂.
why is ‘if he turned around’ even a thing lol who the heck is facing the wrong direction at the critical juncture of a Hail Mary. Obviously that effects how the defense is playing him too

I dont know man, I saw it different. Godwin has excellent hands and is a good wr. If he turns around half a second sooner I'd bet he catches that ball. It almost hit him.
But I agree there was opi and dpi all over the place I'm glad the refs finally let it just play out.
That didn’t touch on what I was saying at all though really. there’s no question he’s a capable receiver…he was just either out of position or everyone lost the football because baker threw it 60 yards deep but 100 yards up in the air since it was just at the edge of his range lol. out of every offensive player on the field it looked like only Mike evans had any idea where the football was.
so the ‘if he turned around’ to try to explain how close the play was makes no sense to me. If he wasn’t clearly completely lost spinning around in the end zone maybe he gets more defensive attention lol
that play was not even remotely close to being successful…he would not catch that ball in 1000 tries. It would’ve had to perfectly land in his randomly outstretched arms with him having no idea it was coming 😂-

former NFL WR Donte Stallworth claims the Bills D "executed the defense of the Hail Mary perfectly". But what the hell does he know?
It’s how every Hail Mary is defended…we were calling them stupid for not doing that on the hail Murray which wasn’t even a real Hail Mary 😂. The only way they’re calling a pi is if the ball is right on a receiver that’s getting held and the receiver can’t jump up to high point it due to the holding.
it’s a play with a lot of receivers just standing around and you’re supposedly not allowed to box them out or impede the receivers moving around in the end zone?

Almost half of these games were against garbage divisional teams, sure you have to win these games but with Allen you should win them.
4 of our last 6 losses have been divisional games and we are 18-6(.750 win percentage) in that time. It’s just a weird time to make that claim because most of our struggles have been divisional games recently and we are doing very well in the vast majority of non divisional games including a 2 game win streak against the chiefs at arrowhead

These threads are absolutely KILLING me lately. I really think most of y'all have an opinion made up in your head about McD and everything he does or doesn't do just reaffirms that. Y'all can't even enjoy a win where we were clearly the better team. The NFL is a game of margins. If the Jordan Phillips sack is rightfully blown dead two seconds before his facemask none of this is even a discussion. This is ridiculous lol.
I'm pretty sure most of you forget how much McD has grown since he's been the coach of the Bills. All of the numbers show how he's grown into an analytically-driven, semi-aggressive head coach. I'm also pretty sure he would be the first person to mention how he needs to continue to grow.
I'm grateful he's our coach. I still think he's the right guy to get us to where we want to go.
That does seem like the deal to me…after the pats/giants games the posts were certainly understandable but the bucs game was a big step in the right direction and we’re still getting those same sort of posts like we made zero improvements.
it’s fine to think we won’t hang in the tougher part of our schedule I have no issue with that, but there was clear progress last night. The TB defense is no slouch by any means

We have been fortunate to play is a garbage division for a long time, I would like to see the scores against teams with winning record. I would bet that it would show a different picture. Have we has some good wins? Absolutely but also have not shown to rise to the level of elite teams that are suppose to be on par with us, when we play elite teams in moments that matter this team wilts.
Seems like most of the struggles are coming in division games lately tbh lol we lost 3 total games last season and 66.6% were divisional

Oh I don't disagree... But saying those players i named and saying "inheriting a very talented defense" is absolutely hilarious.
He can be criticized 100% and he should be. I don't think it's his coaching, i think its his staff management, for the most part.
Yep I was agreeing with you haha just wanted the other side to know this isn’t a just blind love fest either which seems to be the criticism you get whenever you mention a positive thing related to this team

You have to be joking, right?
Zoe had his best years under McDermott, Poyer was a no body on the Browns, Adolphis Washington, Ramon Humber, Preston Brown, EJ Gaines.... Jerry Hughes had his best years under McDermott..
a "Very talented defense" is absolutely laughable.
There’s just so much hyperbole at work on these boards haha like you can be critical of McDermott and still admit he has done a good job developing defensive players.
the guy has gotten a ton out of pretty low ceiling talent type guys. Doesn’t mean he’s a genius that’s beyond criticism though by any means

There’s no way mcdermott is ahead of anybody who’s won a super bowl. He’s in the Ron Rivera boat but Rivera probably higher because he’s been to a super bowl.
I think it’s a little bit more complicated than that lol. If Ron Rivera is such a good, Super Bowl caliber coach he’d be turning that commanders team around. Some head coaches absolutely get carried to a Super Bowl and it’s been much more likely in the NFC than the AFC lately

You’ve watched a Jets team with Zach Wilson beat the 100% healthy Bills by chipping away all game.
You’ve watched the 1-5 Giants come within 1-yard from winning.
You saw a 1-5 Patriots team drive the length of the field in 1:20 for the GW drive.
You see a 3-3 Bucs team have a Hail Mary land inside the end zone with a chance to walk off on the last play of the game.
And the conclusion is that will never happen again?
Not to put words in anyone’s mouth but that did not appear to be the posters point at all. The ‘comeback’ last night was fueled by objectively flukey plays which is what they were referencing. The ball is not going to bounce only the opponents way at every possible opportunity seemed to be what the gist was, and despite that happening the closest they came was a very very low percentage desperation play which is how a lot of games end that one team is controlling.
the giants and pats games were absolutely terrible, but last night was clearly a better effort without question.

2023 MVP: Lamar will win it with 15 fewer TDs than Josh Allen (end of season talk pg 75+)

I wish I could visit the alternate reality where mahomes and Allen switched teams just to see what the results would be lol comparing guys on two different teams is pretty much impossible. Mahomes looks just as bad when his offensive line isn’t playing well, that’s just a less frequent occurrence in kc. Some of it is on josh not throwing it hot at times but you could definitely say the same for mahomes.
In the old days where guys weren’t getting much separation and the offensive line wasn’t playing well josh would have an epically horrible game and it was undoubtedly clear he was a tier below mahomes. Now it’s a little murkier
