No one fears Buffalos offense. No one respects Buffalos defense. We are running the same ***** on offense we ran last year- minus the RB receptions, plus turnovers, plus sacks, etc. You have evolve in the NFL. KC is constantly evolving. We are stagnant. Roster is not good enough. That’s on Beane. He better improve roster quick. Players are undisciplined, too many penalties, pitiful tackling, lousy coverage, can’t stop run, lazy routes, not winning your 1/11th. Bad body language

Wide Receiver Train Full Speed Ahead- CHOO CHOO!
thenorthremembers replied to Pete's topic in The Stadium Wall
Bottom line is the Bills had a #1 wideout signed through 2026. Had he not forced his way out he'd likely still be here. -
Sneaky is not who the Bills are. That would require risk. McD can’t spell risk. It’s not in his nature.

Plausible X/#1 receiver trade candidates — are there any?
Nihilarian replied to dave mcbride's topic in The Stadium Wall
It was Brady! But was it also Josh going full bore in the passing game and just letting loose? Finding the open receiver and hitting them, and this was when the Ravens defense was at full strength. They have four #1 picks in their starting secondary. I agree with some here that the entire Buffalo team has looked like an undisciplined mess at times. Offensive and defensive penalties, and against that Falcons pass rush, it's like the Bills didn't game plan whatsoever. It reminded me of Daboll calling nothing but pass plays when they weren't working and Josh was under heavy duress. I feel the Bills have enough talent on offense to get the job done if the plays are properly schemed. WR Gabe Davis is waiting in the wings. BTW, while James Cook has a success catch percentage rate of only 35.7%. He has a catch percentage of targets by 85.7% which is better than any of the Buffalo WRs. No idea why he isn't being used in the passing game more. In my view, this is all mostly on Joe Brady. The defense, however, could have everybody back healthy with the suspended players in the lineup, and that Buffalo secondary will still have major issues. Missed tackles, missed assignments. Rapp, Benford, and White stink this year, with all the injuries to the rookies / secondary, it gives me pause to think this current defense might never be good enough this season. -
Can you even imagine the meltdown if Obama...
Andy1 replied to Homelander's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
If Obama did this, Fox and Republicans would go bonkers for 24/365. With Trumpy, it’s “who cares?”. Of course the government is bankrupt but this is necessary and wise use of public funds. -
Completely mediocre, soft roster trying to get a championship with the least possible amount of effort/risk. It’s not going to work. You can only play so many perfect, risk free football games.

Huh? He had a rough LCL injury. We were lucky it wasn't a tear or an ACL. But that's still going to take a few months to be 100%. He absolutely hasn't been practicing with the team. He legally isn't allowed to take part in sessions on IR. You saw him working with trainers and rehabbing. There was no benching "or pulling him". He simply was injured. And they weren't going to put him back on the Practice field until they were completely sure he was 100% As for why they aren't just going to throw him on the field, he's a Rookie who's never played a down in the NFL, missed over half of Training Camp, and all of the Pre-Season. He needs at least a couple weeks of practice working with the Defense before they just throw him on the field.

They are "sneaky" good, just like the Pats and Falcons and every other team that plays us. Why can't we be sneaky too?

That's easy "Everybody eats !!" Any other questions?

Wide Receiver Train Full Speed Ahead- CHOO CHOO!
Returntoglory replied to Pete's topic in The Stadium Wall
This was a specific situation that involved multiple parties and results, or, lack thereof. But hey. It's your ball, right? -
Coversative on both sides of the ball, play not to lose and it's been that way since Dabol left and McDermott made sure his offensive cordinator ran the ball and threw short passes McDermott has his cordinator is using Allen like we have Trent Edwards at QB, in years past we would have big chunk plays and scored points which forced other teams into playing catch up and one dimensional Close games do not work well with our defence You mean playing not to lose or conversative on both sides of the ball

I think it’s fantastic that you put stock into what Steve Bannon has to say and I suggest you not just believe it, but actively fear it. All hail KING TRUMP ‘28!! Let’s check back in when November ‘26 and ‘28 roll around, shall we? One of us is sure to look like a total dumbass. -
Wide Receiver Train Full Speed Ahead- CHOO CHOO!
Alphadawg7 replied to Pete's topic in The Stadium Wall
First of all, like the response - don't agree with all of it, which is ok, but appreciate the thought out and detailed reply. You left out 2 key parts in 2022, that we resigned McKenzie and we signed Crowder, both to compete in the slot along with rookie Shakir. And people around here argued with me non stop that McKenzie was going to break out that year when I said he had no business starting, including some very prominent posters. Crowder, who had been a proven productive slot guy, was the likely starter while they groomed the rookie Shakir and had McKenzie in his normal gadget role - but Crowder got hurt. That is what led to them bringing back Cole, and that also had a lot to do with how stupid Dorsey was who decided to bring the ghost of Cole in instead of getting Shakir more snaps. I totally agree, there are more rounds. But what you miss here is that the Bills used TWO picks on Kincaid already, a first and a 4th. THAT was the pass catcher investment in that draft. Then they still used another pick in the 5th on a flyer in Shorter. And while Davis had question marks, it was also revealed he had played on a bad ankle the whole previous season and there was belief still amongst the team that the ankle held him back in 2022. And while there were a lot of "us" around here (myself included) that felt Davis was not likely to be back, that doesn't mean the coaches and FO had already made that decision either. But again, the investment WAS made in a "post Gabe" pass catcher, it just came in the form of a TE given their attempts to move up for a WR were rebuffed and then 4 in a row came off the board ahead of their pick. Kincaid may be a "TE", but he was drafted to be an offensive weapon for Allen, and a weapon that could be the real WR2 in terms of the 2nd target on the team behind Diggs if Gabe wasn't brought back. And once they invested 2 picks in one draft to get Kincaid, there were other needs at that point to address outside just "pass catchers" with now Diggs, Davis still here, Shakir (who despite being unknown, they loved and thought highly of) and a 2 headed TE combo of Knox (who they just paid a big extension to) and Kincaid. They also drafted Cook to also be a receiving weapon out of the backfield in 2022. And if you look at this draft, 5 picks were used on the offense 1+4 on Kincaid, 2nd on O'Cyrus and 2 day 3 picks that included a WR and OL. So while I totally agree you can find WR's outside the early rounds (although dont tell the rest of TSW that or they lose their minds as they think the only way to get one is mortgage the entire future and make impossible move ups to get one), the context and facts of this draft is the Bills used 2 early picks on one pass catcher already while they still had a 28 year old top 5 WR in Diggs on a 4 year extension, Davis still one more year who they felt was going to have a bounce back year, a young Shakir, and now a first round TE whose only job was to be a receiving weapon (that also cost them a 4th too). End of the day, this was never about guys getting old. This was about a 29 year old top 5 WR with 3 years left on his deal becoming malcontent, forcing the team to essentially trade him, and us taking back a $31M dead cap hit as a result. And we can say "he should have taken more WR's last year" - but who did we really miss the boat on in the middle rounds in that draft? The only guys really doing anything were not available at any of our next picks. What WR in last years draft that we passed on in rounds 2-7 would be changing our season and franchise right now? This is my entire point - where is this WR room savior in that draft for us to have taken? There wasn't any - literally - none. The only 3 WR's who busted out that play on the outside are Nabers, Odunze, and BTJ. Neither of which were available to us at any point. The 2 best players drafted after we took Keon have been Ladd and Pearsall, but both were gone by our next pick, and neither were a fit for the Bills needs when we took Keon even as we had a roster full of slot players already. I love adding talent, I am not opposed to adding more talent to the WR at all. All I have been saying is that there is a lot of context to what we have or haven't done. But one thing I think you have wrong is about us being thin - I would argue that we are actually the opposite, I would say we are more deep compared to most teams with competent WR's, I mean Samuel and Moore can and have started with success on other teams in worse QB situations too. You can't say that about a lot of teams. Now last year was different, those 2 didn't work out, but this year I am referencing the deep guys are competent WRs even though we don't use them (which is frustrating on its own). Where we are actually weak is at the top end of our WR room. And that is my whole point, there have not been "top end" options for us to go and get the past 3 years. 2023 we tried, but got rebuffed and took the best pass catcher available using a 1st and 4th to get Kincaid. In 2024 none of the guys who are top end outside WR1s were available when we picked and none have been produced in the picks after either. In 2025, we already both agree on why Beane felt the D was a bigger issue. -

The problem with Taron being underperforming is the defense basically needs him to be elite. He is the cog to the entire D. -

Can we put the punter whoever that is on the media guide like back then? Now THATS complimentary football! -
Their season is done. No point adding anyone to try and win games. They should ride it out and secure as high a draft pick as they can for the chance to turn their franchise around.
-
Beane and McDermott have to be better at identifying when their players are losing a step, you could see it last season and should have been dealt this past offseason for a pick or player, I find it hard to believe that all 32 teams wouldn't have wanted Taron's services. Like many of you have stated he's been a great player for us for awhile now and it sucks but it's part of the profession and also part of Beane/McDermotts job.
