So so sorry

Unfortunately I think that was the plan. He was getting 1st team reps from the start of camp and even before Hairston's injury he had reportedly locked down the starting job. I think they made a bad decision bringing him back and felt that way at the time. You need to be aware of your own bad habits so that you know to avoid them. They were always going to go with the culture fit veteran who knows the defense once they gave themselves that option. He had a solid training camp against what it turns out is a well below average group of outside WRs, and they used that to convince themselves he could still play. It turns out the tape from last year didn't lie - he simply is not physically capable of playing the position anymore. He'd be a nice emergency depth option since he knows the defense but it was a big mistake to enter the season with him as the starter. And now week over week it is getting worse because offenses are identifying him as an easy target.

I’m so so sorry for your loss. Losing pets is awful.

I think the hope was that Tre returning to the Defense he was familiar with would make him at least serviceable. The issue is, not only is he not remotely the same guy anymore, but the stellar Safety play behind him he was used to isn't there to bail him out. I don't think the plan was ever to start him and have him play 100% of the snaps as he is now. There was an outside chance Hairston would start out of the gate. But more likely he'd be splitting reps with Hairston initially, with Hairston gradually getting more as he got his sea legs under him - ultimately starting and taking over by this point or mid season. Hairston getting injured really messed those plans up. But we had an insurance policy in Dorian Strong, like we did when we took Elam and Benford. And he showed some promise. Last night, I'm positive he'd be being cycled in for White with how bad he was playing. As he had been throughout the season. But now Strong's on IR too. And we're just stuck with White. Relying on him 100% with no one cycling in for him, unless we want to go with Ingram. This is absolutely nowhere to be. The good news is i'd expect to have Hairston back after the bye or soon thereafter. The bad news is, that plan to bring him along slowly and not throw too much at him too soon will probably still happen. So I wouldn't expect them to just throw him into the fire.

While I agree that a downfield passing attack would be nice, unfortunately, we do not, currently, have the personnel for it.

So it’s McDs fault Allen threw the INT? It’s McDs fault Allen and Knox fumbled a snap? I guess McD made Keon fumble too? We either lost points or gave up points on all 3 turnovers in a game we lost by 3. We literally win by 2-3 scores if we just don’t commit 2 of them. You have 2 choices - you can blame the person whose fault it’s not just because it fits an agenda or we can stay grounded in reality about the real reason we lost, which was 3 individual mistakes. And hate to break it to you, when you lose the turnover battle 3-1 you most often lose. This isn’t about defending McD, this is about the reality of why we actually lost as opposed to just firing the person who actually had nothing to do with it. Blaming McD for this loss is like blaming your golf clubs for why you shot 110. Does it mean McD gets a free pass - no - but it’s pretty silly to put all the blame on him where the players made 3 very critical individual mistakes.

I don't know if this is just by Brady's offensive design or if the receivers are all just that bad or what, but we need to be able to pass the ball downfield. Dink and dunk is fine. It also has to be part of our arsenal. It can't be the entire gameplan though. A downfield pass game opens that stuff up more. We have a QB with the biggest cannon in the NFL and we don't even use it anymore. I know people will say that we just don't have any receivers capable of it. I don't really believe that. I see no names all the time catch downfield balls. If it's true then it's true. If thats the case then I as much as I hate to say it... we need Gabe Davis back on the active roster. I don't trust his hands, but the dude has made downfield plays for us. It needs to be part of our arsenal. We aren't going to dink and dunk our way to a superbowl. It takes too much precision and leaves no room for mistakes. Hell, I think this Pats game was the first time I seen Brady take a shot on 2nd and 1 instead of just running the ball to pick up the first down. I been banging the table about that since last year.

Welcome to the WWE-era of NFL football. Enjoy the stories, athleticism, and entertainment, but do not expect fair, competitive sport (at least not consistently)...you'll be much happier that way.

Yeah- she may have said she is “ready” but that doesn’t mean that she will…

Yeah I watched Bradys presser as well. Doesn't look like him and McD are on the same page.

Not good, but I’m not expecting Hairston to be any better at this juncture.

This will be another “tougher than expected game” for the Bills…Gotta have our “A” game this week.

how is Tre looking ?

Great job Beane… When you acquire a pro bowl caliber player with maturity issues, you can deal with it because his play makes up for it. But when you acquire a slow, mediocre WR, that can’t separate, and has maturity issues, then it could become a nuisance…

They ain't parting with both. I dunno how that'd work unless they wanted someone sent back. And nobody say "Samuel" lol dude has 280yds and 2 tds in a Bills jersey @ $10M. If somebody takes Samuel well be pitching in extra draft capital to absorb bad cash.... and most certainly wont be the saints Where you hearing thst though? Anywhere credible or message board fodder lol id love it and it makes sense just havent seen it anywhere at all

Far too early to say if he will be a great QB or not. He had terrible coaching last year and is getting good coaching this year. He certainly has the physical traits you want. Now, it's about reading defenses better and the mental side of things.

This was a stupid nostalgia signing by Beane.

We should be disagreeing with those Super Bowl odds. Weren't we the favorites last season? Near dead last at stopping the run. And we're the SB favorites? We shall see. At the end of this season, if we get the number 1 AFC seed, and Josh Allen put up great numbers, he will get his 2nd NFL MVP. We have to remember that our defense has injuries and washed up players who don't belong on the field. Also, a head coach who absolutely doesn't know how to coach defense and he's supposed to be a defensive specialist. LOL

I cannot believe that some people are saying he didn't have a great game. What game were you watching? He had zero turnovers to Josh's two. He made several completions when he was dead to rites. Josh had none of note. Sure, he had Diggs to bail him out but Josh had Kincaid almost as often. That's almost a wash. The AFC East challenge flag has now been thrown. I'm not swapping Josh for anyone but the reality is - this guy is legit, he is here to stay and he will become elite in due course. And you can add a tariff to that whenever he comes up against our soft defense. After two decades of TB12, yesterday was a Bills fans worst nightmare.

We basically screwed ourselves for the next several years, at WR, because of drafting Coleman, who will never be a #1, and then signing a backup, in Palmer, to a multi year deal, TO BE OUR STARTER… FAIL

If the Bills and Eagles were to play in the SB next week, 9/10 pundits would choose Philly. Bills have the better QB. But otherwise...not much else. As for MVP RIGHT NOW...I would go with Mayfield. TB has been injured and he is pulling out wins left and right.

Even if he is well, I am not confident that he will be effective… In the little bit of practice he actually did have, Hairston looked lost.

So sorry, bro. It's been six for me in my years and it's the worst. I lost my previous boy at just shy of 14 in Nov 2023. It crushed me. I'm on the autism spectrum and I don't really connect with people easily and I'm always going to need a dog for companionship and to help my mood. I was just crying so much for a month and then half-heartedly looked on the petfinder and saw a goldendoodle who had a rough start in life at a humane society branch nearby and I hemmed and hawed for a day or two but I did an application that fell through at first (he was placed with another couple, and a week later they returned him bc their existing dog was being very territorial. Upon getting Ace back, they contacted me. And I picked him up on the 9-year anniversary of my mum's passing from a difficult cancer. Was thinking and praying to her the whole time hoping the new dog would like me. And... it put a little bit of light back into that very sad day on the calendar). And it's not that I loved my Ruff the less. It's just... there are LOTS of GREAT dogs out there who need good homes and... for everyone in this thread... you have good homes and love to share. Ace has really helped in the healing journey and he is the goodest boy. And the thing is, this will happen again until it's my own time to cross the bridge and meet them all. And my heart will break again. But....

No need to get so defensive…it’s just food for thought, and a topic for conversation… Your ad hominem attacks against the guy really don’t seem warranted when all you have to do is say why you disagree…👍
