Bills Suck Again; Davis Departs

The Bills sucked again this week, managing to go down 28-3, before apparently stabilizing things and making it a respectable 31-20 loss - at home, to the San Diego  Los Angeles Chargers. I want to say that Phillip Rivers completed like 15 of his first 16 passes (I did not watch the game as it wasn't on locally and my son had a youth game anyhow). Rivers fast start was against a pass defense that included veteran cornerback Vontae Davis, who was one of the Bills' top off season free agent signings. Davis was inactive in Week 1, started Week 2 and then retired at halftime. Shades of Anquan Boldin from last year . What is it about these Bills that makes people want to walk away from the Bills? Is the fan base next? (SI pointed out that Kyle Orton left the Bills a few years back in similar fashion, not to mention Doug Marrone [who now coaches possibly the best team in the AFC] taking the money and running.)

Also, apparently McDermott took over defense play calling responsibilities from coordinator Leslie Frazier, which helped lead to the second-half improvement. This wouldn't seem to bode well for Frazier, the former Vikings head coach (21-32-1) who was hired by the Bills prior to last year. Is he even going to make the trip to Minnesota this week?

Next two weeks we are at Minnesota and Green Bay, so I'm expecting an 0-4 start. Maybe we can get Tennessee at home the following week, but I have no idea. Josh Allen seemed to play better than Peterman ever has at QB, so he's likely the guy from here on out. Let's hope he improves enough to lead us to some wins.
