The Bills running game is in inconsistent. Dorsey often abandons the run too. Your premise isn't correct either. Teams don't have to send a safety in the box to stop the run. Often that's a tactic but not a given or an absolute as your state. You make a lot of assumptions that just aren't facts. Teams can absolutely double Diggs. We've seen it almost every playoff game. Why you think Diggs disappears in the playoffs? Hint, it's not because he sucks. Who would you make you beat you if you were a D coordinator. The Bills run game or Diggs?

Get it done Beane. Lenny scores TDs.

Well said Scott.

Now, BB doesn't have to put a spy on Allen because he's not a great to run. That extra player will be used to double Diggs. You can bank on it. Diggs is about 40% of the Bills offense.

BB will take Diggs out of the game. He won't let him beat him. Did Josh hurt his shoulder on a run play?

Oh it's worth debating and talking about. I mean it's obvious that the Bills haven't called any RPOs. I think you can count on one hand how many RPOs have been called in six games. Thus, I think it's reasonable to conclude the Bills have shifted their desire to have Allen run. Also, we have years of samples where Allen is a willing runner. To imply Allen doesn't want to run just seems off to me. Of course Allen doesn't want to commit turnovers and take unnecessary hits. But to imply this is a major reason why he's not running seems off too. It's just not who Allen is. I think it's plausible and realistic think the Bills organization has emphatically limited Allen's ability to run. I have a difficult time thinking it's Allen who doesn't want to run. Thus, he absolutely is being cut off at the knees. In essence, Allen has became more one dimensional which isn't a good thing. In short, you may be correct. It's not worth debating because what you are suggesting is borderline ludicrous. Payton wasn't the only option the Bills had. It's one year too late...I doubt McD is leading this team to the AFC championship game.

Flawed logic here. Allen has shown the ability to take a hit. Yes he does need to not take unnecessary hits. I believe that he can and should be more prudent. That doesn't mean you cut him off at the knees. Let Josh cook. You just don't take away a player's major asset and skill set. That's a recipe to lose not win. You play assertively not passively. Goes back to this coaching staff doesn't utilize its players best asset nor to the best of their ability. Cook last year and Kincaid and others this year. Following your logic, Allen shouldn't pass the ball. Why? That's the most logical and statistically proven way Allen is going to get hurt. Maybe it's best he just hands off the ball.

McD should be held accountable. 13 seconds and the Cinci thrashing is a great start. Those are no small hiccups. Go back further and you will see blown chances vs the Texans and Jags. Take closer look and you will see they were inches from losing to a Philips Rivers led Colts team. Take a closer look and you will see ample times where he's been out coached by a large margin. He's 4-5 in the playoffs as the Bills coach. That's a whooping 44% win percentage. I guess people will continue to refuse to look at the facts. Continue to give him the benefit of the doubt. Continue to make excuses. Continue to wait for a different results. I've waited long enough. I don't see a McD magic wand that suddenly gets the team over the top. Do you? It's very evident that change is needed. We will disagree to disagree.

Charger time!

Happens every week multiple times. Look at last night's game.

We got a game. Big game for both teams.

Terrible PI call on Gilmore!

Not really. They have Eckler and Allen in offense. On defense, Bosa and Mack are overrated. Their secondary and LBs aren't that good.

Reminds me of an up and coming Bills team when they were in their decade long drought. You just knew the Bills woukd find a way to lose.

Come on refs let them play.

Setting up to be a good finish.

No big deal. Lol

I get that and it comes with validity. However, others past don't really equate to what McD can, can't, and will do. It's all pure speculation with differing variables. Some important factors to consider. McD has Josh Allen in his prime. He arguably the top three QBs in the game. The other too QBs are Mahomes and Burrow. Low and behold they both have made SB appearances and one has multiple rings. Meanwhile, Allen has watched them at home while his current coach gives away games, had his team flat and unprepared. Losing is one thing giving games away, being out coached, not being prepared, etc...is just flat out unacceptable. The saving grace that really makes things less transparent is his regular season records. It's basically second to none and very impressive. Hard to let such a good thing go. However, sometimes it's prudent to move on to achieve a higher goal. Not an easy decision at all with McD. I'd say most fans are satisfied with his success even if his failures in the playoffs are obvious. In effect, he gets a free pass or at least the benefit of the doubt. A redo to get things right. It's much easier to stay the course here. I'd much prefer the Bills go in a different direction. I think the McD reign has played it's course. A great ride but it's time to trade in the reliable Camry for the innovative Tesla. Sure it's track record is more unknown then the Camry. I'd also note that Philly made a big move hiring a young innovative coach that paid huge dividends immediately. If nothing else it shows it can be done. This season looks quite a bit like the others. The Bills are a top 5 team in the AFC will a likelihood of making the playoffs. A likelihood of another disappointing playoff exit due to several variables which includes coaching and scheme. Lastly, I'd like to point out the change of regimes shouldn't be discouraged ir not considered. As long as Allen remains on the team a new coach basically just has to ride that horse. However, all horse bettors know the importance of a good to great jockey. Sometimes a jockey change is exactly what the horse needs. I'd say this analogy is 109% applicable here.

That's more than fair. I am hoping that's the case and I'm dead wrong. Your point is more than valid.

Partly true and blatantly false at the same time. Carry on with your personal attacks they don't faze me. Correction my Bills win and I dropped to me knees in happiness. It was a heart stopper.

Do you second guess anything? Did you like that shotgun run on 3rd and 1 from the 1 yard line? Come on now let's get realistic. Most fans think they are smarter than they are. That includes me. It's easy to second guess after the fact. However, some things are just unacceptable mistakes or decisions. Refer to 13 seconds as a reference. It's ok to criticize I think...

No he's been playing lights out. To be honest, I did think he sucked prior to the season. He showed absolutely nothing. He's been the surprise of the season for the Bills. I'm happy to be wrong here but I wasn't alone in my thoughts process here.

I can't imagine the players seeing that ambulance and not suffering PTSD.

I mean don't you think this should be discussed? Or should we just ignore it or treat it as no big deal? Not trying to stir up any but a conversation about what happened. Looks like the Bills caught a huge break one that could have changed the outcome of the game. No one is more happier about the none call than I.

You really have to distinguish the difference between regular season and post season. McD has been an excellent regular season winner. I'd be a fool to argue otherwise. Heck, he has even gone into Arrowhead with good recent success. My contention with McD is more post season success. Think Marty S if you well as a reference. I'm not going to go into detail here. It would be like beating a dead horse. The record speaks for himself and you should trust your eyes here. Playoff McD is mediocre, often out coached, and his team has vastly under performed. In short if you value great regular season records and playoff births then McD is your guy. No need for a change here. If you value playoff success, high win rates, deep progression in the playoffs, and a team representing the AFC McD shouldn't be your guy. He's proven for six years that he can't get it done. Just the facts here. The last two years have been collosal failures that fail directly on him. Hope that clarifies my viewpoint.
