How many years did the Bills wander the QB desert, and now we want to trade an actual real, quality QB...?

He doesn't get a pass with me for past ineptitude. They don't hand out Vince Lombadi trophies for being better than EJ Manuel.

It's a lot easier to fire the OC than the $250 million quarterback. And while Allen has had his share of mistakes, it's the coach's job to put him in positions to mitigate his weaknesses, and Dorsey has been bad at it.

I have little expectation that Joe Brady is going to provide something noticeably better, but this offense has been a mess under Dorsey for the better part of a calendar year. At this point, I'm up for anything.

Great, the 5th option on the other side of the field was open briefly early on. Big moment and that's the call.

well joe brady is interim and has one year of OC NFL experience.

Two major issues on this offense is predictability and route separation. A different set of eyes should easily recognize that.

Now we find out if he's really just a fill in or worthy of a permanent spot.

It's just desparation. It's too late to change the season.

You can't come back with Sean HC + DC and Joe OC next year.

addition of quinn ignites this team on many levels. allows for 3 full lines, creates a lot more pressure for teams to defend shooters on 3 lines instead of 2, and quinn is a big offensive driver. his addition will exceed the sum of himself to the lineup.

thanks for coming.

Thanks for this, I needed a positive this morning. Thanks for reminding me Jack Quinn is still a Buffalo Sabre.

Pretty much.

I'd entertain Jim Harbaugh if he bolts Michigan and I am 100% serious.

Before watching live in person….. I had a feeling that Allen wasn’t going through reads and making progressions.

Locked in on 1 WR and force it

A torn Achilles will take a lot of time to come back from. I would pump the breaks.

It’s like the Kane hip injury.

Both are major injuries.

It’s funny how you don’t blame Allen. I was at last nights game in the end zone. Stone cold sober.

Allen on 5-6 plays alone. Missed the wide open read and forced it.

The INT on hardy was horrific. It was covered the entire time. Allen also got away with 2 other just missed INTs.

Was Dorsey perfect? No. But I blame Allen for a majority of the game.

This isn’t the 1st time. Twitter has pointed out numerous other times where he can’t go through progressions

Guess you didn't do any backbreaking Fitz! I didn't just blame Dorsey, but he's a problem and easier to get rid of a Coach.

today is yet another reminder that when a coach is questioned about a coordinator one week and expresses confidence in that coach, the next week could be completely different.

Last week was "confident"
Last night was "confident but"

Ken Dorsey is one major, reoccurring problem, and this offense should not look like this for this long.

>>> Ken Dorsey could conceivably get fired. Hell, as early as today but I still don't think it's going to change their two biggest problems:

1- I think the head coach may have lost the locker room, completely over accountability (lack of his own)

2- See number one

Would be blown away if Sean was canned in-season but, it keeps going like this, think there's a fair chance on Black Monday.

Making himselft DC might be saving him. Who could you even name interim HC?

They arrested that dude who killed Adam Johnson and charged him with manslaughter.

He's a HC that needs a good OC that can cover that side of the Ball and he's a horrible Game Manager

How that tragedy happened was not normal. Never seen a skate that high unless its some figure skating.

I love the first comment:


My DAWG. Up early, breaking down film, perfecting his pitch for OC when Brandon Beane calls today.

I know it's easy to armchair as a commentator, but that wouldn't be the idea I would hate the most.

Bobby Washington has been a DC and so has Boras. Boras actually has HC experience way back when.

From the Sabres tonight, I know they'll probably lose to the buzzsaw that is the Bruins, but I want to see effort and sense of urgency.

They've played 15 games thus far and had a unacceptable effort in 5 of those games. That's 1/3 of the games and they're in 7th place in their division. They've got guys making big boy money on that roster now and this is teetering on unacceptable.

I agree 100% it was reckless at a minimum
