Going to hurt his reelection chances for sure.

Yup. Sloppy play caused it. Usually we are on the other side of the ball. Crazy we can have that and still be in the positions to win. My only concern with the offense going forward is the last 2 games Josh is leaning on his propensity to force things with his arm again instead of forcing things with his legs. Hopefully that gets cleaned up. There’s been at least 5 or 6 INTs on the season he’s gotten away with.

or. . . . . . NO longer 'reliable'

The run game got stifled, we turned the ball over 3 times, but “everybody eats” is the issue? I don’t get it.

All in would equate to who or what? Im all for it but I can’t see any team trading their big names for what we need most to push this team to the crème de la crème of the league. Funnily enough, we are in there right now. Just a few blemishes.

According to analysis by data journalist G. Elliott Morris posted in his Substack blog Strength In Numbers, Trump's net approval among people aged 18 to 29 has declined by 35 percentage points since November 2024.

For sure but the Diggs trade did work out. Got serious production out of him during the regular seasons and first playoff year; Colts & Ravens. Wouldnt have even had to move up to get Jefferson which is the worst part. Even then, we might have landed Jalen Raegor or Brandon Aiyuk or even Tee Higgins. Hindsight is 20/20 like they say. Hopefully they do something in the 2026 draft. That kid from Texas Tech would be nice, Williams? Don’t think he’s doing much this year due to an injury but he was awesome the year prior. Maybe he falls to where we pick? Something tells me we go LB, Safety or OL.

Lol,

While I agree with your point for the most part, with the exception of the Jets game, the Bills have not really looked crisp or stout in all 3 phases of the game...thats the reason I am concerned. Individuals who we counted on time and time again don't seem to have the same abilities just one season later. Something is missing. I know many want to blame the receiver room but I think we have plenty of talent there...and yet we still look like we cant throw the ball downfield. The defense has definitely been spotty, getting pushed around, missing tackles, bad angles, etc, etc etc. We are in desperate need of a CB2 and even CB1 has been less than his usual stellar self. Taron Johnson and Taylor Rapp seem lost or hesitant. Everyone wanted to blame Cole Bishop early on but he seems like he is the only one in the secondary that has been progressing week to week. I know injuries are a concern right now but every team deals with that. My amateur opinion is that we need to simplify the defense so we can put good athletes into our system and they can be effective from the get-go. We have a habit of recycling past players cuz they know the 'system'! That doesnt seem to be working out very well. While I do expect players to get better with each game, I am concerned about the mistakes just doing the fundamentals.

This isn't about one game, one missed call, or are current record. Even if we won that game we'd be having the same conversation. Our combined opponents are now 5-15. The teams we beat win total combined is two. Four of the five games were at home. The Dolphins and Saints in particular shouldn't have been that close. All the previous problems that causes us to lose in the divisional/championship rounds the last five years has been on full display this season despite our 4-1 record. On the defense it's shaky run defense, poor tackling, an average pass rush at best, a lack of athleticism in the secondary, and an inability to get off the field on 3rd downs. We have a really good offense but not having that number 1 WR you can rely on to get open in a need to have it situation is missing. You saw it in full display with Diggs playing out of his mind on Sunday night. I understand the retort is Diggs never rose to the occasion in our playoff losses. However, that doesn't mean another WR1 wouldn't rise to the occasion. I don't think Pegula will fire Beane or McDermott. However, I'd get rid of them both if we have a fairly healthy team come playoff time and lose in a similar way to the previous five playoff exits. The sample size is big enough now. I don't know if the new staff would be a downgrade or an upgrade but we can't keep spinning our wheels.

I think we are still forcing our hand to play the best players on the field vs the players in their best position. We did this to ourselves having 2 TE's and a up and comer. I'm excited to have talent but we need WRs. It'd be perfect to put Coleman and Shakir as double slot WRs with at least 1 real wide out. Maybe Palmer can do that but if we had 2 exterior WR's with Coleman and Shakir inside we space out the defense so Cook has even more room to run. Instead we have a hodgepodge of TEs that can do 1 thing well each with Knox being the most complete TE. They take up a position on the field that isn't quite good enough to be a WR and not quite good enough to be a fb or ol. If we just had a viable outside runner with legs & gas we could scheme.

Im all about Addison, but one of these need to be the move. Figure out the fit and make an offer they cant say no to. Addison team controlled for 2 years after this year, $2.5M cap hit if acquired this week. Full route tree, plays like Diggs. Hes proli ready to be a #1 and not play second fiddle, and get a real QB. Theres a little diva kicking around but nowhere near the amount thats untenable. Addison can pair up with Josh the rest of his career pretty much, im absolutely fine paying him whatever he wants when its time. Kid has been a stud at Pitt, USC and Minny. Let the guy help us get a ring!! Minny might not be ready now, but theyve already kicked it around last year, they cant pay him, and a few more weeks closer to deadline with Wentz and theyll be ready to move some pieces. We should all be rooting against Minnesota every week!!!

The problem is that you don't just need a #1. Any team with a #1 also has to have a very good #1b or #2. Like Higgins in Cinncinnati, Addison in Minnesota, or Smith in Philadelphia. It's too easy for defenses to take one guy away. That's why the Jags spent all that capital to get Hunter even though they hit on BTJ the year before.

"Our D is getting pummeled this year and when we face a good team like the Pats and the Falcons, it's gonna be a long night." - No worries. We're watching the film and adding ex Bills players to the practice squad. Got it all under control. Please forward to McDermy and Babich. They might not know this.

Since 2017 exactly 1 team has more wins than the Bills, that is the Chiefs. That includes a season when Tyrod Taylor was the starting QB and a season when Josh Allen threw more INTs than TDs. But I'm sure YOU know more about winning strategy than Sean McDermott does. Thanks for your wisdom. The team would be lost without you.

I don't care how good our current are, or become, I will always say we need a true number 1.

I’m a retired MD and I wonder if he might have sudden onset of a herniated disc since there was no obvious injury and out of the blue he is put on IR

In 2019 they moved Jefferson into the slot where he exploded. The scouting report on him had concerns about whether he could win outside.

So Thursday is a new Wednesday since we play on MNF?

What we saw Sunday, is that you can just man up on those WRs and focus on everything else. Josh had the most time of any game this year to throw but guys couldn’t get open. The Pats have good corners but so do a lot of teams. How often are the Bills WRs better than their opponents DBs? Lol, that might only happen during practice 🤣🤣

Tell that to the great Howie Roseman.

He of course projected highly, but it’s hard to tell based on the NFL talent surrounding him what would happen at the next level. Would he be good, or great? There is no sure thing in the draft, and it’s no lock that the high flying circus would continue without the surrounding cast. Context is important, he was not just a one man show. “What made the 2019 LSU offense so special? Joe Brady turned the LSU offense into a heavy pass machine that no one could stop. That season LSU's new high-powered offense averaged 48.4 points per game, scored 40 points in 12 of their 15 games, while breaking every record. Joe Burrow had very good weapons at wide receiver named Justin Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase.Apr 4, 2025”

My back-of-the-napkin math has that at ~42 million cap hit to have two low-round rookie QBs.

Are you saying that Bills getting a game tying FG with 230 left is a difficult task? Time didn’t run out in that game, they ran out of downs.
