Lost in all the squawking about the defense is that the Bills offense scored ONCE in the second half…and that was on the first drive after the kickoff. In fact, they scored ONCE in the first half ….also on the first drive. Something is really wrong with this offense! 

 

Truth, this is after putting up 3 points in the first last week. Lots to unpack over the bye, and I've given up hope they're keeping the good stuff on wraps.

 

It's a week to week league, get back to winning the week. I have no choice but to have faith in TPTB. Unless this is Dorsey redux and the crew mutinies.

 

I love Cook's emotion. He signed this big contract and he still wants more. He wants to win, and he knows for the Bills to have any hope of that he has to be a big part.

 

I am hoping Beane, McDermott, and Allen have a heart to heart while coming to Jesus moment and they go all in and made a big move, f'k them #1 picks, whatever it takes (Rogers looking at Stark... whatever it takes).

Daboll was heavily involved in the decision process - go find the draft recap / video that came out after drafting Josh when Schoen and Beane were interviewed on the process leading up

 

I will not "go find the draft recap / video that came out after drafting Josh when Schoen and Beane were interviewed on the process leading up". But thanks for the homework assignment to back up your claim. Instead, I'll take you at your word.  With that said, I'm not so sure it's commonly accepted that Daboll made the Josh pick.

It’s also telling that they started BOTH halves with a score but never threatened again. That shows that they caught the Falcon’s defense flat footed both times. But after the defense warmed up….nothing!

Does this include Defensive Coordinator position!? 

all options are open i believe 

 

But seriously McDermott should take over play calling,  he did it with Frazier

How much deeper can our safeties play? Most NFL stadiums have a big wall in the back of the end zone.

The refs wouldn’t let him snap it - he tried to run up to the line for a quick snap but they wouldn’t let him start the play.

 

Why, did the Bills substitute? If not, then being prevented from snapping is blatant shaving/interference. If so, then the coaches are out of touch with had just taken place, and needed to immediately recall any subs and told Allen to hurry. 

 

Nevertheless, I feel like Allen rattled off a couple phrases of unnecessary protection/play adjustments AFTER the team was set...

They even noted pregame that Brady told the commentators that they needed to essentially use a different playbook with Kincaid out. 

Which probably was going to involve Palmer more because he can at least get separation according to Joe Marino.  And then Palmer went down on the 2nd series, so there goes that plan.

 

Meanwhile, doesn’t seem like Shavers is anywhere near being on the same page as Josh, and Keon is just blanketed all day.

I was really worried about Palmer right after the injury.  If he's back for the Panthers, that really is big.  I thought Milano's might be more long-term also.

 

 

I would not hold out hope there.  Basically by calling Jones and Palmer "week to week" and the other guys "day to day", he's saying that Palmer (and Jones) have the longer-term injuries.  Which is what you expect for Palmer's high ankle sprain.

This loss is on Joe Brady.  Joe Marino makes the case
