Every year is a horrible year to be a buyer in the NFL. This isn't the NHL, big trades during the season just don't happen that often.

It seems BTJ has something new going on between his ears. That’s what I’ve been asking about, but I still don’t get it. What’s up with this guy? What changed? I need to know that before I have any idea what I’d give up for him. Does he just need a change of scenery? Why? Or is he just another prima Dona WR?

If we don’t get a WR in trade I think Brady has to go all in on the heavy packages and start throwing a lot more out of it. Get several packages of multiple TEs, Oline, RBs with Shakir out there and start throwing a LOT more to the backs and TEs. The lack of a WR who can stretch and take the top off the defense has been a consistent flaw in this team every game. We don’t need to throw bombs but the lack of a consistent intermediate passing game will kill us when the playoffs come, assuming we make it. I have to believe Beane is burning up the phones trying to get a WR but my gut tells me he thinks Gabe Davis is that guy and he’s just waiting for him to get healthy.

Anyone who is pessimistic just needs to understand that super bowls arent won in september or october, or even november. Its all about rounding into form, and being HEALTHY, come playoffs. Everything is very much on the table for this team, and we have the best player in the world.

They are currently top 4 in championship odds and were #1 for a majority of the year so far.

Nah just remove the guy who blew it...and leave everyone else in place. I would have taken Daboll at HC with Leslie at DC in a heartbeat. Imagine how differently we would have been drafting. Would have been to at least 1 SB by now.

Ways the Bills can win this game: - Hairston is ready to play and has a good game. - Defensive Ends put pressure on Mahomes and contain him. Do not let him get out of the pocket, I don't care if we get zero sacks. The pocket needs to collapse into him. - Running game is working for us. - No big errors (e.g. turnover in our own redzone, big PR/KR allowed, etc). That's it, I think we win if we can do those things.

I disagree. We're at home, it's our last season in this stadium. etc. I expect us to win.

This team is certainly not a Championship favorite team... doesnt mean it cant win... getting hot going into the playoffs and healthy is a big thing... but its really more of a dollar and dream than it is having a dominate championship roster... 2 real stars on this team, Allen and Cook... throw Dawkins in if you must... no real WR weapons... a TE weapon that is part time and pretty much always dealing with an ailment and a Defense that has no star players, no identity and really pretty much a patchwork job of mediocre drafting, overpaid FA and a secondary that needed a 34 year old Poyer to actually come in and remind us of what a form tackle is... so we ran it back... lets see what happens... but a re tool is definately in order... we keep kicking the cap down the road with pretty much zero results... it may be time to take a step back, clear some of the deck and try to re tool a bit... we also need to examine our Coordinators at a minimum... Beane must examine his player acqusition judgement both drafting and FA and change because it has been resoundingly average.... C minus stuff...

That all makes sense too. If I'm the GM I'd be willing to give up that 3rd rounder if only to get a WR that has speed and proven ability to separate and get open at the NFL level with a QB inferior to mine and an OC with less to work with than Brady. Because it will help get to the root of the Bills WR problem. Its either one of three things (or a combo?). 1) My current WRs can't separate from the defender. This is the most popular choice. 2) My OC's passing schemes and play calling is deficient. 3) My QB's decision making is faulty. Trading for Shaheed should eliminate number 1. That should open up the Bills downfield passing game and stress the defense in order to get the rest of the receiver group less attention from the defense. But if suddenly if he forgets how to get open and his production plummets from what he showed with the Saints then the problem is my OC's schemes and play calling or I've got an issue with my QBs decision making.

Bills usually can beat KC in the regular season. This is a big game for both teams. Likely the loser of this game will have a hard time winning their division. It's a fun temperature check for the season about a little under half way through for the Bills.

I worry about this deeply. My fellow Republicans have gone too far with the culture wars and “owning libs” that they are going to come back with a similar fight and it’s gonna be brutal. The liberal version of MAGA if you will. Mamdani, AOC all them. Maybe a transgender president. Republicans shoulda been working to compromise and extend the olive branch but they haven’t

Honestly, you see that happen. Guys take a hit like that and in the moment with the adrenaline they shake it off. Come the next morning, the swelling hits and you find out that something snapped. I wouldn't be shocked if he misses practice time this week.

If they don't get a boundary WR by next weeks trade deadline I think this team is just too flawed. I think if the defense stays somewhat healthy it will be improved from the early season struggles (I think the return of Mad Max plus the PED Twins and some of the week to week injuries along with McD calling the defense more will help the defense). Special teams seems to be at least a decent unit. Offense just won't be able to get it done against better defenses if they don't add a piece at WR.

For me this week will tell a lot. The patriot game was a huge downer for me and could tell there was no energy for the Falcons game. I loved the way the defense played on Sunday, and hoping we see a much better defense the rest of the way. I think the super bowl aspirations would kick up again with a win against the chiefs where they put together another good defensive game.

I guess I am in the minority (if you base this off of twitter/this message board) but I am confident going into Sunday. We can and will run the ball on them. I would actually like to see some of that same perimeter toss game plan we used last week, to stay away from Chris Jones as much as possible. Let our TE's and WR's get a hat on a hat and if the cut back is there, James can take it. Maybe Palmer plays? That would be a huge boost for the passing offense. Defense has to heat up Mahomes and CONTAIN when he goes off script. IF we can do that I think we can handle this game, but that is a big if. Brady/Allen/Offense has to have an answer to the blitz, which we know KC will use..and that has to include dump offs to the RBs, HAS TO. Hopefully we have been waiting to use that an answer for this game????

What's that have to do with your comparison to pre-cap rosters? One hit in 7 years, lol. "other teams can compete"... LOL. If you don't see the bills as competing every year I don't know what to tell you. This place is an absolute riot.

I want to say it was the offseason of 2023 when you started hearing the Bills and Josh talk about him protecting his body earlier in the year and not running as much the first half so he was in better shape in the back half of the season. I would have to search to find those clips of when it was said, but 23' & 24' he seem to take off the last 7-8 weeks in terms of play and some of his bigger moments. Could be just coincidence but I do believe to some extent that this is true.

So the thing is, I like Keon, I was hoping against hope that he would begin to progress and mature this year... more than anything, I would despise him being another 1 pick of the draft bust for us... certainly he has some time, but I feel like he is regressing and is absolutely not the threat that is concerning other defenses... now is this him, Brady or a combination of both... there is probably a bit of both there... although Brady doesnt control him getting to meetings on time... bottom line is I do not know what is wrong here... I do know that the production on a consistent basis is not there... I hope this changes.

He was a late bloomer. Blossoming when Jack Kemp arrived on the scene

Ah, the dreaded salary cap situation, that other teams can somehow compete, but we are still just treading water. You know what compensates for the salary cap?.........decent drafting, where you only have to pay the rookies the minimum, but of course, if you are way, wayyyyyyyyyy below in drafting and only really "hit" on one player in 7 drafts, well then of course the salary cap comes into play and you end up with cast-offs and scrubs from other teams to compensate. I have spoken.

Seems like the Bills, Niners, Lions and Ravens have been contending teams just decimated by injuries year to year. Which is a big reason why the Chiefs and Eagles are the dominant playoff teams of late.

He doesn't have designed routes, he's asked to find opening in the zones which he does and Mahomes is quick to find him.

We make these definitive statements based on chance outcomes where the ball happens to bounce one way. Could/should have 13 seconds easily have gone the other way? A missed open Shakir in the EZ followed by a missed FG two years ago. And then a missed spot on an Allen sneak last year... It sucks that these have all gone against us. But all these games were basically coin flips that could have gone either way. To pretend that this team has no shot and there is some sort of chasm between them and actual SB contenders is absurd. IMO it is simply a childish hissy fit- "I want my Super Bowl!!!"
