Kellen Moore Under Fire After Disastrous Week 1 Loss: "The Blame Starts with Him!"
After a devastating Week 1 loss, Kellen Moore is facing intense backlash from fans, analysts, and former players alike, as many are pointing the finger at the offensive coordinator for the team's lackluster performance. The high expectations placed on Moore’s offense were dashed in a game that saw missed opportunities, poor play-calling, and a lack of creativity in key moments.
“The blame starts with Kellen,” said one frustrated analyst. “He had the tools, the weapons, and the opportunity to make an impact, but the game plan just wasn’t there. The offense looked lost, and that’s on him.”
Despite boasting a talented roster, Moore’s game plan failed to ignite the offensive spark that was expected. His decisions in the second half, including the failure to adjust in critical situations, left fans questioning whether he’s the right fit for the job. With the team struggling to execute and the pressure mounting, Moore’s future as the offensive coordinator is now in serious doubt.
While many acknowledge that it’s only Week 1, the disappointing loss has raised huge concerns about Moore’s ability to deliver at the highest level. Fans are demanding immediate changes in strategy if the team hopes to avoid a disastrous season.
The next few weeks will be critical for Moore and the team’s future success—can he bounce back, or will the backlash continue to grow?
5x Pro Bowl DE Joey Bosa silenced doubters, 'played his tail off' in Bills' debut
Joey Bosa looked both fresh and motivated during his Buffalo Bills' debut, and defensive coordinator Bobby Babich liked what he saw from the veteran throughout the course of the 41-40 season-opening victory.
The 30-year-old Bosa was on the field for 69 percent of defensive snaps in his first-ever NFL game playing for a team other than the Los Angeles Chargers.
"Joey Bosa played his tail off, man. Played his tail off," said defensive coordinator Bobby Babich one day after the Week 1 win. "Plays hard. Very intentional. Wants to be really good."
Not only does Bosa want to be really good, he has been really good when healthy. He recorded at least 10.5 sacks in four of his first six seasons.
Over his last three years with the Chargers, Bosa averaged only 4.7 sacks per season while being limited to 28 total regular season appearances due to injuries. The Chargers released him as a salary cap casualty this past offseason, and the Bills were quick to give him a one-year contract reportedly worth $12.6 million.
When a calf strain sidelined the five-time Pro Bowl selection during springtime OTAs, the skeptics took the opportunity to criticize the signing. By the time training camp rolled around, however, Bosa was ready to go and appeared reinvigorated on multiple levels.
Babich reiterated the Bills' intention to manage Bosa's reps in an attempt to keep him as fresh as possible throughout the season.
"We'll make sure we know where Joey's at physically and make sure we target exactly where we want it," said Babich.
He was credited with only two solo tackles and one forced fumble against the Ravens, but his impact on the game extended well beyond those numbers.
"He was rushing really well yesterday," said Babich. "It's too bad he didn't end up with a sack. He affected the passer, that's for sure."
