Well, I didn't think honestly, we took advantage of
opportunities tonight. I really did the balls to the 40-yard
line.
You know, we're 144 in the red zone.
So
we got to figure that part of it out.
Almond is comment from Sean McDermott, after the 9:46 loss
to New England on Monday night. The question was, if you didn't
hear it, and if you're not watching because we had
the words on the screen
is Brian table, doing a good enough job to set the offense
up for Success.
It wasn't focused on Monday night. It was General.
You can ask a question like that
anything other than yes
is no Chris. Yeah, I got you. Is he doing a good enough job
to set the offense up for Success? Yes, he is.
Why would you ask me that
right? When the answer is we didn't take advantage of
opportunities tonight. We have the ball in the 40-yard line on
you know, average start of our possessions four times in
the Red Zone.
144. Didn't do a good enough job. That's no
that's know anything other than yes is no and that's That's,
that's a bad sign for behind a bowling forward. Yeah, and
well, it's been a tough year. I mean, there's no
doubt. But I mean, it goes again, a little bit too. Like,
what we were talking about yesterday after the game, when
you stay the same, you're getting worse than the NFL. In
fact, they got worse. I don't know if they even stayed
the same.
And I don't, I mean they lost the guy in John Brown, who can
Alicia run and stretch a defense out and they brought
Emmanuel Sanders in. So like de-ball certainly not been good
as far as good as compared to last year.
I still think it's a good offense. There's no doubt, you
know, there's a lot of things to Can what he does in the pass
game. Does it seem a little less creative than last year?
Yeah, I won't lie. It does. I feel like last year. We saw
more movement before the snaps and a few more fresh ideas.
I know Brian tables. Been going through some personal struggles
in his own life, or he lost his grandparents who were
the basically, the people who raised them. I'm sure that
affected them to a degree. There's no doubt, you know, but
then also
hey the head coach has got to step into and start being let
Lee. Let's get the Run game going in training camp. Let's
not just make a joke. A Shaolin Centric all the time. Now,
that's where I would, you know, defend Brian De ball a little
bit.
And then yeah, 144 in the Red Zone. Yeah. In the windiest
game. And the NFL we've seen the last two years. Okay. That
happens. Oh, against the best defense in football.
Oh, against the best coach in the history of football and not
letting team scored touchdowns, you know, so yes, I think
you're right. Is answer saying he's not a little underwhelming
there.
But at the same time, I think there were some other
circumstances that You know, he can blame on himself that were
part of the game on Monday night. I mean Josh Alan gave
the ball perfectly to Matt Breda in his chest. He dropped
it.
That's what happens on cold nights. To, in fact, the series
before that. I think we saw the Patriots player dropped
the toss Damien Harris on the third down. So that happened a little
bit unlucky there.
You know, I think there's a number of things there.
Yeah, Brian table. It has not been his best year. I'm not
going to not going to sit here and lie about that. But I think
there's there's some other things at play here that are
affecting some of that.
I'm like the biggest thing too. Is this
the talent and buffalo and the offensive side of the ball
is so overrated. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous.
It's Josh, Howard and Stefon Diggs and just a bunch of other
guys. That's all it is. They're the only two blue chip players
on the offense. There's nothing else.
And that's where I think people got to get that out of their
mind to. It's the Josh Allen Show and a lot of quarterbacks
in football, could not make that offense work,
but he's so freakishly talented and he does He's kind of
fooling us AKA almost like Aaron Rodgers, only his career,
we go there a Super Bowl Contender.
You know why? Because one guy is just a magic man. And
I think that's my rant there for that discussion there. Sorry
well, but but they played so well. Last year that nothing,
and that's why it becomes so difficult one year to the next
because
what has a team truly done to improve itself, if you're not
getting better, you're getting worse and the bills.
I think believed it was enough to just kind of tread water.
Well,
When you give defensive coaches, seven months to go to
work, that's right. Trying to figure out how to throw
a wrench into the next big thing in the NFL. You better be
working on ways to counter it and you better be coming up
with different ideas
and different players
who can maybe take you to the next level or put you in
a position. Where you Zig when they zag based upon all
the zigging you did the prior year. And, you know, one last point
about day
ball, before we take a break. And this is another reason why
it is an ominous. Out for McDermott, Shereen Williams
pointed out last night on PFT p.m. And we had this
discussion,
McDermott basically said the same thing about Rick Dennison
a few years back and Denison.
Doink it right, right. Make it. So,
you know, I doubt that. We're going to have
a Sunday at 1:20 in the afternoon firing of
of Brian De bois-guilbert because the
bills have already had their bye week,
but he is on notice Chris. And these next five games become.
Uncle from an offensive performance
and, you know, I mean Sean, McDermott was
he's kind of on that trajectory
of being among the top coaches. And we've had a lot of
I love pools and discussion. Yeah, about
who's making more than 10 million in the NFL by my count.
I think there's eight. There's a lot of debate, a lot of
people don't want to accept the idea that other money gets
funneled to these guys, even though it does
McDermott's, not in the 10 million dollar per year club.
And we do you, these guys are competitive. The ones who
aren't in it want to be in it and McDermott was on the path.
He gets he has another year like you had last year.
He's one of the top coaches in the NFL. It's that Super Bowl
gets out when he's one of the top dogs and
you know, the plugs being pulled out
from the, the rise of McDermott star. Wait, you're right to
a degree. He's still a phenomenal football coach. I mean
phenomena, but he's not, he's not in the 10 million. He's not
getting the 10 minutes. Oh, no, here, you're not, you know, and
listen, I think where they dropped the ball and I know
even preseason.
I said, I don't think Buffalo can be as good as last year,
not the way they played last. Year, where it's just your
depending on one guy to just make magic all the time.
It's just too hard,
you know, you got to have versatility in your offense.
I mean again, we saw Kansas City just light the world on
fire for two years. What a teams do
they continue to study them. See the gather more informations
that mean now damn, the Kansas City offense that was
Unstoppable two years ago. It can do it. Can't do jack diddly
squat again. Defenses are all over it.
They got to reinvent themselves.
So I think there's that aspect and McDermott I think needs to,
you know, in the office and of course offseason look at it and
go
man. Realistically. Can I ask the offense to be successful
with the way we play? There's got to be another element to
defend and right now the only element to defend is Josh
Allen, laser beams or Josh Allen running the ball.
He's the best runner on the team and the best throw in the team
and that's just not going to work. And again, I will say
this to and Brian De balls defense. Hey, let's also give
him credit for what Josh. Allen is.
Got to do that to
the whole world thought. Josh Allen was the dumbest pick in
the world and he's too raw and crazy and he's brought him in
to where now not anybody in the planet can argue. He's
definitely one of the three or four. Best quarterbacks in
football. You just can't argue it
anymore. So de-ball deserves a lot of credit for that too. But
yeah, they got issues up there.
They do. And I don't know if they can get to the Super Bowl
playing this way. As we've seen. There's some, there's
some things that worry about about their football team.
