If Morse is so athletic and a good pass blocker, why not kick him outside to Left Tackle? Seems like Dawkins would be better suited inside at his current shape anyway.

Agreed. This is the team he built. Can’t put all your resources on that side of ball into building a top notch passing game and then whine that we can’t run the ball.

Not sure which play was worse… Claypool’s or Peterson letting the Pittsburgh WR get out of bounds with 3 seconds left.

vikings don’t deserve to win

Breeland is awful.

Sounds like he’s saying his team ain’t tough enough to run the ball. And the reason they ain’t tough enough is because they didn’t commit to running the ball earlier. That points to Daboll to me.

Disagree on the Moss run. Judon tackles Moss for a loss if he bounces it outside. It’s kind of comparable to saying a WR is open after the man covering him has already reacted to the pass being thrown to somebody else. A dynamic RB that has speed and power to break an arm tackle might have been able to score if they bounced it outside, but Bills don’t have one of those.

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/defenses-blunted-superstar-quarterbacks-season-083006493.html Extremely relevant article. Just feels like Bills organization was/is behind the curve on how NFL defenses have adjusted to the passing game. And now it looks like it’s too late to do anything substantial enough to address our weak running game.

I think it’s offensive philosophy more than anything else. The jettisoning of Teller after 1 season is the epitome of that. McDermott, Daboll or whoever makes the decisions on the offensive side of the ball sees no value in a power run game. They get rid of every Offensive Linemen whose strength is in the run game or they look so bad because it’s a pass only offense, draft RB’s more for their pass catching skills, and don’t value Tight Ends who can block and move the chains.

I think the defense is pretty much how they want it. They can live with getting gashed on ground occasionally. Defense 95% of time gives team chance to win game. Offense is different story. I’d love to hear the conversations Beane, McDermott, and Daboll have about what happened with Wyatt Teller. Epic Fail there.

If McDermott and Frazier keep asking him to lose weight, maybe he doesn’t really exist.

There better be changes after what’s gone on this season. Too many coaches and players that aren’t championship caliber. It’s never 1 play or 1 player away. It’s everyone in the organization. Is McDermott the guy capable of identifying who’s JV and who’s championship caliber? Because right now we are a sloppy mess when it counts. 0-4 in one score games this year.

He’s definitely starting caliber, but can you win a championship with him when he’s one of your top 5 highest paid players? I’d answer no. If he could catch the ball, his best position would probably be safety.

If Bills could’ve scored a TD on either of those last 2 drives, every story about last nights game would’ve been about Belichik not trusting his QB.

If the question was asked today or tomorrow, I don’t have a problem with it. 15 minutes after a hard fought divisional game loss with everything on the line, that guy should be banned from the media room. He was clearly trying to trigger Poyer and Hyde who were at an emotional low. Guy is a low life.

I’d say the 1st Act of the McDermott era needs to end. He’s earned a 2nd Act and the right to re-tool this team from a soft one to one that can win in the trenches. The defense only needs a couple minor tweaks. The offense needs a philosophy change.

You can even sense it from McDermott. He hates this team’s offense. You can tell how much it eats McDermott up that we can’t run the ball.

Tight End, Interior Linemen and a big physical RB. These are not high dollar ticket items or positions you need to trade up in the draft for. Spend $10m on a Tight End or interior OL in free agency. Draft the others. This is easily fixable in 1 off-season but requires a change in the offensive philosophy. We have the QB. And a legit #1 WR.

Should’ve over-paid Gronk. Josh needs a chain mover and big red zone threat. Would’ve helped running game too.

Spot on.

How many 4th and 14’s do you expect to convert? The pass rush was closing in on him. 1st and 2nd down on that drive was where the game was lost.

Epenesa is the poster boy for this organization. Lose 25 pounds to be better against the pass regardless of the effects against the run.

You mean like the Colts game? Last night and this season for that matter are on the coaches and schemes, not the players.

14 points and 241 yards given up is hardly embarrassing.
