In our draft we need a speed wr, two lbs, two d linemen, one safety .  Get a different scheme ando,play  three real lbs 

 

 

New coach 

[GolfandBills]

McDermott and Beane have to go.  It’s obvious they aren’t the right duo to win it all.  Unfortunately Terry P probably won’t do it.  This team is so poorly coached and managed

Apparently the process is more important than calling the right plays

[TFBillsfan]

As a fan, I was so pumped going into the season. Now I feel like a balloon with a small leak continuing to lose my faith in this season. 
 

Game 10 and RB’s running 8+ yards, WR’s literally having no defenders around then within 5 yards, a D that continues to struggle tackling and a DL that continues to struggle sacking the QB! 
 

I don’t see how the fanbase will tolerate simple running it back next season.

We are done this year. Call it injuries, bad coaching, bad game planning, bad drafting. Does not really matter what you call it. We can't stop any team's run game. Haven't been running the ball well for 2 weeks now. Allen is off. Play calling is off. Just a really tough year.

 

We're looking at likely being 6 and 5 after Thursday night, with the Division definitely gone and missing the playoffs a very real thing.

We've been here before though.   We'll get into the playoffs even though we're extremely flawed.  I'd rather do a mini rebuild at this point. Gotta get rid of dead weight and horrible contracts.

They can't win if they can't run the ball. Today, Tampa has stopped the run, so they can't win. 

 

Perfect example of wrong philosophy/bad coaching.

 

If a Josh Allen led team can't win without running the ball something is very wrong.

[KOKBILLS]

Pressure stats are useless with this Defense... When they don't get the QB down nothing but bad things happen...

[BananaB]

After Hoecht went down McD gave playing calling back to Babich so he can have a scapegoat

Pats defense is wayyyy better than our defense. They have great CBs, and a decent defensive line. Their only weakness is coverage LBs.

Every team in the league stops people. This defense is inexcusable and any time I say it there’s nothing but excuses. We spent a week listening to ppl

compl about the offense because they had 1 bad game. This defense has had nothing but bad games for 5 straight years. It’s a ***** joke

[Buffalo Ballin]

McD and Beane don't know how to build and coach quality defense. And Beane don't know how to scout college WR.

Joe Brady not giving James Cook the football today. Babich is just collecting free money for being useless.

 

Just F-grade from all 4 men.

[Yobogoya!]

Ray Davis is having himself a DAY on kickoff duty 

[Billsatlastin2018]

Summary:

 

1) We have a HS D who can’t stop ANYONE, let alone tackle, prevent, gives up 3rd and longs constantly;

2) We have a posse of WR4s & 5s, who can’t separate;

3) We have a HC who clenches badly when the going gets tough

4) We have a GM who thinks he’s the smartest guy in NFL history.

 

Nada to see here folks! 

[BuffaloBill]

Davis with a nice return

[The Wiz]

Nice to see ray davis doing well on kickoffs at least.

Nah, players have to play. Some of the dumb stuff the last two weeks is 100% on the players on the field. That isn't to say the coaching is good, but ultimately you cross the line you have to be accountable and a lot of these guys are making terrible terrible decisions.

You practice in practice to have reps for the game. You practice in practice to have the experience in the game. Every Sunday in my eye I see a team that is unprepared.

 

*******

Ray Davis is showing some heart right now. If this guy can get on the field as a runner and run like he does on a return wheeww

[BRH]

We stuff their 2-point conversion and going to break CBS shows the fumble and coming out of break they show the TD.

[Bray Wyatt]

How many games are won with a minus 3 turnover ratio?

Even if they win this game, the team is just not good enough to compete for a Super Bowl......not giving up on the season, but my enthusiasm is officially "curbed"😡

They’re a first round exit at best. 
 

but I already know that McBeane will use “injuries” as an excuse.
