Not to mention that saying that having 2nd year 2nd round pick as your starter is "complete failure" on team building is just silly. You may not like the player but it's not team building failure.

I'm a stats guy - not obsessed, but Hollins was our leading TD receiver in 2024 - he had 5. Our 3 RB's had 8 between them.

Here's a question that might deserve its own thread: What do you think Reid would do with the Bills offensive personnel? I'm assuming he could do a superior job to Brady, who I'm beginning to think is a one-trick pony ("Let's run!"), but I'm not sure how.

This stays up there with the other pedo thread.

This stays at the top.

The history of the NFL is littered with players who were kinda good for a season and then basically reverted to form. Rapp has been a replacement level safety his whole career outside of last season.

Is that all you got pedo lover?

Is this not basically our entire starting lineup now? Am I missing something? Your solution to fixing the defense is playing Hairston back from injury and playing Hancock/Walker?

And you folks wonder why he keeps doing it when you're not even capable of discussing anything and instead look to flame each other. It's like the dudes with the littlesr ***** trying to out measure each other with the under. I'm guessing most of you are incel 20 yr olds or 60 yr old divorced dads. Touch grass.

We need a big MLB and have 3 Will LBs. 🤣

The trouble is, those runs count. Every year, we have big TDs given up by the run D. How many times has Henry torched this team for 40+ yard TDs, it’s insane. When a team does run well, the Bills have to sell out to stop the run and that opens everything else. The Ravens losing to the Bills 2x in a row with complete collapse in one half or the other is just amazing to me. Harbaugh and McD are two coaches that are living on reputation and deserve to be fired.

JJ JJ j no no no nnnñnn my

That is SOOO true, and I talk to dozens of Crimson Tides. Golding is no doubt an intellectual. His schemes would be great in flag football. He turned Alabama into a non-violent defense. The ex-players were going crazy watching it.

appreciate the added context to my simple gut reaction. honestly, the other (possibly) interesting piece is those couple explosive run plays from Henry and bijan. the truth is that everything after bishops missed tackle on bijan is some degree of “whatever” yardage. Whether he missed that tackle 5 yards from the endzone or 500 didn’t change the quality of our defense at all - dude was gone. whether what happened after that moment was an extra 2 ypg on our average or an extra 8 ypg from that single missed tackle has some degree of being inconsequential to me. we have faced not terrible talents. Many of these teams are best designed to run. We let them hang and run more than they should strategically. We have allowed too many jailbreak plays. And yes, we are not good enough play in and play out On the bright side, I think that we are just the normal kind of bottom 5 rush defenders, generally, and not worst since games were played in corn fields type of rush defense. I don’t feel like we are stuck in comparisons to dust bowl depression era teams but will just be around the bottom of the 2025 pack and yes, the drum I’ve beat for quite some time seems to be coming home to roost: complimentary football for this roster is playing with a lead. pulling out the stops in the first half of games is more important than we talk about. It reflects in a lot of places and it’s why I thought for 2 off seasons getting a receiver that forces the opposition to cover much more green space every play is the biggest priority imaginable. Back up the safeties. It protects Josh’s health, and it lets the defense play one dimensionally in the second half and not worry about anything but rushing the passer.

I'm not white... And everything I wanted Trump to do, he is doing faster than I expected... So far so good... I'm looking forward to his incoming National Emergency Declaration... Fun times ahead...

Really? You're curious why? 😂

It was a very shrewd signing by NE, he is worth the money as a WR4, special teams ace and his unique vibes. In addition to that he delivered when it mattered (KC playoffs TD) and he was injury free. He is the ideal counterbalance to the Diggs and his perceived drama as well. He also has a PR value which engages well with the casual NFL fan. His one year as a Buffalo Bill was really good (for the non stats obsessed fans) and we are missing him this year, he is a different kind of leader in the locker room.

Seems people already forgot last year. He was not kind of good last year. He was ranked 117 out of 170 safeties. Worse than a lot of teams backups

Because he's at best a partisan hack, at worst a bot.

@Homelander I am curious why you don't pull down the posts that are clearly lies once you realize they are lies?

The only easier fix is to play base defense, with Thompson out there every down.

You help the democrat party just like a toddler would. You're part of the reason the democrat party is in the toilet. Congratulations 🎊 👏

It’s pretty easy to do things differently with the same players and get different results. the 2013 Bills Pettine defense had a lot of problems the 2014 Bills Schwartz defense fixed with scheme and responsibility changing. I would say that 90% of our defense was the same that next year. Sometimes that’s the responsibility. Nigel Bradham had notorious tunnel vision. He was a lot like Dorian Williams tbh. He could not read and react to save his life. He struggled in 2013 and then Schwartz simplified his responsibilities and let him attack downhill and he looked MUCH better. Just like we did with Dorian 2 years ago in the Ravens game. Big Baller Beane limited our flexibility by paying everyone on defense but that doesn’t mean we need to cut everybody and start over. I’ll be very happy for McD if he has success elsewhere and learns from his first job like Reid did. but the moral of the story is that Philly won 2 without Reid. And they got 1 first before Reid ever got close.

11 personnel is about 61-62% of the time in the nfl (the most common personnel grouping).
