Child sex offenders shouldn't get special good treatment. Yet you disagree Why is that? Why are you so happy he is helping a child sex offender? Are you in some club or something?

I thought Cali sober was mushrooms?

Sucka, please.

He appears eager to contribute!

Dabol as GM Babich as coach.

do you think he'll play for Sweden in the Olympics even if he is still MIA for the Sabres?

Perhaps you've only seen the BBC News edit. I know many here see bbc and get excited because they know their browser history ... But it's also a news source out of the UK which edited the hell out of Trump's clip. The US media the same thing. Either way you're living in a paradigm, living in a lie, full of *****. I don't know which one but you can decide. Because you're saying this on one side of your mouth shaking your head yes while the other side of your mouth is going back, maybe to that BBC stuff, and shaking your head yes when Nancy pelosi, Chuck schumer, Maxine waters, many of them said we need to fight like hell, we need to punch them in the face, we need to be violent. So here you are upset that Trump riled up people that attacked the capitol. Your words. But when it comes time to call out violence against people who disagree with you, your liberal ideations, Che guevara, whatever commie bastard you're into ... Well I don't see you saying much? In fact I think I saw you say something about Charlie Kirk being only a YouTuber, and being fairly light on the whole stance there. So yeah, you're just a douchebag hypocrite.

The current regime was successful in stabilizing an organization that was a complete mess for almost two decades. That cannot be taken away from them. But one thing I've come to realize is that just because you can build a strong foundation, doesn't mean you have what it takes to complete the job. Sean McDermott is very organized and structured, where his predecessor was absolute chaos. He's proven to be a strong leader for the locker room, and his ability to make players feel connected like a family is rare in professional sports. Where McDermott struggles though is thinking quickly on his feet, and adapting to unexpected situations on gameday. When everything he's prepared for during the week goes out the window, and he needs to react on the fly. When he needs more than just fundamentals and execution, and he needs to outsmart the guy on the other sideline. That's when mistakes like 13 seconds happen. As the years have passed, McDermott's defensive scheme has also gradually become outdated, as NFL offenses have shifted towards heavier sets and more running the ball. His preference to promote from within is great for organizational morale, but it's clearly cost us a chance at bigger and brighter minds being able to take us to higher levels. In the same way, Brandon Beane succeeded at the one thing all the other GMs since Bill Polian failed at. Drafting a franchise QB. He hit a grand slam on the first swing, and gave us the key piece needed to become one of the NFL's top teams. But his drafting and roster management since has been subpar. And as the key veterans we had on the roster have left, retired or regressed -- he's struggled badly to replace them. I understand the fear that Terry Pegula will make a bad decision. But at some point I think we have to take a chance. Right? How many years are we going to spin our wheels with McDermott/Beane, as Josh Allen's career dwindles down to nothing?

Ah Grasshopper, you forget the wind confusion will take care of that. Now walk on this rice paper; if you do not tear it, you may post again, with less anger.

No. No, it’s not. It was 13 seconds. Deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you knew we would never make the Super Bowl after that game with McDermott as HC.

Why do you think McKen..., I mean Hardman was signed.

Had to look that up. Id heard of it but didnt recall what it was by name. If were stuck with mcd next year, id very much like to see him in as OC

Reminds me a Dennis Leary routine from years ago: "We didn't have rehab back in the 70s. Back in the 70s rehab meant you quit doing coke but you kept smoking pot and drinking for a couple more months. Yeah give me a case of Budweiser and an ounce, I gotta slow down"

There are video reels on the interwebs consisting solely of Josh’s flops on minor contact. As bills fans, we laugh, but I guarantee a completely different reaction if the flop videos were of Kermit. The narrative is out there, whether you like it or not He had good “stats” last Sunday in Miami too … are you going to tell us he played well?

Oof we just have to teach him to take a knee right before 13 seconds

I never want to see this team run a jet sweep again

I haven’t read all 14 pages but my hope is that Josh is in between two stages of his career but is still ascending. Progress is not linear in most professions and aspects of life generally. Maybe he’s transforming into an elite pocket passer but needs to do it his particular way. That is my hope at least.

You are forgetting a 2nd year QB coming into his own and spreading the ball around.. and a very good OC..

I am not a gambler and stats alone cannot explain everything wrong with a team. Nor am I a huge Sharp fan, but this article is as relevant today as it was 2 years ago: https://www.sharpfootballanalysis.com/analysis/sean-mcdermott-buffalo-bills-ken-dorsey/

I thought the reads were much cleaner against KC to be honest. It's not like Allen had the stats he did in that game because he was dumping a 2 yard pass to Coleman with three defenders leveraged over top. The whole offensive structure around him was much better in that game. The run game was working, the pass protection was better. We managed to create four 20+ yard completions to Kincaid (x2), Moore, and Knox on time and in rhythm, and all four of our TDs happened on those drives. We played with a lead for most of the game which is the position our offense is designed to play from. So I don't think the difference between the KC offensive performance vs the Miami performance was because of the QB play. It's because all of the things that worked against KC didn't work against Miami. They shut down the run, OL played their worst game of the season, after Kincaid's injury Allen had no targets he could trust downfield, Brady fell back into predictable play calling. All of that plus the defense wasn't anywhere near as effective as they were against KC so everything just kind of snowballed.

Still one of the funniest post-game interviews.

Week 4 vs. New Orleans. Offense went dead in the 2nd quarter and then came back. Won the game. Week 5 vs. New England. Offense was bad for the entire first half. Week 6 vs. Atlanta. After opening drive TD, offense was bad the rest of the game. [Week 7 we beat Carolina 40-9; Week 8 we beat K.C. 28-21.] Week 10 vs. Miami. Offense never gets going, bad all game. It seems strange that the slump happens around two big wins. Is this a second slump, or a delayed reaction? Is it more team attitude and intensity? The slump has been spotty, with 11 bad offensive quarters of the last 24 quarters (almost half). It is so hard to know exactly what the problem is with so many factors and with us not having any inside info. But, I obviously do not think that it is one thing only. I mean, has anyone looked at how those six teams played us defensively? Did the four that had more success do anything differently? That could be another factor. I'm just guessing like everyone else here, but the two things that I keep leaning towards is: 1. Has Brady become a bit too predictable over the last 6 weeks or so (with the screens, dump offs, not taking a lot of downfield shots, etc.). Could it be less about the receivers not getting separation and more about them just not getting their numbers called or Josh being coached to take the underneath stuff? I don't watch closely enough to see if defenses have changed against us. Have they been getting more out of their shell defenses and coming up closer to the line to defend the run and short passes? If so, you need to start going over them to back them off again. There is something to be said for the "we do what we do well, and we are just going to out execute you doing it" type of offense. The 90s Bills were that type of a team. But I feel that Brady needs to get back more to game-planning (and changing things up) per each opponent specifically (and making better in-game adjustments , obviously). I'm not opposed to the McD philosophy of how he wants his offense run overall (bigger, ball control, run game, etc.), I mean, look at what having a smaller, more finesse, more open offense got us come late-season and playoffs. Nothing. But, they need to be able to open it up when called upon. Which they haven't been able to do consistently this year. As Mikie2times said, it's hard to just pull it out late in a game (when a defense can pin their ears back), if it isn't really part of your overall identity anymore. And I think they have to be careful with this philosophy that they don't make Josh feel stifled. I'm not saying we need to change the offense or completely open it up, we just need to be more multiple (to completely oversimplify with a football cliche). 2. Which leads to the second point. We know that over the years, it has been tough for Josh to reign things in, stay patient and just take what the defense gives you. He has done it very well for stretches of his career, but he always seems to fall back out of it at some point. I don't think it is ego, he just wants to play ball the way he has always played ball...gunslinger mentality. It seems that this year (even as opposed to last year), Brady has reigned the offense in even more (everything closer to the line of scrimmage, much fewer designed QB runs, way more screens, etc.). Almost as if the team was saying, if we just don't make mistakes, we'll coast thru the regular season, keep Josh safe for playoffs, etc. And between that and Cook going off, taking a lot of carries, has it just been less fun for Josh? Has he just been a little less enthused about game plans, etc. feeling more like a game manager than "the guy"? Josh is a big kid, he needs to be having fun out there. Now how much it is personal (off the field) and how much is football (Xs and Os) is anyone's guess. As I said, it's all total speculation on my part. And obviously it didn't help that Cook was on a bum ankle and Josh was missing Kincaid and Palmer for Miami too. Plus the heat, maybe a letdown after beating the Chiefs in a big one, etc. Like I said, so many factors...which makes it hard to pinpoint how to fix it. I'm not saying we couldn't have used some improvement to our WR corps. But, I'm just not convinced that they are the main problem. Nor do I think Josh or the team were depressed about the trade deadline passing with no new help. Josh and Brady have plenty of weapons to work with overall (some that they aren't even using as well as last year: Ty Johnson for one). But Josh isn't the type of guy to be down on his teammates, I think he has the mentality that he can win with anyone and always supports the guys that he does have. And if Josh is on his game, he should be elevating the receivers' play. Our WRs suck seems like too easy an answer, imo, for what is going on with the offense right now. But, I'm not discounting other factors that have been raised in this thread as possibilities as well. It is almost never just one thing. Josh and McD have pulled out of slumps before, hopefully they can figure things out and do it again. Not a lot of room left for error this year if we want a decent seed (not because of our record, but because of the records of the rest of the AFC: Pats, Denver, Colts, Chargers). As things stand at he moment, we would be the #6 seed and headed to a road wild card game in New England vs. the Pats.

I think that there were players who could have played that did not because it was "just the Dolphins"

So that’s why he was driving past Elbo Room after the beat down of our boys…
