Hollins

Vegas Schmegas. I'll go with the words of the immortal Al the boss angel. "Championships are won on the field."

Like who for example passed up a bad job and then got a good job later on?

There's only 32 of these jobs in the whole world and only a handful open up every year. The job pays a lot of money. And if you're a hot up and coming coordinator you can't wait around too long cuz other hot and up and up and coming coordinators will pass you up. And most of these guys believe in themselves and think they can make it work. Buffalo was not really seen as a good landing spot yet Coach McDermott has made it work. It's the nature of the business. The only thing that ever amazed me about Coach Saleh was how he kept that job for so long. And LOL, auto correct changes Saleh to Walsh. 😆

I can only dream about what our offense would like with these 2 guys (Metcalf and Lockett) lining up for Josh to throw to. That said, if there's any way to get Lockett on the Bills, I'm listening.

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED

Amen brother. They ran it several times like they always do. They also ran it a couple of times with #83. Why can't we run that play to Kincaid or Knox?

Josh went to the tent. When he first came off the field he did and appeared to tell them he was fine. Then he went in soon after.

I'm gonna say it was Fred Jackson. We ran great screens when Coach Gailey was here. I've been saying for years Dabol/Dorsey/Brady should dust off some of those Gailey era game films and copy some of those. I know they still have them somewhere at OBD. It would be a great play to run against these over aggressive blitzing Ds we've seen the last 2 weeks and no doubt will Monday night.

Been thinking about this. While I found passing on 3 straight plays and not making Houston burn timeouts odd I'm not so sure the idea was to throw it long every play. I could kindof see the first down pass to Coleman who did some nice things in the game. Looked to be like the 2 he caught in the Ravens game. Give us a first and stop the clock on the 20. Maybe get something going. After that maybe the idea was to throw a short pass to get a 1st down. I saw the all 22 on the pass to Hollins I belive on 2nd down and most guys ran short routes. Some were even open. Most pass plays have someone going long to keep the safeties honest if nothing else. Josh passed up the short throws to go long. After the Hollins pass Coach McDermott seemed to say something like we should be going for the first down. Wasn't the first time in the game Josh did that. Pretty much did it all game.

I'm gonna disagree with this. The bomb to Hopkins would have been fine if Hollins knew where the ball was. It hit him in the hands. The one to Hollns on 2nd down from the 3 was horrendous.

Let me see if I have this right. Josh threw the football well and with accuracy today?

This is both a lot of truth and a lot of excuse making. Yeah our WRs are bad. But today Josh seemed to revert back to sugar high Josh trying to force the football downfield to guys that weren't even open. He also overthrew several balls and several more landed yards beyond the boundary. He's our $60,000,000 man and a 7 year vet. He needs to play better regardless of what everyone else does/doesn't do.

Reminds me of the guys we used to trot out in the Coach Gailey era. Donald Jones, Stevie Johnson, Roscoe Parrish, TJ Graham, etc

Yeah I thought we didn't like Coach McDermott cuz he's too conservative.
