Close on everything- only obviously wrong call appears to be catch and fumble

I was shocked that Glenn put his career in the hands of Fields with no credible alternative. Taylor is better if he can stay healthy
one might say it was a sink/swim choice with the goal being anything but .500 -

That’s what they wanted as strange as it sounds. That’s the concept of everybody eats. It’s about role players. It’s a team full of role players and Josh. Cook forced his way into star territory. When you draft poorly in the first 100 picks you are left trying to convince people that it’s better to have interchangeable pieces than to have elite talent. Lol, at least half of this message board bought into that nonsense. 🤣🤣
I have a hard time disputing that.
but will say I think at some point it crossed from scrappy hard workers around him to fans.
I know hard knocks is going to be edited to create narratives but there were a few times it seemed like guys in jerseys, and guys in polos, were about to ask him for autographs.
paired with that story in week 1 about someone telling Palmer not to worry because Josh would get it done…
it really feels like the 52 are feeling the mvp hangover now, and that’s starting to make 17 feel the need to carry them too

I’ll give the refs credit - I think the right call on a difficult one there

The last few years, Bills were a lot of FUN to watch.
This year they are quite painful for many Bills fans to watch. Opponents are likely glad to play us now, a chance to use your run game.
If they lose to Carolina (who pummeled and shut out Atlanta a few weeks ago) it is going be an ugly season of misery and mock drafts.
Identity? The Invisible Men
meh- the carolina beat atlanta stuff does t do it for me any more than when our bad team beat better ones occasionallyi do think that our current rallying cry is unfortunately “the team that has Josh Allen.” And it concerned me a few times watching hard knocks how both teammates, coaches and our GM all seemed to regard him not as the leader but as the holy savior.
Josh doing commercials doesn’t worry me. “Josh will handle this while I watch the spectacle” worries me a lot more.

Or maybe the coaching sucks. He was the best nickel in the league 2 years ago when Leslie was here.
Older, heavy impact and not a durable frame.
we should be expecting him to decline.

Not to nitpick, but 2026 dead cap hit of 7.75 and 2027 dead cap hit of 5.45.
the 5.45 is if we wait until after 2026. Unless there’s a major shift, we can’t let him play under that contract next year -
I think ogunjobi is relatively just another guy in the DT rotation. Won’t move the needle but better than a street free agent coming in
hoecht should be a nice addition. Not a game changer but will help with disguising looks and keeping legs fresh on the more important guys with less drop off

I seem to be in the minority here, but I feel that when Buffalo had that #1 WR in Diggs, and Joe Brady didn't utilize him like Brian Daboll or even Ken Dorsey.
(rushing doesn't account for the QB runs)
In 2020, almost 600 passing attempts vs 400 rushing attempts. A 1500-yard receiver vs a 700-yard rusher, Diggs' success catch rate was 65.1 %. record 13-3.
In 2021, 655 passing, 461 rushing. 1225 yards receiving, 870 yards rushing. Diggs' success catch rating is 55.9%. Record 11-6.
In 2022, 574 passing attempts, 430 rushing attempts. 1429 yards receiving, 819 yards rushing. Diggs' success catch rating is 66.3%. Record 13-3.
I already listed what happened in 2023.
My point here is that while so many are clamoring for a new #1 WR, like Chris Olave. Even if that player is a Justin Jefferson or a Ja'Mar Chase type that Josh Allen can depend on every pass play, I don't think it would matter in the way this OC schemes his offense. It sure didn't matter with Diggs.
The Buffalo Bills have utilized the very same scheme that the New England Patriots used with Tom Brady, you know, the guy who won all those Super Bowls.
Offensive Scheme: Erhardt-Perkins. Brian Daboll used this same playbook to build a crazy good passing offense.
I think many of us do not believe the Brady diggs overlap is indicative of future possibilities-

This snippet summarizes the article very well -
It's the turnovers. The offense simply never gave away the football. Between their bye week in November last year and the win over the Dolphins, the Bills played 12 games (including playoffs). Their offense turned the ball over exactly one time. That has never happened before, and it has never even been approached.
its hard to be totally unprecedented all the time. You can flip a coin and land on heads a dozen times but if you aren’t weighting it, that’s hard to repeat.
without elite talent backing up opposing safeties, and game changing pass rushers- it’ll be hard to be unprecedented for 12 more games now
hopefully bosa/rousseau/oliver turn up at least a shade more and we find some way to spread defenses thinner too

Maybe a wild one here but…
what’s the cost on Christian Watson?
coming off an ACL. Ugly injury history but…. Has speed we’ve never captured with this roster, and a big frame we seem to like with being physical. Limited space in Green Bay currently and they might like some draft capital.
almost anyone we talk about will be a distressed asset

I agree 100. I said that after the Pats game. Diggs was all pumped up on the sideline getting everyone fired up. Haven’t seen that from anyone on the Bills.
Josh comes off the field and takes a seat on the bench by himself or next to Trubisky. He seems sullen and seems to have isolated himself from his teammates. He used to be the emotional leader of the team. I have not seen that in some time.
The team really seems emotionless. I think they have tuned McDermott out. This is year 9. I don’t think the players get anything from McDermott at this point. They know his schemes are bland and not creative. And probably don’t expect to be any better than they have been because they know they get no advantage from our coaching staff. And I think he plays favorites with marginal veterans over more talented young players. And the players have to see that.
I believe a major housecleaning is in order if rhe same disinterested play continues through the season.
I think they the league is passing the Bills by. And if they don’t adapt they are going to take a big step back.
I dont think Josh is disinterested so much as a camera man and the game day production choices sure can change perception.-

Maybe I'm being naive here. Can you point me to a recent trade for a high profile guy in line for a big extension where the team traded significant capital to get him but didn't extend him? I assumed the extension is done almost as part of the trade. Player/agent are involved in the discussion to the point of having enough leverage to influence where he lands.
Also, Olave makes 15M next year. Who's left to restructure? We're already up against it after the deals this year. Even in your scenario with no deal I'm not sure it works. Edit: I guess we could take a 1st for him as a rental and them trade him this off season, but again, I think player/agent wind up getting some say in this even if we think they shouldn't as most teams seem to operate that way when it comes to high profile trades.
as it turns out next year we could restructure several guys- including some we’ve already seen calledthe only bummer is the new big deals haven’t played out great so you may not be racing to do Bernard/rousseau

Rickey Scoops, who despite the goofy name is a legit insider on Twitter, reported last week that the Saints are open to trading Olave. The other day Diana Russini reported they are working on a long term extension for him so some conflicting reports there... Could be the classic case of a team trying to drive up offers by putting out a report that indicates they want to keep him. All I know is we don't have the luxury of being patient and waiting for them to blink. Giving up a 1st round pick is not the worst case scenario. Getting past the trade deadline without adding a legit WR is the worst case scenario.
Ironically almost all the saints fans I know that are grounded in reality think a first is a pipe dream and a two would be them robbing the bank stillto pass on DK for a 2, or Pickens for a 3 to get place for a 1 would be criminal
16 minutes ago, HappyDays said:Metcalf went for a 2nd in the same scenario. Hopkins went for a 2nd in his prime. AJ Brown went for a 1st, Diggs went for a 1st... It isn't going to take some blockbuster trade value. Olave is closer to the 20th best WR than he is to the 1st. That still makes him easily the best weapon on our team by a country mile. But this isn't like trading for Micah Parsons. A 1st should be enough if the Saints are open to trading him.
if we offer a first they would sprint to process the paperwork-

He posted a picture to his Instagram of him in Highmark with a Bills logo in the background. Because he NEVER posts to IG, it seemed to signify something and the influencers ran with it.
in perspective it’s his first non-paid ad post in yearsbut it’s a little bit of a stretch still
heck, I’m skeptical he even has the login to the account or any idea what’s on it, right? More likely his agency flubbed this one a bit just not being super aware of current context

Ticket prices for concerts, sporting events and other entertainment options have gotten to the point where more often than not they exceed my perceived value. At the same time I'm aware that when I was growing up there were folks older than me that complained about the same so maybe I just hit that age and need to reconsider or stfu.
no concerts have changed their pricing dramatically the last 5-7 years. That’s not normal inflation within your existing budget, it’s an attempt to get a much larger slice of your piea mid tier act in a theatre tour with dinner, parking and a babysitter is more than a noteworthy vacation these days.
it’s a real bummer- I used to really enjoy going to see acts that I wasn’t super familiar with or big names in genres that weren’t my cup of tea typically- but the cost to get in the door makes it prohibitive. I have to be much more intentional about my entertainment dollars
it’s a real bummer for being into art just for art’s sake and wanting to expand horizons

It is not the first time Ullbrich has done that to him. The loss to the Jets a few years back where he ended up hurting his elbow was strikingly similar.
It was Josh's worst game definitely since Houston last year. Possibly longer. And if I thought it was just that which caused us to lose Id be relaxed. But as much as I'd love to say "it was just Josh had one his very rare bad days, we are all good" there was a lot more wrong than that.
bingo. These are the same issues from the offseason projections and last week and…it’s Keon missing a block or an oddball missed route/catch doesn’t worry me but Keon being draped by a defender does in a very different way
fatal flaws vs hiccups happen

The problem is that's 2 weeks in a row he's played the same. Is he losing interest/ fire? Is he tired of not being supported properly by the front office? All of this stuff could be grating on him. I'd be tired of the front office's bullshyt too.
or he’s just a human being with his daily job performance being hyper analyzed by millions and some days are just decently good and not all time great in the history of elite guys47 minutes ago, Bleeding Bills Blue said:Palmer played 6 snaps before his injury, Kincaid was out, and we still only managed to keep shakir on the field for 34 out of 57 snaps.
and cook for less than that.

Shaheed can. He plays mostly outside. He is and every down WR who can win downfield. Give him Keons minutes. Keon I think played 49 plays last week. Give 30+ to Shaheed. Shaheed has the fastest speed recorded in the 2025 NFL season so far. Outside WR, excellent punt returner, only $1.2 million on books 2025. Just the threat of Shaheeds defense hasn opposing D on their heels. That opens up the middle of the field- great for Cook, and Kincaid.
agreed.i don’t think he duplicates anyone here
also, consider me on record as disagreeing with someone’s comparisons between Shakir and prime Kupp for what that’s worth

I'd like to see Cook & Johnson on the field at the same time. Especially when we are short at WR and TE. Put one in the backfield and one out wide. Use motion and you can run/pass whenever you want - defense would be on their heels and have match-up problems w/either back.
just wild that down Kincaid and Palmer we still had cook at his own floor for snap count. I think I saw it was his second lowest snap share of the year?
you’d think given injuries this is the spot you involve him extra not less

Same thing I said all season to the "But Cook doesnt play 3rd down" statements: That's a coaching issue, not a Cook issue.
I keep saying “remember when they used to pull him in the red zone?”it hurts bad to see your best players off the field on the most important plays. Especially when it’s clearly been a mistake in the past

he probably doesn’t win but if he does it’s the game. Seems worth a shot in that balance.
