1. Combined record of opponents through 7 games is 17-26
2. Bills have a 3/4 record (no wins on the road and three road blowouts)
3. Spikes is gone for the season
4. Losman has struggled mightily in early outings
5. Offensive line is horrible
6. Tight ends are ineffective
7. The receivers are underutilized
8. Defensive line is terrible
9. Defensive ends in particular are mediocre
10. Linebackers are terrible
11. Secondary has been good except for last game
The positive achievements this year are very few and far between. Players that have shown improvement are Lindell, McGahee, McGee, and Josh Reed.
Adequate players are Clements, Vincent, Milloy, Adams, Moorman, Holcomb, and Shelton.
Underachievers of significant note are the entire offensive line, Campbell, Losman, Moulds, Evans, Schobel, Kelsay, Denney, Posey, Fletcher, Crowell, Anderson, Sape, Bannan, Edwards, and Wire.
Special teams generally have been adequate.
This team will be lucky to go 6-10, more likely we will be worse. Who are we going to beat? Look at the schedule:
The record of the teams we will be playing are 31-26, a lot better than the 17-26 foes we've been facing. Tom Donahoe needs to go, and he needs to go now. Mularkey and the coaching staff need to be held accountable also. There are so many numerous points, it takes too much patience to write them all down. Here's one though: Tom Donahoe is 29-42 as the general manager of the Buffalo Bills. If we go 6-10 this year (optimistic), he will be 32-48 in 5 years with no playoff appearances. Mularkey will be 15-17. A change is needed at the GM position minimally.
The honeymoon is over. We need changes. We're on a downhill spiral.
