I would've simply said winning.

Typically I would agree, but it really seems as though the Ravens have been exposed as being not nearly the team many thought they were.

I agree 100%, i hope the Bills play most of the games next season at 1pm on Sunday, i cannot stand waiting around for either 4:25 game or even worse Sunday night or Monday night games. It leaves no time to talk about the game after the game Sunday and Monday night games are a killer for sleep and that gets worse after they lose.

But they don't have a Doug Baldwin, Golden Tate or even a Percy Harvin.

It’s about balance and adjustments. Brady needs to show an improvement on adjusting in game when what he planned on doing isn’t working. i think about the Seattle team which won the SB with a great D, great running game, and timely good QB play. Now the Bills don’t have a D on par with the Legion of Boom but they have a QB who is much better than Wilson ever was in his prime.

Which solid receivers? No we haven't. It is the talent.

Agree. Getting the #5 seed and being @ Baltimore in the wildcard is not a grest outcome. Whatever their struggles.

We have had numerous solid WRs underperform in this offense. Seems like that’s more a problem to me. How long we gonna keep bringing in a revolving door of WRs before they realize it’s the guy designing the plays?

Don’t forget Joe! One of the great slingers of the pigskin.

When I call your name Girl, it starts the flame (Burning in my heart, tearing it all apart) No matter how I try, my love I cannot hide 'Cause sugar pie, honey bunch (Sugar pie, honey bunch) You know that I'm weak for you (Weak for you) Can't help myself I love you and nobody else (Ooh)

It's much more the guys we have not being good enough to make plays.

Yeah our passing game is terrible. When the run game gets shut down it seems liked we are kind of ***** right now. That’s a lot of the system not putting guys in position to make plays. Gotta get it figured out over the next month.

@bman. You wanted people to read this and I did. Do you believe that this is just a giant sting operation? Do you read what you post?

Agreed. Keep running a play u til they stop it. When i coached i had a series of plays and a sequence until they stopped it. As soon as they did which surprisingly was not often, i then would move to another sequence of plays and that would completely surprise them. So my point is its not one play, but a sequence of plays and as soon as opposing coaches figure it out, you then go to something else. Im certainly not the sharpest tool in the shed, but when things work, keep doing it.

It is alright, and it is who they have to be at the moment. But it is not alright that we have got here partly by accident. I think the staff always wanted balance. They did not want this inability to throw the ball down the field. That is not by design. It is a result of piss poor personnel decisions. The coaches are leaning into how the team has been built. But there are major questions marks about that build - both in strategy (which Beane and McDermott both have a hand in) and in talent evaluation (which is squarely on Brandon Beane).

I mean it is a bit of both. There is definitely a cultural resistance on this board to blaming Allen even for things that are his fault. And there have been things that have been Josh's fault this year. Some of the turnovers are absolutely on him. He hasn't played as well as 2024 or the second half of 2023. There are extenuating factors but it is madness to exempt him from all blame. However, the WRs are the worst in the league. They were before the season started and some of us said it. The Bills have been hurt by injuries. Beane is to blame for some of the problems with this roster and while I am not a McDermott hater, the can't win the big game tag will stick likely until / unless he wins a Superbowl.

Probably for a few weeks like Kincaid. Going to have to blitz Burrow and Maye to get pressure which is not ideal. Morgan Fox coming to the active roster. Good pickup by Beane, Bengals defense has looked much better lately.

Roger Federer's career Grand Slam required someone else to take out Rafa Nadal at the French Open. Liverpool's 2019 Champions League required someone else to deal with Real Madrid. There are examples littered throughout sport of a nearly team needing someone else to deal with their big bad foe to get them over the line the first time. I don't think this Bills team can win a Superbowl as it happens.... too many injuries, too flawed in critical areas. But if they did and someone else knocks of KC literally nobody will care. History certainly won't. Hmm, I have 10-7 with wins v CLE and NYJ as dicey. You need the other contenders to all canabalise one another.... which could happen, but isn't a guarantee.

10-7 will also very likely be fine if one of those losses is the Eagles As far as i can tell even just beating Browns / Jets puts us near enough in

It's almost impossible for them to miss at 11-6. As I say 10-7 is dicey.

The only reason The Bills lost to the Pats is because the Pats scored more points. No excuse for losing a primetime home game with Diggs on the other side and letting him beat you.

100%

Nail in the coffin for what? Win 3 games out of their last 5 and the Bills are in. The Colts aren't getting to 11 wins and if Houston beats KC then the max the Chiefs can win is 10. I think whichever team loses the Houston - Kansas City game there is good news for the Bills. Now if the Bills were to only go 2-3 down the stretch and end up at 10-7 that is when they are in a bun fight. But even then we need the Chiefs to be 10-7 too for the tiebreaker to matter, so them losing to Houston still helps. I do think 10-7 with 2 more AFC losses would be a problem for the Bills though. Having played with a few scenarios I struggle to get them in with only 10 wins.... it is possible, but it is not super likely. Both 2021 and 2024 were at KC. 2023 was the home game when our D was decimated with injuries. We still had the chance to win that at the end and couldn't get it done.

You’re insane and wish you were correct, but your optimism is rather refreshing!

Madness to want KC in There is 4 years of evidence that this ain't good news for us And two of those years we were better than them (2024) or played as well as we possibly can (2021) - and still lost. One of them at home Rather play the Texans all day long, tough to beat the same team twice in the same season (see Bills regular season vs Chiefs) I think we roll vs Texans in a play off scenario - home or on the road
