Personally I think of all games this season, Elam should have been playing last night. Man is his jam.
The ankle though. I think you pointed out last night though that the Bills would still in zone way longer than they should. Maybe McD needs to back off his love for zone against some of thesesmarter QBs in the league. I for one am getting sick of these long drives against our defense that are still ending up in points and keeping Josh off the field. By the time Josh gets the ball, he’s got to be thinking don’t screw this up, bc I might not get the ball again!

I’d like to see some vintage Power I next game. That’d be cool.

Possibly, but they do have cap issues. It will be interesting. Just some really bad luck for Tre these past few seasons.
I think their entire defensive backfield is an interesting subject. Micah’s in the last year of his deal, which I’d be surprised if they can and choose to re-sign because of age/salarycap. Dane also in last year of deal. With the trade for Douglas, if somehow Tre gets close to form (a big IF), maybe Benford moves to FS. Elam’s development is also a wild card. Meanwhile, Poyer’s diminishing speed is concerning, so not sure what we should hope to see happen in the SS role. No one on the team impresses me as the potential Poyer successor, but I’m not sure he’s got another season in him.

Well I tried warning you guys for a while but yes it sucks.
Would simply encourage all of you to enjoy rest of season but assume the worst (i.e. no playoffs, losing season, Pegulas keeping McD/Beane and using injury excuse, etc). Life is too short to be emotional and mentally ravaged by this ***** football team.
Is that how you get by as a Dolphins fan? -

I don’t see much point in restructuring TW. Is there much track record of CB’s returning to form post- Achilles injury? I think releasing him before his roster bonus is due is basically a slam dunk.
I’m skeptical if Tre will be able to come back from the Achilles injury, although this regime seems to be about as loyal as they can be to guys who work hard and are seen as leaders within the team. I’ll be surprised if this regime releases him, before giving him that shot at a return. But, I don’t think it’d be unreasonable for them to use the potential release as a bargaining chip to work out a more reasonable deal for both sides.

Before they just cut Tre outright, I think they discuss a restructuring to a level that would be more in line with his new market coming off injury,
With Knox, I think they consider his value in more than just being a pass catching TE, but his blocking ability too.
As for Von, depends his level of play by end of the season. But they’re kind of screwed there no matter what.

Not sure if anyone saw NBC Boston's commentary after the Monday night loss to the Patriots.
They seem pretty confident the Pats ended the Bills season and made them eat *****...
Given morale is rightfully low today, I just wanted to bump this video from a couple years back. Team had just lost to NE in Primetime at home, was 7-6, and staring at not winning division or making playoffs. NE broadcasters were talking a bunch of smack, saying stick a fork in this team, and then this team found its identity and looked like one of the best teams in the league for several weeks in a row.My point is with Josh Allen and some of the talent still around him, we might feel a whole lot different about this team one month from now versus today. Whether that happens or not, I always enjoy revisiting this video and the smugness of these guys being proven totally wrong.

Bold prediction: Once Linval Joseph is on the field more and Douglas is in at CB full-time, the rest of our DL will look way better.
This defense has been reeling from the injuries, AND playing against an elite QB like Burrow did not help. Hosting Russell Wilson on MNF and then Zach Wilson seem like a great get-right spots for this D-line.

If we can’t beat the likes of the Eagles or Chiefs in a few weeks, well then we’re just pretenders anyway. But it ain’t over yet.

I’d be curious to see how he ranks on per snap basis, versus the likes of Peterman and other NFL junkies that have essentially worked their way out of enough playing time to lead in a stat like this.

We’ll finish the season winning all the games left.
We’ll have a 14-3 record but i’m not sure it’ll be enough to be the n.1 seed.
Mark my words.
@Italian Bills - Is it too much to ask you to wave your magic wand again, and predict that we will win the rest of our games this season? There is so much doom and gloom today, this fanbase needs some hope and something to rally around.-

Two penalties in particular were terrible. One was roughing the passer and then the intentional grounding ( I am pretty sure Davis screwed up his route on that one)
Collinsworth was adamant about the tripping call too, which would have at least put us in FG position and stopped the clock. -

As many have said, he's regularly talking to people. It's likely just convenient camera work since weirdo headcase Josh with super athletic skills is the narrative now. He's not actually sitting there in a trance for 10 minutes at a time.

When is anyone going to mention Playoff Lenny? Guy is going to be Josh’s best friend in that backfield.

If that is your O you are a 6-8 win team.
I will add 90% of his catches are check downs. Anyone can catch those balls in reality. The random CIN TE’s all had more legit plays. Not saying this to put Kincaid down just that’s overly hyping it to given the plays he is making. We have seen very few downfield catches, catches in the seem, cross routes. They are using him more like a fb at this point.
Have you ever watched Dawson Knox try to catch a football?-

Even with a tough schedule down the stretch, if we can’t make a run with that tough schedule, well then how were we ever going to make a run in the playoffs? So let’s start with a regular season run now.

Why is it that after each possession Josh sits by himyself? No QB magical coach nearby, no tablet in his hands to see what he missed? Nope just him sitting stewing over another missed opportunity. Don't get me wrong aholes....ima big huge JA17 fan but good gawd almighty does he not need some direction at times??? WTAF! Someone needs to address this. Even the dreaded GOAT had either people or tablets guiding him. Again.....WTAF!
I heard it’s because his breath smells.-

You know the refs are bad when you find yourself actually agreeing with Cris Collinsworth all evening. I feel like hell has frozen over.

I think the close game narrative is a little disingenuous given that the Bengals kneeled out their final drive.
Well Kincaid also fumbled at the ten and we got screwed on at least a few calls by the refs. So I’d argue it truly was a close game.-

I've been around for years. I don't post much. I do when I have something to say. I read it daily. There's not anything more for me to add. I've watched every game of the current staff and qb Era, it's not a pretty picture if a championship is the goal. Just my view based on performance in those 4+ years.
So much for a hopeful future 😝. Man, that was probably our toughest game all regular season. We’re 5-4 now, and time will tell, but I think we’re gonna make a run still.-

For everyone saying the Bills are done, we just lost by less than a TD to one of the other top AFC teams in their place on a Sunday night. Their crowd was as loud as any I can remember for an opposing team. Sucks to be 5-4, but don’t count this team out yet. We win the next two (DEN & NYJ), who cares about Philly, and then beat KC out of the bye, we will be at worst 8-5, feeling good and ready for our stretch run. We were 7-6 just two years ago, ended up winning the division and were only 13 seconds from hosting the AFC Championship. Anyone throwing in the towel already can get lost!

I've watched these past 4 years, the window isn't closing, it's closed.
Allen isn't the answer. Good QB, but he can't win the clutch games. Oh I know fans will throw a multitude of excuses....coaching, personnel, and each have merit on their own right.
Beans and McD need to go, so does Allen. Let Diggs go to. Get what you can in trade value. That should be solid building blocks if the right management team and coaching staff are assembled.
Many will hate this opinion, but if your not accepting the reality of the current situation, then your living your Bills Fandom in la la land.
The current organizational make up, from management and coaching to roster personnel is not taking this team anywhere.
I know, hate it, hate me and a growing number that share this opinion, but it won't change the reality on the ground. This team is going nowhere, and the past 4+ years outcomes project this.
The time for denial is over. It's time to move on to acceptance.
I like your confidence in starting this thread. Will you still be around here, even though the window is closed? -
