My favorite is the disguised blitz threat on third and long, and all the guys in the middle at the line drop back into coverage and leave the entire middle wide open right to the stakes. 

This D always asks a guy to be in 2 places at once.  It's like a ponzi scheme

We literally are down 7 starters 

What about the offense?

Smooth, composed, accurate, and nearly always the right decision.

Joe Burrow's dad was the OC for Ohio University since he was 10. I think that he knows how to read a D.

This is truly WTF!  Offense should be much better than this.  This almost feels like a game during the drought.  It's feeling like this week is the season.  And I am sober to boot.  

I am not sober, but I feel similar.

Just as a reminder when we give up points it sucks but I get it.  We are down all pros, pro bowlers, and solid starters on defense.

 

The offense is 100% healthy.  Correction we are down our starting TE but he is actually worse than his backup.  And that offense has 10 points so far.

The offense, or lack thereof is by far the main reason we are 5-4 now. Not the defense. The offense has been awful the past five weeks and cost us multiple games. No excuse for it at all.

Imagine giving him the contract we did at that point of his career.

 

This FO and coaching staff is a disaster.

Yes it is.

Bills have any stops on 3rd and long tonight?

Well said. I'd take him over Allen to be honest. 

[Matt_In_NH]

This defense does not get turnovers anymore  since the injuries. 

[dgrochester55]

This is not a playoff team.  Period.

[billybob71]

Bills were gonna lose this whether Kincaid fumbled or not. Hopefully McDermott/ Dorsey realizes he is one of the few bright spots on Offense and keeps feeding the kid the ball

[Process]

Honestly don't want to hear anything about our defense after this game.

 

We have 10 points. 10 freakin points.

KC has a top 5 defense.  We cant score on 18th ranked team.   The KC game is going to be a beating.

Nah we will somehow put in a performance that sees us lose late

[Pirate Angel]

Damn it Kincaid...hope this serves as a driving force down the road

[Nitro]

Kept them out of the endzone

[Joe Ferguson]

Just remember guys. A 9-8 team won a Super Bowl. We can still afford to lose four more games after this loss.

No.

 

But, hey, defense isn't the problem! 😬😐

 

Seriously, the Bengals are trying to give us this game and our defense just can't get off the field.

10 points from the offense is a big problem. Some is on Dorsey. Some isn’t. He has his own issues, but he also bears the brunt of a few years of frustrations. 
 

Moving on may be best. But he isn’t THE problem here. 

[HurlyBurly51]

Groot sighting

[McBean]

Sean McDermott has taken all the joy of Buffalo Bills football outta me.

 

Congrats Sean.

[GunnerBill]

Game just about still alive.

13 seconds and the window slammed shut. 
 

You know it’s bad when I’m not even upset. I’ve think I’ve lost a bit of interest this year. 

A bit? Lost interest in this team last divisional game… 

[TheWeatherMan]

10 points through 3 1/2 quarters against another crap defense.  Offense is a major problem yet we go all defense at the trade deadline.  

[Freddie's Dead]

ROUSSEAU, WITH THE REJECTION!!!!

All respect, but I don’t think this is competitive at all. Not to say that I’m right and you’re wrong, I’m just totally disheartened at this point. The Bills are mostly losers in primetime games. This year sucks so far. 
 

yeah.. this is embarrassing. Again. 

Won't argue with that, I guess I meant for 3 quarters this was a watchable game.

[MikePJ76]

the defense has done all it can since the start of the 2nd quarter

I don’t quite know where to go.

 

I think McD has been a decent CEO. But there have been issues.

 

Ive been critical of Beane. Our roster is old and expensive. It will take a year or two to dig out of.

 

Dorsey is sometimes great. But also not. 
 

Josh is physically gifted. Wildly talented. But erratic and not great feel feel at times. 

 

I think it I s time to rebuild this thing from protection  around Josh and out. Fans won’t love it, but it will take a few seasons to get Von, Tre, Hyde/Poyer, Knox, and Morse off the roster and have reasonable replacement. And it will force Josh to make some more plays with his arm, and may exacerbate some things. But it may be a necessary evil. 
 

Otherwise we just become Rodgers and GB. 

I'm ready for a complete reboot.  Cut the fat like you said and bring in a fresh voice at head coach.  We aren't on the cusp of anything good at this point.  

[daz28]

Thanks Joe

[Special K]

Given the injuries on the D, holding the Bengals under 30 was about as much as you could ask....the Bills O only scoring 10 points is the problem.

Last year was our legitimate shot and we blew it. 

We were too injured. Same thing as this year. We have one of the oldest teams.

That fumble  was the coaches fault 

 

You like our game plans this year?

 

We have 3 points since the opening drive.  Our players suck and are making these elite coaches look bad?

I don’t see how Hyde, Poyer, Tre, Von and Morse are back next year.

The Bills will probably still win the AFC East, but there's a lot to tighten up.

[Real McClappy]

TD or game over upcoming.

Yea he isn't the only problem. That is definitely the case.

Just blow it up.  Please.  The regression since 13 seconds is just maddening. FIRE McDummy and Dorsey NOW, as in immediately post game.  We are NOT going anywhere but downwards under this staff, they're 2 1/2 seasons past their peak.  Watching the same crap week after week is maddening.  McD's "process" cannot and should not be trusted any further  6+ seasons and it's yielded sht. 

Let an assistant take over for the rest of the season and then fire the rest of the staff and bring in a young, upcoming offensive mind.   Rebuild on the fly around Josh and Diggs.  Everybody else can go as far as I'm concerned.

 I wonder if Sean is gonna quietly remove that Lombardi trophy banner form the field house and replace it with playoffs or bust

[Goin Breakdown]

The comeback is real!!!

[Fallser]

BEND DON'T BREAK, SEE GUYS, Our Defense ROCKS.
