Mahomes benefitted being drafted by a 12-4 team, sit behind Alex Smith as he lead them to another AFC West title at 9-6 under Smith and 1-O under Patrick. He likely doesn't get those chances here. Mahomes a great player no doubt but also ended up in a great situation in KC. I doubt he does the same in Chicago (see they don't draft Mitch) or here.

Agreed. At the top of their respective games, Chan Gailey was a much better football coach.

There's a thread here for everyone, or you can start your own. Not required to post in the ones you dont like. Good luck!

Be it the scheme, lack of quality WRs or Allen or a combo. Probably a combo. Allen is not looking like his typical self. I'd imagine there are statistically a handful of QBs playing better right now and that's ok to say. In this ends up being a down year, so be it. All the greats have them.

Agreed, I have been watching a bit of Chicago this year. I am constantly going ugh/whoops. The odds weren't really in our favor, tough task for an undersized LB corp hold up year after year. Also I think the league is becoming a bit more smashmouth compared to 5 years. That certainly isn't helping.

I don’t disagree. You have no choice but to keep borrowing from the future while you have Josh in his prime. If you’re going to win it will be in this window. As an aside, I think Edmunds is having a big year. I saw him on someone’s DPOY ballot the other day.

As a related point, I wish Prater could learn to kick a squib that hits in the landing zone like the Miami kicker was doing to us all game. It's the only way to pin a team inside the 30 on kickoffs.

I have no idea what you're talking about The LOS is the 31. When Allen turns down the read to Coleman he's standing at the 33

"once fine agency" Now there's a telling comment. It's always been a federal disaster area ever since Clinton undid Reagan's blow-up of it.

The turnovers are troubling - but unlike past years where we have had more of them, it doesn't feel like sloppy play this year. It feels like players on offense trying to do too much because we're so anemic at times. Josh's INT's and fumbles in particular just seem like he's forcing things when not much is there. It's a bit of heroball, but I don't think he has much choice at times.

Well the Bills are undefeated in games Jackson does not play. We need to run the table to get the division so here is to hoping Jackson does not dress again this year.

You know he signed to the Practice Squad, right?

Let's not act like Gruden is Chan Gailey now! I mentioned him as someone I at least know who is available, who has had success. I asked the question about who else is out there? Not someone we would have to trade valuable assets for, although I would for Reid, McVay. Mcdermott is the equivalent of Tom Thibodeu of the Knicks. He came in, changed the culture of the club, made the Knicks competitive and semi contenders but could never take any of his squads to the big dance. He had a prime Dwrrick Rose with the Bulls and squandered his career. I just dont want to see this with Josh and its becoming more and more obvious to most that this is what's happening here.

I was glad to see that at least in Erie County, they asked for ID before handing you the ballot. First time in years.

Some people just want to watch the world burn Master Bruce.

But also our void years for 2026 are nearly 2x Tremaine Edmunds 2026 cap hit. I'm not necessarily saying Edmunds fixes anything/everything. But we do seem to be struggling with both starting LB positions. 2x Edmunds would be super helpful right now. So when you borrow from the future and then get it wrong it really compounds the issue.

ya, i just made a post in another thread about how we are favored by 5.5 vs the bucs and that's actually fair, we are just a wildly inconsistent team. im sort of reading into the narrative of how the d lets us down every season in the playoffs and we are in our post season form when it comes to injuries already. sanders shaq aj benford and (hope hope) ed back for the playoffs is a much much better d than what we have out there.

Eh he was a horrible HC with the Rams and not much better as an interim HC with the Giants.

Yeah, $15 million is a small bribe to pay to get the FCC to approve the hugely profitable sale of your company.

He was my guy too. I think he just got $12.5M per. He has the right demeanor to lead men. He has that presence but enough swagger/arrogance to win. He’s also won at every level. Wherever that guy goes, he wins.

Tom Brady will in in Santa Clara, just down the 101 from where he grew up, to usher in the new dynasty. Robert Kraft will be seen exiting one of the Thai Massage Parlors of San Jose before putting his greasy hands all over the Lombardi.

the odds makers have us as 5.5 favs, and they are generally much much more right than wrong. if you look at our EPA per game in each phase, our special teams always suck a little bit (to medium) our D and our O have massive variance. like 10+ swings on each side of the ball from week to week. as bad as the o was vs the fish (worst since atlanta) the d was much worse in terms of epa. now, a lot of that is late in the game it was over and they were selling out to stop a run dead and it got past them and scored (twice). the reality is even with all of our injuries, we are a better team that tampa, which is baffling for me to type because we look so ass and they have looked better so much of the time, but that's what it is. i really think it comes down to coaching and injury luck for us this season. if we can get a couple guys back and playing a bit, and brady can figure it out some, we should be able to still challenge for the division. i honestly don't feel that way and mentally kinda gave up on the division, but the numbers are the numbers.

CBS did a “bad edit” of a Kamala interview a little over a year ago. The esteemed barrister @The Frankish Reich deemed it a nothing burger. Turned out to be a $15M nothing burger but I’m sure he’s still right with his analysis of the matter.

Fixed it for you.

I am content with the status quo up to the point where we are eliminated from post season. I still maintain that there is more right than wrong with the Bills. Improving on Beane will mean raiding the likes of SF, the Rams, Eagles, Chiefs, and Seahawks. It seems like many of the other teams are always dealing where we are so tight against the cap we can't do anything. If we whiff on a few draft picks its like starting over every season. Our contract resources on defense are not well allocated as a result. Our talent evaluation is mediocre at best. Our total lack of defensive playmakers is glaring. If Coleman is a wasted pick I will be ready to close the door on Beane. I have been a McDermott backer since the beginning but the clock is ticking close to midnight on this regime. Close isn't good enough any more. I suspect Terry will take a big swing if he cleans house. Something along the lines of Nick Saban, Mike McCarthy, Flores, Spagnuolo, Sarkisian, or Kiffin. BB is effectively black balled from the league if for no other reason than to deny him a shot at Shula's record. I can't tell which is the real Bills - the one that lost to Miami and Atlanta or the one that beat Baltimore and KC. Let's let the season play out before burning the house down.
