You described it well. I will try to elaborate in more detail. McD is a very good defensive coach. His schemes are effective in many ways. They will often beat inferior teams. He can scheme well vs limited QB passers like Matt Jones, Lamar, and Tua. However, the likes of Burrow and Mahomes are a different animal. His scheme will almost always fall short. To be fair, they are almost unstoppable for any team. Come playoff time I have little confidence a McD led D will be good enough to represent the AFC. Offensively, the Bills have no identity. Under Daboll they were a quick strike explosive offense. Not anymore. The run game is sporadic. Cook isn't the answer sorry. He's just a decent RB that you can find on any teams roster. Besides Diggs the pass catchers aren't very good, decent, average, poor, or under utilized. Coaching, play calling, schemes, etc...are problematic. Just look at their 12 personnel sets. Look at how they are using Knox and Kincaid. Still can't complete a screen pass to save their life. Add in Allen doesn't run anymore. No need for a spy anymore. The offense is not dynamic, not creative, not explosive. People will point to the stats but don't buy into that. Allen will put up numbers because he's excellent. Today is a perfect example of that. I redirect you to the highly rated Bills defenses the last few years under Fraizer. I believe they were ranked 1 and or 2. Come playoff time those defenses got throttled. Stats are deceiving. I'd argue the same goes with this Bills offense. Let's dig a little deeper: Jets D (excellent)- Terrible Allen Raiders D (terrible) - Bills O looks good Commanders D (not good) - Bills O looks good Fins D (not good) Awesome Offense. Jags D (average at best) Bills O poor This team has only played one good defense and they flopped. The Bills offense needs an identity. They need to get other going in the offense besides Diggs. They need Allen to start running. RPOs please. More motion, play action passes, and screens. More Murray and Harris less Cook. Get Kincaid downfield.

I said they have weapons, speed, creativity, and explosiveness galore. Unlike the Bills offense. The Bills had a great game plan and executed to perfection. I gave all the props to the team and coaches.

I've been skeptical. However, after last week's game I was starting to believe in the coaching. They put on a clinic in every way possible. I said this before I read your post. I've been skeptical.

Partly true here but not the whole picture. Let me try to clarify. Ridley was killing the Bills all game. I'm not coach but as a fan I know you have to take away their best player. I just wouldn't have let Ridley beat me. I think a New England coach would agree. Now what play or scheme that is I don't know. I can say no matter the play it seemed unlikely the Bills were gonna stop the Jags. It was just that kinda day. Regards to Miller. That's a head scratcher to activate Miller so he could play 5 plays. That's beyond being limited as you said. No one was advocating the Bills take unnecessary risks with Von. No one implied this either. It's simple you don't activate a player to play 5 plays. If Von didn't feel right or something like that then I get it. There are no reports of this being the case. Agree that the Bills didn't execute. As a fan I just can't get a grip on this offense. Something just seems off. I watch the 49ers, Lions, and Dolphins play and say to myself now there are offenses. Offenses with half the QB the Bills have. Besides Diggs the Bills have no one reliable. The league didn't do any favors having the Jags on a back to back in London. However, that's only half the story. The Bills travel schedule was a huge mistake. That's not on the league. The Bills were sleep walking through much of the game. Allen a day or two before talked about how tired he was. McD when asked implied it didn't work. Bottom line is the Bills weren't ready to play. A pretty common theme for at least a game or two under the McD era. Bad game will happen but being unprepared and not ready to play is unacceptable. That's not on the league. It's on the coaching staff and players. The Bills played two of them last year. We all know what happened. Question: Why does Zac Moss look so good now not in a Bills uniform?

There were so many questionable decisions starting with travel to game time moves

Can't even agree with this. So true.

Rivers and Chargers looks to be a fair analogy.

Was hoping for more specifics.

I was being sarcastic. He is a solid poster.

Are you okay? Stop embarrassing yourself.

Frankly, I doubt there are many significant deals to be made at this point. I'd like to hear some plausible ones.

Everyone's watch and see is different. Everyone's emotional commitment is different. There's no wrong or right answer here. Just classless to tell a fan to find a new hobby. A little empathy goes a long way

It's does when you lose Milano and Jones.

Are you a troll?

IMHO, good enough to beat poor to good teams. Not good enough to advance far in the playoffs vs very good teams. I guess we will see in a few months.

I just did Aimee

Frankly, many of your takes today have been reached in my opinion. No disrespect. I'm watching them too.

That's BS! I gave the Bills and the coaching staff much praise after the last game vs the Fins. Stop gaslighting me!

I've seen them. I have the NFL ticket. The eagles are just far better than the Bills in almost every category. There secondary is porous. Allen would have to be Superman to stay in the game. The Bills D won't stop the Eagle offense. Especially a beaten up second string defense. Eagles 38 Bills 24 Not even close...Frankly who cares. This discussion is fruitless. Let's move on.

I'm one frustrated Bills fan!!! I just don't get the troll references. Disagree all you want but a troll is the furthest from the truth! Yes they are much better than the Bills. They would be a terrible match up for the Bills.

100% accurate here.

Yes. Philly would smash the Bills.

Really dude? Philly went to the SB last year. They haven't lost a game and aren't hitting their stride yet. They have a dynamic offense and coaching staff. One of the best olines in the league with a dynamic WR combo. What are you smoking?

That's not saying much.

It wasn't good enough. The offense struggled the whole game including Allen. Out of sync, no real momentum, and not dynamic or explosive. Most of those stats were near the end of the game where it was too little two late. Those two long plays to Diggs should have been TDs if Allen was more accurate. Diggs was wide wide wide open. Elite QBs have to convert those passes into TDs. I don't know how you could think Allen played well after watching this game? Don't get me wrong, the whole offense sucked and it's not just on Allen. However, people here want to talk about Allen carrying the team. He certainly didn't do that today.
