For those that want McDermott gone, and I know he has his warts, but you have to be pretty convinced that you landed an upgrade. I pose this. Why is it that our secondary can't cover even no name below average WRs, but equally, when teams man up against us, our WRs can't get any separation? Beane has done a good job building the oline, but it did take a long time, and I honestly have to give Kromer just as much credit.

Kyle Hamilton must be really hurt or they’re not happy with the rookie. That’s two safeties in one day.

Agreed. The problem is spending...it's spending on the wrong players.

Our EPA on offense is a few ticks better than last year and our EPA on defense is a few ticks worse. It is essentially a wash, a near break even. Last year’s team came within a few plays of the Super Bowl, so it is not irrational to think our outlook should not be drastically different. The question is whether just getting yourself back to that position is good enough or whether you are actively improving your position once you are there. This year, with Kansas City and Baltimore both a little down, even slight progression could give us a real edge. But so far our investment strategy has not produced meaningful results. Brandon Beane is busy mocking radio hosts for questioning his approach and doing offseason media tours about how he drafted Josh Allen, while the team itself is not getting better on the field. Hyde and Poyer remain the best players we have had on defense, and neither of them were draft picks. Back then, Beane was shrewd with free agent acquisitions and hit some home runs. That version of him does not seem to exist anymore. The front office has not brought in high end defensive talent in years, and the unit feels like a talent vacuum. Then there is McDermott. He is restricting meaningful defensive change because that is his side of the ball. We hear the defense is simple, then we hear it is complicated, but either way it is ineffective. I do not care whether the issue is talent, execution, or scheme. It all falls under the same umbrella of underperformance. How can any fan have confidence this defense will improve with the same two people driving it? Beane was significantly better during the first build. McDermott might be more mature now, but together they remain fixated on pouring resources into a side of the ball that continually fails to deliver. They are all in on defense, but the returns do not justify the investment. At some point, time becomes irrelevant. Nothing we have seen suggests that more of it will change the outcome. If this continues, twenty years from now we will look back on this era as even more polarizing than the 1990s teams.

Good romantic advice

Obviously the Ravens situation is dire, but have to hand it to them for trying to do SOMETHING to fix their problems. Even if it doesn't work, they are trying.

Ok.

Surely i should be corrected here. But a good few posts mentioned some NFL speed or lack of on Bills. made me think , weren't Palmer and Moore supposed to bolster that front ? We all knew Josh needed a deep threat. Whether over the top or turn the corner and go balls out to beat the pursuit. expected Beane to draft one or two. and one early Are these not those guys till fill that void ? Theoretically speaking. Condensed version please

I have to believe that too! So many re-treads that can't play anymore!

The Dolphins have a situation where I feel like they could make an in-season coaching move to an interim guy. It's clear McDaniel is not the long term answer and with Hill out... there's very little hope they can turn it around to make the playoffs. Might as well shake it up, see how the players react, and gauge who you want to keep for next year. Meanwhile you give someone a 10-ish game interview to see how they handle things.

This is a finesse/speed team built for turf that can't get to the QB. We have not had a dominating defender in the Beane era. When you hit on your QB it masks other shortcomings. But who would make a change when you're this close? A friend told me there are no blue chip pass rushers on teams with franchise QBS on veteran contracts. You can feel the Chiefs fading away. The Ravens are imploding and Burrow can't stay healthy. It's now or never.

His SYSTEM doesn't work and never has.

A family of 4 going to a game at $362 per ticket is crazy. Insane. $1500 plus parking and food is vacation money!

You would move somewhere without this important information?! Hope the move is a smooth one...

Is this a link, or the launch code?

Like clockwork. At least 300 of 365 days a year. Yet when someone not a commie leftist mimics it....we get Finding chiming in. 😂

Isn't there someone on the panthers we can sign instead?

I hated this game in so many ways.

Sad story all around, Rest In paradise young sir and to the older gentleman who was killed also.

Its a Josh thing. Ed feels small next him. In so many ways. Is Ed married still ? Was she hot ? lol jk Ed

Would never be used. Remember last year when Valdes-Scantling got cut by us and then signed by the Saints to replace an injured Shaheed.... and lit it up? It's because he fit in to their scheme, which doesn't exist in ours. We have NO downfield game -- both because it's not our HC/OC philosophy and b/c Josh stinks at the deep downfield pass.

Or even before the playoffs. The Jags have a new DC. After the game Mahomes told reporters they "got him" with the coverage on the pick six. Their tendency on film had been cover 0 blitz in that exact goalline situation, but on this play they broke tendency and had the LBs drop back after faking the rush. That tendency breaker created a 14 point swing. After the AFCCG you had multiple Bills players tell reporters that the final blitz on 4th down was something they had not seen on KC's film all season long. I certainly can't recall any opposing player saying those sorts of things about our defense. They know where our holes are and they're designing plays to exploit them because we never break tendency. Same thing happens on offense honestly, Allen and Cook and Shakir are just so talented they make some of the predictable play calls work.

Hey, I have a question. Have the Buffalo Bills ever won a game with Shawn Hoculi as referee? I have my doubts...did a Bills player or fan do his wife or daughter, as he seems to hate the Buffalo Bills?

What for it.... Stephon Gilmore is working out
