Even if that happened, this offense still doesn't improve enough for them to win consistently. Like it or not, this team goes as its defense goes, and this defense got exposed at DT the past two weeks. Improving that should be priority #1, otherwise, even playoffs aren't a guarantee.

a lot of it is coaching, and bad coaching


the amount of times we have 2 or 3 te's on the field with no intention of running the ball


it's like they are trying to get cute, instead of simple football


running the ball well in the 3rd quarter, and go 3 and out to start the 4th on passes and let the eagle drive for 10 minutes with the ball, just like miami did in the 3rd quarter last week


knox was making plays, now targeted what twice yesterday?

in brown and beasley you have 2 wr's on pace for over 1900 yards this season

this offense should be getting over 20 points a game consistently

The Bills are one of the teams in the league that blitz the least.

Edmunds has been okay in pass coverage. He was never supposed to be a run-stuffer. If you're linebacker is your best tackler against the run, it means your defense isn't very good.

What do u mean?
LBs lead every single team in tackles every year
Generally speaking,
the D-line takes up the blockers leaving the LBs free to come up & make the tackle

no, just don't need a 21 year old calling the plays

he needs to learn the game first

I can confirm that your opinion is quite ridiculous
- jdfitz77



They really did botch this whole mess. They apologized for serving at a prison, which was nothing to apologize for in the first place, and then they apologized for apologizing. They managed to take one of the most polarizing topics in today's political climate, and piss off both sides. That's a hilariously new level of idiocy.

As much as i like Knox,
and talked about us getting him before the draft,
drops have been an issue with him

And as far as play calling goes...
i don’t think ppl realize that Allen’s continued struggles are going to dictate what Dabol feels he can handle as far as the play calling goes

Sure, but the whole thing is dumb

And weren’t they serving the GUARDS, and not the detainees??

Wouldn’t that mean the so called “snowflakes” were actually SUPPORTING LAW ENFORCEMENT???

no doubt he has had a few drops recently

but beasley should be targeted like pats targeted WW and JE
not getting enough quick passes


I guess I am ticked they came out and blamed the O coach, really that was a team loss that falls on the head coach, the O coach and the D coach

it was an embarrassment for the last 35 minutes

Knox had drive-killing drops in 3 of the past 3 games coming into yesterday. Allen is still missing some open receivers, and has missed some big throws that could have kept drives alive. The deep ball throw to Foster might have been worse than the two overthrows this year. Coaching is part of it, but there have been plays left on the field. As much as I defend Allen, the reason this offense is struggling is mostly on him. I'm willing to let them work through it, though, because a franchise quarterback, if he gets good enough, masks a lot of deficiencies.

No, they apologized for serving at the prison after social media backlash. Only yesterday, during or after the game, and Deep South Taco throwing all sorts of shade at them, did they apologize for the apology.

If that’s your basis for a convo,
then you’re at the wrong place...
AREN’T YOU??

And just to play along (although I’m sure I’ll regret this)...
Lloyd’s was serving the employees,
and NOT the detainees... correct?
So doesn’t that make them PRO law enforcement?

It did...until they apologized for it. That's when they really got in trouble.

Conveniently didn’t answer the question

Clearly you’re on the side of law enforcement

Why does serving the guards & other employees upset you?

He's upset at them for apologizing, and pandering to social media whiners...as he should be.

You are far too uneducated about this to even be commenting. Once they got backlash for serving there, they issued about the smartest “apology” one could ever read on their Facebook page. They apologized for feeding the guards (who aren’t prison guards at all, they are ICE detention officers). Also the “prison” is a holding center for federally charged aliens facing felonies and deportation (ie the worst of the worst). You do you, guy.

Who the bigger “snowflake” though?
Lloyd’s for trying to smooth over the situation

Or the guy who comes on a hockey message board upset about it? 😂😂😂

Great. I’ve just joined Club Fitz. It’s the place where cogent, perhaps opinionated, but verifiable arguments go to die in a sea of utter nonsense. My bad.

They were trying to smooth over a situation that became political when it really wasn’t at all

And YOU are the one acting like a snowflake whining about a situation that isn’t a big deal whatsoever

As I explained earlier, it's the bolded. Apologizing makes you look weak, and ultimately hurts you, especially when it comes to something that upsets the social media mob.

Take the Chik-Fil-A fiasco of however many years ago. They not only didn't apologize for donating to whatever-that-charity-was, they doubled down on it. At worst, their brand name didn't even take a hit. It probably got even stronger despite being on the "wrong" side of popular opinion.
