I think they’ll make the playoffs still but the more important question is can they win in the playoffs? I don’t think can go on the road and beat Denver, Baltimore, Indy, Houston or even Jacksonville.

It is now LOL

many of the Roster moves are obvious. Cut knox Samual Rapp DQ Jones Bass less obvious cuts could be Bernard J Palmer or McGovern Maybe some of them could bring a late round pick? We need to load up on draft picks. That’s many millions in savings. I’m certain you could resign Knox for 3-4 mil a year (maybe it’s better to restructure ? Vs cut and resign?) Let guys like Millano and T Johnson walk, hopefully we get comp picks in 2027 We could trade Spencer brown and save 15 or Oliver and save 12. Dawkins also saves 12 million and he’ll be 32 next season. Those are big savings. I’d consider trading one of those three guys. Ideally we could trade one to Jax for BTJ. But a 2nd round pick for one of those 3 makes sense. with the Cap savings I’d go for a stud WR like George Pickens, and get bigger/faster everywhere. FAs like Hollins make sense. speaking of Hollins - Coleman for Hollins straight up!? Unfortunately the time to hire a coach was a few years back, when Sean Peyton, Jim Harbaugh, and Ben Johnson were all available. For that reason I’d consider giving McD a shot, but I get to pick the coordinator’s. Both my coordinators would be. PROVEN STUDS, preferably former HCs, preferably with Super Bowl experience. OC might be Penderson, Or McDaniels or Stefanski if fired. Daboll is in the mix too. DC might be Jim Schwartz or Vic Fangio or Brian Flores. Maybe one of those entrenched DCs wants another shot as HC? I may give them a shot there too.

I haven't re-watched the debacle but Coleman did appear to be in Adam Henry's ear on the sideline after one of many failed attempts to feed Shakir. Henry appeared less than pleased with his input. Shakir ended up piling up some yards but he's been a net negative the last couple weeks.

Like maybe after 8 years hitting his back foot on 3 and 5 step drops, and getting the ball out on time and on target vs. Holding it.

Yes. I made it up. A simple google would have answered your question, but carry on.

I'm beginning to think that the kind thing to do with Josh is trade him to another team, one with a strong roster other than at QB, so he can finally get the ring. If it doesn't happen this year or next, it won't happen here. We'll always have the memories. And the pain. But there's no point in keeping this unicorn of a player on a collapsing team, where the only outcome is going to be an injury because none of our receivers can get open and our O line can't handle D line stunts.

I have never been a big Dion Dawkins fan. At best he was a little above good. But never close to great. And now is a fat mediocre player at best. I would cut his ass after the season if the salary cap ramifications are not too punitive. He is the perfect example of just enjoying being along for the joy ride. Some people say he is a “fan favorite”. Why? Because he is big fat and happy. And doesn’t walk around like a mean SOB. We need some mean SOB’s. This is football not the Big Brother program. The core group has been around too long. Other than Josh Cook Bishop and Hairston, no other player should feel secure w their job. (Heck I would put Sam Franklin on the list too. He plays light out on Special Teams) And neither should the coaches or Beane.

I don't see any of that as dysfunction personally - except probably for Beane's radio appearance. That, in isolation, I agree was a clown show. Benching Keon and criticising Elam isn't. It is just managing under performance. I think for the most part this regime has been professional, competent and buttoned up. It just hasn't been good enough in the big moments.

He blamed the offense after 13 seconds. If people didn't know then that he was the wrong coach then idk what they want. He wants a slow plodding offense that keeps his rotation heavy defense off the field.

I have said in another thread that if the Patriots are AFC champions this year then both McDermott and Beane should be fired on the spot immediately. The Patriots would have gone from the AFCE wooden spoon to AFC champions in one year and still have so many millions to upgrade their team in the off-season. If this scenario actually unfolds the word "devastating" would barely do it justice. Kraft saw the folly of his mistake and got rid of Mayo immediately, as soon as he realistically could have. For a winning team we are dangerously close to being a laughingstock. We are whooping it up saying please keep Mike McDaniel in Miami, Woody Johnson is a terrible owner etc but all we have to crow about recently are the accumulated AFC East titles. Having a legitimate in-division foe hasn't yet hit home to the Bills brass it seems. We were so worried about Hard Knocks and what distractions that might cause, yet Beane makes himself look like a buffoon with Jeremy and Joe and then is ruefully mumbling and bumbling when striking out at the trade deadline. Just keep quiet man, you and your head coach are doing the absolute bare minimum to retain your positions, you should be ecstatic that you have drafted and retained Josh Allen and James Cook and that your seats appear to be barely warm at all with all of your warts from all over the roster being displayed so easily. The Patriots, Colts, Broncos, Chiefs etc must be over the moon that we will just run it back in 2026 and have the same delusional expectations that something will miraculously click with McDermott in year 10. Yet still for all, I illogically think the Bills have a minuscule chance this year to win it all. If everyone truly believes they are toast they’d stop watching and bothering but I love the Buffalo Bills so still have to keep paying attention!

🙃

That could be but he's been simply awful overall. Like I said, the way he is playing and Strong was trending Strong might have been playing instead by now. He's not played like a starting NFL CB this year let alone a good one. In some ways it was like the Tre extension because neither had a lot of room for physical decline before it was going to knock them far down the list.

I mean he just did a massive philosophy shift away after daboll.... Why?

Allen hired Ken Dorsey and Joe Brady. Allen gave a big contract extension to his buddy Dawson Knox. Allen drafted Keon Coleman. Allen coached up our division rival's QB. Can we get rid of this guy already? It's not too late for Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane to clean up the mess he's left us.

Woah, mesh on the most important passing down of the game! Fortunately, NFL defenses don't spend their free time watching past games or looking into play calling tendencies! For real though, Joe Brady's entire passing philosophy boils down to "unga bunga ball catcher run into bad man." That 2019 LSU offense was so talented that they averaged 48 points a game with this dude as the passing game coordinator.

Remember when we were wondering when we would lose our first game?

Cleveland offense is nothing compared to Houston. Houston has a passable wild card offense - Cleveland is terrible.

Add a 4th and forever hook and ladder to the pile of flukes.

McDermott historically does a great job rallying his team off a loss, especially with extra rest so I think we win against Pittsburgh. As for the rest of the games I have no predictions other than I don't think we'll lose more than 2 of those remaining games. But they could be to anyone.

I still believe our 3-13 season was one of my favorites. Zero expectations, everything was a bonus. Having Super Bowl expectations these past few years has only resulted in crushing disappointment

if we are judging with a constant standard, benford was a worse signing than groot. he's hurt more, a rookie (max) and a second year guy (bishop) have had more big plays than he has, and most importantly he's being paid like 65-70% of what a top guy at his position gets, while groot is getting under 50%. now, the reality is benford has not been himself and has been hurt, if benford stays healthy it will be a decent to good signing, same w groot. cook was a slam dunk, shakir is a good bill but i think you can get guys like him so he's not that super important to us imo, but im not the qb or coach so i could be wrong. from a production pov shakir is worth it even w his injuries and mistakes so far. bernard just isn't good enough imo. he had that one year where he filled out the stat sheet after edmunds left, which made me think it was a good non signing of edmunds, but i think we signed the wrong 2 of the 3 lbs we drafted. i love hoyt but his suspension and injuries make him zero, obiewan has been decent but the suspension hurts. bosa has been an outstanding signing for us, even tho he's hurt now. samuel, knox, milano, taron, palmer (i like him, but he's simply not produced), coderington, rapp, possibly ed due to injures, and before that von white, and diggs (and the safties when they got old)are the reason why we have holes in the roster. the value we've gotten from them (in many cases zero as they left the team or were hurt) would easily be replaced with draft picks, allowing us to sign some actual studs.

The Bills can beat absolutely anyone and can lose to absolutely anyone. For that reason, they can not only make, but win a Super Bowl. Not predicting it, but it won't be some outlandish occurrence if that happens.

Yeah it's not too late. He could go the Matt Stafford route if we can't get him across the finish line here. I remember when Stafford was known as an overrated QB who couldn't get Detroit deep into the playoffs. Naturally he won a Super Bowl as soon as he got with a legit franchise and this year he's an MVP candidate. His legacy was cemented by a change in his circumstances. Of course I hope with Allen that change happens here. I'm not sure Pegula is ruthless enough to do what's necessary.
