I think it's a bit of both. Our WR room is right near the bottom in the NFL, if not dead last. Maybe the Titans are worse. It's close with the Browns/Raiders. Saying that, I don't love Joe Brady's passing concepts. And I think I'm starting to see why Carolina didn't either. They are just not imagentive at all. He goes back to the same simple concepts, which are good sometimes, but feel a lot like they work better in college ball but not so much in the NFL. Expecially when you've been found out by a defense.

Also, they generated very little pressure on Mills. He was able to stand in the pocket and deliver, for most of the night, outside of a couple blitzes. I agree about the first half as well, like why the hell are you giving up 7 points on a 2 min drive to backup QB. As far as the offense goes, I'm now convinced that Brady has awful passing concepts. He has one man beater concept he runs. Mesh. And he ran it back to back on the last 2 plays of the game. That combined with the talent level of the WRs, you get the Bills current passing scheme. It's a mess.

The biggest miss is they have reloaded on defense this offseason, and it's gotten worse. Bad contracts, really bad drafting and aging vets. And the fundementals are just awful, it's a complete poo bag. And then it's what the heck they'll do on the offensive side of the ball. EDIT: I don't think Beane/McD deserve to solve those problems.

This is where I’m at. Yes the offense is frustrating and played badly as a whole but that’s what this game was always going to be. Going on road. #1 defense. It was going to be tight. And you let Davis Mills carve you up in a 2 min drill before half time? After you just went ahead?

Knox was open BECAUSE of the offensive pass interference. If Josh throws to Knox, then does a backflip and runs down the field to block for Knox who goes in for a game winning TD, the play would still not count.

At around 3:55, he's asked how he thought the totality of his play was vs the Bucs. He says "I didn't play too well", is the exact quote.

Not just the Miami DL bearing down on Allen, how about the fact that CB Jack Jones is ready to drive on the ball if Allen attempts to throw to Shavers. There's every chance he can break that up even if Allen somehow can get it up and over the defender.

Exactly. They have the WRs that can win their routes, it's not the personel groupings.

I don't really think it's the personal grouping that's the issue, the Rams are very successful out of 13 and run it more often than the Bills.

In formations, first number is the number of running backs. The second number denotes number of tight ends. When someone says running 13, they mean there is 1 rb and 3 te's in the formation.

And now we are going to be in a shoot out

Also, what’s the chance the Bills are looking for a WR in the 1st round of 2026 anyways? And you get Waddle as a known quantity.

I think it still somewhat applies, not even because of knowing draft order but also no knowing value of that pick. How often are 32 1st round grades given? If there’s only 15 in 2026, pick 16s value isn’t really of a 1st, because there’s not 1st round talent there. It’s more like a 2nd. And the uncertainty is what degrades picks so far in future. Not necessarily the order of picks. So maybe a 3rd is slightly over degrading it… but it’s still quite possibly valued as a 2nd.

It’s hard to assign value to an unknown. Yes it’ll be a 1st in 2027 but as we know, there aren’t 32 1st round grades in any given draft. You can’t just say a 2026 1st has the same value as one in 2027.

A 2026 3rd, at this point is roughly worth a 4th because of uncertainty of where the Bills will finish. Maybe it’s still a 3rd because of where we are in season. A 2027 1st is worth a 3rd roughly (degrades a round per year away). So Beane offered a 3rd and a 3rd(4th) for Waddle and you think that’s an overpay? Sorry but that’s an underpay for me.
