That was annoying. The Maye run wasn’t even close. Clock never should have stopped. They probably saved a few seconds and/or a timeout. I went back and self-timed the Stevenson run at the end of the half. He still probably slides with :02 seconds on the clock but again they might not have a timeout.

The frustrating thing about the WR room is that many of us saw this coming and wanted them to draft a WR high in the draft, and then another one mid-round. I think that Beane was overly optimistic that Coleman would be a force for them, thar Samuel could improve, and that Palmer would give them something they were lacking. Sadly none of these three scenarios panned out. The biggest problem on this roster is WR and they are holding back the offense led by an elite QB

I listened and it was pretty much a takedown. I think he was overly harsh and I’ll explain why. First he said that the two turnovers last week were “flukey.” I’d disagree on the Benford pick 6. That was a great play. The tipped INT? Maybe - but can’t you say the same thing about Houston’s INT to seal the win against Kansas City. Who was calling that a “flukey” He also said that Buffalo hasn’t had the talent and it’s been the same case for a few years. Yet, Buffalo has finished as the #2 seed both years and was a few plays away from going to the Super Bowl last year. How do you explain that? Is McDermott a better coach than we give him credit for!?!?!? So, I’m feeling that his comments were a bit harsh. Not sure why. He does a segment every Friday on One Bills Live and he’s never that down on the team

LOL…Khalir

It’s all because of the JaMarcus Ingram situation. Tim Graham described McDermott as “seething” about it. I just can’t see a way that Beane releases Ingram for Clay without McDermott signing off on it.

5th year option is a no-brainer. What Beane tends to do is to re-sign players they like after 3 seasons before the 5th year kicks in. I think they like Kincaid but I wouldn’t re-sign him to an extension until he can show he stay healthy.

People want to trash McDermott and blame him for everything but he’s done a very good coaching job this season. I feel that internally they expected the defense to struggle with younger players needing to contribute. What they didn’t factor in was veterans like Rapp and Bernard struggling as bad as they did and the numerous injuries on the DL. We all know what the biggest problem. It’s the lack of talent at WR to stretch the field vertically. That’s not as much of a McDermott problem as much as it Beane and Brady. Not really… Watch the AFCCG last season.

This idea is horrendous JMD is a terrible terrible no good awful head coach at both stops he’s ever been in.

Shaq does one thing well - he sets the edge. The Bills opponents running game is disgusting. One of the worst in the NFL. I think Shaq can help on those outside runs where the Bills are getting gashed. Sadly he won’t offer them much in pass rush - another big area where they are struggling

This thread is drunk…go home

This is true. Everyone knew Josh couldn’t hold the ball today like he did last week. Houston is too fast. Probably half of the sacks tonight were because of him holding the football. Not sure if it was because no one was open or because he was trying to scramble but he didn’t play well

Houston had a net of 35 yards in the second half. They scored 3 points after Shakir fumbled deep inside Bills territory. The defense was not to blame tonight just as they were not to blame in the other L’s

This is not true

To be honest, I hate how these games make me feel and how we amplified something something (relatively) insignificant that’s supposed to entertainment into something that negatively affects our mood.

Yeah I don’t think Joe Brady did them many favors tonight. But there were times Josh had to make better decisions. But on the list of blame, he’s probably at the very bottom

I think that’s why he was holding onto the ball. You can’t do that with Houston’s pass rush but there was no where to go wit the ball

100% yes. The problem like someone said is that there’s not really another play caller on the staff. Who’s gonna call plays? Aaron Kromer or Rob Boras? But every games they’ve lost has been on the offense

To be honest, Buffalo is playing a second string QB. They really should take care of business. I know Houston has a good defense and some good skill players but there are no excuses

Of course, no Chase against NE next week

It starts up front. You have players who don’t hold their gaps and keep the second level defenders clean. Aside from Jones, the other DT’s struggle with this. As much as Walker has flashed at times he’s shown some bad reps in run defense. On the second level you have defenders who miss tackles - or who can’t get off block namely Bernard but also Williams, Milano, Poyer, Johnson and the CB’s all have fallen victim to this as well. I don’t think they have the true run stuffer they need and it’s seems like it’s a philosophical thing because they value pass rush over run stuffing I want to see them sign Kaleb Saunders and rotate him with Jones

I think Denver wins the West but Is still see KC winning at arrowhead. If they can beat Indy, I see them with a good chance to run the table

Could but I think Stroud returns on Thursday.

7 targets 2 catches 21 yards i think Gabe gets the call up and out performs him

Someone from the media should ask him about Daboll. McDermott’s response will be telling. He could say, “no, Joe Brady is our OC and I trust that he’ll get things figured out.” Or he could say “I don’t really want to get into that right now” or “no I haven’t thought about that yet.” if he says something closer to the latter I think there’s a chance Daboll returns. Hopefully someone words their question intentionally

It’s not the OL. Josh is not getting rid of the football - likely because his receivers aren’t open and when they are he doesn’t trust them. Josh was pressured 17 times yesterday. His average time to throw was as high as it’s been since 2018. He’s either not seeing answers or he doesn’t have answers
