  1. Past hour
  2. It's beyond infuriating. Maybe because I hold opinions about NYC that made Simon mad it gave me time to realize I don't have 1 damn thing to say about this team over the last week. There can't be anymore said for where this team is that we haven't known about since 2021. This past off-season was the cherry on top of ***** that left the biggest insult.
  3. Need to poach there front office staff this off-season.
  4. The Noah Gray "Catch" pretty much sums it up.....
  5. This is crazy
  6. In the background, Mr. Brightside: “How did it end up like this?” With Beane’s sophomoric call to WGR playing, and a montage of his draft picks
  7. I didn't see that. Wow! I'm sure Stefanski would say he didn't want to run up the score, but that's pretty obvious.
  8. LOL. Maybe they should try "winning something some time"
  9. Wouldn't surprise me at all. It also wouldn't surprise me if Allen demands a trade out of here once he realizes this front office isn't committed to helping him. After the pounding he just took with nobody there to help, that has to grind his gears.
  10. .
  11. It's definitely both. Sean McDermott has never been a gameday coach, who outsmarts the guy on the other sideline. He's a player-friendly guy, who emphasizes high character, organization and fundamentals as the primary keys to winning. Both of these elements were key in laying the foundation of a winning franchise in the early years. The problem is that his scheme has gotten outdated over the years, and the talent level has dropped off a cliff. He's got no ideas on how to adjust or adapt. Bobby Babich was an internal hire, who brings nothing to the table other than to echo what McDermott already gives us. Joe Brady had some success when he was new, because his style was 180 degrees different from our previous OC Ken Dorsey. Now that defensive coordinators have figured out his tendencies and our talent limitations, he also has no idea how to adapt. He doesn't change gameplans for opponents, and doesn't recognize what is happening in-game in order to make adjustments. Talent-wise, this team was built mostly on Josh Allen, Doug Whaley's pre-firing additions (Poyer, Hyde, White, Dawkins, Milano) and the trade for Diggs. What Beane has added in actual rookie talent since drafting Allen is actually ridiculously pathetic. His free agent classes have been equally bad, and gotten us into terrible cap trouble. When the team has a mid-season hole, he's like a deer in the headlights. It used to be grab an old Panther. Now it's grab an old Bill that nobody else in the NFL wants to sign. The Bills are a stale coaching staff combined with an aging low-talent roster.
  12. It's just that I have no control over the decisions of the team, so all my anger does is raise my blood pressure. We all want something very badly, but we completely depend on a bunch of men we don't even know to get it done. It's beyond frustrating, and we all react to that in different ways.
  13. I wish we had Ben Johnson as our HC. I thought he'd be below average as a HC, not a leader of men. I was wrong. He's a very good coach and obviously knows offense and schemes.
  14. I'm a UCLA alum too and think that Kelly was the best thing that happened to that program in the last decade. UCLA's absolute ceiling is never going to be higher than 10-3, with a more realistic ceiling being 9-4. 8-5 is a good season for that program. They don't have the money, they don't have the commitment, the athletic dept is a mess, they don't have fans who show up to games given the stadium location, and they have long struggled to recruit 4 and 5 star recruits. The academic expectations are another issue. They were competitive with Kelly and had a pretty impressive run game. Kelly focused on 3-star recruits who fit within his system, which in my view was a realistic approach. In his last three seasons, they went 8-4, 9-4, and 8-5, with the fifth loss in the final season a result of a crazy ending vs Pitt in a bowl game. They didn't lose that game because of Kelly. I feel confident in saying that that three-year run is probably going to be the best such run they have in the dozen years that follow after his departure. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6642637/2025/09/19/ucla-football-deshaun-foster-martin-jarmond/ "The biggest issue with UCLA football, according to more than a half-dozen sources The Athletic spoke to for this story, some of whom were granted anonymity in exchange for their candor, has been a lack of financial resources. The Bruins had never been USC when it came to money or commitment to football, and UCLA has piled up more than $200 million in athletic department debt in recent years. But that disparity — fractures of which showed throughout much of this century — became much more of a problem in 2021, once name, image and likeness arrived." ... “Looking at the Chip regime through clear eyes, it was a major rebuild that took too long, at first,” one of Kelly’s assistants told The Athletic. “Then, we really turned the corner and were a top-20 program over the last three years, which is all you really can ask for any non-blue blood.” But, the assistant continued, UCLA wanted more. The fans weren’t engaged — “Chip’s not the biggest fan engagement guy.” It became apparent UCLA folks were tired of Kelly, who didn’t replicate the success he’d had at Oregon before leaving for the NFL, and Kelly, program sources said, was tired of the entire dynamic, especially of [athletic director] Jarmond, who was hired two years after the coach arrived. “You’re trying to sell the players on getting a great education and we can develop you as a player, but we didn’t have any money to pay them, and we were losing out on players,” said one position coach from Kelly’s staff at UCLA.
  15. That assumes you trust the organization to make changes, or at least make them effectively. I don't see Beane or McD going anywhere realistically. It wouldn't surprise me at all if we miss the playoffs, end up with a pick in the upper teens, and we take a will linebacker.
  16. Who asked for this? @BillsFanNC @B-Man @leh-nerd skin-erd @Big Blitz - this is what you voted for, right?
  17. That was late 90's. That actually proves your point that Elway was better when he allowed Shanahan to change how he played.
  18. Correct. Go watch some of his games from 2018-2021. Current Josh has lost more than a step from the earlier version. It's become apparent that he's no longer quick enough to reliably escape from pressure.
  19. Elway, in the end, was similar to Peyton Manning in that he simply no longer had that supreme arm talent at the end. Elway was helped with an RB by the name of Terrell Davis, who rushed for 1750 yards in 1997, for 2000 yards in 1998, and the Broncos ran the ball more than they threw it in those last two Super Bowls. Manning, in his last SB, was helped by a #1 defense while their offense was middle of the pack. The current Buffalo Bills have the right idea with the run game and now need to upgrade their passing attack with more innovative schemes. That power run game is supposed to help protect Allen and not throw him under the bus... 8 SACKS
  20. Did you see the Cleveland browns punted from the 29 yard line when the score was 24-10 and the over/under was 36.5. So if they kicked the field goal they would have hit the over so they punted at the LV 29. Crazy work
  21. And he has shown zero ability to adapt and adjust in-game.
  22. No to Chip. Good college coach......not so good in the NFL
