Certainly not after tonight’s game. I think you go after Shanahan or Mcvay in the off-season. Shanahan aint winning a super bowl with purdy and Stafford is at the end. If it takes a 1st rounder, so be it. As for rest of this season, it’s mcdermott unless the wheels fall off which I could actually see happen. This team hasnt played good football except for 5 minutes against the ravens and a half against the lowly Jets. We look like a poorly coached team.

Hurts to say but this should be his last season in a Bills jersey. LB is gonna be a massive need next offseason.

3 was on the offense...Coleman fumble. Was instant 3 points for Pats.

Point #5 is spot on regarding Coleman. I really want him to succeed but I don't see it happening. He is a one trick jump ball pony. Shakir is great in the slot, but we don't have a boundary wide receiver as good as a 30 plus year old Diggs coming off a torn ACL last season. I know we had limited dollars to acquire a WR for last season and this season, but Samuel and Palmer seem like wasted investments. Secondary has been bad, but I see almost no chance that the Bills try to trade for a CB. That would be an admission by the front office that signing White and drafting Max and Strong was a poor use of available resources this offseason. Linebacker is a big concern now, particularly if Williams' injury is long term and Milano goes on IR. We have no depth at this position.

The Bill$ $ay “thank you very much fan$!”

taking less penalties is part of playing better than us.....

It was sort of a Murphy's Law kind of night for us. They had some mistakes too, but we really left the door open for them on a few occasions. I think we get the split, and probably win comfortably next time. But the division is a bigger worry. Their schedule is ridiculously soft.

The Buffalo coaches and GM saved their jobs by drafting Allen and can't help but sabotage his career instead.

We have about 15-20 grown men throwing a temper tantrum right now. Don’t expect rationality.

The lions did exactly what we just did in week 1. Every team has a bad game, it’s just what happens. The Bills are still right at the top of the league.

So i want to know why it took to the second half for cook to get runs with the counter action. Stop being cute and tricky . Let James cook

Diggs might be the only guy who can get under Allen’s skin. Doesnt help that he goes to war against good defenses with butter knives at WR.. so when he starts pressing, it’s very noticeable.

I think so... But I also think there is a happy medium that they can't seem to figure out... There are ways to control the clock without doing dumb, risky things. And they do sometimes... But I feel like they have become so formula-matic on Offense and have moved way to far away from a controlled short and intermediate passing game that they are causing their own staling issues. When Diggs was here they would kill teams with the short and intermediate stuff and the chains were always moving. Now it's just too many runs and screens. Watch the rest of the NFL... There's almost always someone open... But the QB play is up and down... We have Josh... The Bills will go full games and not take advantage of obvious weakness in opponents Defenses and literally go right at their strengths... It's cool when it works... But it's risky, and I just don't think it's that smart tbh... But what do I know...

As we continue to see Brady’s playcalling, I believe one thing is for certain. He has zero creativity and is far too predictable. Even last year on the QB sneaks, it was always Josh to the left. I’m amazed how they’ve yet to call a shotgun jump pass with Josh faking the Qb run. Brady literally has so many plays at his disposal but he sticks to the basics. If you scout the Bills you know exactly what they are going to try to do. Heck, you could even run some option plays with Josh and Cook. When he does try to get creative, they’ve been massive failures or when he calls them there is no reason to!

I am having an argument with a friend about DPI. My question is ; can a defensive player get called for DPI in 2025 without touching the receiver?

It's recency bias. The DEF was pretty bad in the 2nd half (17 points allowed on 4 drives including game winning FG) and that's what people remember. DEF was amazing the 1st half and even with the bad 2nd half still out-played the offense.

I'm pretty sure the all-22 will show that some of those open WRs you saw were not actually open. A couple times I saw Allen spot a target and gear up to throw but a Pats defender wisely got into the throwing lane with their arms up which forced Allen to retract the ball. Vrabel had his defense ready for those plays. They were containing Allen whenever he scrambled right and staying disciplined on the back end. When Maye got out of the pocket Diggs was always working himself open, which of course we know he can do at a very high level. Allen doesn't have that guy. Allen doesn't turn down open targets like he did at times when he was younger. The primary issue is that his targets aren't getting open, which has been an issue in every game and this is the first time it really bit us.

I guess I was assuming a great offensive coach would have the pieces and weapons in place to run his scheme but I see your point

They're solid but not elite, in my opinion anyway. Should be interesting for sure.

Yes - as I already said, he could have hit Cook for a 3 yard catch (and gotten Cook crushed by two linebackers). He did NOT have Palmer for an easy 7-8 yards. I know what game you’re playing - it’s the “I see a player momentarily open while the QB is going trough his progressions, looking to the complete opposite side of the field” When Allen reaches Palmer in his progressions, he is blanketed downfield. You wanted Allen to throw thid 3 yard crosser… on 3rd and 10… to make it 4th and 7? Thats what you’re going with? Thats your argument? Instead of throwing to an open Shakir … who is past the sticks? Which is what he did. Some of you argue just to argue.

32 left to be exact.

Admit it or not, the refs had a huge hand in the outcome of this game. Between the noncalls on NE and the nonsense in the first half, they are responsible for the swing in the game. Our defense continues to be cheeks. They left all the Charmin on the field tonight. The Secondary is especially putrid. Benford getting beat often again as well. Groot makes two plays and goes back to anonymity. Everyone out of position. A ton of missed tackles. Horrible coaching. The use of Cook was absolutely baffling. Ray Davis never needs to be on the field. We have a bunch of Smurf WR's outside of Coleman, and he's not there mentally half the time. I'd almost welcome Gabe back at this point. Everybody eats is nice and all, but you need guys who can go and s.n.a.t.c.h (really, bleeping that word out?) a plate. We don't have that. Allen made an absolutely boneheaded play on that throw in the red redzone. Just idiotic. Babich should have been fired immediately post game. He won't be, and we'll see the same crap product until we're staring at giving the division away. Stefon's middle name is still Summer's Eve.

I will say this, I doubt the Pats win the rematch (or at least not in the same way). Doubt the reffing will be as wacky, and I'm going to guess the Bills will prevent Maye rolling out to his right.

The Bills had more yards, including rushing, more time of possession, more first downs, and more 3rd down conversions. BUT, they also had more penalties and more turnovers. That was the difference in the game. They...with the help of Hoculi...lost the game. Diggs was huge for them. He was huge for the Bills when he played here...just not in the playoffs.
