Well it is Billsdouche so...

Brandon Beanes mentor Dave Gettleman said "Hurt guys get hurt". Maybe he should have listened a bit more to his mentor vs assuming he can defy the laws of cheap NFL labor. Our roster is littered with players that have an injury history and we have no aversion to extending these players or slotting them as starters with no considerable depth options. Bernard, Benford, Bosa, Rapp, Milano, Jones, White, Taron Johnson. It's practically the entire defense and extends multiple years for many of these guys. So is our luck really that bad or is our roster building that impractical? Should we assume we got a "deal" or should we assume we actually got the going rate because other teams properly value this?

The goal for every GM should be a relentless pursuit of TALENT, regardless of how it's done. Draft, Free Agency, Trades, etc. Les Snead succeeded in thinking outside the box, realizing that high draft picks were significantly overvalued around the league. Rookies are hit/miss, and take time to develop. Vets cost more, but it's easier to tell what they will bring. Of course, the other piece was excellent drafting in the middle/late rounds. You can easily trade away early picks IF you are hitting strong on Day 3. He was able to get a superstar WR (Puka Nacua) in the 5th Round, while Beane is totally lost at the position 20-25 picks in.

If not the expectation it was the standard. It was known coming into the season that we had an easier than usual schedule and a weak conference to compete against. Imagine if before the season you knew we would beat Baltimore, KC would start below .500, and Burrow and Lamar would each suffer multi-game injuries. You really wouldn't believe that the #1 seed was very attainable? I personally hated the entire direction of the offseason but the standard was the standard. If this regime can't turn such favorable circumstances into a #1 seed, they never will. It's absolutely crazy that the conversation has gone from #1 seed, to competing for the division, to grinding it out for a wildcard spot. Even the most pessimistic fans on here didn't anticipate such a stark fall off.

Just 31 actually. Granted, that's the wrong side of 30, but there are plenty of productive NFL players who are older.

An argument could be made that they have the best GM in the league. Philly could argue that. NO argument they have the best HC at this time.

Yes...yes he did... $10,777 for "obscene gestures" 🤣🤣 https://www.yahoo.com/sports/article/bills-rb-ty-johnson-suffers-014641238.html

Yeah. Complete slug. Sacks aren’t the only stat that matter for DEs. 🤦🏾‍♂️

kale chips instead of turkey

Boom. Exactly.

There's definitely something to the pressure of "never having won" in sports that gets to players and probably coaches too. Get one early and then it's all gravy. You did it, and no matter what happens you'll always be a SB champion. That goes a long way toward loosening your team up in future title games. When you go somewhere that wants a title so badly and you hear it all the time and you as a player start to really feel that it can be good but also can be a detriment.

That’s why many people hope Beane will no longer be the GM

Brady might be better suited as a run game coordinator.

Beane isn’t going to pay another WR. Get use the nobody eats offense

I would grab him on a short coming off injury contract and throw the bag a Pickens.

I think this gif has been used about 100 times relating to the Sabres. Seriously though....If the Sabres can play consistently, mostly consistently, like they did the last 2 games, they should get in to the mix.

also, no pressure to play in LA because they have no fans.

the Steelers are a 5-12 team that is coached up to a 9-8 ish team every season. They are awful. I cannot remember the last time they outplayed a good team and won. IF they beat a truly good team it's always fluky and usually involves special teams plays like blocked kicks and also several turnovers by the other team. They're frauds and win with smoke and mirrors. They can't line up and beat you. Nothing about them is scary. Couple that with the "Bills are done" talk percolating nationwide on sports media and here we go again. Narrative buster time where all the WR suddenly do great. Coleman goes for 75+ yards and a TD or two. It'll be like the Tampa Game but with a Steelers score: Bills 47 Steelers 13 If I were a gambler there is no amount of money I wouldn't bet on the Bills winning this game.

We're screwed! Ghosts won't get called for holding!

Yep. Week to week league, but the Bills are down a couple notches from the previous 3 seasons. Losing at Houston and understanding the variables you mentioned isn’t some awful loss. Losing to inferior Atlanta and Miami are why people are acting out to this 3rd ugly road loss. Had the Texans game been in a vacuum we all could have accepted it much better as one L, not a big deal.

Wooooo[oooo

Steelers defense this season: - Allowed 32 points to the JETS(!!!) and Fields - Allowed 31 points to the Seahawks - Allowed 33 points to the Bengals (first meeting) - Allowed 35 points to the Packers - Allowed 25 points to the Chargers - Allowed 31 points to the Bears (last week) Or how about this: Have allowed 11 more points than the Bills D this season (compare that to the Texans who have allowed 70 less points than us)
