Casey D Posted November 8, 2023 Author Share Posted November 8, 2023 2 hours ago, BBFL said: For the circumstances on the defense they aren’t playing bad against teams who rack up points. They aren’t a top unit but we’ve still been in every game. The defense has lost us one game only. The Patriots. Thought they would stop them the next time on the field after that massive fumble to put us back in the game. This defense is build to play with a lead. Very simple. Their whole success under McD has been just that. They’re a middle of the pack unit. Our offense is not. Or at least was not. They should be a Top 5 like they have been as all the components are still there with slightly improved OLine play from years prior. Agree. Good observations.

Bad Things Man Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 McD's fear of getting beat deep is causing our corners to give too much cushion; which is causing the opposing team to pick us apart underneath; which is causing long sustained drives and less drives for our offense; which is causing our defense to not get off the field; which is causing the increased amount of defensive injuries this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Defense Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 To me, this post loses its credibility when you (Kubiak?) say: "Bills only had ball on O for 23 minutes, largely because defense could not get off the field quickly." Huh? Did you (Kubiak?) watch this game? The offense is the main reason for this. They had under 40 yards in the first half after the first drive--and into the 2nd quarter, drive after drive with a catastrophically low number of both first downs and yards. And they ran the ball, what 5-6 times, with their running backs!? And the lack of TOP is on the defense? Completely nonsensical. The defense took some time to get settled, but then limited the Bengals to one field goal in the second half, though missing their best CB (and then another starter in the game), best run stuffeing lineman, best linebacker (and then another starter in the game), and best defensive end. Ridiculous to call out the defense as the problem in general, and then specifically for the lack of offensive time of possession. So easy to shoot that silly, illogical idea down with the facts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I’m saying that innovative schemes isn’t their strong suit. There are other parts of coaching that I think they are much better at. They’ve built a very good team and turned around a franchise that was foundering. Some coaches are more about motivation, execution, etc. While I think McDermott choked away the Bills best chance at a SB with 13 seconds, he did get the team to that point. They were capable of winning a SB that year. I do question McDermott’s ability to fully motivate the team at this time though. I think he’s run his course with the team and some new blood is needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Hucklebuck Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Allen is going to want out. Chained to these underneath WRs and this dink and dunk pipe dream. Turk Schonert calling out Dick Jauron’s popgun offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is evident in Allen's public personality to suggest he would ever undermine someone else. He also likely won't ask to be moved while he is under contract. But when his contract is up, if we are still dicking around with McDermott and/or Dorsey and having early playoff exits, Allen will enter free agency. Its incumbnent on Beane or Pegula to figure out the situation on their own. Edited November 9, 2023 by Chaos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought of the team still "dicking" around with McDermott and Dorsey for 5 more seasons is frightening. And yet given the history of the team's unwillingness to know when to say when, quite possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be 2029, and that’s excluding the very real possibility that Josh signs an extension this off-season to match the Burrow contract.
