Who is playing QB for the Raiders? Sounds like it’s going to be Hoyer, or rather the rotting corpse of Brian Hoyer. The Raiders offense is a hot mess. I cannot see them hanging with KC in any way.

Perhaps Roger’s will convince the Jets ownership to hire Hackett as HC after they fire Saleh. That would be perfect.

Well, that was bound to happen eventually.

I think he is fine in that role. He is simply over his head with respect to the role of a head coach.

Saleh needs to be fired. He is simply awful.

Or maybe he is just an arrogant POS who does not want to get his nose dirty.

He was referring to when Davis was the third outside WR, not to yesterday’s performance.

As long as one of them is against Miami.

If I were Josh, I would be asking Saleh “Hey Bob, who is embarrassing who now, you *****”. But hey, that’s just me.

I think that is the best game the Bills have played, as a team, all year. Tough, emotional, and focused. Very encouraging.

Outstanding start to this game.

I like your scenario. However, I would not give up on the AFCE quite yet. I know people will think I am delusional, but Miami is likely to lose at least 2 more if not 3 more before that game. Remember, if Buffalo wins both games against Miami they only need to tie in record. Of course, this scenario requires that the Bills accomplish a very heavy lift in the meantime, and the way they have been playing, that would seem unlikely. Getting their collective head out of their arse against the Jets would be a good start, but if they win the next two they are capable of a run. I think they need to go 5-1 prior to the last game to have a shot at it.

All you need to say is “Ben Volin says” and you know the rest. Nice job here, but there has never been any reason to take this guy seriously about anything.

I have not been on the McDermott is the problem train like many posters here have been, and in fact I have always argued back at this, but that train is beginning to leave the station in my mind. This article by Sharp is outstanding, well reasoned and backed up with facts. It is the best written explanation of what may be the crux of the problem I have read certainly. Definitely food for thought as the mistakes and failures by players and coaches pile up week after week. That said, I definitely think Dorsey was part of the problem. Whether it is partly or mostly due to McDermott’s direction is a valid question, as is the role of McDermott in Josh’s erratic performance. I know if I do not see some evidence that this team has not quit on the season and by extension the HC by the end of the year (hopefully very soon) the train will be all the way out of the station for me. Thanks for posting, really. I had already read it and would have posted if you had not already done so.

When people start their posts with throwing out terms like “apologists” and “fan boys” you can be pretty sure what follows will be ignorant and you do not disappoint.

So if someone does not agree with your “assessment” they are a coward? Thanks for letting us know. What revelation.

The Dolphins and McDaniel exposed again. They are great front runners against bad teams.

I am not sure why I tried. Just putting him on ignore and moving on.

I understand your point, but you are just wrong when it comes to the Bengals. They have an MO of whining and searching for extra motivation by hanging on to dumb stuff, and just making stuff up as in the case currently being debated. Their coach encourages it. He was behind the whole "we are being dissed because the Bills are selling Championship tickets" BS last year. This is not fans being sensitive despite your arrogant comments. In the case of the Bengals, it's a real thing. They are whiney *****, led by a whiney B word. Sorry, but its true. You will never see the Bills doing this, because they have real leaders.

The Bengals are a bunch of whiney *****. I absolutely hate that team.

As per usual, Bills fans undervalue their players.

It should also be said thatJones was performing at an elite level when he was hurt. That was a massive loss and no depth piece was going to fill that void. It is unfortunate that Ford or Settle have not been able to be more stout at the point of attack, but I seriously doubt that problem can be even partially solved with FA at this point in the year.

There are at least a dozen regular posters here who I would not be surprised to learn made that call.

It is clear to me that boneheaded mistakes are what have contributed in a major way to this discrepancy and go along way in explaining why results have been so mediocre. They have consistently shot themselves in the foot at critical times. The offense has been worse in this regard, starting with Allen, but we saw on Defense against the Pats what effect downgraded talent and lack of experience can have in the execution on that side of the ball as well. The coaches certainly need to figure this out but it has to start with the players taking ownership for executing their assignments. The coaches cannot do it for them.

And the Bills are number 2 in red zone scoring offense. seems like a good matchup. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/red-zone-scoring-pct
