corta765 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Just gonna shoot straight from the hip here and call it as I see it: -The losses have all been soul crushing type. NYJ/NE/DEN were last second crap that makes you want to scream. I will always rather lose by a lot then a little because it is far more painful. CIN wasn't as close but the Kincaid fumble ruined any real shot and JAX was close for the most part until the D wilted at the end -The Bills superbowl window with McD is over. The window with Allen 100% exists but there is only one path forward and the longer they take to make the wholesale change need at headcoach the less time they have with that window. -The direction of the team needs to be offense first and defense be damned. It has been pointed out numerous times and properly that the force to make Josh dink and dunk and be safe is back firing worse then just letting him be and the offense attacking. -The defense is fine and even injury wise held ok. But it is concerning that when the big moments come and they need a stop they keep faltering badly. I don't see that changing this season it is what it is. Long term I actually feel good about the defense when they are healthy for the future as outside of Von & the safeties they have good talent and are pretty young -The biggest issue not being brought up that can really derail the offense further is Diggs. His age is real and his days are very numbered, after him Kincaid looks like a stud and Shakir isn't bad but they do not have much. They really need to add a rookie and even a guy like Mike Evans this offseason to shore that up. They can hire a new coach/oc etc.. but the offense needs more at the WR spot otherwise any return back to high play we liked will be capped. -It is really frustrating as a fan that the regression is as real as it has been as a team and it feels we have fallen from being a Tier 1 team to middling at best. I cannot see any justification for keeping McD at this point. He did a great job stabilizing and building this team up, but his program is maxxed out and there is nowhere left to go with him. 5 10 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 If you change coaching staffs which I'm not disagreeing with, there also will likely need to be a bit of a mini rebuild too. At that point, think you're better off going with youth as in rookie WR than a guy like Evans. If you do decide to do the rebuild, then could be willing to take the hit and trade Diggs in the offseason. Long term that would be better, maybe even Miller. The other option is wait another year, less of as hit but then Bills likely would get less in return for Diggs. Let guys like Morse, Poyer, Hyde and some of the late signing fill in players like a Phillips go. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, he is Jameis Winston part 2 When he is allowed to play the game in his best way like 20-22 he is incredibly dynamic and has led the NFL in total TDs. You can have some turnovers. As currently constructed with the offense and what they want is a problem and the turnovers become magnified Just now, Ed_Formerly_of_Roch said: If you change coaching staffs which I'm not disagreeing with, there also will likely need to be a bit of a mini rebuild too.

They have 9 draft picks and can open upwards of 50 mil in space. This actually is the time to do a new program and refresh the vision and lineup. Diggs cap hit is too much in 24, 25 though I think he is gone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something is wrong with him, easy thing is to blame the coaching, but who knows, could be more to it. Maybe he's felt things are too easy.

BillMafia716ix Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Cold hard truth I learned this season. Josh Allen is overrated. Yes, I said it!! Overrated!! He’s the reason the offense has been struggling and we all need to stop pretending that it’s not. When he’s on his A game. He looks like one of the best QB’s in the league. Problem is the constant mistakes he makes every game, prevents him from being that guy. The trust level I have in Josh Allen is all but gone. You simply can’t count on him to be consistent game in and game out and that really hurts to say. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Applicable Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 The only first-round offensive line draft picks we've had since like the Reagan administration are Ruben Brown, Mike Williams, and Eric Wood. That’s why this team consistently sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I am not sure there is a window anymore with Allen. love all his talent and that is something to build around. however the Turnovers JUST NEVER SLOW DOWN. I mean a guy that is talked about as elite has never had a back to back game in the NFL without a turnover that is horrible. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappyjazz Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 After I heard McDermott's presser and his comment about having good practices, I am over thinking they just need to fire Dorsey. They need to clean house, top to bottom and yes, the dreaded word: rebuild. Josh ain't getting any younger and needs an offensive-minded HC to get him back on track. Sorry Josh, but thinking everything will be okay because you've "done it before" doesn't track bub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd give him 100% veto power over any OC decisions because he's still invested. the rest of them are, at best, JAGs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been pointed out numerous times and properly that the force to make Josh dink and dunk and be safe is back firing worse then just letting him be and the offense attacking. I agree with basically everything. But I take a little issue with this. I switched to the Manning cast at half time and Eli said this (paraphrasing) after an ill advised deep throw "They are giving him everything underneath. Take the yards and march down the field. Does he know he is allowed to have a 10 play drive". We heard Brady say the same thing just a few weeks ago. Fire Dorsey. Whatever. At this point we have to, we are lost. But teams are playing us in 2 high shells and our QB is just ignoring it. Hire somebody that he will listen to. Bring in Palmer as our QB coach. Bring his HS coach on board. Hire both Manning's and Brady to QB coach Josh by committee. I don't care. But at some point the guy has to listen. In the last 2 weeks 3 HoF QB's have publicly said this is a problem. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome007 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Bret Favre: 508 TD; 336 INT. HOF. Superbowl winner. Stop with the madness. Josh has TO issues, for sure, yet he remains elite and the guy you build the team around This year he has regressed but so many factors could play into that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a 250M QB. Sorry those are the cold hard facts It’s absolutely good enough! He obliterates teams! When we have an OC who knows what he’s doing and can scheme receivers open, he’s not stoppable! We rely on his talent so much that they don’t bother doing anything to improve. The offense now only works if Josh does everything 100% perfectly. You cannot wave away the amount of touchdowns he has had in his career. It’s disingenuous. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
