Always feels like I watch more of him and his crews atrocious calls than I do the game

We are definitely missing Dalton Kincaid!

Interesting, but can be misleading as how shallow these passes are from Allen.

EPA per dropback is, largely, a Quarterback stat. And look at the guys towards the top: Love, Maye, Mahomes, Allen, Dak, Stafford.... it is a QB stat. That said I do think the pass protection data is interesting. To the pure eye test it has not been as good as it was in 2024... but you also have to acknowledge that Allen has also bailed on more clean pockets in 2025 than for 2 or 3 years... and I think that is because he is hoping getting out and changing the angle disrupts the coverage and helps one of our lamppost receivers to shake free.

I've never seen a game thread with this little responses.

Regardless of who the players are in this mix, Beane should have guessed Slay wanted to go back “home”. He’s had a few players want to do the same thing. Even had Jordan Phillips say publicly if he played it would only be for the Bills. Shouldn’t be a surprise to him. Couple this with the PED twins, and it’s a bad look for Beane…it just is. As for the waiver claim. Was Slay worth the pickup this late in the season? Learn a new defense and be a more viable option versus what we have? Would he have inserted himself into a decent amount of playing time? Not sure he had enough time left in the season to do so. We may never know.

Yea that's a bad look for Beane. Was Ingram a critical piece? No. But did he provide some useful depth? Yep. Should you throw that away for a 34 year old? No.

The problem there is that when you claim a player on Waivers - you take on the responsibility of the contract signed by the team that waived them. So if we just waived him ourselves and he went unclaimed - that contract stays on our books. So we'd be taking on his contract for the year and have lost Ingram for nothing. And it's likely he would go unclaimed. As just us and the Eagles claimed him. Now teams know he won't play for anyone but the Eagles - including the Eagles. So why would they put in another claim and take the responsibility of the contract off our hands when they don't have to? The move is simple. He plays for us or we put him on the "Did Not Report" list. With that, not only are we off the hook for his contract - we could even look to recoup some of his signing bonus if we wanted to. I don't see how putting him on the "Did Not Report" list would hurt our reputation or why we should hurt ourselves further than we already have to help out someone who screwed us over.

Belichick was a big different. Not only because the results had been so poor but because he was the de-facto GM too and on that side of the fence deserved his firing. Honestly I wouldn't have fired Reid either. The whole "it's gone stale, fire the coach" logic isn't really for me.

I'm guessing the Bills will just release him and sign another CB which I agree with. Reputation is far more important than CB#4 depth.

Can you help me understand the “Brilliant” part as it relates to “4 days ago”? Your link title, if you looked at it, has a date of 2022/02/14. That matches the date of the article. Crazy, right? Where does “4 days ago” come in? Is this another “Karen Bass has only been in office a few weeks” routine? Brilliant. You seem to struggle with either the calendar or math itself. Then again, you seemed pretty emotional with your posting yesterday. It happens, but maybe slow down a touch.

Both of you make fair points. The Beane and McD era has reached its peak and appears to be regressing. I don't really see much upside to having them continue here in Buffalo. They had a nice run but I think new blood is more than welcomed. We can appreciate their success and acknowledge that football has been a lot more enjoyable the last decade or so. Nevertheless, I believe their messages, style, decisions, drafts, coaching schemes ,etc... aren't in a direction of a super bowl win. That's the bottom line and goal here. The team is flawed and lots of that falls on Beane,McD, and the coaching staff. Doesn't mean they suck because both would get scooped up in a heartbeat. It's time to move on and give the team some new hope, energy, philosophy, schematic changes, etc... Change is needed; don't fear it rather welcome it. Go Bills. A model franchise that can't even sniff a super bowl. I think the perception is the Bills can't get it done in the playoffs. Nick Wright mocks the Bills for winning their super bowl when the Bills beat the Chiefs in the regular season. I think you are really overstating the perception angle here.

We need to sign a defensive end, honestly.

Super Bowl is February 8th. Best case scenario for us is 2 months and 3 days. Heaven forbid it could be even less than that.

Yeah that's lip service. You don't need to "pack up your family" for 4-6 weeks lol

I expect the Bengals to do what Miami did. Load up the box with 8 or 9 and dare us to beat them with the pass. They'll also cheat guys in to stop the passes behind the LOS. It's gonna take some good strategery to beat this but it's doable. Hopefully some good scramble drill plays and quick hitting passes to guys schemed open somehow. More passes to Cooks. I like the idea of keeping Turf Toe Joe off the field, but if we go this route we have to score TDs. Can't have drives stalling out or settling for too many FGs. If Coach McDermott and his defense can slow down Burrow, Higgins and Chase they deserve something really great. Should be an interesting/tough game. Hoping for a Bills win.

Forgive me. I don't know if anyone else in this forum is like me at this point and comes here as much (maybe more) for Bills news than discussion... but the fact that the other thread hasn't changed the title to acknowledge Slay ain't coming and we will now have an open roster spot that will not be filled by a player we've had on the team developing for years now because he was claimed by a Conference rival playoff contender is a little frustrating. if I'm alone, sue me.

The map’s record against shitlibs is eerily similar to Tom Brady’s career record against the Bills.

Why has Ingram been on the roster then? I reject this premise.

That’s pure blather. Why would you ever “pack up your family” to go live in Buffalo at this point? There’s a couple of months left in the season. Go find a nice hotel or live with one of the guys. Maybe try to win a Super Bowl. That reason was fake. Not sure what’s up, but he didn’t want to come play.

They were in the AFCCG two years ago, which is just as far as we have gotten.

@LeviF

I'm just going by what I read on TBD. And let's not also lose sight of the fact that he couldn't even get on the field for that horrible defense that was Pittsburgh last Sunday.

Arrived at with 3 composite scores (PFF/ESPN/SIS); best is top right corner, worst bottom left corner. https://x.com/fball_insights/status/1996378570596536685/photo/1
