I said last week that we were pretty much in must win territory. Now we are in must win territory. Honestly, I can't see this team making it past the divisional round anyways. There are some WC games we probably wouldn't get past depending on how things played out. I almost want to say we are in must lose territory now for better draft picks and a purge reset. Beane will probably still be here though so... As for the game itself... Pitts is physical. Not quite like last week but physical. This is the type of game that I could go in expecting to lose because of it. At the same time, those tend to be the type of games we turn around in at least for that week.

No. This is not the guy we need.

A tale as old as PPP: You guys post here too much! And before you know it you too are posting here at the crack of dawn on a daily basis. Step back teef. Go outside. Touch grass. 😂

I won’t watch a movie because if someone else’s opinion and statues. This is what’s happening right now. Soak it in peeps.

Even the Raiders act when necessary… Our owner could give a ***** about winning football games.

Tearing down statues of founding fathers? It's rare. - teef

I like how nursesclothing is posting clips that have nothing to to with the thread or film at all. All this rage about something people haven’t even seen. Perfect.

Relax, it's just a football game. I'm sure you have far more important things in your life to worry about. Now me, not so much. I have no life. I'll be an emotional wreck all week.

How the bills are a favorite in any game when they're mediocre is beyond me. Take the Steelers to win outright

If our pass rush is DOA now, we aren't making the playoffs so it does not matter.

Beane and former Bills

It’s both coaching and talent. The team has incessantly invested in Defense over the McD Beane era and it has never been a D that can dominate a meaningful game or stretch of games in the clutch part of any season. It has been on the back of their QB that they’ve won. So when a team invests so heavily in some aspect of its team and the results don’t change much there is a severe flaw in the organization and that’s not even getting into the offensive regression, which is more concerning, because we know the talent they have at QB1 and RB1. McD talks about growing and learning all the time but they have not learned that the D they play is never going to be dominant. They haven’t learned that small, undersized LBs are how you stop quick teams but also how you get pummeled by physical ones. This has been an issue since the Bills hired McD - see Titans under Vrabel. The complexity in the backend doesn’t allow the players to be aggressive and the results of people who know the system well enough to start doesn’t lead to some amazing result. So for what use is the complexity? To give up 3rd and longs on the regular? This team has never gotten after the QB on the regular no matter what they invest in it and certainly not with hand picked, home grown guys. It’s pretty clear that this is going to come in better and worse variations as we’ve seen over the years but at its core it’s still the same flaws. I don’t have faith in the Pegulas to hire another regime but the limitations of this one are very clear. I’ve been hesitant to be too critical but this is the worst version of the Bills we’ve seen in quite a while, and the team unraveled against a physical opponent in a way that signals bigger issues. Also, the absolute stubbornness to not give the tackles help last game was dumbfounding. But look - we can point the finger at Brady and he deserves some blame but the D is an absolute disaster given the investments. Injuries you say? Sure but injuries happen to all teams - this is about the D they run and how it sucks no matter what talent they amass. Just bc there was a 2 game run with Hoecht where it looked good doesn’t mean that would have been the result with him all year and if one guy makes that much of a difference why wasn’t he the most coveted FA in football? I refuse to think that was the key to this Defense being good.

Yes of course. We should mortgage the future for more defensive players. McDermott doesn't focus enough on offense, and why should he? After all, our receivers are world class and our OL is young. Josh getting help should be an afterthought.

It makes sense as the Steelers as always start falling apart around this time of the year. I can’t tell you how many acquaintance friends I have at the gym or favorite sports bars, and to a person love their team, and universally are begging Mr. Rooney to fire Tomlin. It just seems from the outside his voice is like noise as in the teacher from Charlie Brown.

We tend to play well after losses. I think we win this one.

Chip Kelly did fine at Oregon, but he’s just not an NFL coach. What works in college doesn't work in the NFL. As far as Carroll, he’s taking over a mess, and a mismanaged organization. He can get it together, but needs three years. He went to back to back SBs with the Seahawks, and the National Championship with USC. He’s one of the few that can do it in college and the pros. He’s getting long in the tooth, but he made a bad hire in Kelly.

And btw....Trump was right. Double bonus is that you get his full comments here in this clip, not the version where he says that he totally condemns neo Nazis and white nationalists edited out.

Can he get separation?

You mean the true patriots who have had statues honoring them torn down, vandalized, relocated or otherwise "contextualized" because people like you and Ken Burns view history through the lens of woke? Your TDS is on display.

I think there's a sale at Macy's

He actually kept the backs in a fair amount, and the TEs were chipping. The problem is that the Texans stayed in man coverage all night and the guys responsible for our backs and TEs utilized that freedom to create simulated pressure, delayed blitzes, and spy Allen when they stayed in. Brady had no answer for that. There was no effective scheme adjustment, and no one on offense was reliably winning their 1v1’s.

Big game with playoff like implications for this one.

I've been pretty confident but now quite worried. A lot is going to depend on this steelers game. Chiefs will make it i think I obviously want to get in but wonder if we might need to miss out to make ownership change things

I don't think they stand a chance to get into the playoffs honestly.... they just aren't good enough. The GM and the HC seem to be the two biggest weak links.

The point is Bosa is very, very clearly more effective when playing with 2 hands, which is to be expected. If it’s a situation where he can’t make anything worse by playing on it, that’s one thing, but I certainly hope that is the case. Otherwise, it would be silly not to let him sit out a bit, recover and return to the lineup able to contribute on the level he did up to the Chiefs game. Some of you act like this team has never made a poor decision before. We saw plenty of bad decisions by coaching in the Texans game alone. They’re “professionals” too. I guess we give our medical staff the benefit of the doubt. Poor judgement is a thing, even from professionals.
