BADOLBILZ

He's still a starting caliber, top 50 edge in the NFL. The Bills have been playing DT's TJ Sanders and Daquan Jones edge snaps the past couple games and they have been just awful. It's a bad situation.

With Bosa playing with one arm and Epenesa looking like a f#ckin concussion zombie on the field last Sunday the current, still-effective version of Clowney would be a Godsend.

Be more constructive with your feedback, please. Probably just a language barrier thing.

Yeah the easy way for me to remember that is the year T-Sizzle Suggs got himself released from Arizona in the final few weeks of the 2019 season so he could return to the Ravens for a playoff run. He was infuriated when the Chiefs claimed him. He ended up on a Chiefs SB winning team.

I know people are concerned about the run defense but it tends to get really hard for any team to run the ball in the postseason. Run defense is about effort and execution and the Bills are bad right now simply because of a lack of those two things and that's very controllable. The 2017 Bills defense post-Dareus trade couldn't stop a regular season run to save their lives...........but in the playoff game in Jax their run defense would have sent the run-first Jags to Cancun if they just had a Sammy Watkins or Bob Woods to throw to and put some points on the board. What's REALLY concerning is the extremely poor pass rush the past couple weeks. They are going to have to get creative because they probably can't even win a WC game on the road if they don't rush the passer better than that.

As team building has became more of a science.......it's moves like the Herschel trade that allow ANY coach to be good. Without McNabb Andy Reid never takes off as a HC in Philly and without Mahomes he gets fired after the 2017 playoff choke against Mularkey. Obviously Belichick without Brady ends very differently. If Johnson had stayed at the U he would have done what Saban did at Alabama. He had elevated that program so far that they won 2 more natty's after he left on the strength of his recruiting. And if he doesn't leave Dallas they win almost certainly 4 straight SB's. So yeah, all he did was quickly re-tool a Dolphins roster that had put all it's chips into old vets for Shula in 1995 and get to the playoffs 3 of his 4 seasons there. But he was absolutely a GREAT HC.

Josh Allen can do no wrong to us. It's not easy for us to be objective because he is the most likable and great player they've ever had. But if Josh did influence the pick.......he should be the main player in Keon's ear. It's hard to reach your potential as a leader if you can't NOT be everyone's best friend.

Yeah on my DirecTV it says Bills/Bucs tonight at 8pm.

I agree with a lot of that but I just can't get with the idea that they "nursed" Coleman along. That's the opposite of what happened, IMO. He was the 8th WR off the board and their attitude was "OK, we gave you that first year to learn.......now go out and beat the early first round Christian Gonzalez and Sauce type CB1's in our division". Somehow that made sense to some Bills fans who have been in denial about how serious the Bills WR problem was.

I felt that way in the moment too. In the stands we were talking about how the Bills were executing a perfect Parcells/Belichick style game plan to beat a more explosive opponent.........and then Brady and Allen come out with a one-read 30 air yard throw to their small catch radius slot receiver on 2nd and 9. After further reviewing the game it became clearer to me that my perception was wrong. They possessed the ball because they converted 9 of 17 times on 3rd and 4th down while the Chiefs were just 1-5 on 3rd down and never faced a 4th down. Allen threw the ball 39 times and had like a dozen rushes that kept bailing out their sh!t passing game. It was anything but systematic. If they drew it up like that it would have ended even worse at least 9 times out of 10. The strategy at the end of that game made 13 seconds look like a stroke of genius by the Bills coaching staff and Josh Allen for signing off on giving Mahomes the ball back down 4 to play 4 down football for 1:50.

Two years ago was a lot of TD's ago. I didn't realize that many were sneaks back then. So probably 25 or so total sneak/push TD's? That would be a third of his total which would be more than I thought.

It's feels in some cases though. Like the Baltimore game last January. Just terrible offense. Baltimore didn't respect them outside and took away the explosives in the middle of field. And the KC AFCCG the week later featured a series early in the game where Allen went 3 and out with 2 terrible passes and a drop by Kincaid. And I don't think the 2023 game was really intended to work out like it did. Like I said, they just couldn't connect down the field at times and then had a bunch of late down conversions to keep the ball. That last drive a bomb went thru Diggs hands. Brady was not just trying to control the clock it just almost worked out where they looked smarter than they were.

The only real "ball control" gameplan by the offense out of those 7 was the 2023 Chiefs game. You are just making up an excuse narrative. Even that defensive win in the 2020 Baltimore divisional game.......Allen tried to connect deep several times. Just wasn't happening.

Almost no turnovers and almost no injuries. Very discouraging they haven't done more. It really underscores the inability to win individual matchups at the receiver position. Watching them labor offensively at home again in that Baltimore divisional game after all those high scoring games earlier in the year was exasperating.

The WR room was rudderless because there was no alpha in place. No stud to set the tone. Sorta like former All Pro and alpha-persona Jordan Poyer is now being credited with as Cole Bishop is emerging. I mean.......every WR room has 4 or 5 other guys in it. A hyped rookie who is the #2 focus of marketing by the team behind the QB being told he is going to become WR1 probably isn't going to be taking his lead from Shoeless Mack Hollins and short-arms-slot-only Shakir. There wasn't even a captain in the room anymore with wrong-way Gabe gone. The lack of leadership was acknowledged as a concern of the Bills....I mean, where did you think that applied? And Allen isn't the Aaron Rodgers type either. Not a guy who is going to ride a teammate to make him better like Rodgers did with the enigmatic young version of Davante Adams. The tactical error was basically handing a player you were highly critical of after the season the WR1 job in 2025 and then playing him the most snaps all season as he continues to struggle and only then benching him outright for being late for at least his 3rd practice with the team. That's the definition of a day late and dollar short and the timing of it gives the perception to the public that he's the reason for the teams wildly inconsistent passing game(even if that weren't the case).
