Mr. Soft Side.

So we can just keep the fake narrative that doesn't actually exist going? No thanks, I'd rather point out the BS. If you want to argue they spent the money on the wrong people, that's one thing. To argue they "aren't spending money", that's complete and utter BS.

Pretty much. He read that in college too.

? Brady did not have BIG TIME college experience He was a grad assistant for 2 yrs, then to nfl, then to LSU for one year as passing game coordinator, not OC. He had generational talents his one year at lsu. Burrow, Chase, Jefferson

That McD walks away from that game talking about the passing game is ironic. He (and Beane) are the ones that pushed all their chips into defense this off-season and gave the OC nothing aside from Josh Palmer to replace Amari Cooper. And then he, as is normal, subtly blames the OC. He's had issues with every single of the 4 OC's he's hired and still doesn't see he's the problem. If McD is right about the passing game, then the OC and the QB are at fault and he isn't. That is, his hand-picked OC and a top-2 QB in the NFL bear responsibility. The man has never grasped offense, never understood how, with the GM, to scheme an offense, nor the players to fit that scheme...with a franchise QB. McD is the root cause of the dysfunction...and he needs to go now.

I will bet you anything you want that does not happen. one more year with Josh and he quits is what you are saying. All because they lost an out of character game to miami.

Schumer’s Shutdown Did Not Go Well for Him. “The Chuckster doesn’t play hardball as well as some of his predecessors in Senate leadership. Over on the House side of things, Hakeem Jefferies isn’t any sharper. The Democrats rushed into this shutdown driving a clown car with no brakes.” https://pjmedia.com/stephen-kruiser/2025/11/10/the-morning-briefing-schumers-shutdown-did-not-go-well-for-him-n4945810#google_vignette .

The nation's largest trucking company says it will no longer service New York City after Mamdani takes office: "We've instructed our dispatchers to reject loads to any of the Five Burroughs," said Company Spokesman Joe Barron, "We don't see a way to continue doing business in the Big Apple.." The news comes as Mamdani released his plan to increase revenue across the city by quadrupling the cost of tolls, licensing, permits, and inspections of all commercial vehicles. "He's going to put a lot of the independent truckers out of business."

The KGun passed to set up the run. They also used Thurman a ton in the passing game

parcells would've burned the place down

Some of that is Allen's escapability. I see a lot of QB's take sacks that Allen eludes and extends the play. But overall the pass pro is good which is an even stronger indictment of the receivers not getting separation or responding properly on plays where Allen is scrambling. That the Bills miss the contributions of Davis & Hollins is we need to know about the current problems.

You can feel free to not respond and ignore.

Somewhat related but probably not thread worthy... I hate when the Bills do tush push on 3rd and 1 (like the Allen fumble play). Vs anyone but the Chiefs it's pretty much automatic and you should be going for it on 4th down from almost anywhere on the field. On third go play action or try to catch the defense off guard and hit something deep. And if you don't get it then you have a cheat code to easily pick it up on 4th down.

I’ll take any reason for hope, so I’ll choose to believe they bounce back against Tampa … but we’re getting real close to a breaking point with injuries and New England is about one more game from potentially putting the Division out of reach, nevermind the 1 seed which we apparently will just never get.

That’s exactly what he says he wanted to do, and why he’s frustrated with Joe Brady: "Um, but it can't just be one one phase of your offense. It's got to be two working, you know, in concert with one another. So, you guys know I say this quite a bit. It starts up front with the with the line of scrimmage, controlling the line of scrimmage early, and it that sets up other things. So, that's that's what I look at first is are we controlling the line of scrimmage, and then how does that set up our passing game? So, no, they go hand in hand."

The front office really needs a smack in the back of the head. So many absolutely wasted picks on defense over the years and only a single attempt to bring in a playmaker on the outside. And that attempt has been a massive bust save for about 1 game and a couple plays here and there. Why rely on trading for a guy? Why not have your scouts do their job and have the GM address the glaring hole on this team? I see teams across the NFL that have not 1 but 2 (!) high level receivers on their rosters and all we can muster is a couple slot guys and a deep threat that's never won a foot race in his life? At this point it really is a joke.

I am happy to have a good running game. Our pass-first teams eventually got shut down and we couldn't get a first down to finish a game. It's not the run game that's the problem, it's the complete lack of talent at receiver and an OC that can scheme against man coverage. We do not have one receiver that can beat man coverage, not one. Beane like's them big and slow. Load the box and dare one of our receivers to win a one-on-one, they cannot. Josh had 3.5 seconds plus to throw on Sunday, the longest of his career, and couldn't find anyone open time after time. So I do fault McD, but this is mostly on Beane. I think both need to move on.

To be fair to the kid, his technique for the Waddle touchdown came from the 'How to play CB for Dummies' book Elam left in his locker

Watching Josh repeatedly standing in the pocket looking downfield, progressing through reads with nowhere to go with ball is frustrating. Look at his demeanor when he comes off the field. This isn’t a guy who’s loving the game right now. Everything’s a struggle.

You think Allen will play 2 more seasons then retire, leaving potentially $200m+ on the table in future potential earnings? You’re out to lunch dude. I agree he won’t live in Buffalo when he retires, I don’t think anybody expects that (and quite frankly, who cares).

The really didn’t get smoked in pass pro. Josh had the most time to throw as he’s had since 2018

I agree. What we're seeing is by design. The problem is that those tasked with selecting the offensive talent and designing the structure to execute this style of offense have so far failed at their job. It's obvious to those of us who follow the Bills closely that something is off with the passing game. I don't need Joe Marino, alt 22 or advanced analytics to see it. Even going back to the late 60's/early 70's when almost every offense pounded the ball first and emphasized the run game they had at least one big play WR. Think Warren Wells, Otis Taylor, Fred Biletnikoff and Don Maynard to name just 4 from Super Bowl winning teams. This has been pretty much a constant for most SB teams. The Chiefs sort of bucked the trend one season but they still had a 1st ballot, elite pass catching TE on the field.

Calvin Ridley missed an entire season and lost $11.1 MIL in salary for some small time on-line wagers. All this while the NFL itself is in bed with and promoting FanDuel and similar enterprises. Sorry, this just has a nasty stink to it.
