Josh will play out his final years for the Rams or Niners back in his home state., or maybe he will retire early and just enjoy life outside of football.

Josh has a $209 dead cap hit, Bills would not be able to put a team on the field.

[BVBILLS]

Sad thing is, I doubt any changes will be made anytime soon. I would be shocked.

Did everyone feel the same after realistically on the field dominating the Chiefs and Panthers?  It's one game guys.  You aren't going to fire a coach and GM halfway into a 6-3 season.

Easily. Another question, are we going to do anything different on offense to surprise them? Not a snowball's chance in hell.

There is nothing different to do except punt on first, second or third down.

[CirclnWagons]

The Bills as an organization have largely bucked the trend of quick, athletic and competent wide receivers, instead choosing sluggish, sometimes awkward candidates with poor route running and bad hands and it isn’t paying the dividends I suppose some hoped it would. I really do hate it for Josh who is having his prime years waisted by an organization that absolutely refuses to get him any help. If only the NFL allowed a period where teams could trade players and assets to try and fill obvious holes in their roster. If only……..

the team seems to be a group of nice guys. hate to say this...this is a soft team.  the entire organization is soft and fragile.  

 

I hated McDermott's demeanor in his post game press conference.  He should be pissed off.  His team is not playing hard, or with any kind of mental or physical edge in a lot of these games.

KJ Hamler should be in for a workout soon.

We played defense differently thanks to the injuries.  With hoecht they were bigger and gave different looks on 3rd downs.  
 

yesterday I don’t recall Dorian Williams ever even playing defense and they stayed in nickel and got run over again.  
 

the injuries on defense are unbelievable.  I am dying to know why they never went base defense a little yesterday or got Williams involved at end on third downs.  
 

This was a totally different defense from the previous two weeks.

They are definitely hard to watch at times. Very inconsistent mediocre team right now. My biggest issue is most of us fans knew what the issue was…..lack of “real” weapons on offense and too many resources put into a mediocre defense!

 

Offensively it feels like the Chan Gailey years. Offense was rolling at the beginning but once defensive coordinators figured out how to stop the offense we have no answers. Doesn’t take much to stop us……load up to stop the run and play man on our receivers.

Or.

 

Kyle Shanahan’s time could be up in SF.  I would love Shannan here as coach running the offense.  He can get four furloughed postal workers to run a good offense and score points.

 

if you gave Shanahan Allen, cook, Kincaid and a good offensive line he will turn over every stone finding wr to do what he wants.

 

i don’t think this is the year the shanahan regime is ousted in SF but it’s getting close.  
 

tomlin, shanahan, McDermott, harbaugh are all veteran coaches who are walking the right rope this year.  I don’t think there is anyway McDermott goes anywhere in a year leading into opening a new stadium however.

I think Terry had a bad interview with Shanahan.  I suspect McDungy is safe, unless Josh puts his foot down (and probably demands Daboll).  But Beane … I’m there.  It’s time.  The state of the WR position is a disgrace.

Watching Josh stand up press conferences and fall on his sword after these games is pretty stale. I wish we could see Beane up there and asked some real questions! Now that would be fun

Watching Josh repeatedly standing in the pocket looking downfield, progressing through reads with nowhere to go with ball is frustrating.

 

Look at his demeanor when he comes off the field. This isn’t a guy who’s loving the game right now. Everything’s a struggle.

Palmer is better than Hollins and it's not close if you look at their careers.

Maybe 

but one actually stays on the field healthy, and it ain’t Palmer 

[dpberr]

Stale is a great word to describe it.  The defense knows what's coming.  Miami's defense was playing with zero hesitation yesterday. 

 

Happened with Dorsey too.  Dorsey's offense was good until the defenses caught up to it.  Bills went on heater last year in part because defenses had no film on Brady's offense, especially the use of the extra lineman.  Now they do.

Palmer has been relatively durable over his career with far greater usage than Hollins has. It's easy to stay available when all you are doing is getting Special Teams snaps most games.

Parcells would challenge the players who are struggling in practice.  He would make practice really hard for them.  They wouldn't have a second of the day without him pestering them about something.  Parcells would call players out in post game PC's for sure though.  He always did it.   

 

Parcells would never allow a team to take the approach the bills take vs the run which is what drives me nuts.

 

There are no more Parcells in coaching and the league is totally different.

SF would be insane to move on from Shanahan.

I agree but its been a decade and at some point its time for a new voice.  I don't see it happening but it will at some point.

A loss against the Bucs and maybe they'll start to lose the locker room.
