Undisciplined mess of a team.

At least Indeed. Mcd is a bottom 10 coach and he's lost the team. Allen looks like he'd rather be anywhere but at this game.

Josh sucks tonight and the play calling is typically too cute by half. Need a new oc, dc, hc, and gm

Right we should be so lucky to lose to the chiefs in the playoffs.

"pace yourself coach, the team needs you!"

adapted?

so what do we get out of him tonight? Curious if there's been any transgressions during the week that would keep him sidelined for some part of the game.

Watching Detroit and KC last night I said this exact thing to my son. It's perplexing. It feels like Brady trying to outsmart everyone.

i have bad news for you twobillsdrive forums user bmur66

Yup! Plus I have some confidence that he can still read an offense. Part of the issue this year has been the secondary running around like a Chinese fire drill right before the snap resulting in 4 guys out of position

Hopefully Poyer can muster fresh legs for tonight. I wonder about his conditioning while he's been off, it's hard for aging athletes to adjust to their new reality when systems start failing.

Brady's system is exquisite when everything works. When it doesn't, he goes to the too-cute-by-half stuff, then sticks with it.

bro looks lost out there. nice preseason story but thats it

Yup. But don't worry, we'll make up for it with wave after wave of C+ defensive lineman, each one more mediocre than the last

Nothing.

What I don't get about McD is, what is his specialty? I thought he was supposed to be some defensive guru, but he very obviously is not. Our O changes with each OC, and now we're a dink and dunk running team, which is fashionable now I guess? But clearly that's not his thing either. It's very definitely not discipline, because that's completely lacking. Special teams have never been better than average under him either. Is it just that he can take a bad team and bootstrap them into the playoffs, but the conference is his hard ceiling? I'll eat my had if he does that. That's what's needed.

I'm looking forward to his presser today, and expect to hear "It's hard to win in the NFL"

Exactly 1 player on the Bills is elite, and when he plays pedestrian football, the bills look like a 8-9/9-8 team.

He had a good game. Diggs had a great game. Pats played with purpose, the Bills sleep walked through it. Im disgusted by the penalties, it was like a preseason game

No. He builds mentally soft teams that have occasional flashes of brilliance but it's just not a sustainable model for an 18 week season + playoffs.

The pats aren't awesome. That's exactly the point. They're a .500 team, but obviously the first decent team the Bills have faced. Atlanta is another 2-2 team. The Bills should be favored, though I'm not going to bet this game. We'll see if this is the Bills typical early-mid season malaise, or if the league has evolved while the Bills didn't.

The Pats controlled the rhythm of the game almost from the get go. I'm to the point in my long suffering fandom that I can predict by the 3rd drive if they're going to win or lose pretty reliably, and given all the long faces and undisciplined play/penalties/bad decision making, it was clear that the Bills couldn't have been any less interested in the game. I said something similar back in maybe 22 when they went through a swoon, and assumed then that there was a rot in the locker room, which their was. Too bad that rot came back and stole the underpants from our entire secondary over and over again last night. Anyways, the Bills lack discipline, and that comes from the coach. He should have been fire and brimstone with them at the half but you know he sat down and gently spoke of his feelings instead. What a mess. clap clap.

Brady is already working on a 10-men-in-motion formation so complex in execution that it requires players to take a 15 hour online training course just to grasp the vocabulary. Pats wont know what hit em

It's insufficiently gimmicky for Brady to invest in
