Yes. And I think that's the problem. He's playing good, but the big plays just aren't there. It reminds me of Cornelius Bennett. After several years, the Bills D moved him from outside LB to inside. A buddy mentioned his tackle numbers went way up. But that's what MLBs do...make tackles. Problem was, it took away the Biscuit's big play abilities; sacks, tackles for loss, tipped balls and interceptions. For a number of reasons, the Bills D just doesn't have the inside help. Perhaps if they did Rousseau would be in a position to make some splash plays. It's just not there, but it is sorely needed.

So much left to play out over the final month... But the Bills are definitely going to the playoffs. I can't imagine a scenario where it doesn't happen. Even if I'm pessimistic using the playoff machine we always get in. I picked the rest of the season fairly reasonably with not too many surprises and the scenario it came up with was the 12-5 Bills at the 8-9 Bengals in the Wild Card round. All the Bengals need to do is beat the Ravens twice and have the Ravens lose to NE and GB, all very possible. Steelers are done. THAT would set up well for dragon slaying. Beat the Bengals. Beat the Chiefs. Win the SB.

it's not your TV unfortunately.

True, but let's see how they actually do against Det and GB. They've only played one of those four games so far, and they were spanked by Det.

I didn’t say obsession. I said love affair. Let’s try to be accurate. I know that’s a struggle for you. Nevertheless. That’s an impassioned defense of Hillary Clinton! Good for you, though “what difference, at this point, does it make?” I’m sure she passes Niagara Bill’s patriotism test. That’s what matters.

Here are the current EDGE street FAs. For those losing their minds over this, who else did you want? Shaquil Barrett Yannick Ngakoue Jerry Hughes Casey Toohill James Smith-Williams Tyus Bowser Oshane Ximines Khalid Duke Demone Harris Carlos Basham Tanoh Kpassagnon

The one thing I will say is that Lawson used to excel at setting the edge and remaining disciplined in run support (something Bosa has been horrible at accomplishing). If nothing else, even if he isn't active on game-day, maybe Lawson can help coach up the other d-linemen?

I went through and picked the games and the Bengals won their division at 8-9 It's not crazy. Steelers have a lot of tough games left, and Baltimore has a couple (GB and NE). If the Bengals sweep them and win their easier ones it could happen. BTW this is with the Bills beating the Bengals.

Someone's having a fine Tuesday! If it gets roundy upset, we're going in the right direction.

I agree, so why did it become hard? Why did the focus shift away from helping each student be there best?

Haha, yeah, my mistake. We are away for the Steelers. For some reason I had it fixed in my head that this next one was home - wishful thinking? Ok, I'm feeling worse now. 🤪

The Steelers are living and dying on a positive turnover differential and redzone offense/defense. They are ranked #4 in turnover differential, tied for #3 in redzone offense , and #11 in redzone defense. If the Bills can force the Steelers to kick FG half the time in the redzone we probably win.

I wanted to like Brady, but I think he needs to go, and maybe right now. Things I did not like: 1. Overdoing the tush-push against KC in the playoffs; 2. Not giving help to the Oline against Houston, which was clearly being beaten by 4 rushers; 3. Not getting plays in timely for Josh to make adjustments; 4. Overdoing the lateral screen to Shakir/Dalton/Ty (worked for a while); 5. Getting too cute too often; 6. Not scheming the running backs into the passing game more consistently; 7. Running Cook 4x in a row in one series vs Houston; 8. Not scheming enough quick hitters where the ball comes out early when we are facing pressure. Our wide receivers are not good, but they were worse when Josh started in 2018. People got open. And if no WR is ever open, put two backs in the game and get them matched up on LBs, use TEs other than Kincaid more. There are answers, I believe, and it seems he is not finding them.

It is remarkable the year is 2025, and we are gonna see the defence have Jordan poyer, Jordan Phillips and Shaq Lawson play meaningful snaps lol. Not hating on Poyer as he's been fine. But just crazy

McDermott needs to be calling the defense all game, every game, in the playoffs. I don’t know what they’re doing right now, and maybe he is, but I want to know that this is his gameplan and his play calling when it matters. None of this Defense gets slaughtered for a half causing Josh to go into press mode and then we figure it out and maybe, maybe not McDermott takes over or makes adjustments in the 2nd half. Nah, who’s responsible? I want to know. Brady.. zero confidence in. This man is a joke. I get visually annoyed anytime I even see his face come across my timeline.

Makes me appreciate Bruce even more!

As others have said Mike McDaniel Alex Tanney Mike Kaufka Bills need to transition to a WC offense for the 2nd half of Josh's career and move away from EP Defense is a lost cause because McDermott will micromanage whoever is DC and no competent DC will want to work with that. It will be an internal hire only

I don't really know how betting lines are set as I'm not a gambler, but I wonder if part of it is setting a line that gets people to move on it (last game anyone saw of the Bills was at Houston). I would think, being on the road, the Bills would be like -2 at most, if not underdogs.

What do Bills scouts get paid for? Do they keep coming back to meetings saying “nope, we looked all over and didn’t see anything good, but just wait until the draft — we’ve cherry picked the very best underwhelming set of dlinemen. Just go with our old players til then. Can we go home now?” I mean this is something well beyond a bad cliche at this point. How can Beane as a grown man look himself in the mirror and not see this as utterly ridiculous?

I find the “your message board behavior should be more like mine” routine to be a little on the self-important side. Whatever works for you. Also - stop whining.

I’m the guy with an obsession? Why don’t you start by acknowledging what Hillary actually said? Yes, it was stupid and disrespectful. But there’s more to the quote than that to which you alluded. And, snowflakes like you take it out of context because it fits with your performative outrage.
