I do think that after nearly a decade things can get "stale" at any place of employment. The message has been said so long that it just becomes a catch phrase and not a rally cry

Oh this will be unpopular... To rebuild around Josh I'm dumping every vet contract I can, unless it would result in catastrophic dead cap, for Draft picks... That would include everything I could for an after June 1st designation if necessary. Outside of Josh, Jimbo, Ty, Gilliam, Spencer Brown, Grable, Van Pran-Granger, Shakir, Shavers, Bishop, and what is left of the 2025 Draft class I couldn't care less... Now... I fully realize you're not going to get rid of all those players. You have to field a team and the cap won't allow everything I would want to do in the first year... But not a single one of the others would be untouchable... Rebuild the Scouting department...Clear out cap room...Get to work... Draft like crazy...

I don't think it is fair to call it a circus. They haven't been a clown show. They have been professional and methodical. It just hasn't worked and/or they haven't quite been good enough.

This may just be me ranting. But the attitude of this team needs to change. Who remember when Allen was training with Drake Maye this offseason? They were all buddy buddy. Look where this has lead this team now. Not saying at all Allen is responsible for Mayes success. But training with your closest division rival in the offseason is just a recipe for disaster. Allen is the leader, and right now we need him, but what example does is set when your team leader is training with the guy who is 9-2 and has overtaken not only the afc east, but the afc as a whole. Drake Maye is about to reck havok for the next two decades while we just watch. Sickening really. Nothing we can do about it but just watch and remember our “glory days” of 5 straight Super Bowl wins 🤣 oh wait, that was just afc east division titles. Team is such a joke. I don’t know why I care anymore.

Beane has been focused on making one play more than KC and believes everything else is roses. No matter how much McDs D stinks he’ll never try something new. He wants coaches “yes man” guys, maybe “yes ma’am” after sporting those new glasses. Either way it’s just so he can call the shots and they take the fall when ***** goes sour. Young players gotta have a masters degree in the playbook before they see the field and old vets hold onto their jobs despite poor play. Did anyone really have high hopes when Tre and Poyer were signed. You know they were gonna see the field. Strong looked solid in his game against Baltimore and gets pushed to the side when Tre comes back. Poyer was on practice squad until Rapp gets hurt then jumps Hancock on the depth chart. Look at Bishop, what do you think was more beneficial for him, sitting behind Hamlin or getting on the field so he can play and learn? If he took a step last year late in the season like he has this year at mid season it might of helped us in playoffs. If we make playoffs this year will Poyer make an impact or be a liability like he was the last time he played for us in playoffs? Wasting our time with these vets just play the young guys and see what happens. Been saying for years this team is just treading water.

Ive been griping on the board this morning and Im not feeling better about it, so my go to when im this frustrated and angry and is give TBD a break for a couple of days. It’s not that i don't like you guys, I'm just too frustrated right now. My only hope is we pull it together and finish 11-6, but the delusions of 12-5, to 13-4 are gone. The AFCEW is gone. We can merely hope for a wildcard and maybe with Oliver back, Benford healthy, Bosa’s hand healed up, and McD taking full control of the defense can mayb get us a wildcard win, and like always a division loss. If Terry doesnt wise up for some serious changes, he reaps what he sows.

Nah, you're not a "bad fan" but your one of those fans nibbling around the edges of the real problems. And Allen is not a part of any real problem on the Bills. Over the last 6 seasons including this one Allen has repeatedly demonstrated that he has the talent to win a Super Bowl. The failure of the Bills to get over the hump this season and in past seasons has almost nothing to do with Allen and almost everything to do with the strategic focus of the Bills paired with their inability to build a SB caliber roster. They have the QB and RB and RT and maybe going forward the safety but not much else. They clearly don't have the coaching or front office skills of the most recent SB winners: KC, LA Rams and the Eagles.

It seemed pretty flukey we were even IN the game. We literally had one offensive touchdown - one! And that was a long Cook run where the Texans D inexplicably broke down. I have a feeling that had the drive pushed into the redzone, we would have had to settle for a FG. And our other TD was a crazy sort of return where it's very likely not a TD if Davis didn't run into a player on his own team. The Texans dominated that game on D - and did enough on offense. Had we managed to pull it out in the end, it would have just given us a false sense of things.

it’s really super simple. all 53 guys we have are talented. Even our practice squad guys are. There’s a reason we get excited for WR8 flashing potential basically every year. the problem is the fringe guys can flash it here and there while the elite can do it week in and week out consistently. do you not recall getting excited about 2 weeks of good play from some low end player for like 20 years? Allen can’t carry that all by himself but sometimes they will flash alongside him. You are confusing skill with results in all samples

They probably do as a WC But i would rather they miss out for a few reasons: 1. There is a very slight chance that Pegula might make a necessary change or two. Not holding my breath in any event. 2. Pats would be assured of the (theoretically) tougher schedule in 2026. 3. Higher draft picks in each round because let's face it - we need a re-tool. Not that Beane knows what to do with them anyway. 4. A longer rest period would probably help our recovery and give us more time to plan for the future 5. The entire organisation might finally stop drinking its own bathwater. Heck, they might even consider getting an X receiver.

100% this. If the season will be salvaged, a message needs to be sent that Dawkins 1/2 assed effort last night is not tolerable. The Cowboys benched PIckens and Lamb for the first drive. I'd go even further. What Dawkins did (or didn't do) yesterday was more inexcusable than Coleman missing a meeting. You're supposed to be a team leader and you get your butt kicked every play, then false start, then joking around at the end of the game, then blame Davis. I exempt him. He kept trying to play even though injured, becoming a massive liability. One of the coaches should have subbed him out before they (eventually) did. This coaching staff is a total joke. Terrible and soft team culture, no game day IQ, etc.

That wasn't a check down. It was a designed slip screen. Gabe was running a clear out. I believe they actually said this all on the broadcast.

There is no such thing as a sure win no matter which team is playing... this goes for any team. How many people got bounced out of their survivor league last year... right off the bat.

Ummmm... our D is the reason the Bills were even in this game and that's the side of the ball where injuries have absolutely depleted the team. Our offense scored 13 points in this game and did bizarre things like run James Cook on 5 plays in a row including a 4th and 1 play where he was clearly tired and trying to pull himself out of the game. There are games to be Critical of McDermott as the defensive play caller. This wasn't one of them.

We have no idea which side was the Heeler or Coyote side,........all i know is that our dog is built like a brick **** house and too much attitude.

Yeah that gives us time breakers over pretty much every wild card contender except Hou and Jax Tell your wife that the next time she nags you!

Hilarious that he threw Keon under the bus and then follows it up with the worst performance of his career 😆

Josh throughout his NFL career has been dealing with 3 OC trainee’s! Can we get one of the best QBs in the game an OC that doesn’t need training wheels.

We kept seeing them take McDonald and Hunter off the field on first and second, and then bring them in on third rested and ready to rush. Why didnt we try to up tempo them and keep them from subbing? Why didnt we call faster hitting pass plays early in downs besides the wr screens that got blown up? Do we ever run a slant? I was shocked that we finally started seeing some pick plays on the last drive, but why wait until then to bring them out?

it's a violent game. It requires dogs and loose wires. The best teams create a culture that can absorb these types and not splinter from it. We aren't that type of org. This team has no edge. The two guys that gave us the most of that edge were Diggs and Hollins.

the HC is a major reason why this stupid culture persists. I'd trade Dawkins this offseason. Get a OT who gives a shi* about winning here. in fact, I'd even try to trade him to the Browns since he is fine with loosing.

Anything can happen. The funny thing is the Bills play well against the good teams which are the ones they will be facing.

yes. as is capology. a study of the NFL salary cap 🙂 for real

I would fire the head coach. Many reasons. 1. He is a defensive head coach, yet his defenses are never great, especially in big moments. All that investment in DL over the years and they consistently get no pressure. This isn't "golly, injuries got us" this is a 9 year problem. The Bills defense should look like the Houston defense: everyone locked down, constant pressure from all over, physical, nasty. We have just not seen that much, if at all, over the years. So what's the point of having a HC who sees the game through a defensive point of view? 2. Once Brady is fired (an inevitability at this point) he will be hiring his 5th OC. All but Daboll were fired, and that is with Josh Allen as the QB. That should be a pipeline to a HC job, not to being fired because the offense is weak. Why is the offense bad? Because the HC sets the tone for what he wants: low event football. We even worked the clock during our last drive last night. He didn't like Daboll because Daboll was all about high event football. So what if we turn it over twice? We're till going to score 35-40, so it won't matter. This is the opposite of what McDermott prefers. Yes, he is ok with it when it's "needed" (Tampa Bay game last week) but it isn't a way he wants to play. 3. He has had 7 complete seasons of Allen, and this is #8. This team does not look like its going anywhere. So 8 seasons of an all time great QB, with nothing to show for it. Not even a SB berth, let alone win. Meanwhile I've seen Hurts play in 2, winning one vs KC in a blowout. 4. Here's the kicker: at this point, every single season feels and looks the same: Decent start midseason slump constant defensive injuries (partly due to scheme, partly due to having 225 lb LBers and older guys) consistently having to bring back previous players during the season because new guys are either unable to learn the scheme or just aren't good enough "Allen looks miserable" stories Offensive struggles loss in the playoffs, usually to KC So, it stands to reason that having had 8 years of the McDermott Show why would anyone expect year 9, 10, or 11 to be the one where his team breaks through? Given almost a decade of evidence, it's almost assured that 2026 would be some version of whatever went before. Same with 2027. When is it enough? Giving McDermott the chance to hire a 5th OC (who will almost definitely be an on staff promotion) is literally insane. We've seen that too! Here's how it goes: Early on: This guy is great! What an upgrade! I hope we don't lose him to a HC job... Middle: This offense is too predictable... End stages: "Allen looks miserable"... the offense is one dimensional.. not enough weapons... Enough is enough, but as I type this I realize one terrible truth: There is ZERO and I mean ZERO chance McDermott is let go. Not this year, not next, and not the one after that. Likely the same with Beane, unless the other part owners make enough noise behind the scenes that McDermott feels the need to sperate himself from Beane and throw him under the bus (which Beane also deserves to go, don't get me wrong).

TICK TOCK MAGA!!!
