Josh Allen hasn't lost it and can still go nuclear as he's demonstrated more than once this year. James Cook has emerged as an Elite RB who our OC is still trying to figure out how to utilize correctly. Dalton Kincaid has emerged as a borderline Elite TE and Josh's most trusted weapon and he wasn't on the field in Houston. 2 games back with Davis and Palmer and Josh is trying to reestablish chemistry... which looks close to there with Gabe. The 2025 draft looks like a HR. We're going to be in the playoffs and there's a very real possibility that for a team that's dealt with half a decade of playoff pressure that playing on the road might benefit them. Cole Bishop looks like an Elite Safety. We still have Josh Allen. Josh Allen Did I mention we have that Josh Allen guy?

Well he got zero targets lol

Vegas still likes our chances of representing the AFC

You mean to say that comparing a player to a Hall of Famer for going 4/90/1TD in a single game, after 9 games of providing absolutely nothing before that was to be getting just a *smidge* carried away?

Silver lining: We held onto our draft capital through the trade deadline. The next GM will have a decent amount of picks to work with.

Some good film breakdown here…

Someone give me hope I guess with Allen, and if we can get relatively healthy in a completely open AFC anything can happen? 🤷

I still think McD is a good coach but I also think this whole team needs a reset. Only one I would keep is the oline coach.

When I think of this season, the word “crazy”doesn’t come to mind first. It’s more likely *****. Yeah, ***** or bull####.

I'm just baffled that these guys, especially McD, that think that this is a winning strategy, turning the most physically talented quarterback I've ever seen into a game manager. You can see Josh isn't happy playing this style of football. I'm no coach, but IMO you turn him loose, surround him with talent and let the other team see if they can catch up. Everybody eats is just bullsh!t. If I was Allen, I would play out my contract and move on from these idiots. Watching this style of play is just frustrating. Brady is a bum, and McD is just as bad. I don't even want to get into Beano.

Is anything fun these days.

I get it, and I can’t say it never affects me into the night on those night games. But for the most part, since marrying my bad a** wife, having two incredible boys (2 1/2 and 13 months) and just realizing how blessed I am for that changed my whole perspective. I learned to detach from the game, and while I still bleed Bills colors, I just find it easier to just let it go relatively quickly and appreciate what matters more - family, love, health, and another day alive to enjoy it all. My opinions and passion for the Bills are still strong, I just don’t let them interfere with life and mental wellness.

I like this suggestion. I actually enjoy having Thursday night football and I do like the PrimeVision alternate broadcast that allows us to see all the routes and DB’s. I wish that was available for more broadcasts.

This isn’t a defense of Beane as he has definitely been worse the last couple years, but this teams biggest issue is still inconsistency. Year over year we’ve seen they have the ability to go toe to toe with and beat the best teams in the league, but year over year we’ve seen them far too often show up unprepared and out played in games they should have no business losing. That’s a coaching issue which has been persistent for much longer than the roster building issues.

Now I close my eyes And I wonder why I don't despise Now all I can do Love what was once So alive and new But it's gone from your eyes I'd better realize

That only applies to before the Trade Deadline. Following the Trade Deadline, all players regardless of their status as a vested veteran are subject to waivers. That said, it remains to be seen if he is waived. ProFootballTalk seems to think that they won't move him until the off-season and may potentially trade him.

It’s all of them. McD dictates the conservative offense and disappointing defense. Beane does what he can to add talent within the salary cap constraints but instead of signing one good guy at WR (or any position), he brings in 3 or 4 mediocre ones for probably the same money. His draft track record is horrible in the earlier rounds. You can’t pin it all on him though as it’s not like he’s picking 4th round graded players in the first. (Ex: like the TJ Grahams and Eric Flowers of the past). Many early round draft picks don’t pan out. Brady was effective initially but may be dealing with McD’s direction to be conservative offensively and not have many called QB runs. However, his play calling is often suspect and he doesn’t put the players in great positions to succeed. I know I’m sick of seeing just about every possession start with Cook off tackle. It’s great when he gets 5+ yards but when he’s stuffed, then it’s obvious passing on 2nd & 3rd downs. Don’t they have a quality control coach on this team? “ Hey, Joe, we run the same play at the start of every possession. Maybe we should mix it up a little.” Then there’s running similar plays 3 straight times without getting a first down. Does Brady think he’ll fool the defense because they’d never expect running the same play 3 times in a row? That running the QB sneak unsuccessfully to the left each time in last season’s KC playoff game was so dumb. They’ll never expect us to run it a 5th time.

No it wasnt a misfire. It was thrown where it should have been thrown. Palmer was streaking down the 10 yard line. Thats where the pass was going. Palmer adjusted his route upfield after the ball was already in the air. Had Palmer continued his route where he was initially going then he would have boxed out the safety. If he went upfield to the endzone then the safety is in prime position. Palmer screwed the pooch there. Slow the video down and watch it. Knox might have been his first read. If thats the case then Allen long moved on before Knox was even in the picture. You think a QB should stay on the first read for how long?

No it's not but it's been a lot worse than it is now.

You’re completely delusional if you think this team is capable of getting hot in the postseason, when it gets harder. We have based on EPA the highest regression in postseason performance vs regular season performance of any team in a three year period as far back as it registers. The Giants were loaded. They were potentially great teams that just didn’t gel at first. Buffalo does not have a potentially great team with this roster. Not any history of big performance in big games.

Oh and btw Josh had Palmer. Palmer screwed up. Play it in slow mo. Palmer is running across the 10 yardline when Josh started that throw. Had he continued his direction, he would have flashed in front of the safety and caught that ball... or at least he would have been in position to. Instead he changed his route direction and went upfield while the ball was already in the air. This put him at the 5 and allowed the safety to easily get in front of him for the INT. As much as people want to cry about Knox being open, so was Palmer. Palmer just messed up. Oh please. If he threw to Gabe and he dropped it or whatever, then everyone on the board would be crying that "he has to take what the defense gives him" " he should take the easier throw" "Hawes was open" People cry no matter what.

Normally I would agree. I like Aiyuk and I rooted for him to get his deal. That said, I feel like he mailed it in afterwards. It's been a year since his injury and we've heard little in the way of him returning. I think he likes collecting those massive game checks while simply "rehabbing." Gut feeling - I wouldn't touch him. Multiple Super Bowl appearance and very competitive rosters over the years.
