All we need is one GM out there who thinks Keon is better than he looks because the Bills aren't utilizing him properly. And that one GM might give us a 4th.
If that GM even exists, which is doubtful.

One of the weirdest Bills games of the Allen era. I actually expected us to do better with Coleman out and we did! Shavers was excellent. Davis really contributed but the Shakir stat was really unexpected.
It'll be interesting to see how we use the WRs going forward. Coleman didn't seem to add anything; we might be better with Gabe starting and Shavers backing him up. And deploying Hardman as an occasional speed guy could add a new wrinkle.
Our normal starters (Coleman, Palmer, Shakir) only accounted for 14 yards in a game we scored 44 points. 2nd teamers (Gabe, Shavers) totaled 130 yards. I wonder how Brady and McD will process all this.

My apologies if this been posted here previously.
Greg Cosell discusses the reasons he sees watching the tape why Buffalo’s pass game has issues starting around the at the 8min 15sec mark.
Partial summary..l
“I think the concepts, for NFL standards, are somewhat elementary.
I don’t think they do a lot of things, in terms of their concepts and their route combinations.
And I think that, when you combine that with the fact that Josh Allen, at times, and he’s always been like this, he will leave the pocket prematurely, and not neccessarily trust the process, and deliver the ball within structure uh, that is presented, however basic it is, then you get a combination that just makes it difficult for a pass game to have consistency.”
He goes on to discuss that you still can do a lot of things tactically, even without great receivers with rooute concepts and combinations…
Thanks for posting. I watched this video and agree with Cosell wholeheartedly. There's no question that we don't have an elite WR corps. But Brady hasn't done a good job playing the hand he was dealt. The run game is fine, but the downfield passing game is clearly suboptimal.

Nothing good ever happens at 2 AM
My mom once told me that nothing good happens after 11 pm. My younger self disagreed, but now I see her point.
My prayers go out to this young man.

A week ago, right after the Fins game, if I were asked to predict how our receivers would perform against the Bucs, I would have never guessed...
* Shavers would be the leading receiver;
* Cook would be the second leading receiver;
* Gabe would have more catches than all our normal starters (Shakir, Palmer, Coleman), who were all healthy;
* Coleman would watch the game in street clothes;
* Latu would have more receiving yards (4) than Shakir (-3);
* I'd watch Josh throw deep to Mercole Hardman;
* Hardman with 0 yards would also have more yards than Shakir.
But this strange game also saw Josh score 6 TDs in a critical victory, so I'm okay with the weirdness.

I have no issues if Coleman just can’t cut it. But to hear he has an effort problem is disappointing.Not just an effort problem. He's shown up late for meetings, can't get separation, and hasn't been producing.
Given all his shortcomings, it's not surprising to learn - if true - he's going to be a healthy scratch.

I predict that I have no idea which Bills team will show up. The one that dominated the Chiefs or the one the got punked by Atlanta and Miami.
Sadly, a waning crescent moon tells me we'll get the Bad News Bills that were punked by the Fins...
Bucs 34
Bills 20

I think his struggle this year is about 3 things
...
3. He's lost faith in something. Be it the skill level of the players around him or maybe Joe Brady and his offense. Maybe it's the things he's asked to do are things you ask a normal QB like Mac Jones to do and he's bored. But he, at least to my eyes, doesn't seem as invested with what is happening on the field as he was.
...
If Josh lost faith in Brady, that would be a HUGE problem.
And maybe the entire offense has lost faith in Brady and that's why people are noticing the OL and Keon not giving 100% effort.

I take a lot of analysts with a grain of salt. But I pay attention to Kubiak. He's a former Navy QB, NFL backup, and college coach. And he doesn't watch Bills games while simultaneously watching 3 other NFL games. He goes back and watches All-22. He knows what he's talking about.

Remember Bob Kalsu!!!
The word "hero" gets used a lot these days. Celebrities are called heroes when courageously disclosing personal information about their sexual orientation, drug abuse, or whatever. Political commentators are called heroes for expressing uncomfortable "truths." Athletes are called heroes for playing through injuries.
I'm not demeaning of that. But, to me, people who risk their lives in the service of something greater than themselves are the real heroes.Bob Kalsu was one of them.

Agree - Those who know what to watch for, its obvious Josh is missing reads and Im not wasting time proving his "base" is off to GoBills808...it will come out in the offseason about his mechanics. Hes been talking to his guy and working thru it in season too.
Its mostly mental IMO - need to trust the OL to hold up, trust the reads, and when that's off his mechanics are off with an extra pat of the ball or getting his eyes out of place/leaving the pocket early.
Josh is still amazing, people here have issues with any criticism of him. Hes had multiple games below his standard, just so happens weve lost 3 of those.
Josh is missing reads this season. But he's missed reads all his career. That's what holds him back from being the GOAT - he's not as good as making reads and getting the ball out on schedule as, for example, T. Brady was. But Josh is still freaking good - this year and every year.

Can we bench Sgt. Ski?

Don't gloat when you win.
Don't whine when you lose. -
This isn't Beane's best roster and injuries have hit our defense hard.
But I don't think "it's over." I think we have an above-average HC, an MVP QB, and a decent - not elite - personnel department. And as long as Allen is healthy, we have a chance.
We've got to hope Beane learns from his mistakes and does better going forward.

I wish anyone who serves their country and communities - teachers, doctors, firefighters, LEOs... as well as service members and veterans - a happy Veteran's Day. My thanks to all of you.

I'm generally a McD supporter, but I agree he doesn't have a great record with coordinators. Let's compare our current coordinators with our archrivals:
Chiefs:
OC: Matt Nagy. Former head coach and "Coach of the Year." Innovative thinker.
DC: Steve Spagnuolo. Former head coach and one of the best DCs in the game. Tony Romo says he should be the HOF.
Bills:
OC: Joe Brady. Young OC struggling to prove himself.
DC: Bobby Babich. Young DC struggling to prove himself.

It’s wild to me if that’s the case.
The guy has every opportunity right now to be a superstar. An MVP qb, no real WR competition or pressure around him, and the entire city looking for him to step up.
What more could you ask for to get some effort?
This all sounds quite logical. But who knows what's going on in his personal life. Maybe his dad is dying of cancer or his gf is sleeping around. Maybe he's got mental health issues like Marshawn Kneeland. We just don't know.
But regardless of the reasons behind his lack of effort, if he's not putting out, he shouldn't be on the field.

Coincidence he can play fast and confident when he doesn’t have to look over his shoulder worrying about Rapp coming in and breaking him in two? 😂
Cole was also in there behind on the Hairston interception, but saw him in position and looked like he held back. I remember thinking Rapp would have put his helmet in his back and messed it up.
Poyer was out there for more than 50% of the snaps in the KC game. Maybe his presence and experienced leadership was good for Cole?

If the binary choice is whether Keon is a bust or the next Eric Moulds, sadly I vote bust.
Moulds HOF-type talent was wasted during the drought. It would have been great to see what we would have done if Moulds (at his peak) was paired with Andre Reed during SB runs of the 90s. What a duo that would have been!
I hope Keon gets better but he'll never come close to Moulds's level.

Weird Game for WRs
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
While today's passing game wasn't as efficient as the Chiefs game, it produced more points. And I'd like to see the same WRs suit up next week.
