I keep wondering if the team feels like we do. They probably do. For us, nothing really matters but a SB now. We're not excited about the regular season, or regular season games - we have a spirited thread going right now about whether this team is even fun to watch now. And I have to believe the team feels that way. I don't think this is fun for them anymore. They're pros and should be able to rise above that, but human psychology is human psychology.

Every team has player specifications for what their scheme needs the Bills are not unique on that. Indeed even the teams you probably think are more just draft the best player are probably the strictest on that specification - Ravens and Eagles for example . But I don't think it is ever "just get me a fast linebacker." And if it is then Beane failed with Terrel Bernard! Although to be fair to Beane he did take the best remaining linebacker on the board when he selected Bernard two rounds ahead of where most had him pegged. He is actually an example of a good draft choice (though I am less persuaded he is a good contract extension and said that at the time). They do value coverage ability at linebacker, they value length at edge and at corner, they value movement skills on the offensive line. But I don't think it is their player specifications that is hurting them with the exception that I think they do under value speed, generally across the roster. I think their positional value is the bigger issue. And that is on Beane. He drafts to the Gettleman / Hurney rules. And he tells us himself that is what he believes in. Defensive front 7 and Quarterbacks early, oline and running backs next, boundary players last. I know he has drafted two 1st round corners as well but that is only really cos he whiffed so badly on the first one. Elam, Hairston, Bishop and Taron are the only DBs he has taken in the first four rounds in SEVEN drafts.

So can we expect a Democrat party change on abortion, a Catholic doctrine?

We even got a lucky fluke kick return and still lost. two broken play touchdowns and yet still beaten by a backup QB

Not real.

According to beane, our wr group is fine.

In fairness, we saw a Texans like performance against Mahomes from this Defense a few weeks ago with Hoecht. But it can’t be we lose one guy and the Defense falls apart. If the Texans lost Will Anderson, who’s a Top 5 DE, would their Defense fall apart? Of course not.

In a way, this game somewhat reminds me of the Week 4 2024 game at Baltimore. Whereas Baltimore brought it on blitzes IIRC, last night it was from the entire Houston front-4. Texans and Baltimore's coverage was tight although Buffalo's WRs couldn't separate in either game and Josh got knocked around each time. The following week at Houston was bad with Josh going something like 9 of 30 passing, which prompted the trade for Amari Cooper.

Complete hoax.

I've defended him ad nauseum on here constantly. The Texans oline was trash and Bosa is probably not 💯. Rousseau completely disappeared So yeah cook me I'm not defending these guys anymore Everything yesterday was clearly known. The Texans season was on the line. They were going to play a nasty physical grind it out desperate game and we needed to match that Mentally and physically. We aren't tough enough, more so mentally and it's why we're not champions. It's all a reflection of the coach We didn't do it. And that's so much of this organizations problem which goes back to even the super bowl years ironically Anytime we gotta get into a proverbial street fight, they get out coached, out schemed, not tough enough, we play scared, and it's just tiresome. The one guy who is the opposite is Allen because when it was the biggest moment, he answered it. Tired of the other losers on this team And yes you can call Rousseau a loser too Last night was such a disappointment on so many levels

He's a decent player, but I was against re-signing him. I was also against re-signing Oliver. Our pass rush and run defense haven't been good, so why bring back players who have contributed to that?

We saw it for 2 quarters against Carolina. And it looked like it had potential. Then Oliver went down. Then Hoecht the next week. And then the ship sank.

I’ve been telling my friends all year. Dawkins controller died again.

And Josh replies "what the hell are we doing here"

Mentally, I’d agree. Physically, he’s the toughest player I’ve ever seen in my life. But Mahomes has that burning desire.. that mental fury inside him. It says a lot that we are all “whoaaaa” when Allen yells “What are we doing!?” to Trubisky after another Brady disasterclass. That shouldn’t be so rare given where we are right now. Mahomes has multiple Super Bowls and still is maniacally driven to get back. I’ll acknowledge it’s probably tougher when you feel you’re swimming upstream against the current that is Beane/McDermott compared to Reid/Veach.

Too bad He has the tools to be great

If Dennison, Daboll, & Dorsey had gone on to have success, maybe you could say it's McDermott causing the offensive woes. McDermott isn't calling long developing mesh concepts when Josh is getting instant pass rush in his face. So Brady gets the most blame in my opinion. But McDermott does pick the OC. And he doesn't have a good track record so far. And there is a dearth of talent on this roster which largely falls on Beane and his mediocre drafting.

Sweet baby Jesus.

He did it several times yesterday. Allen is desperately trying to make something happen and Dawkins decides to give up halfway through the play.

It's rare. - teef I love trans woman c.o.c.k - also teef

And they've scored a lot of points this year to. That happens when your MVP level QB gooses the numbers when he puts on the Super Man cape. Unfortunately in the football world beyond High School one guy, no matter how great, can not be expected to function at an elite level every single game. So I'll keep bitching about the WR group because while it wasn't very good last season it's gotten worse with the departures of Cooper & Hollins.

Ya were saving that for their 70 million shopping spree this summer....

I believe teams are running away from Rousseau because the interior DL is getting blown off the ball and Bosa has struggled all year to set the edge on runs. Rousseau has actually saved quite a few runs from being explosive plays because he crashed down on the backside and stopped it for a 1 or 2 yard gain when it likely would have gone for a house call. I don't know that Rousseau is ever going to be a double digit sack guy, but his run defense is very good.
