I’m a lapsed Sabres fan. Terry Pegula is responsible for that. Now he’s doing it to my Bills fandom, as well. Someone upstream commented that they don’t want Beane picking the new HC… this team, with an all-time great QB, is *****. Can’t reach their goals with the current staff, that’s becoming clearer with each passing day, can’t rely on the owner to make a competent, informed hire if he actually does have the stones to do what needs to be done (which, if you follow the career of Kevyn Adams, is in serious doubt anyway).

The offense is a hot mess. The defense is even worse and has been all season. Sorry, but I just don't see it. Odds-wise I thought I saw a stat during the game last night where it said that if the Bills lose the game they would have an 87% chance of getting into the playoffs. I don't trust the stat just based on the way this team is playing, the coaching, the injuries, and everything else. I guess the only good news is that the Eagles game that I shelled out a ton of $$ for tickets to may actually mean a lot for the Bills and their chances to make the playoffs. Yeah, call all of this an overreaction but based on the body of games, play, and coaching decisions to date, I vote no. I really hope I'm wrong.

I didnt see a single blitz up until I quit watching in the 3rd.

And I am telling you I'm not going You're the best man I'll ever know There's no way I can ever go No, no, there's no way No, no, no, no way I'm living without you I'm not living without you I don't wanna be free I'm staying, I'm staying And you, and you You're gonna love me You're gonna love me

We are firmly on track for a 9-8 season.

Step 1 Hire a highly qualified forward thinking GM with the balls to say he won't take the job unless Pegula agrees to stay completely away from any football decision making. Preferably a GM with either proven past success or a really good resume building up to the position. Also give the GM full power to hire/fire the coach, Pegula's job is to write the checks and STFU. Otherwise, no deal on accepting a job. Step 2 Immediately fire McDummy and the entire staff save maybe Kromer Step 3 Bring in a progressive offensive minded HC/OC, and a strong highly productive DC Step 4 Purge the roster of all of the crappy contracts by trades and cuts and build up 2027 draft capital. Take the cap hits as much as possible in 2026 Step 5 Fire the entire training and nutritional staff (AGAIN), I'd go so far as to purge the doctors on staff as well. Step 6 Give Allen a year off to get his head straight, seriously, place him on IR in 2026 for mental reasons and throw the season with a roster full of JAGS to reset the cap. Give Mitch a season to showcase how much he sucks. They likely ain't doing crap in 2026 anyhow with the roster issues we have. Take the lumps and rebuild with youth in the 2027 draft and key UFA and trade acquisitions. Step 7 Rebuild with legit talent and speed and let Josh be Josh and stop f'n neutering him. Rebuild the defense with the size, grit, toughness, nastiness and speed required to compete in todays NFL. No more tweeners, undersized, injury prone slugs. We don't need a team full of McClappy choirboys. Extreme measures are necessary or Josh will likely never sniff a Super Bowl in Buffalo, much less win one. His clock is ticking.

Exactly why Beane and McDermott need to go. This organization desperately needs a shake up

Our defense was not good period . Texans in the first half could have had 40 pts if Davis Mills could hit the broad side of a barn . They played conservative in 2nd half knowing long as they didn't turn it over and gave the Bills a long field their defense would hold. Tre White, Poyer, Milano, Taron Johnson are all worn out. Bernard is just bad and the D line are jags All 12 of them. They couldnt contain all world Davis Mills. The OL should be embarrassed and Dawkins laughing with the Texans pass rushers after the game makes me sick. McDermott is prepping us to throw the coordinators under the bus post season. He's not going to fess up that maybe they need a different direction for roster construction. Allen's going to need a few hundred hours of counseling to get up the juice to do this all over again next year and expect a different turn out. He needs to march his ass in to Beane/McDermotts office and demand some changes while his body is still near its peak. I'm going to just try and enjoy Sundays and hope for entertaining games and for the QB to avoid an injury Were not going anywhere with this roster

Bump… decided to go to a college game instead so now selling Bengals. jets game still available.

Byron Leftwich as passing game coordinator? He was a hot commodity for a bit. Fresh set of eyes cant hurt.

Oh I absolutely think mental fatigue plays a role here. A good chunk of this team has made the playoffs multiple years in a row and almost every year outside of 2020 and 2022 they've lose games they could have and arguably should have won. There has to be a certain element of feeling like "man just get me back there so I can do it right this time!!!" I know for me I've really approached this season with a "wake me up in January" approach. I watch all the games and have fun watching them (yes, I'm one of the fans still having fun... and it might be because of this approach), but I don't really care all that much about these games because it's just the regular season. I know others will disagree, but I still really don't have a doubt that the Bills get into the playoffs. And once they're in, all of these regular season games are meaningless. Yes, I realize they matter for where the games are played, but Allen is a gamer and I still very much believe that this team's extensive experience in the playoffs is really going to help them. Now... the problem is that my approach to the season is just fine because I'm just a fan. Bills players need to find ways to not fall into that same mentality. However, they're human beings. And truthfully, they're the ones who were actually up close and personal to those losses in the playoffs over the years. So I could absolutely see them just looking ahead. I think we should prepare ourselves for this roller coaster to continue. I think we'll lose 1 or 2 of our remaining games and end up in the playoffs as a wildcard team on the road. And I'm fine with that. Maybe sending this team on the road in the playoffs will actually weirdly take a little pressure off their shoulders.

Just get to the playoffs healthy. That’s where I’m at with it. 2020 the Tampa Bay Bucs didn’t win the division and had to win 3 road games to get to the SB. I truly believe there isn’t anybody in the AFC the Bills can’t beat when they are playing at their best.

Ty Johnson I guess. This is an incredibly specific and little to choose from question

BUMP I think this is a very important point and I concur. the Atlanta defense smacked us in the mouth but the Bills still could have won. a game I want to scrub from my mind ASAP. its just depressing on many levels

I worry about both of them, plus Cook - three high-usage players who are somewhat on the smaller side. The way they use Shakir he is going to get destroyed, it is just a matter of time. Cook is great at avoiding big hits but at some point the wear and tear is going to take a toll. Benford looks like his body is already starting to break down. Bernard is another one, a smaller inside LB with injury issues is already on a downward trajectory.

I'm not doing either of those. How much time do you spend spamming the board? Cope and seethe, moron.

Yes. Spreadsheets and numbers.

I'm still happy with Benford's contract. He was rough to start the year but he has rounded into form. If he keeps getting knocked out by injuries then I'll begin to question it more but considering the AAV we got him at it's hard to complain. Shakir I am worried about because his play style earns him a lot of big hits and the injuries have been piling up this year. I supported re-signing him but I'm starting to wonder if he'll be healthy enough through the duration of his contract to be worth it. Ultimately though we spend so little on the WR room he was practically a must sign.

You’re right to some extent but weekly I see plenty of guys in the league make TFL’s on the opposite side of them. Groot was excellent last year, I’ve acknowledged that on this board and even praised him. This year however is different. He doesn’t see a vast number of double teams and is paid to make plays. Groot is as underwhelming as the rest of them on the line. If was as great as he’s made out to be, that would show up. Sadly for the Bills and Gregory, it doesn’t.

Exceeded Spencer Brown as I worried he was going to regress back to his injured version and wonder if his 3rd year turnaround was a fluke. Granted he did get hurt last night but who didn't?

Maybe the NFL will move the Cleveland game to Detroit again. That one really boggled my brain lol.

To think a couple weeks ago there was a thread where about half this board actually preferred this team play 3 road playoff games instead of getting the bye and 2 home games just to avoid 2 teams we already beat in KC and Ravens. This is not a team we need to rely on to beat 4 teams to win a SB and have to do 3 of them on the road for just the shot to win the SB. Honestly think there is no team in the NFL that needs the 1 seed more than the Bills right now - and of course after going 3-4 in its last 7, is pretty much killed any hope to even get the 1 seed this year. Hell, now we are left wondering will they even make the playoffs.

The Texans went ultra conservative in the second half because they had the lead and their defense was dominating Too much is being made of the defensive performance in the second half. They went into a shell to not make mistakes

For sure. But human psychology is what it is. Money doesn't change that.

O Line was horrid and to be honest looked old tired and lazy. Especially Dawkins, the two OT’s were getting beat like a drum. Couple that with wr’s who struggle to get space, and horrendous offensive playbook it’s no wonder we looked like arse.
