Ed Oliver aside.

I have an idea, let's bring back all the players we haven't beaten the chiefs or bengals with in the playoffs, that'll get it done. brilliant.

That'll never happen (Schwartz) as long as McDermott's "bend but break" then "collapse" defensive scheme is here.

He was elite against some teams...until the playoffs the last few years in Buffalo. He would disappear in big games as in his last game in 2023 against the Chiefs. Diggs had 8 targets for 3 receptions for 21 yards and a fumble. The Chiefs had their best CB on him for the first half of that game and then moved him to cover Shakir in the second half.
Shakir had 9 targets for 7 receptions for 44 yards, 1 TD. That one touchdown by Shakir in the second half was the ONLY touchdown of the entire season allowed by KC CB L'Jarius Sneed.
Diggs was good until he wasn't...and a drama queen.
He will probably look good at the beginning of the season for NE and then drop off as the season goes on.
i was going to say the same thing. he was great during the regular season, and to be fair to Diggs, they (Josh Allen) really made each other better at times. Until the playoffs. he was invisible. I'd rather have the reverse.

It's funny how long it's been since I'd thought of old Art. I do miss those days of home grown news media. We really had it good. RIP old friend.

Great news for slightly above average running backs who can't block everywhere. 😛

Nailed it. Over the Chiefs. Scoring after getting the ball 2 points behind with 12 seconds to go
I'd much prefer a complementary 51-3 beating. I was at all the playoff games from that year, thanks to winning two tickets from 97 rock.

Unless I am misinterpreting your post, you seem to feel that if the Bills fall short of your expectations this year, it will be because of the defense. Please correct me if I'm wrong and accept my apology. Imo, if the Bills falter this year (barring an injury to Josh) it will be due to a lack of offensive weapons.
Since McDermott arrived in 2017, there have been nine NFL drafts. Seven of our first picks have been used on defensive players. I shouild note that two of these first picks were in round two (2020 and 2024). My thing is that the game has obviously changed since the 2010 rule changes. I can no longer visualize a Steel Curtain, or an 86 Bears defense ever happening again. I suppose that the old Arena League was ahead of it's time because the NFL is now an offensive league. I can't see how this can be denied.
McDermott is a defensive coach, and I don't see how this will ever change. He has a Hall of Fame QB and fails to make providing him with weapons his top priority. I am not saying that McDermott is a "bad" coach. My thing is that his primary focus is defense, (secondary in particular) whereas three of his seven first round picks were cornerbacks, and imo there is no reason to believe that this will cease.
Again, I think that McDermott is a good coach, but; if the Bills have a bad season this year it will be his fault (other than an injury to Josh) and he should be fired.

As always, jmo.
I can see your point, lacking offensive weapons contributing to a lack of success, especially if the team gets one dimensional, but I'll still have to stand on the eyeball facts of what I saw on display the last couple of years and now this first game. No doubt the game has changed a bit in recent years, but it will require a better product on defense to get past teams like cincy, Baltimore, and any other team that will no doubt have a strong offense. I also think it's more the scheme they draft for that makes this defense a sieve. We can simply look at those dreaded 13 seconds as a microcosm of the last 3-4 seasons of Josh's career here. When they needed a stop the most, it simply didn't happen. but hey, I might be unrealistic in today's version of the game, it's just how I see it.

He still had a little juice left in his game that year, it's a shame the team just couldn't do much with that opportunity, like they did with James Lofton.

Wait - you are all over this thread obsessing over what the first preseason game means for our defenses future - I make one comment about a post you wrote on public forum and I am obsessing? LMAO - I think Homey took one too many socks loaded with tennis balls to the dome
Pro Tip - If you only want one person to chime in to your hot takes you can always use the DM function homey 😂

So lets see - you mean the defense that even McD said somewhere between 0 and 1 on a scale of 1-10 was spent actually game planning for this game? Or do you mean the starters whose priority is not to go hard but to get a feel for contact and game speed while trying to not get hurt like Taron almost did going too hard?
Drawing conclusions from the first preseason game is about as realistic as the emails you get from Prince's in Africa who need your help to get their money to the US.
Geez, obsess much? settle down francis. Maybe go get a nice drink of water and cool off somewhere, I was responding to someone else, how about you stick your head somewhere else. 🤣

If there are any "realists" out there who expected to see what the 2025 Bills' regular season defense is going to look like in the preseason, I've got some really great investments I'd like to talk to you about.
I'm listening...

We’ll just have to disagree on this one, stay healthy and let the rookies and 2nd year players get experience in meaningless football, that’s all these practices are for me.
I can agree to disagree, respectfully. Keep in mind, the outcome of the game in total wasn't what I was concerned about, it was the defense lo0oking every bit the same recycled garbage from last year.

There are fans who believe these glorified practices are predictors for real football.
lol that’s awesome.
Great take lol. Go look at last year's preseason games, and the defensive turd the team fielded all season and tell me what's different? lol
Kinda was a predictor of what actually happened all year. lol
I do love the zealotry against logic and the deductive process.

All of them. If you need to add a reason, which are all legit, then there's really no point picking just one.

I do enjoy a good "let's mock the realists" thread....
Both teams played base defenses and offenses. The Bills defense looks every bit as ***** as they ever have looked, including the Bledsoe era. I'm sorry, but you should see more out of that unit, and there was no change. Piss poor play from the secondary and the ever invisible, yet highly praised Ed Oliver. Seriously, everyone on the "it's just one preseason game" side of the coin seem to not see that what was displayed looked just like the same garbage as last season, saying the same ridiculous excuses as last year at this time. Flame away.

Oh, you mean the "we can cut you at any time after your guaranteed money is paid and owe you nothing"?
Seems like a pretty tilted system in favor of the teams and owners don't ya think?
I never said contracts aren't all great, but it doesn't mean the team isn't honoring it to the letter of how it's structured. (Highlighted) For some players, absolutely, for others, absolutely not. Enter case study: DeShawn Watson. Let's face it... the NFL is a rather ***** business model.

Forgot about Shady. Yeah, he was really solid for a couple of years.
4 minutes ago, Big Turk said:Well, he isn't going to hold out and start missing game checks once the season starts, that's pretty obvious. And if he does, he is an idiot after what happened with La'Veon Bell who was a far more productive player than Cook is at the time this happened and then he essentially went from one of the best all-purpose backs in the league to terrible and out of the league within a few years of holding out and was never even close to the same player again.
Why do players have to honor contracts when teams don't? Seems pretty hypocritical.
Teams do honor them, they follow it as it's written. Not sure which example you'd have where that isn't the case
-
Trade. I don't care how good a player is anymore. This is a part of the game that I simply can't stand. And especially in his case with all the obnoxious tweets and "hold-In" BS. He ran for just north of 1000 yards ONCE. Sit your ass down son, that's average. And nevermind the touchdown total, big deal. He'd have much less if the offense wasn't getting him down there 50% of the time.
Is he good, yes. Is he probably the best we've seen since Fred Jackson? Yep. don't care. You signed a contract, how about you honor it instead of holding the franchise hostage.
End Rant.

I think it will be fun to sit near some of the Bills players when they go to watch the game.

Gabe had it at one time. Not anymore.
I would go as far to say, one game. He was amazing against the chiefs in that playoff loss.

The offense was arguably better without him and Diggs, who would even want to consider a guy who proved he has limited talent when removed from a top tier QB? He was CUT from the JAGUARS.
