You could replace Josh with Shane Buechele and the Bills would still win by 21.

Waaaayyyy too much hate. This isn't coming from people who are watching the A22, it is people parroting it because he got beat by Waddell on a crosser while in man coverage a few weeks ago. Benford has been as bad or worse. Overall Tre has been an "OK" CB2 on the outside.

I watch the A22 and I have season tickets at the 40 in the 300's. I see every snap from up above. Allen is really good when you zoom out. But he needs to be better than he's been the last few weeks. It's not a pie. Just because one is bad the other is good. His WR's need to be be better for sure. But he's also making it harder than it needs to be himself.

There seems to be this assumption that anytime Allen scrambles for 10 seconds that it is because everybody failed him. For whatever reason the last few weeks Allen has leaned into hero ball pretty heavily, looking off high percentage plays in order to huck down field for low percentage options. It has been most prevelant the last two weeks but noticible for the last 6 weeks. I love the dude, he is one of one, but he just doesn't seem like he has had a great feel for the offense this year. Even on a lot of his scrambles he will roll out with 15 yards of green grass in front of him, and throw up a prayer on 2nd and 10 rather than take an 8 yard scamper to leave us with 3rd and easy.

Teams should have unlimited challenges and only lose their ability to challenge once the either get two incorrect and/or run out of timeouts. If a team gets 10 calls overturned in a game that is a league/ref problem not a challenge flag problem. Don't want so many challenges/stopages? Stop getting so much wrong.

I hate that the ball has to survive the ground when caught on the sideline. Drives me bonkers. As soon as the knee, foot, elbow etc. touches outside the field of play the play is over. Whatever happens after that doesn't matter.

Not just had to step in. But an instant, measurable, and major improvement. Which means that the current status is so so so below acceptable. To answer the question of the thread, McD is the HC, he's the CEO of all things on the field. The CEO can't be jumping in and doing the CFO's job all the time just because he cut his teeth in finance.

The Cincinnati Bengals have entered the chat.

Good inventory. The only real correction I'd make is that I don't think Bishop has been average. I think he's been below. Benford has been very bad. I have to assume that the people claiming how useless Tre is see the 7 on Benfords jersey and just assume it's 27 and they're lumping all the bad play from both on one guy.

I swear my browser says twbillsdrive.com. But it keeps bringing me to BBMB.

Oh man, we are at peak drought era. Did you hear something from the busboy at Tempo?

Tre's poor play is drastically exageratted. Has he had 2 bad games? Yes. Has he had 6 bad games? No, lol. People are just parroting it at this point. He is the 2nd outside DB. He has largely been somewhere between "meh" and "fine" across 6 games. But people talk like he is just targeted on every single throw and responsible for our pass defense. Benford has been taken advantage of and he is our number 1 outside corner who we just paid. He has been glaringly bad compared to his expectations, pay, and role. Benford - 32 targets, 21 completions, 198 yards, 0 passes defended - 4 TD White- 20 targets, 14 completions, 113 yards, 3 passes defended - 1 TD I don't think either DB can count on consistant help from the safeties. Loads of people are out of position.

I agree.

It should be Kevyn Adams and it should have been done at least 365 days ago. My money is on Terry running it back with all 3. (I spared Lindy on this list, because his contract is up anyways. He isn't coaching anybody in 26-27. He would just be a scapegoat)

A lot of things happening, but the whole thing feels kerfuffled at the moment. There are too many times where Allen scrambles, runs to the LOS where there is nothing but green grass, resets, and heaves a BS, low percentage ball into oblivion on 2nd and 10 instead of picking up 7 yards with his legs and leaving us with 3rd and easy. On top of also being late, he has also looked right at open underneath routes only to launch low percentage throws down field. That isn't to say he isn't playing superman. He certainly is at times. Allen doesn't seem to have a great feel for anything at the moment, the offense feels broken.

Random thought this AM... What will the new stadium address be? 2 Bills Drive? And if it is 2BD, will @SDS have to change the website to 3 Bills Drive? These are the things I think about folks.

This is a feature and a bug. It allows them to be a 2-1 vote against Pegula. You know, the guy who told Brendan Shanahan that he doesn't need a PoHO because they already have one. (himself) Changing the power structure at OBD comes with some risk. It seems like Pegula's hand might be forced. But on the other hand the guy has still yet to fire Kevyn Adams. So who knows.

So be it. But firing McD and sparing Beane is futile.

I think drafting is a much bigger issue than coaching. I would prefer to start with a GM who isn't so close to McD and the guys on the roster. Distance from your lead administrator is sometimes necessary to make the right decision. I have no faith in Pegula to tear this thing down and rebuild it. ZERO. Keep the coach, hire a new talent evaluator.

Lolololololololololol. Go watch the Sabres...actually don't.

I think we have a Beane issue more than a McDermott issue. I have faith McDermott is still a good coach, he's proving to be one of the winniningest without a SB. It is time for a GM to sit above the HC and not be in the mud with them. It was great to get this franchise to wear it is now. I think Beane is too close to the roster, staff, etc, paired with meh drafting, has really sunk this team.

It seems like too many guys just look around at eachother after every play. Good news: Poyer can help with that. Bad news: We might need to play Poyer in order to help with that.

I don't understand why Russ is on the roster at this point. At the very least he should be inactive. Winston should be the back up to Dart.

don't understand why that 49ers catch isn't a catch. Two hands. Both feet. Possession. Steps out of bounds. The complete through the ground is so stupid. Once he steps out the play is over.

I find Daboll super unlikable. I don't hate the dude. Just as a HC in the league the more I have to hear him and the more I cringe kind of thing. My quick $0.02 is that he's likely pretty smart but a pretty bad leader/people person and the more that becomes more of his job the more gratingbhe becomes. Also, don't fork with peoples brains.
