At least a couple of those teams were dealing with mediocrity on defense though. If Allen can be the same Allen as past Novembers, and Joe Brady can come up with a half way decent game plan that gives this team a chance... there is hope. People forget... Allen had his worst game against the Texans last year... and the offense had its worst game against the Texans this year... Good news is, we don't have to play a defense like that again. Only the Eagles concern me in that regard. The Steelers defense has been allowing a lot of points this year and is nowhere near the level of Houston.

He was playing like an all-pro, came back from an injury and was still playing like an all-pro, and then got hurt again. Horrible luck.

I hope you aren't planning on going to the game

Has anybody asked Brady about the declining effectiveness of mesh routes and receivers not getting open in recent press conferences?

We watch other games, just differently than we watch the Bills. Our assessment of the Eagles or Bucs is much more rational than our assessment of the Bills. All fans are like that, though. I think most of us would rationally say that the Eagles loss yesterday was just one close division game against a desperate team, but this thread exists on the Eagles forum right now: https://www.eaglesmessageboard.com/topic/13704-season-over-bad-team-one-more-win-left-at-most/

Agree on all of this - we just need to take care of our own business, starting this weekend in Pittsburgh. Every team in the hunt has "swing" type games, that can go either way. All 4 divisions are technically up for grabs. A lot of these teams also play each other over the final 6 weeks --- definitely safe to say that a 10-7 record will likely get you in this year.

Listen….I’m as about as anti MAGA as you can get…but the guy who won that ncaa race was a freaking DUDE when he got to college….she is correct

When you type this stuff….do you actually believe them?

People keep talking as if the 49ers have released Aiyuk. They have not. If you read carefully, it turns out that the 49ers voided his contract guarantees back in July, but we're just learning about this now for some reason. Everything beyond that is speculation and talking heads trying to put two and two together to generate content. Kyle Shanahan, when asked about it, doesn't dismiss him returning to the team. Strange situation, but as of now, he's still a Niner. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47065408/niners-shanahan-admits-aiyuk-contract-situation-unusual

So posters can’t reference a season from 4 years ago to make a point, but you can reference a QB that played nearly 40years ago to make yours? I guess all that matters is the bills suck, and you’re here to tell us you’re right?

How How is it worse than Diggs? He's far less public than Diggs. Or is this because he went shopping yesterday? I really don't care right now except introducing an element that opens up the offense. A #1 WR from a Super Bowl team is available, we should be trying.

AFC is so wide open this season --- there isn't a "dominant"/elite team, just a bunch of really good teams - who are all capable of making a deep run/going to the SB. I think Denver is the best, most well-rounded team and will be the toughest "out". Get in and anything can happen. Unfortunately, we need a lot of things to go our way for the division title at this point. Basically can't afford to lose another AFC game -- have to play in New England with them coming off a bye week -- then need New England to drop a game against the Jets or Dolphins. We'd need to beat them record-wise, which will take us running the table IMO. OR we need them to drop 3 AFC games (1 to us and 1 to either Dolphins or Jets, and 1 to Ravens) and for us to go undefeated in remaining AFC games (Philly game wouldn't matter). Playoffs start for us this Sunday --- that has to be the attitude from here on out.

The Steelers game is really the one we need to win. It's at home, and I do believe we can beat the Jets and Browns. The Bengals and Patriots are a toss-up, and until the Eagles laid an egg yesterday I had assumed that was going to be a loss. I've been thinking that would be the case for several games this year, and then the Bills end up winning them. So, I really have no idea, but I do know being at home should be helpful in this one.

It might be a revelation for the ages but maybe the defensive genius should devise a scheme and system that is both easy to learn and effective? Because I watch in complete amazement several games each and every week of the season as other team's defense has rookies and second year players making an impact. And I wonder why aren't we drafting players like this? Bigger, smarter, faster, more instictive, and better football players making plays.

And they all come back and PRAISE the McD and Beane culture....which seems to be a requirement to bring them back. I know its happens on other teams, but it sure seems to happen more here with players who are 30+ and can't stick anywhere else.

HAS BEEN,outstanding. This team isnt those teams

I wouldn’t call Gabe an old retread. He got overpaid by another team, got injured and then found his way back. And he is still relatively young.

I don’t think so. They are too severely flawed on both sides of the ball. I think they’ll lose to Pittsburgh Sunday handily and that will be it for them.

How many LBs will Darnell Washington retire Sunday? Also, I fear for Josh’s health behind this stinks on ice O-line vs TJ Watt

QB - We are set here although I would like draft a developmental backup basically just because it's probably cheaper. But if Josh wants one of his boys as a backup that's fine RB - I would look to trade Ray Davis if we could get anything of value but he's a fine piece to have for sure. I like the room WR - Need just so much help here. We have to get a true #1. Almost at all costs. In an ideal world I think you'd add another WR too but likely won't be possible TE - Knox either has to go or needs to take a huge paycut. In addition with Kincaid's inability to stay healthy, I may look at this position in the draft again OL - Very interesting spot with multiple free agents and Torrence a FA the year after this and Dawkins on the decline and not sure he's mentally into it. This is the one position I am confident can be coached up though with Kromer DL - I mean I don't know. It better be good considering the resources put into it but probably need a big splash here too LB - All 5 LB's on the current roster could be replaced/upgraded in my opinion. They won't be but man it's not good. What happened to McD being able to coach up and develop LB's? CB - Fine here especially if Hairston can be the #1 guy. Benford as a #2 would be very good. Do need a NCB probably S - Need someone to go with Bishop. Either Hancock here or Hancock at NCB There are holes. Lots of them. But with Josh Allen you have a chance so it's doable.
