I thought losing the toss (or not deferring) bit us in the rear today. Jets score late first half and control opening drive of second half. Both losses involve missed from Bass (yeah, 55 yards but it would have restored some momentum going into the half. Both losses have horrible plays from Q-Berry directly contributing to loss. Ugh. We have lost 8 straight flips. McDermott always defers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. Allen needs to stop believing all the media hype around him, shave that mustache and stop throwing INTS at the ten yard line. Teams have figured out all you need to do is pressure him and he gets hyper and he caves. And then just run it on our Defense and you'll win. If Green bay weren't terrible we would've lost that game in the second half... it's movember - mustache is for cancer awareness. It's not affecting his accuracy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klos63 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Does Dorsey actually design a game plan. Every game seems the same, no imagination, no running game. He was my biggest concern coming into the season and still is. We won with talent early on, now teams have a strategy against us and we can't do much. Need to figure out how to use Knox, Davis, get a running game going outside of Allen. Allen has looked like crap too. But we won the NY/NJ argument , so there's something.

The Red King Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I'm less worried about the defense overall. They're trying to form a solid D out of dental floss and chewing gum at this point. The D-Line is hung out to dry by the walking wounded we have as our Secondary. If we can get our stars healthy and out on the field (and keep them there), the D will be fine. Special teams leave me feeling a lil gassy. Uncomfortable, but not a point of concern yet. We needed that three b/f halftime. While we got bailed out, that kickoff OoB was terrible, and not the first this season. The Jets seemed to gash our coverage on returns. Offense worries me. We need to establish a run game, and fail to do so. Something is wrong with Josh. Not sure if it's physical wear down or psychological, but he has not been right for six quarters now. We need improvement at WR and hope that we can still land OBJ (which until this game I didn't see an urgent need to do). I'd like to see Shakir involved more. I reserve judgement on Hines as he just got here and is still learning, but he looked good on that deep overthrow. Cook looked good, too. I'd like to see far more of those two going forward. The O-line is under siege. I still recall a perfectly dialed screen pass that resulted in two blockers running right past the defender that ultimately stuffed the play. Most of this can be corrected, and I have hope. Coaching. I have defended this staff for the most part over the years, but this was a horribly coached game. We finally figure out we need to run the ball, and then try doing nothing but run. Cook looked good all game, but gets pulled for the veteran when the game gets dicey. To much indecision. Someone needed to settle that team down, both sides of the ball, and it never happened. Blame the head coach for that, and to a lesser degree the coordinators. However, the coordinators are fully to blame in other areas. Like a poor guy trapped in a office meeting with 100 degree heat and women in the room, no adjustments were made at all. That concerns me. Maybe not so much defense, because our tattered backfield made adjustments difficult, but there is no excuse for lack of offensive adjustments. Games can be won or lost on these (ref: Cincy @ KC), and right now we don't seem up to the task. I am not at a point where I'm predicting doom and gloom. I still believe we are one of the best teams in the NFL. That said, I'm not keeping rose-colored glasses on. This team has holes at this point. Some should fill themselves, like getting our D healthy. Others can be filled, such as getting OBJ, running more and better mixing run and pass, getting a QB whispered to find out what's up with Josh and so on. I hope this game is a reality check. This team isn't going to cruise control to a Championship. I still have faith though, that they can fight and claw a way to one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's been a huge problem... Coupled with our lousy screen execution/ inability to run this basic NFL play, we've gotten worse on our need to go down field into high risk throws..... I think Shakir can be that guy. Unfortunately most of the plays go to Stefan and Gabe. He threw some dump offs to Cook, but Knox and Shakir had nothing. I think the Jets D outsmarted our OC and Josh didn’t have the answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muppy Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) ahem my real thoughts about this Loss....................... losing sucks. we can all agree on that. The difference is I think this team will recover as they regain key personnel off of injuries. Also I think Dorsey and Frazier need to make better adjustments and decisions on what plays to call to stifle what our opposition does that has worked against us. Basically use our strengths to defeat theirs. Today they beat us. They made the plays that mattered in the final outcome we didn't. On to the next game. Lets see if Hines could conceivably be the piece we need to replace Cole Beasley.... Edited November 6, 2022 by muppy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEBills Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I’m not too worried about it still. It stinks that both our losses are division losses but each have been on the road with half our defense missing. Josh has had some uncharacteristic miscues the last 1.5 games but has been unbelievably good the past season. As long as his arm isn’t injured he will bounce back. Lastly, Green Bay put on tape that we are vulnerable against the run and the Jets used that to limit Wilson’s attempts and control the clock. The Bills will need to figure that out. When we are a little more healthy, I have faith McDermott and Frazier can get it fixed. We are 6-2, still atop the AFC. Go Bills! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steptide Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Bills seem to do this every season since McDermott got here. They get to week 7 or 8 and have some head scratching losses. Last year it was Colts and jags. Year before it was titans and kc (though the rescheduling could've played a part in that). They seem to hit a slump mid season, but recover fairly quick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I could see the confidence and masculinity get stripped from them with every 6 yard run from James Robinson and every whiff on Williams by Saffold or Bates. That stuff is legitimately very real - aside from helping you win it’s another reason why being able to run the ball and stop it is vital in this sport.

He needs to snap out of it, or this season will slip away quickly. OL was really bad today--- rush was getting to the QB in about 1.5 seconds. Defense? Definitely need Milano and Poyer back (although it struggled last week with them vs the run). McDermott needs to fix the rush defense. Tired of watching them get gashed play after play (knowing the run is coming). Running nickel when there playing big up front doesn’t seem to be working. And on top of Milano being out, and let’s face it Edmunds isn’t good and stoping the run. We need a better MLB - running backs do get pass the Dline at times and this is we’re you need your MLB to come in and make a play. See c.j Mosley!!!!

Niagara Dude Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 40 minutes ago, Italian Bills said: Right now, honestly, beside all the anger for this loss, how much you are worried for the final regular season standing ? Still confident in the first seed, or not ? I think sometimes a loss like this can be good for both the team and fans. The team needs to stay focused and understand its a long season, fans need to stop talking like our team has all pros at every position. If the Bills can get OJB, they need to do it. Davis and Mckenzie are not consistent or creating enough separation and teams are just loading up to stop Diggs. Most of Allen's passes were to backs for short gains, not enough big chunk plays. Last season when Allen needed a platy and Diggs was covered he could usually rely on Beasley. We have not replaced that this season.Beanne needs to get both Miller and White on a conference call Monday with OJB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
