[Buffalo Barbarian]

We needed that, now we must score.

 

Hurry up please

 

 

[Blank Stare]

If there was ever a time for the offense to wake up.

But there’s a bunch of homers in here who think the Bills are losing tonight because the refs are screwing them over. 🤔😂

 

Both are true. We play up to our standards on offense, we're in this game. Refs aren't constantly screwing us, we're in this game. Both, and we're probably winning.

 

But why do we have to play perfectly just to negate the referees? Nobody ever explains that part.

Go ask that genius Dorsey up in the booth

[Iverwig]

Sad part is if the Bills had any offense they would probably be up right now. I doubt Dorsey will be back next year but I wonder if he will be gone before the season ends.

No way. They held on 4th down. 

If we lose - it’s not on the D.  10 points is disgusting 

[Nitro]

Be aggressive in n the route running!

They're there.  Josh just does not want to throw it there.  He'll do it a couple times and then he starts patting the ball and looking downfield and bad things happen.  2 plays later we're punting.

have u been watching the game?  The bengals know they cant run and they are flooding everything short.  This is the damn problem.  They have not made them get out of that.  Buffalo has made no plays down the field and can not run.  Not to mention the terrible field position

 

Allen has to literally be super man in this situation, its a defensive coordinators dream.

If only we had the offensive output of 2021.  

[aristocrat]

Get gabe involved.

I don’t like Allen hanging out in the pocket waiting for stuff to break open and holding the ball too long. Either run and throw or just run and be decisive.

It’s the worst look he has.

While I haven't loved all of the play calling the defense down now 4 key starters is fighting its ass off. 

 

It needs help from the O.

they’ve had some semblance of being in a chess match 

 

the offense is just unprepared chaos held together by a couple ultra talented guys 

[CDogg20]

Allen needs to run up tempo and call his own plays here. Screw Dorsey

Kincaid needs to start being the first read. But at the same time josh hasn't shown this year that he will take the easy throws. Just disfunction across the board.

A simple pass to the flats would have to be there

I think the defense is playing well enough to win.    They’re on the field, defending the short end of a field position game, and playing against a great offense on the road.

 

They absolutely are.  It is very frustrating. 

[Charles Romes]

Burrow has 7 points the last 5 drives 

[Mango]

Josh is maybe the most talented QB in the leagues certainly the most gifted. 
 

But man, I’d love to watch a game these days where somebody mentions him going the extra mile like I hear from Mahomes or Burrow.

These posters in the GDT's don't want to hear the facts.  They just B on everything.

 

Josh and Dorsey have to prove they can do it.

The whole team is a joke, thats on the Head Coach. 

[Aimee75]

My only slight hope for this game, and it's not much, but for it to be similar to the Tampa game in 2021, and they had a ton of confidence for playing them well and almost pulling it off, and then they saw something in themselves and it showed in their play. 

[DapperCam]

This game is so huge for the playoffs. Really need points here to make it a 1 score game.

So where was our defense when it mattered? Letting them score on us at will?

 

If this is not on defense than why do they have 21 and likely to go up another TD or more?

[Low Positive]

Just now, boyst said:

Exactly. 

 

Aureoma has our number. He knows how to beat Josh.

So does Salah. He's said that he knows every play that the Bills are running. Aureoma probably does too, but he wouldn't say that.

True but MCDERMOTT is the head coach not just the DC!

Horrible decision by them there…Taylor is awful he’s propped up by a ton of talent on offense and a good DC

He knows who the Bills OC is, he’s not afraid.  

[Dr.Sack]

Can we do something on offense? Let’s go!

[dma0034]

Allen ran the ball. Scoring drive coming

[Chugga]

I think the saddest part of all of this is the fact that it seems like the McDermott and Daboll relationship is dead.  So you can’t even hope for a Giants crash and burn and a return.  Doubt Daboll ever gets to be a Josh whisperer ever again.

[LarryMadman]

Wow Dodson made a big play

He threw the ball 65 yards in the air in the first half.

Yeah, but I don't think the throwing action is too effected, at least it hasn't seemed to be over the last few games. He doesn't want to take a hit, but might get more desperate as the game goes on and we're down.

1) lack of talent

2) horrible scheme

3) horrible scheme

4) horrible situational coaching

5) horrible scheme.

When we lost 4 super bowls in a row I didn’t think it could get any worse.  Then the drought happened and I was convinced I had been through the worst 17 years a football fan could go through.  But now I’m watching a trending future hall of fame QB regress and talent be wasted and this somehow feels worse than all of it.

The Three Stooges staring  Pegula, McD, and Dorsey!!

Our D is doing a good job despite the score.  This is all on offense.

Does McD kind of just spectate during offense? Still confused by this whole dynamic 

Gotta stretch the hands for the claps my guy.

Physically, yes. The mental aspect is certainly lacking.

I think they came on a short field too after the bad punt

Not to my eye....it looks like he's telling Dorsey what to do each play...kind of

[Punch]

Josh clearly wants go tempo and it seems like Dorsey threw in the towel on it after the opening drive.
