I like it. Bills need more man corners.

Yes. All of the games are outside, potentially in bad weather. I think the Bills are the best bad weather team in the AFC. Three of the games are at home. The road games aren't far.

We're **once again** in fireable offense territory.

Absolutely weak play calls in a game they need to win.

Offense playing afraid.

He's a guy who makes bad decisions because of his ego. While I think he's a half decent coach, he's a manchild emotionally. He's never outgrown his desire to be pursued. He had a great thing at Tennessee. He has a great thing at Ole Miss.

This team isn't going far. I'm usually optimistic about these McDermott teams, but this is a down year.

Hurts has been handed a different system, a different voice, and a different philosophical framework nearly every season dating back to his Alabama days. Under those conditions, instability is the norm. He adapts by defaulting to the parts of his game he trusts. I also think the 2025 Eagles OC is a bit of a dud. Patullo is predictable with a billion hitch routes and hates the deep pass on a team with WRs who excel at running deep routes and getting open.

The Chiefs look tired and uninterested. That team has played a lot of games over eight long seasons. They have played 20+ more games than most of their opponents when you factor in the playoffs. The hunger isn't there.

A bit of both. Receivers do need to block at times, and do a good job at it. Joe Brady needs to be way less predictable with his plays and make those in-game adjustments faster. For whatever reason he decided to unleash Johnson and Cook as WRs against the Bucs, like the fan base has been screaming to do, and it worked. I hope he considers some pre-snap motion plays for Thursday. Have to make the Texans defense think a bit. You don't want them running downhill like the Falcons and Dolphins were.

I voted no. He can grow up. Bills need to accept he's not a WR1. He's a slot receiver, with *some* plays lined up wide. Bills will need to get creative to have both he and Shakir on the field at the same time. Bills, like most teams, can make mistakes is not playing rookies to their strengths as they develop. Elam was never going to be a zone corner. Coleman isn't a WR1.

I suspect there's things to correct here because when the team comes out flat, it's usually on the road. From the 2025 NFLPA Report Card on the Bills team travel: Note: In 2023, it was a D+. In 2024, team travel was a D, 25th in the league.

The Buccaneers and Dolphins frequently utilized pre-snap motion, often catching the defense out of position. That can be fixed.

Let's play some *more* zone.

Yep, I agree. I think the report cards are interesting to fans, and useful to players. The Bills ranked 23rd in the 2025 edition. Many Bs, one A (for weight room) but a C in Training Staff (surprise!) and an F in Team Travel (Shocker #2). The Bills were ranked 32 out of 32 in team travel.
