Unpopular opinion, but they should offer Josh, after what this coaching staff and front office (all of them deserve to be fired, btw) have done to him, a chance to go play for his childhood team, the 49ers. Flame away!

The book on Brady is out there. DCs are coaching up their defenders to the point where they are running the Bills routes. It is aggravating to see not change in route trees.

11-6 and either the 6th or 7th seed in the playoffs

That may be true but we have a much worse coach and defense. This team also didn't already get over the psychological hurdle of winning a championship. They still haven't gotten over the hump and the cycle has already passed They need to pivot to a shanahan archetype. McDermott is not evolving bro

McDermott calls the defense. IMO I think he’s doing a good job holding the defense together and keeping it afloat despite all the injures they have especially up front. Joe Brady and Josh run the show on offense.

I think I read that Bernard is pretty easy to get out of after next year. So we’re stuck with him in 26 but I think can get out somewhat cleanly after.

That is coaching right there. Position coach and OC have to drill it until they get it to be second nature.

I see that I'm in the super minority via the poll but I don't want to miss the playoffs and I don't want Beane gone. I think McDermott is the burnout... It's his defense that has let us down repeatedly. He's had the luxury of passing the blame to whichever coordinator he assigned to run this supposedly complex scheme that isn't effective at all. He should've been taken over the play calling on that side of the ball if nobody else has run it correctly. It's literally what has held us back from championship contention. A boatload of resources have been invested into it and it has yet to yield any significant results in which one can even remotely say it's a solid unit. We've passed on numerous offensive resources to address it and we just dedicated an entire draft to it. We need a different scheme period. As for Beane, I don't see him as the terrible GM that others seem to think he is. We had that during the drought years. He has had the luxury of 3 picks within the top 20 his entire tenure, while overhauling a roster that was fresh off of years (close to 2 decades) of terrible management. He got us Allen. He got us Diggs. He invested and rebuilt the OL to a top unit. He misses on some picks just like any other GM and he has some bad contracts like any other GM. I think he's tried to appease his HC to a fault over the years and that has skewed the perception of him. I'd be good with Beane working in tandem with another HC.

Man, if you didn't put that in parentheses, I never would have known what you meant

It’s because Joe Brady has this dumb philosophy where he thinks we can impose our will on defenses. Why didn’t we have a playbook full of blitz beating plays against the Falcons? Same reason. It’s arrogance and probably just a lack of competence.

This post got me thinking. It's not Allen's problem if he isn't wired to be an a-hole and yell at his team mates. The fact that Brady & Rogers did it is irrelevant as they are different people with very different personalities. Just check out Mahommes who IMO is more like Allen then Brady/Rogers temperament wise. There isn't a lot of footage showing him yelling at his teammates and after the game he takes almost all the blame and doesn't throw teammates under the bus. Matt Stafford also won a recent SB with the Allen temperament. So while I agree that for some guys this works there are also plenty of examples where SB winning QB's don't have to become someone they're not in order to hold teammates accountable. In those situations like KC & LA: * the coaches play the bad cop holding players accountable. * the GM's bring in guys who are self motivated and don't need the QB yelling at them to do their job. Remember the bickering Bills? t hit it's dysfunctional peak when Kelly started throwing teammates under the bus (remember Howard Ballard) and Thomas publicly called him out on it. This supremely talented team went 9 - 7 and lost in the first round of the playoffs. But Kelly got the message and stopped yelling at his team mates and Thomas STHU and the rest was history. So rather then demand that Allen change his basic personality how about the Bills change the coach & GM and make accountability their responsibility.

They won't mail it in if the #1 seed in the NFC is at stake.

I think the argument isn’t that it would count but would have demonstrated better vision by Allen. I speaks to Josh being rattled or not seeing open guys. Penalty isn’t relevant.

@Pittsburgh- Win vs Cincinnati- Win @ NE- Loss @ Cle- Win vs Phil- Loss vs NYJ- Win Wildcard loss to the Patriots, Colts, Broncos or Ravens.

We can pick up about ~$20mil I think by moving on from Taron, Knox and Samuel next year. Bass needs to take a pay cut or be replaced. Guys like Groot, Bernard, and Benford we are welded to. Bernard especially seems like that one's gonna hurt for a couple years. As things stand I cannot fathom a world where both his health AND his play on the field comes close to living up to that extension.

@Pittsburgh- Loss vs Cincinnati- Loss @ NE- Loss @ Cle- Win vs Phil- Loss vs NYJ- Win Miss the playoffs with a 9-8 record.

No trolling at all. The one play in mind writing this was Johnson being dragged four yards on 4th and 1 when he hit the guy behind the line of scrimmage.

Its past time to rebuild.
