So ya, Josh is outright just playing bad lately. Did well vs jets, other than that game hes been junk for a month.

Some accurate comments about Josh in a smash mouth o, but this issue is we have too many just wasted or negative plays. Feels like dabol is just calling stuff off the sheet without an idea. We need a mix like any team.

3 man rush and our 8 figure LT can't do a damn thing. Trash OL

we need a return to basics like crazy, and daboll simply isn't competent. our corches are overconfident and arrogant. not having adjustments, just going back to the well over and over again when nothing is working, putting in moss over breida, it's all so tiresome. if mcd is worth his salt, he's slapping the double burger with cheese out of dabolls mouth and pressing his face into a sign that reads "KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID" right now.

the d got run out the building vs tenn and indy (as a prior post mentioned). if we didn't have a penalty on the kick off return for a td, we go up 4 vs tenn with little time left. if we converted in ther ed zone, we go up 4 w no time left. that was a close game at the least. vs indy, we got super trucked and mashed, but even a really good defensive performance woulda lost that game. against jax and pittz, d played well, special teams and offensive woes killed us. between the above, and the massive penalty problem, this team is simply not coached well or disciplined. any adversity gets us sulking. and to me the biggest and most obvious element of this is Daboll. he's a fat clown who has one great statistical season in a strange no audience covid year when allen broke out with diggs and beaz and davis balling out of control. he is reverting to the mean of his career with a quickness. his trash scheme, garbage protections, and complete lack of feel for who a game is going and how to organize an O is just glaringly obvious. im willing to let mccorch and the d corches work their way back to my good graces, but the offensive staff are rank beginners and have simply been bailed out by allen being super man much of the time.

bass nearly hit that 57 yarder at the end of the half, so ya not an issue w that one. going for it from 47 out was a mix of desperate and high risk low reward.

they really love that guy. we spent that money on two special teamers and butler and addison. can never have enough replacement level guys!!

there is a lot to this. they were playing w so so much juice in that game, allen had like 300 yards on 15 completions, the pass rush got home, all kinds of stuff. the thing that i just can't let go of is the penalties. someone showed in another thread how we had so many bad penalties in our losses (not so much indy, we just got destroyed there, but the ones we did get cost us or lead to opponent points). kc we had a lot too, but it was offset with the intensity and the juice we were playing with. imo we have stepped too far past team discipline, and simply play dirty and sloppy. our kick return game is hurting us bad too. our whole special teams except for our kicker (who missed 2 yesterday!). bad penalties and turnovers cost us yards, and cost us the pittz game, and really sealed in the loss vs indy.

right now, breida gets more burn, we run the ball more, the passing game must be organized to find knox, beas, and diggs in better match ups and get them the ball. we self scout and see what protection and what formations are working (i.e. not shotgun 4 wide do or die moron stuff) and simply show simple looks but run different plays out of them. on D, yards per pass had a comment from reich (and actual competent football coach) saying after a point he decided he was going to run it every 1st and second down, he did 17 or 18 at that point. our d and our coaches can't grasp that, that's the issue. we seem to like try to defend the whole field all the time, and try to keep this silly wide open O to just magically find the open man. we need to have more focused game plans, and have a plan b.

no adjustments, bad penalties, special teams blunders, and no ability to adapt (i.e. the things going wrong now are the same things that went wrong before, and last season). This is simply a coaching staff in over their heads. Mcd and Frasier have had success on D in the past, although they were both DBs and that's reflected in our finesse D. Dabol, our ST corch, and our O corches, do any of them have any track record? I think dabol and co (as well as our HC) sort of stumbled into josh allen and then got some talent around him and are using that to paper over their inability to lead and coach. i remember last year, we played NE who had like half their starters out for covid, and a ton of injuries. they had to play 6 dbs because they had only 1 linebacker who could physically play. we beat them on a miracle zimmer forced fumble on cam, ow we woulda lost that game. anyhow, their had huge personal issues, and we ran up and down on them, but they made a plan and prepared to put themselves in the best position to win, and they nearly did with a clearly inferior team. for the bills, a rookie OT being out w coof means we can't protect and won't even bother to run. a cover 2 or some shifty disguise means well we just have to totally suck on O, because our fat slob OC who's never had any success prior to getting josh allen and diggs doesn't seem to want to practice any under center plays consistently. On d, we were getting mauled on the ground (again) and we still bit like dogs on play action. never got out of nickle, but the pats were able to keep us out of the endzone playing dime all day. i honestly think of we simply practiced and schemed some more normal regular stuff that we could go to in a pinch, we'd have 2 or 3 less losses on the season (jax, pitt, maybe steelers, no chance we beat indy yesterday). this team has no confidence in what they are doing from play to play and they shouldn't.

mcd teams get murked and lay down every season OP, ever single one.

the upshot is most of our problems imo are coaching related. these guys just don't make adjustments, don't push towards balance (not running at all, only being in nickle while getting run out the stadium), and don't seem to be able to tell who can play or not. i think these guys are just way too stubborn. arrogant even. every flippen year we get just blown out the building, often more than once. every single one! i know most coaches have a system and change players to fit the system rather than the other way around, but these guys are something else. they really think they are much smarter than they are.

what was that, start of the 3rd quarter? i remember seeing that play, and just knowing this O was shot.

dude, this is a very very good point. the fact that breida gets no burn, but CLEARLY outperforms the other two backs, and that these coaches just couldn't get teller any snaps, and had to ditch spain (yeah he's a clown, but he can play better than anyone we have between the tackles) and somehow thought fat sloppy ford could be a player just shows me they don't have any concept of oline play and coaching.

um, ya? the colts out played us huge last year, in good weather, at home in the playoffs. with the corpse of phil rivers at qb. we got like one fortunate defensive stop late, and josh allen just went super sayin and blasted outside of the scheme passes to davis and others. at this point right now, our coaching and to some extent roster balance (or lack there of) is having us perform below our talent level.

based on our can crushing stats i was hoping that we had shored up our weak spots and got everything correct under the mccoach system, but clearly that is simply not the case. our d is ineffective against any team that can run and protect well. lots of investment in the dl, and they just don't make an impact. we have just about the best secondary in the nfl, and our LBs are cover focused, and it simply doesn't matter when a team can just block us up and go play action for chunks in the middle of the field. i don't know if changing the rotation system will help, but it's clear our team simply does not make adjustments of any meaningful impact. we come in with a game plan and run that game plan into the ground. i think the team issues are just too obvious to everyone to call our coaches good right now. our OL and no ability to run or protect (which is at least in part scheme and practice preparation) and our D's total weakness against the same, and not even having the intent to adjust shows our brain trust has some huge blind spots.

Two consecutive penalties taking us out of 3rd and 3 and field goal range, and we might have even turned the ball over then too and our run game was cheeks (granted we didn't do it much). It did seem like we had pockets some of the time, but our o was horrible today, and all our skill starters were in. I think a strong oline is a huge confidence boost for a team

And maybe it would have made dabol wake up to having two tight ends in the field at one time! If we as fans can see why the team is losing, and clearly point to coaching, imagine how the players feel?

I dunno about all this Pederson talk and what not, but I do know Frank Reich is a much better head coach than mcd. His team doesn't fall apart at the first sign of adversity, and he is plugging in qbs and safeties and ol and putting his team in a position to win. Our team is just like the teams MCD was dc on before he got here. Over all good solid teams, but front runners who don't take some push back well

This is 100% correct. In addition, much worse than McCarthy, I think he simply has no feel or understanding for protection or the run game. We play teams who put their QBs in a good position to hit a big wr or te without him being blanketed. I watched the KC game at my Giants fan buddies place, he commented that he couldn't tell you what the bills offense is, it just looks like Allen I'm shotgun and wrs running around and getting open. Out coaching sucks

This offense has been a disaster every game brown hasn't played. Allen and diggs haven't missed a snap due to injury, and our o still can't be the slightest bit consistent. Ford on the field is a guaranteed loss it seems. It's insane that our depth at ol goes from just about top O to worthless w one or two guys out. It's gotta be coaching, because Indy crushed our passing attack today, and they were missing both starting safeties.

So, we have had just run for the bus blow out games in every season under mccoach. Last year was the best for that, there was some fighting in the games we got destroyed in. We blow up cans now, and just fold vs anyone who wants to fight. This team lacks confidence and they are right too.

Just a trash team.

Looool, holding on d blows up our stop! Punk team

Ya, any team that can block and tackle and not fall apart is better than the bills. Can crushers, and barely that Losers
