Diggs could have been led a bit toward the side line.  He was waiting

 

Guy throws the ball 50 yards and hits his best receiver in both hands, I'm not going to nitpick.

 

Also, I enjoy Josh not running recklessly, but while we are talking playcalling, I don't want many designed runs, but I think there are options to roll out that allow him to run outside the tackles if nobody is open.

 

And I will state this again. Josh initiating contact with a DB or hurdling someone outside the pocket is less of an injury risk than sitting in the pocket. Rough sport, and I'm would like him to be set up to have some options outside the pocket sometimes, and not put a Drew Bledsoe poster on his wall quite yet.

Really we're going to throw this guy under the bus, how about this.

Dude, you’re literally one of the most Chicken Little posters on TBD.  you thought the season was over before it started.  
 

For f’s sake the the season isn’t lost and injuries happen to every team.  Let it play out without overreacting every game.  

I hate when a poster comments on a newcam post. That’s the only time I have to see them. Ignore is this site’s best feature.

Cook 5 carries for -4. Teams are now anticipating the shotgun handoff and have learned how to shut it down. 

 

Dorsey needs to adjust. How does he not see something that is so obvious? Infuriating.

If we have learned anything over the last little while, it is that you can't just trust the science.

 

I said it earlier, while there is no perfect way to do this because it is totally ridiculous to be forced to fly half way around the world to play a football game in general, there was a much better way to have handle this.  We should have beaten Miami, left and arrived in England on Monday.  Had our traditional Tuesday off to recover and try to start acclimating to the time difference, and then had a somewhat normal week of practice starting Wednesday.  By game time, if nothing else, you would have been more prepared physically.  This is not to mention it would have given players more time to prepare for the stadium and the turf and what to have to wear to be as safe as possible. 

 

Instead, they waited.  No matter how much they won't admit it, when you have a big trip like that ahead of you, players are going to be overthinking it all week.  They knew the grind they were in for and instead of getting rid of that distraction early in the week, they let it weigh on their player's minds all week, distracting them from practice and learning the game plan. 

 

Regardless, these international games are absolutely insane and I hope it's a decade before we are forced to do it again.

 

Teams initially tried that. It went badly. Worse than when they did what the Bills did. Also disrupted every other thing they do...meetings, practices, injury treatments, etc.

 

Let's not pretend the Bills just made this up out of thin air, it's become standard practice because of how things went for the other teams when they went earlier.

Fifth round of the draft?

It's the Dolphins system more than Anchane. Although his speed is elite and the coaches know how to maximize it. He'd likely be a dude under Dorsey.

I mean someone here is toeing the line of calling a loss to the Giants

Lol we all know the concern crew would be crawling out of there holes after this loss. And like I said with this loss in the eyes of many we aren't even a wild card team, man this place is something else lol.

Lol then it's easy go root for another team. I don't know what to tell you everyone wants to win a championship so don't act like you're the only one who wants that. No amount of female dogging will make this team any better or any worse. 

Right ? Not too many undefeated seasons put up in NFL history. If you’re expecting perfection over 18 games you’re bound to be disappointed.

Why did we have to waste a timeout when a jags player was injured on a play? That was absolute bs.

 

Knox and Davis can not be on this team too.

It wasn’t a time out charged to us. We still had 2 more left.

After last week, it felt like the Bills were on the verge of something great. Now, this loss coupled with the injuries on defense, feels like another disappointing season.

Honestly, this should be stickied. 
 

Bills were a guinea pig.

I think the biggest annoyance is every issue which the Bills offense has had which, perhaps naively, many thought had been sorted out, has clearly not been. After making steps forward from week one (as that was on Josh, not playcalling), today feels like a massive step back.

 

ETA - Forgot to mention the horrendous injuries building up on defense.

Imo not really. There were definitely plays out there to be made and the Bills didn’t execute well. This was a lack of fundamentals, not elite plays by the Jags defense. 

C'mon man. You come off as a Bills homer with red & blue blinders on. I'm not saying that the Jags D is the 2nd coming of the Steel Curtain, but any unbiased observer can see that they held in check an offense that just last week was "unstoppable", and a QB that many are saying is an MVP caliber guy. 

[jlgarsh]

Dorsey calling running plays down 2 scores with like 5 minutes left was asinine. Leave him in London

You are not considering the other factors that are equally as important like routine for practice and meetings and injury treatment facilities and the players being in their own beds for as long as possible.

 

 

Didn’t hurt the Jaguars being away from home for almost 3 weeks

They played KC well, too.

I'm pretty sure we went down to one after that play.

Agreed. I have to believe the outcome would have been different if the game had been played in Orchard Park, but so be it.

Today's result is on the lack of execution and some poor playcalls on offense plus the Jags defense being allowed to play fast and loose with the rules. It was not down to class play on their part.

Fast and loose, not 'lose'
