Since Clowns stacked the box and rendered our best RB out of the game and make Josh beat them with the pass (good luck) I suspect the Fish to do the same and the Broncos the following week and the Cowboys on Thanksgiving.

I heard that on the Titanic, the clarinet player was out of tune.

Totally. The Clowns stink at defending the run. Does putting another guy in there turn them into the 85 Bears. Even with the stacked box Singletary was able to get 5.3 per carry over all 8 carries. Lame excuse IMHO

When we signed Dabol and were told he was going to implement a NE style offense and then signed Beasley I thought he would be our Edelman. Hit him with quick throws on the run. maybe a pick thrown in for good measure. Same goes for Brown. I have seen none of that. Looks more like the Nate Hackett throw it to guys standing still offense. I don't understand it.

Over and out. Have fun. go BILLS !!

I quoted my original snarky post. Sorry if it came off that way,. I did say i was pleased as punch we are 6-3. Is that not good enough to still be considered a Bills fan? I'll put my Bills fan manhood against yours any day. I am a season ticket holder. I live in on the west coast and fly to Buffalo for at least 2 games a year and will be coming back if we have a home playoff game. I pay for Sunday NFL Ticket so I can watch ALL the games. What do you do besides insult fellow Bills fan on TBD that have a different opinion than you? I asked you to clarify a statement you made. Don't make 'em if you don't want to be asked to back them up. You did. Thanks. Your drug jokes were funny, I guess. But yes, I am not happy with our offensive production. Sorry if that offends you. Have a nice day. Go BILLS !!

Thanks for clarifying your position. You make some good points. I had mentioned the fewer turn overs, but that's OK. One you didn't mention which is important is points pre per game. Pre bye - 18. Post bye - 22. Wins are down however. 4-1 pre bye, 2-2 post bye. So, some improvements, but all in all still not very good. Would you agree? Maybe we just have a difference in opinion which is fine. But really, is all the condescending insulting stuff I bolded necessary?

How are the coaches to blame for Josh under throwing a guy with the wind vs Eagles and then badly over throwing 3 guys wide open deep vs Clowns? Looks to me like the Coach put him in a position to succeed and Josh just blew it. Face it. He's just not good at throwing the long ball.

Greg Roman, Petine, and Schwartz are not two bit coaches.

They never were.

Singletay averaged 5.4 yards per carry on the 8 carries he got. So it wasn't like the run game wasn't working.

I agree but he certainly did not yesterday. He had several opportunities to win in the 4th but came up short each time.

Ravens went to AFC Championship his rookie season. Couldn't have been that bad.

Bottom line. They did. The buck stops with him.

Actually he's not playing anywhere near as good. He's not even in the same ballpark. Watch this video. Hotrod made more good long throws in one half than Josh has in 20 starts. Had Josh been able to hit just one pass like this Sunday we win. Yeah I know Culture of Tyrod. Whatever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzrwEpKYHWk

I would add Alex Smith to that list. But can't think of any others.

3rd year under Coach McDermott and 2nd under Beane and we still don't have good enough players? Is that in anyway an indictment on Coach McDermott and Beane's player evaluation? They inherited a pretty doggone talented roster.

Enough with the excuses. THIS is the second half of year two no matter how you slice it. 2 mini camps, 2 training camps, 2 summers working with Jordon Palmer, 1 1/2 years of watching film. He's started 20 games. At what point do we stop making excuses? 3rd season? 40 starts? 5 years? I'm not ready to give up on him necessarily, but he's a big boy. Stop making excuses for him. It's time to step up. This is the bigs. You never heard me say that

You say of course there's been improvement but you don't mention where. Mostly you just made excuses. Are we scoring more points? Gaining more yards? Getting more first downs? The only thing I could point to is Josh hasn't made any ill advised passes into a crowd like he did last year and earlier this year in the last few games. I'm pleased as punch we're 6-3 and hats off to team for that. However our offense looks as bad as ever. Unless I'm missing something. Help out a bills brother and tell me what please. You don't get a pass because players aren't good enough. they are the ones the coaches picked.

The run first strategy would have been effective if Rex could have coached defense.

I think it's just that Josh is not good at it. Never has been.

You didn't hear it from me. I prefer a strategy of what my Dad's friend used to say: "Do what you do do well". If what you say is true we're being at the mercy of what the other team does. We can only do what they say we can do. Sure you can avoid going right after the other teams strength. But this is football. Sometimes you have to impose your will on the other team and beat them over the head with it. And you still haven't pointed out an example where we took advantage of a Clowns weakness (or even tried).

Who said anything about settling. I was thinking as we tried to get closer we may have very well gotten a TD. Why does it have to be one or the other? And I'd take a crap shoot over a loss any day.

Maybe you're right. But I have a hard time believing that an offense is hand cuffed that much by what the defense does. I can see that to a point. But in the eagles game because the Eagles were stacked against run we had to pass in 40 mile an hour winds? We were stacking in on them too and they still ran the football and ran it effectively. The Browns are bad against the run. Putting an extra guy in there isn't going to turn them into a good run defense. I would have liked to see us at least try. As it was Singletary got 42 yards on 8 carries. 5.4 per. I bet if we'd given it to him another few times he would have broken one. And you still haven't told me of an example in the Clowns game where we took advantage of their weakness.

I would have been happy with a FG. But we really should have tried to get closer instead of wasting time. Especially since HauschMoney missed a chip shot earlier in the game and one against the Eagles.
