The league is as balanced as it’s ever been this year. Houston just flat out kicked out butts up front and we still had a chance to win until our veteran LT did his weekly false start crap. The Miami and Falcons games we simply stunk across the board.

It's the system he uses that brings out the best in Allen. Ehardt Perkins system has even helped Drake Maye immensely.

the 6 points don’t count because we turned it over? We were playing Davis Mills. It would be nice to get a carry job by the defense playing against a backup QB on a short week when the offense can’t get it going for once. I guess we need to hand out a couple more $20M AAV extensions or spend a few more offseasons exclusively on the defense to expect them to perform above average against a career backup.

It took them what.. 3 years to build a great defense? We are still searching for one after 9 years.

During the 4th quarter of Thursday’s game, I remember wondering to my dad “how the hell are the Texans 5-5???”

49ers were very injured that day other then that Salah Defense gave us fits while he was in New York and look what Ulbrich did to us this yr plus Ryans has shut us down 2yrs in a row now.

I’ve been saying this for ages!!!!! That is a direct reflection of coaching!!!! We struggle against “no name/backup” QBs immensely! It goes back to that playoff game where we almost lost to the Dolphins backup QB. And if Rodgers doesn’t play next week for the Steelers, we will struggle and more than likely lose that game as well…. McD only adjusts his gameplan after halftime. Thats crazy work!!! The Texans should’ve never sniffed 20 points at halftime.

Illegals are the new slaves. And it's the same party that's exploiting them.

20%? That's rare. - teef

Knox is not breaking the bank signing with someone else.

Yep. Stupid. #1 this yr vs. next blew it. Josh is also taking a freakin pounding that’s just not going to work out You know Mrs Allen was on her phone text screaming about the mgt. She’s not going to let Josh get killed for long

Burt Meyer, who created the classic games Lite-Brite, Rock’em Sock’em Robots, and Mouse Trap, passed away at age 99. https://www.aol.com/articles/designer-behind-lite-brite-mouse-214600661.html

I feel that in this year's Draft the Bills will finally make a big move up for either a pass rusher or a WR. They have no A player at either of those important spots and need a stud somewhere. The Bills have to get younger and need a difference maker, not just more average to good players. I agree with GB that the OL needs to be re-tooled a bit. Dion is clearly in decline, but there are decent depth guys on the roster with which to work.

Yep rare has been the occasion where we come out and it looks like we planned to do something specific vs an opponent -- ie, either mitigate their strength or exploit their weakness. We just go out and either match up or we don't and that's that.

We have Josh of course. Despite their poor showing Thursday night the O line is pretty solid, and Cook is having a great year. Get Kincaid back and with Palmer and Davis back we can have a balanced attack again.

We finally get a new stadium… complete with a semi-roof and heated turf that melts ALL the snow. Perfect. Because who doesn’t love the idea of Buffalo football without the one thing we actually enjoy

Check the video that Einstein and Alpha posted in this thread and on this page with Emmanuel Acho breaking down the routes and protection It basically confirms what @Einstein saw

I think my default "silver lining" (often overtaken by my complete Bills cynicism) is that the Bills could win it all even with the team and the cards dealt to them if they just got hot at the right time. They are flawed in several ways but with Allen, the X factor, that can sometimes be overcome . They have been close to doing this (2021) but slipped up at the most crucial stage (13 seconds). I know I'm dating myself here but when I think back on all the years watching the NFL (since 1979) there has been at least one team a decade who was as inconsistent as the Bills are now that somehow has put it all together at the perfect time. They would just have to win 4 games as WC team to accomplish this. These teams did it: 1980–81: Oakland Raiders–Super Bowl XV. 1997–98: Denver Broncos–Super Bowl XXXII. 2000–01: Baltimore Ravens–Super Bowl XXXV. 2005–06: Pittsburgh Steelers–Super Bowl XL. 2007–08: New York Giants–Super Bowl XLII. 2010–11: Green Bay Packers–Super Bowl XLV. 4/6 had great QB's. We have a great QB. The Raiders did it with a rejuvenated Jim Plunkett (who people thought was washed up. The Ravens did it with Trent (pick 6) Dilfer. The one thing that we lack compared to those teams (at the moment) is a solid defense. But get some of these guys back for January, make the WC round and anything can happen!

I've lost count of the number of fans of other teams tell me Allen is easily--easily--the best quarterback in the league who has been criminally paralyzed by a) lack of receivers; and b) Brady. It's glaringly obvious to everyone on the planet except McDermott and Beane.

Dominant road wins last year v the Seahawks and Colts happened after getting pushed around by Houston.

yes in the playoffs they have a referee and a couple of the other crew members who have worked multiple spots waiting in the wings. I notice the ref in the Houston game, who is a University at Buffalo grad, has been working in the league since 2010 and has also worked as a side judge, line judge, and field judge.

I think we also need to think about drafting a new left tackle

If we fired the coaches this offseason, take our lumps next year and eat salary cap, we could be back in action for the 2027 season, Josh's age 31 season. We could be one of the youngest teams in the league again. Imagine Hairston, Bishop, Hancock and Walker as our defensive vets. Josh, Kincaid, Hawes, Shakir and Cook are the offensive vets. Other than these 9 players, our 53 is young and cost-controlled. Imagine a coach who is a great offensive playcaller and hires a great defensive coordinator... and both guys adjust at halftime! Imagine a young, hungry DL with a big 1 tech and dominant ends. Imagine JA with a stock of receivers drafted in 2026 and 2027, plus a bruising running back to complement Cook. Imagine a 50 TD season from Josh and a 15-2 record, a 1 seed, two home playoff games at the new pile. Imagine... It's fun to dream...
