I'd like to add some thoughts to this thread.
1. Josh had a few throws that were off and the one INT was a dumb decision. But despite his bad play he was still one of the three best performing players on O last night. There were drive killing drops being spread all around from Davis, to Kincaid and even Diggs.
2. My thought is players perform better when they are enjoying the game but it sure seems like they are not and that goes back to coaching in my eyes. McD has lost this locker room and the fan base.
3. While the D performed admirably I still thought the playcalling was garbage on that side of the ball. It seemed like we were blitzing on nearly 50% of snaps and got zero sacks from blitz until the last drive. And when we finally did get that sack to put them out of field goal range, we did a cover 0 blitz again the very next play. Like why??
4. The bills have an over pursuing problem on defense. Our edge rushers were blowing past Wilson by like 5 yards on every damn play. I don't see other teams edge rushers do this as much as the Billls do. Just seems weird.
5. Benching cook for nearly a quarter of play is a complete D-bag move by McD especially when nobody else was equally punished for poor execution. His fumble was more of a good play by the defender than an egregious mishandling of the ball.
6. Many will say "why are calling for the firing of the coaching staff when Allen deserves his share of blame as well. Answer: we have seen Allen at his peak and when he is in that space, he is no question the best QB in the league. Unfortunately we haven't really seen much of that Allen since Dabol left. When was the last time we've seen Dorsey or McD calling plays and said "wow, this might be the greatest coach we've ever seen"? This staff has somehow broken Allen.
7. After the benching of Cook in the first half and the slow downward trajectory of Allen, I got back to thinking about Kaiir Elam. The guy they traded up for in the first round in 2022 and arguably played pretty good in the snaps he played last season is somehow now such a liability to this defense that he had to be placed on IR this season. Something about this coaching staff seems to shatter peoples confidence to me because I refuse to believe Elam could have regressed that much for a reason other than poor coaching.
8. Fire McDermott.
9. Fire Dorsey.
