Literally every week since week 7 last year. It was a joke in one of my group texts this morning. "Copy and Paste from last year" "Maybe this is the loss/performance the guys need to wake them up and McD will light a fire under them" It was 12 weeks of it last year, an entire offseason, and now this... It isnt going to happen. There is no waking up or lighting fires with this team. I put that on McD. The OC wont hold him accountable because the OC would make those same decisions. That's the problem.

Cook will not break tackles. He has never been that player. It's actually really surprising seeing so many people upset about that this morning. He's a speed guy. He beats guys to the corner or to the hole. And he did that very well all last night. He will snap off big gains when we get him space like all the space Hall had to run through.

Yeah, tough to get into the "shouldve kept Dabol as HC" argument (which I've made myself) after he was embarassed even worse this weekend. However, I also believe he has a much better demeanor for coaching/handling Josh than Dorsey. Dorsey is too jittery, too frenetic, too always-wanting-to-take-a-deep-shot. Exact opposite of what Josh needs.

While Hackett was smart enough to lean into it when he saw it working for them. Is that where we're really at? Hackett is a better OC than ours? Seems so after last night...

Why get more weapons when we wont even use the ones we have? Cook played well. He looked exactly as I expect and want. Outran guys around the corner multiple times.

I didnt go through the whole thread. Did anyone ever report the details of the accident? What happened exactly?

RIP, again.

Because all we needed was 17 points in regulation, and instead had stalled drive after stalled drive after stalled drive. The 2nd INT should never had happened because no such play should have been called. We were slowly pounding and dinking the ball down the field. Keep at that. Grind it out. But Josh/Dorsey just cant help themselves but to take those bad deep shots. ONE field goal in the 3rd quarter and we win the game.

This is not at the level of forcing someone to sell a team. Let's just settle that right now. That said... YIKES TERRY, WTF Between the fracking and this, the ice is getting thinner.

If we had 11 Diggses on Offense we'd likely be undefeated. He aint the problem. Never was.

That isnt his game. Did anyone think it was? Cooks game is to AVOID contact, out run it, beat it to the corner and get loose. He is NEVER going to run through someone. He never has. That has never been his game and shouldnt be expected.

No, not out of character. And I happily take that penalty every time. The LEAST of our worries from last night.

McD aint it

it was 3rd and TWO

OLine up against a tough DL and Dorsey doing them no favors

The Jets D is also really really good. We need another big play from the D to give the O a short field. Only way.

3rd and long is our kryptonite

I believe they are under a new name.

I get what OP is saying, but for me, it isnt that I'm not excited, but rather happy to avoid hype and fly under the radar with the rest of the team. I think we all learned what high expectations get us. And it's good to expect a certain level of play as standard, but last year just wasnt fun - even when we were winning. When winning becomes so miserable, it's good for all of us to take step back, take a breath, and just get ready to enjoy it as it goes. GO BILLS!

Their HC has to go. This is now the expected outcome with the Chargers and he has no answers for it. He must be causing it because there is talent on that team. Wonder if McD would think about bringing him in at DC?

That's the beauty of Football! Team sport and no single performance is completely independent.

Funny. But also kinda true? After 20+ years of misery and wallowing in it on this message board, it's nice to come here and see people in the national media picking our team to win it all and see Bills fans able to agree with them.

I got some bad news for you...

Michael Robinson on NFLN picking us as well. I think he had it Bills/Cowboys SB.

The raccoons at Allegheny State Park are BOLD and AGGRESSIVE. And for extra fun, full of rabies!
