Again though, Andy Reid is the best at what he does

So was Daboll

So if you don’t have an elite play caller, you need to have elite weapons. The Bills have neither

- sbroads24

I don't agree here, Bills have some elite players, and some very good players. How much is bad play calling or bad QB play the last 4gms. Offense was humming when Josh was on, not so much now.

In this draft year its a hard pass for me. IF we are a 10-15 pick then sure.

On offense they have 2. Allen and Diggs.

Oh, I'm not saying he needs to be replaced or anything like that, but even watching Kansas City yesterday, which absolutely wasn't their best day, you saw guys wide open for some easy chunk gains. Juju Smith-Schuster isn't that much better than Gabe Davis as this point in his career. Neither is Valdes-Scantling.

It could just be the case that Dorsey is just getting tunnel vision and going to the plays he's comfortable with, which is probably common for first year play callers. I mean when is the last time we even saw a trick play like a flea-flicker or even a halfback pass? I'm not necessarily clamoring for those, but usually seeing something like that is indicative of an offensive coordinator that's in a groove. Dorsey simply isn't right now.

I get the idea that Dorsey and josh isnt a great personality mix.

Probably need someone soothing/buddy buddy , like daboll

I don't know. I still go back to playcalling. The only weapons they "lost" were a declining Cole Beasley and a retired Emmanuel Sanders. If you want to argue that the trust factor between Allen and Beasley is bigger than is being made, I can listen to that, but the fact of the matter is, either Allen doesn't trust anyone other than Diggs, or Dorsey just can't scheme anybody open. There should be far more "easy" gains of 6+ yards than there are.

Declining Beasley gave them 82 catches. Added a dimension to their game that is largely gone now.

If it's a sign and trade for Horvat there isn't a prospect in the system I wouldn't trade. Vancouver will almost certainly want Savoie, and i'd help pack his bags for Horvat.

The Chychrun thing scares me. That's just an incredible amount of surguries with undoubtedly more to come every offseason until he retires.

Nothing against McKenzie, he adds a different element. He's almost the opposite of Beasley.

Losing Crowder early in the season seems like something you should be able to find a solution to.

The Tage/Dahlin show. Dahlin blew someone up against Jersey just after Vic's goal. It was a doozey. I went nuts. Words gotta be getting out around the NHL: this guy will demolish you if your head's down.

The only "upgrade" Crowder had over Beasely was that he is 4 years younger. The chemistry between Allen and Beasley was nothing to sneeze at. At the end of the day, the only issues Beasley "caused" was pissing off a segment of the fanbase, which was largely irrelevant. Moving on from him wasn't necessarily the wrong move, but not getting a suitable replacement for him was. Crowder was a downgrade, and it was evident from the first week of training camp. poop, most people were surprised he made the active roster in Week 1.

Who scheduled a Sabres game at the same time as a bills/Patriots Thursday night football game?

Should move the start time to 6 pm

Crowder 100 games played 415 catches 28 tds
Beasley 136 games played 487 catches 28 tds

Very even stats for 2 small possession receivers.

Not a downgrade, aside from the continuity with josh


Also. The Bill's were sick of his anti vax stance.
Made everything more difficult and brought unneeded tension to the fanbase/ team

Crowder did next to nothing when he played here. Name will be quickly forgotten.

Him and McKenzie were splitting time. Crowder was targeted 9 times in 4 games. Never had time to get into a rhythm with Allen
