Dude. They were ONE 4th down conversion at the 3-yard line vs. Tennessee away from the #1 seed THIS year.

The Bills are basically taking the Steelers approach, which has served Pittsburgh well for a hella long time. Everyone looking for the “splash” is going to be repeatedly disappointed in Beane. I’ll say it again — I have ZERO concerns about how Beane will continue to build and tweak the roster through the draft and with mid-level free agents, re-signing homegrown talent to good value deals and avoiding those “splashes” that more often than not are mistakes.

Yeah…this is really the only reason it makes sense. Agree that it benefits the Bills (from a year-to-year home field perspective) to have Mahomes facing Herbert, Rodgers, and Carr while Josh is beating up on Wilson, Tua, and McCorkle.

Some big time, prime time matchups on that schedule: Bills @ Bengals Bills @ Chiefs Bills @ Rams Bills @ Ravens Titans @ Bills Packers @ Bills Browns @ Bills I envision five prime time games when the schedule comes out. For me, travel to Baltimore and LA are almost a certainty.

If Dorsey has aspirations to go even farther (i.e., HC) then staying in Buffalo as the OC is by far the best career choice.

Probably your diet. I think it’s pretty much a given at this point that McD called for a squib and there was a colossal miscommunication that led to Bass not knowing that was the call. While the overall result is still on McD, it’s a different problem than one of a “bad decision.”

I think it is absolutely hilarious that the Bills have admitted they kept Haack because they didn’t want to mess with Bass’ mojo. New punter is on the way…guaranteed.

I friggin’ hate Gesicki with the Fish, but would love him as a Bill. Paired with Knox, that’s a damn good two-TE set of guys who bring explosiveness to the position. My wish list for the Bills is to strengthen the OL, add another weapon or two for Josh, and continue the search for impact pass rushers.

Pay attention why exactly? Odd post and thread.

LOL -- make the playoffs every year with a shot to get to the SB. That's my kind of consistent failure. Do you ever read what you type before you hit "submit reply?" Beane knows how to manage the cap and isn't going to hamstring the Bills. Jesus.

Bingo. THAT is the takeaway here…nothing else. A star player — even if at the end of his career — just said he wishes he could have played with Josh Allen over Russ Wilson. Let that sink in. The worm has turned.

I’m not clicking on the article (seriously), but I think I’ve identified McD’s issues. Didn’t want to start yet another “McD coaching” thread but here’s how I see it. McD is by nature a conservative guy. He has grown while in this position and does embrace some form of analytics and aggressiveness, but his use of it is sporadic week-to-week, and as we saw Sunday night, even within games. Aggressive on the first drive, cautious in the 3rd quarter, and then awful at the end with regard to the kickoff and strategy. There was absolutely no reason to punt on 3rd-and-1 in the 3rd quarter after the Chiefs went up 17-14. I yelled at the TV and said “we’ll be down 10 soon” and was exactly right (well, 9, but they missed the PAT). Here’s the problem: McD is coaching as if he doesn’t realize he has the most dynamic QB on the planet on his team. As soon as McD accepts that he can trust Josh in all situations, this team will become better. Now, this wasn’t always the case. We all know Sugar High Josh didn’t truly disappear until this season. But now, after watching how Josh finished the year, there is no doubt. He’s a bona fide superstar and McD needs to reconfigure his in-game thinking accordingly. I would kill to learn what exactly was discussed on the sideline prior to the last kickoff and defensive series, but I know we’ll never find out. Maybe McD told Bass to kick it high and short and he just missed it. Who knows. One of McD’s best qualities is to not throw anyone under the bus. But who directed the defense to guard the sidelines when KC had THREE timeouts? It still burns me up. So, in sum, McD needs to embrace the beauty of having a superstar QB and let that guide his decisions rather than coaching as if he’s afraid to give up field position. I’m not saying McD needs to go full Brandon Staley or John Harbaugh, but getting close wouldn’t hurt. I really, truly hope Leslie Frazier gets a HC job. I’d be happy for him, but I also want to see the Bills bring in a young, innovative defensive mind. McD can be fixed. I’m sure of it.

Both things can be true, you know.

Thank you for this. It is a healthy dose of perspective.

Don’t forget your Reeboks with the stripes.

I’m more looking forward to the studio hosts talking about what KC has to do in the 2nd half to try and get back in the game.

I don’t believe I’ve ever seen one true “Titans fan” outside of the greater Nashville area, and it seems as though all of their home games feature a large contingent of the opponent’s fans. They remain viable in Nashville because of the attraction of the city for visitors, but they (along with Jacksonville) may have the smallest market of “fans” in the entire league.

The smart money is on Hyde to return kicks. Li’l Dirty will help us plenty on offense but he’s just too uncertain as a returner.

Yeah, I had a sh-i-t-t-y night’s sleep as well. Stayed up too late, got up too early…can’t focus on anything else. It’s gonna be a long 11 hours until game time. My plan is to watch the full replay of last week’s beat down at noon, leading up to Rams-Bucs. Flights and tickets to the game next week are in hand. Go get it done, boys. LET’S GO, BUFFALO!!!!! 🦬🦬🦬💙❤️

Well, you are emotionally unstable.

Friggin’ BARGAIN

Price of the tickets I bought yesterday has already doubled.

He’s a ***** holder

Bengals are a great matchup for the Bills. We don’t give up the big play and we’ll kill Burrow. Josh will do what he wants against that D. Get it done tomorrow, boys!!!

I bought two tickets yesterday. Wasn’t going to take a chance. Not cheap but who cares. I’ve been waiting for this opportunity to come around again for nearly 30 years.
