Coach Tuesday

They’ve already spent “serious resources” on both lines and have little to show for it. Throwing money at the problem won’t solve it.

Disagree. Roster is top 5 in the league. They are losing games to inferior rosters.

The GM, OC and HC are not on the same page. They don’t have a coherent vision for what the offense should look like, how best to build out the line and running game, when and how to lean on Allen (who despite being erratic was still the best athlete on the field last night), and what kind of running game to have. These problems should’ve been solved in the offseason but they weren’t, and you can see the uncertainty on game day. The Patriots have a clear vision for how they want to present on offense and defense and they execute it. The Bills, at least on offense, lack a clear vision - Daboll does a little bit of everything but nothing particularly well. It’s telling that on 4th and long with the division on the line they don’t even have a core, trusted play to fall back on. Not a good season of executive leadership from Beane and McDermott, two guys who were handsomely rewarded for early success and may be coasting a bit.

Looked to me like the Pats had their backs stretching out the play to wait for the Bills’ downhill defenders to engage with their blockers, then quickly cut upfield. Bills didn’t really adjust until well into the fourth quarter when they started having their linebackers and ends rush to the cut point. Why it takes a defensive coach so long to make an adjustment like that is very confounding to me.

Red zone issues are a lack of attention to detail.

Every time this season the other team has decided to just impose its will on the Bills, it’s been able to. Every time.

Clearly out-coached by someone who knows how to design a winning game plan.

Cannot manage to play a precision game.

Not that this organization even registers embarrassment anymore but… They are clowns from the top on down.

McDermott may be a straight up idiot.

Edmunds is having one of his “games.”

Wild game.

McD’s teams do not rise to meet the moment.

Time to start talking about next year’s OC.

McD loves those unforced TOs- goodbye Brieda.

So far they know what plays we’re running.

Knox wasn’t even close to catching that, which is amazing.

The pregame coin toss may determine this game.

Why?

I’m sure he’s been side-channeling regarding some of the college football hires and I wonder if that came out and the Panthers told him to scram.

Trust in Haack as the holder is underrated - I seem to recall Bojo forgetting to turn the laces out a few times. Haack still seems to be punting in quicksand which scares the hell out of me but the fieldgoal kicking game has been tight this year.

Oh my God, do we? ARE YOU SURE?

The things humans get worked up about…
