Just here to say… I’m officially on the get a new OC bandwagon.  This is the second year in a row… we came out of the gates looking unstoppable. Only to hit a big slump in the middle of the season. Defenses are jumping routes, shutting down the run, and playing half a step ahead of our offense.  And Dorsey has no adjustments to make.  
 

Add in the obligatory defensive meltdown at just the right times… and here we are.  
 

Struggling to look competent.  All too often the team looks unfocused, slow, and just out of sync on offense.  The defense is good, but one player misses a tackle and they give up 30 yard runs when they need 1 stop. 

 

I'm starting to hate McDermott being HC and running the defense as well. He has even less a hand on everything than he did before.

It could be that Allen's style of play just isn't sustainable over a long career. He has to run to be most effective and he keeps getting banged up with injuries that aren't enough to keep him out of games but hurt his performance.


I don’t give a crap. His legs make him dangerous.

 

at LEAST roll him out! Do something!

My .02 is this is more on the offense...although ST and D failed.

 

Sleepwalking through 3 quarters tired out an already underwhelmingdefense.

Not that they should've let Mac Jones look like Brady.

 

 

This one is on the Defense which is mangled but still against that team still should have done better than stopping them a few times or holding them to FGs and then TDs. Offense could have been better obviously but they moved the ball most of the day struggled to punch it into the endzone in the 1st half, which I'm betting is something NE might still be good at, turned it on at the end.

 

Bright side for me was the Offense did look more consistent at times when the O-line could keep it's ***** together, they spread the ball around and got everyone involved.

I already know the Bills are not winning it this year, too many injuries and poor coaching. Neither team is doing anything in the next 2 years anyway. The Patriots picking in the top 4 would give them a chance at one of those QB’s, glad I don’t have to worry about that anymore 

I wanted a top 3 pick but now I’d be happy with an OT and maybe Mcacrthy in the 2nd.

We need to run more no huddle or at least have some sense of urgency with each possession. Less time for Dorsey to think is better

Because he catches almost everything.

 

If you are by far the best more reliable WR, then you get a little bit of slack.

 

Fair point, but he's been dropping more than usual of late (which says a lot about how much he usually catches). Maybe something off with Josh's trajectory? Don't know.

I know I am oversimplyfying things a bit but I see the Bills taking one of three paths going forward

 

1. Stay the course, the ship will right itself as some of the injured players like Oliver will be back soon.

2. Make a major trade at the deadline to fix the more signficant holes; meaning giving up one or two high round draft picks.

3. Recognize the current make-up of this team including the cap problems prevent this team from going all the way. Thus one needs to think do they go for a 2, 3 or even 4  year plan where they trade or cut pieces that won't be here and try and load up on draft picks. 

 

Included in any of the above would be some coaching changes but outside of the O coordinator I don't see coaching changes altering the fundamental problems with this team.
