The problem with the Bills is I can see them winning the next five, but can easily see them losing all of them as well. There's no way we can have confidence or expectation in them, considering this is a team which lost to the Jets without Rodgers, Pats and Broncos.

Maybe he could help with both sides of the ball. 😆

Would any OC of calibre leave their current position right now, considering their franchise be in a play off fight? Best the Bills could do is perhaps promote Shula for the interim period and then... Holcomb to DC?

I'd be careful with saying they've found something with Brady. I hope you're right but remember Dorsey's first two games in charge? They put up 31 over the reigning Super Bowl champions and 41 against the Titans. It's early days and will be interesting to see what happens when DCs have had a chance to study the tape. Fingers crossed Brady can adjust better than his predecessor.

I don't think Beane complete trades and runs drafts on his own? There will be input by others, in particular McDermott. The Bills have a defensive head coach and have predominantly focused on defense throughout his time here. A new coach would work with Beane on a new philosophy. I think the Bills can do much better than McDermott. I'm not sure if they can do much better than Beane.

The current storyline is Stroud. Maybe “poster boy” is the wrong term for him. I agree with those who are saying it isn’t logical for the NFL to fix the game against the Bills. But the calls were ridiculously biased against them.

Stroud is the current poster boy, not Josh. Josh is seen as a glorified turnover machine. And Kelce v Kelce in the Super Bowl with Swift in attendance must be a dream. Shame the 49ers keep blowing out teams at the moment…

And the Eagles offense was error free all night? The defense was put in a position to win the game three times, and screwed every one.

The defense was gassed? They were only on the field for 23 minutes! The offense was in possession for over 40.

I prefer Brady at OC over Daboll after two games. But then think I thought the same about Dorsey at this stage.

Sean McDermott is the Bills’ biggest problem: https://atozsports.com/buffalo/sean-mcdermott-is-hurting-the-bills/

I assume Smiley will be fired tomorrow as McDermott makes another move to try and save his own skin?

The worse thing is it still gives us a smidgen of hope. If Josh continues in the vein of the last two weeks the Bills COULD win out. But then this defense against the Chiefs, Cowboys and Dolphins (providing they’re not resting starters)? Even the Chargers might be a challenge.

I don’t think the Bills would do better than Beane. Keep him here, cut McDermott and allow Beane to run the search for the next HC rather than Pegula.

True. Could have been trying something different to fix the defense but I might be grasping at straws. I should also try and get some sleep. Bloody Bills.

Not sure we’ll never know. Cover 2 might be able to make an educated guess.

I deleted my post as I’m not sure if I fully blame Josh for it. There was a feeling of “here we go again” but it was basically with Diggs. Bradberry cut across at the last second. It was a gutwrencher either way.

At this rate, we may not be able to tell - the Bills might be in a position to tank. It is true that Dorsey started hot last year. And, Jets aside - which wasn’t really on his play calling - the offense started hot this year too.

Why are you blaming Josh and not Diggs for the INT when it was in the latter’s hands?

Jets, Broncos and Pats. How, just HOW, are the Bills 1-3 against those teams? And it could be worse - the officials were, for once, on their side against the Giants. Otherwise…

Haven’t you been reading their posts? They want CJ Stroud.

It was typical the Bills faced Bengals at the fittest they’ve been all year. But, at the start of the season, I expected defeats to the Rodgers-led Jets at Met Life, the Jags, the Bengals and the Eagles for them to be 8-4 now. If they were struggling, perhaps the Dolphins could have done a number, which would mean 7-5. But the defeats to the Pats and the Broncos… that’s what’s killed the season. Not tonight.

The season is over. The worst thing is the offense has woken up. Play Rodgers-less Jets, Pats and Broncos now, and the Bills win all three. They’d be 9-3. But it’s too late. The call to ditch Dorsey came too late.

That IS Billsy.

No, because after the bye we'll still be going "If we can just win out..." A defeat by the Chiefs after a defeat tonight would put us out of our misery.
