Okay. You're on record as saying that Josh doesn't have any responsibility to get his teammates prepared. Got it.

Josh will probably stay - but the primary adjectives I'd use to describe him this year are "weary" and "frustrated." Maybe I'd add "exasperated." Beane has to step up and we have to go all in on receiving targets. Allen needs to have fun again - that's when we win. If he had legit #1 & #2 receivers, along with Kincaid & Cook, everything would look completely different.

if not for the tip ball on the play prior a mesh concept would’ve worked stellar

I hate Sean and Brandon even more after reading this thread. Josh was meant to be in Buffalo for his whole career. He has been exactly what the city and the franchise have been looking for close to 30 years. The fact that we even need to have this discussion is a sign of their malpractice. Through arrogance, or ineptitude , they have got us to this point.

Rebuilds take 5 minutes these days. It’s not some 5 year process

IMO, the continued affinity for undersized LB and DL - despite it not having worked when it matters - is pretty 'clownish'

He's the best edge run defender in the NFL. I don't think he needs to bulk up. I'd like to see more wider alignments in the Bills front. I think we've seen that their tighter spacing hurts their individual sack numbers. For Rousseau it doesn't allow him to use that huge first stride and find open lanes to make plays horizontally. But when you have a couple limited, undersized LB's you can't really roll wide 9. Regardless, he needs an edge bender opposite him. Instead the Bills have drafted guys like Boogie, Epenesa and Landon Jackson who lack that ability.

I agree. My gut is he will go the Matt Stafford route but here's to hoping it happens in Buffalo.

Poyer is pretty washed at this point physically, but he's playing with violence in his heart.

It's Brady, but that means it's also McDermott. Brady demonstrated again last night that he is just not up to the job. This entire staff has run its course but with Pegula seemingly 99% clueless, I don't know that it'll ever change. Sigh.

I think every Bills fan saw it flash before their eyes when Josh was shaking his leg like that. He also had a throwing hand wrist injury on the final drive. I seen him grab it and he was trying to shake it off in the huddle. Dude is tough af.

Cleaning house aside from trying to keep Kromer. My head coach hire is Kliff Kingsbury. He obviously knows offense and knows how to move the football. He’s the most obvious guy to have more success in his second go around. I don’t see him as a retread, I see him as a guy who had some success and some failure and will do better in a better situation. Someone will hire him this year and his success will on some level depend on his QB is. He’s done some really good things with Jayden Daniels. He took the Cards to the playoffs with Kyler Murray missing multiple games, and receivers like a washed AJ Green and Greg Dortch and TBD favorite Andy Isabella behind DeAndre Hopkins who got hurt and was a big part of their late season collapse. He also has found very creative ways to utilize Zach Ertz, something he could do with Kincaid. He needs to be paired with an experienced DC like Jim Schwartz. Maybe it’s a Flores or something, but I would target Schwartz. Thats the move I make. Kliff maybe isn’t as kind and God fearing as McDermott, but to me he’s the kind of offensive coach who needs another shot and is a perfect pairing with Josh. He is able to maximize skill sets, and he has shown an implementation of more gap runs in Washington which shows that he has likely learned from some of his mistakes in Arizona and his vanilla zone scheme. Often these guys find success in a second go round and to me he’s the guy to target.

Why TF would he?

We should all be thrilled with 12-5. That’s what I see too. Look forward to thumping Pats in regular season, the Texans in playoffs with Ed back. We get Kincaid back and we’re back. Yes, I see 3 more e losses for Pats.

Most of this season and especially after last night, people have been calling for the firing of Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane. It's pretty clear that the coaching and the systems aren't working anymore. And that the roster is in terrible shape with no easy fixes. Both have had a number of fireable offenses. While I understand fans frustration and wanting a new regime, the question I keep coming back to is would Josh want to stick around for that? He'll be 30 years old next season. We've already wasted much of his prime. A new Coach and/or a new GM will surely want to rebuild the roster, the staff, and the systems in place in their image. This is likely to take time and the odds that they'll come in and get back to where they were immediately while rebuilding is unlikely. It will probably take a couple off seasons. And there's no guarantee whomever we bring in will actually improve things. My concern is that at Josh's age and with the clock ticking on his prime that he would rather ask for a Trade to a team that has a roster in place and a good coach and GM in place than waste time and roll the dice on a rebuild under unknowns. There's no easy answer as it's pretty clear that Sean isn't the answer and Brandon has mismanaged the cap and roster. So a lot of things are going to have to be done after this season. But I worry Josh won't want to stick around for a total blow up.

The ball placement was fine and I've seen this catch made both in college & pro football every week. Because it's so rare that the Bills WR's make these kinds of tough catches we forget that they happen all the time in other games.

I really enjoy listening to him as well. He has a reasonable view of the team, isn't afraid to criticize them when deserved, and doesn't come off like a condescending know-it-all like some of the other podcast hosts.

"Which one of the homegrown off-season signings has met or exceeded expectations besides Cook"

Because Joe Brady is a poor game planer and his play package is primitive. The other teams knew what we were going to do since Atlanta. No I am not saying it because of that tweet in this thread. I have said it since the Atlanta game. Atlanta at minimum figured out our motions and how to fool Josh and get him to play into the defense. On a side note: I think this game might have been slightly different if we had Kincaid available. They don't use Knox in the same way and Kincaid has a knack for them short to mid range quick throws and turning them into first downs. I would have liked to have seen more passes to the backs last night. Texans LBers are also very good though. A lot of people want to blame Josh for everything. I guarantee you if Josh had a real OC and one #1 guy that this team would be nie unstoppable on offense. Sure, Josh has his head scratchers but what QB doesn't? Hell, Id bet just a real OC and this same crew would perform better and we lose maybe 1 game thus far.

With Spencer Brown out, how does it look facing TJ Watt and Myles Garrett?

Then Beane should have traded up to get a difference maker instead of trading back multiple times to the team's detriment.

Lol. I feel like most people that say 9-8 want to be 9-8. We aren't going 9-8. We have 6 games left. Jets and Browns should be wins. That gives us 9 right there. Then all we gotta do is go 2-2 in the other 4. Completely doable. 11-6 is where I think we go

Agreed. The Championship roster comments are interesting. I liked this topic.. I think it was the morning show, but he keeps referencing points per possession to show how the Defense, while not good, is doing enough for what one would think a Josh Allen led Offense can win with. I think we’d all agree the Defense has been pretty bad these past two weeks, but giving up 32 in a high possession game isn’t awful. Giving up 23, when 6 of those points came off turning the ball over in FG range, while forcing 6 punts, isn’t awful.
