Spoilt-childsy is the term Nobody has a right to win. That's why glory is so wonderful.

Easy to criticises McBeane for failure with Elam as a first pick, for sure. But not one person here saw what they saw in our third pick of the very same draft. Nobody can see the future with certainty. You win some, you lose some.

Von looked to have a few bull rushes that looked more effective than anything we've seen from him this year. I don't think he's finished quite yet.

Only managed to see the highlights. Nice to see such a varied offence, and a free looking Josh. D was a bit of a worry - tackling in particular. Boy we miss Milano. But anyone who has real SB expectations might as well be expecting it to rain blueberries.

I feel that Josh is being asked to think too much. I have no proof for that. But it just strikes me as possbile. Some players in any sport play with feel, and some play with brains. Josh looks like one of the best when he's feeling the game and playing instinctively.You could see it y/day when he needed to score two quick TDs on the bounce - no problem. But it feels like he's being asked to be more rational, more processed, more a tool of the OC's ego, and it doesn't suit him. Daboll truly understood Josh and how to get the best of him - Daboll knew how to make Josh look good. I feel with Dorsey that it's more about Josh working to make HIM look good. He's turning an inspired unpredictable and - without wanting to go too far - genius-type player into a fairly dull and predictable QB. We're not even really using his arm, let alone his smarts on the run. It's a really bad match, it seems. Dorsey might even be a good OC. Just not here. Or, at least, not now.

Need to score two touchdowns in rapid time? No problem. Need to score a touchdown with all the time in the world? Sorry - that's going to be an issue.

Poyer. Clutch

So much natural and unpredictable talent being made so pedestrian and predictable,.

Yeah, but we shouldn't have to wait to going for it on 4th.

Dorsey relies on YAC sooo much on 3rd. Also, obvious with hindsight, but you take the 3 points there. You've already screwed up - don't double down. Adventurous at the wrong times, conservative at the wrong times.

Allen feels like a lot of the magic is being coached out of him. His superman stuff is unpredictable but it has been so effective. Trying to turn him into someone else, if indeed that's what's going on, doesn't seem to be working. I miss the harum scarum stuff. Yeah it is risky but boy was it fun. He looks like he's thinking too much, rather than relying on his instinct.

The US will have held two world cups before England does though. Which is just as silly.

I know someone who was at the event in london. He said goodell’s answer was diplomatic but it was quite clearly a hard no to anyone really listening

I can't take Bills seriously as superbowl contenders if they can't back themselves to get 2 yards when it's needed. All the big plays are majestic as hell, but if you can't go and get two yards when you need it, you're not elite. You're asking for too many things to go your way too often. Eagles last year were the masters of this. 2 yards out they couldn't miss. It ground opponents down.

The only positive I got from being at the game was how Bernard stood up to be the leader of that defence. And they did pretty well, considering

Agree. But the jags weren’t all that physically impressive. They didn’t hurt Allen much. The only interception I saw was a shot to nothing. This wasn’t a game of margins in the field. It was a game of offensive play failure. Also, and it’s a small point, Allen’s handoffs are awful

I mean we can cry about that if we want. But we played like dogs on offence. You read your stats all you like. Our playcalling was ass. That’s not a result of tiredness.

The nfl didn’t choose our offensive plays

Followed the Bills since '91 (failed glory hunter) and never seen them live. So while playing games in London is basically a load of old bull####, I'm pretty excited about getting to see them at last.

Just love watching D like this. Brilliant fun.

Feels like the defence of two years ago. McD has them on fire.

I'm really pleased for him. I don't understand the game as well as people on this board, but when we drafted him I looked at his reel from Baylor, and he looked to have real (and rare) superstar quality. I really hope he can scale it up to the big league. Looks like he might ...

Dorsey really is a worry, isn't he. Bills look like a strong playoff side. But there's an ease in the offence lacking. Can't make every set of downs so much hard work.

Bernard not quite the clown pick he was made out to be.
