    If Beane doesn't do anything before the trade deadline it's an epic fail

    Man, I can't remember a season with more moronic takes than this one. Team is 6-1 and half this board thinks they're headed straight for disaster with an incompetent front office. Yeah, ok. 

     

    It's not even half the board. It's a small contingent. They just happen to flood the board with posts every time things don't go exactly how they want them to. It usually is some variation of:

     

    "I'm not happy about _______ , I need to let everyone know I'm not happy about _______, somebody needs to do exactly what I want them to do so that I can stop being unhappy about _______ , and if they don't, then they need to pay dearly for not doing what I want and for me still being unhappy about ________ ."

    He definitely will face severe consequences. Maybe not this offseason but in a year or 2 the praise will turn to boos if the Bills don’t go past the AFC Championship game. 
     

    When expectations are Super Bowl you have to actually reach the Super Bowl at some point. If we had Von Miller last year I feel confident we’d beat KC last year. Beane could’ve had Von Miller last trade deadline.

     

    Right. If this team is in the AFCCG over the next few years and they don't get to the SB, then turn your anger on the guy that built the team to consistently get to AFCCG.

     

    Makes perfect sense...

    Hasn’t happened yet so how could it? 

     

    Beane has built this team into a SB contender. I'm sure he has been working every day in an effort to see if there is anyone he can acquire before the trade deadline that would help this team. If it doesn't happen it will be because it isn't the best move for this team (for any number of reasons.

     

    Regardless of what you believe, he won't face severe consequences for not bringing you what you want....

    Exactly. That’s what I’m talking about. The Bills won’t be able to roster all of these players. Some will get poached. Or maybe a guy from the past draft, like Babylon Spector, will get pushed down to PS and get snagged. Either way it’s smart to add depth in a year we have been unlucky with injuries. 

     

    I don't necessarily disagree with you. But hitting on those 5th and 6th round picks to develop is how you keep depth (and, in some cases, develop future starters or significant contributors) on good teams. Beane and McDermott are about winning now and in the future.

     

    If they do anything in the trade market, it will make sense for this year and beyond.

    So asking mcd to figure out what it is we're doing that makes them look flat off of a bye, in a year we're expected to be the one seed, is unrealistic?

     

    So, you are insisting that McDermott to be made to answer for the unforgivable sin of winning 6 straight games coming off a bye week - and for the especially egregious offense of winning last night's game by only 10 points in such an important year?

    You think math is meaningless? Teams have entire analytics depts that they pay millions for so you would probably be the only person that shares that opinion 

     

    I do not believe math is meaningless, nor do I believe group statistics are meaningless. I didn't say either of those things.

     

    I said that group statistics are meaningless in the manner you are trying to use them. In other words, group statistics have no predictive ability at an individual level. I can assure you that anyone who engages in statistical analyses for a living understands that.

    Considering you're a fan of a team that allowed a team to march downfield and tie a game with 13 seconds left?  You're really asking that question?

     

    Uh, that didn't happen last night. The Bills won.

     

    Honestly, they did. I wouldn't lie to you. Look it up....

    But that's what I'm trying to explain. I think it's the immediacy which is why it's being focused on. Switch the first and fourth quarters and I don't think people would be talking about it (I'm not the only one), or just saying in passing "He had a shaky start but..."

     

    I understand the bad throws happened in the 4th quarter; however, they literally did nothing other than preventing the team from winning by 20 points instead of 10 points. They had much less of an impact on the outcome of the game than all the good plays he had last night.

     

    But, if that is what some people want to focus on, then so be it.

    Maybe concerned is the wrong word. I'm asking would it be being spoken about so much.

     

    From memory, I don't think Josh's struggles in the first half at Tampa were really discussed post game last year, because of how brilliant he was in the second half.

     

    I don't know why it is being spoken about so much at all. It is not as if they happened with the game on the line, or at some critical point in the game, or if it was some kind of pattern with Allen. They literally happened with the team up by 17 points and on the opponent's side of the field. They didn't lead to scores by GB or a loss.

     

    He is having an MVP year. In the midst of all the MVP caliber plays he has displayed this year are probably 10-15 bad plays. It happens. You can find the same with Mahomes. Do you think Allen isn't aware of those bad plays?

     

    Why are you not talking about the beautifully thrown passes, escape from would be sacks, and great plays with his legs that led to a 27 -10 lead midway through the 3rd quarter that made those 3-4 bad plays in the 4th inconsquential?

    I think part of the issue is they happened back to back and in the fourth quarter. If they'd happened in the first quarter then Josh improved would people be so concerned? If one interception had happened in the first half, the second in the fourth quarter and the overthrow at some random point inbetween would there be such a reaction? I don't think so. It's because they basically happened one drive after another after another - as though he got stuck in a funk and couldn't get himself out of it mentally.

     

    Are you honestly concerned about Josh Allen?

    He was awful. Could care less what some made up nerd metric says. 

     

    Best QB in the NFL who had a bad game. It happens. Who cares. We won comfortably. And move on. 

     

    You want to see awful QB play? Go watch the Pats - Jets game. Allen wasn't close to being awful. He took the team to five straight scoring drives and 27 points through the middle of the 3rd quarter. He had 3-4 bad throws over two drives in the fourth that, in all honesty, only kept them from scoring 34-37 points - not put them in danger of losing the game. 

     

    He wasn't awful. He had 3-4 "awful" plays. There is a difference - and they weren't the first "awful" plays he has had this year. It happens.

    If that was the Pats, Dolphins, Jets or even Chiefs playing the second half we'd be calling it out as trash and saying they're clearly not as good as they think they are, with a weak underbelly which can be exposed.

     

    We know we can do better. We know we can do better. It's good to have this kind of warning in week eight and not in the post season. I think the defense was adapting to the situation on the ground, and basically bending not breaking. My biggest concern is Josh's interceptions. It's not like they were down to great defensive plays or down to other errors on defense. They were basic errors that any QB would be called out over, let alone someone with the undoubted skill and talent Josh has.

     

    No, the overwhelming majority of us would not be saying that.

    6-1, but a wake-up call when they needed it? 

     

    Wake up call to what? It is the NFL. They are going to have plays, drives, quarters, halves, even games, when they don't play to the level of which they are capable - offensively and defensively. Every team does. Why does it have to be interpreted as anything other than what it was?
