I’ve been crushing the Bills for not having a guy that’s ever had more than 851 yards receiving in a season. I can’t be mad about them bringing in a guy with 6 seasons over 1k (even if 4 of them were before Covid was a thing and 2 were socially distanced). Cooks is a pro. He’s proven that he can get open. He isn’t the player that he was a decade ago but he’s an upgrade to some of the guys they have now. We shouldn’t expect him to be dynamic but he may contribute a little. For Thanksgiving, that’s not a bad addition.

Fantastic post 🍻🍻

No doubt. Stale is the exact way to describe it. You can’t have stale with Josh or you miss your window. This team needs a lot of change to be back to an elite contender. They CAN win but everything needs to be perfect. They’re flawed. The quickest way to make significant change is at coaching

I think that if we are looking for a “silver lining” it’s that the NFC looks tougher than the AFC for the first time in a long time. The Bills obviously have underachieved to this point. They have not played well. If they get hot though and go on a run, they can win at NE, Den, Indy, etc… This might be a year, like the Rams last title, where someone got hot at the right time.

That’s what people are missing the most. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but some can’t shake the drought mentality. Assuming Josh Allen is upright, what is the floor for this team? Honestly, they are probably going to finish below what I thought the floor was. That speaks to the job this regime is doing. With Josh Allen, and playing in the AFCE, you’re probably looking at 11 wins minimum. That’s what they’ve done for the last 5 years or whatever. That’s not BECAUSE McDermott & co. are here. It’s BECAUSE Josh Allen is one of the best players in the world at the most important position in sports. I’ve said for the last few years that you could find pretty much any quality coach in the NCAA or NFL and get results comparable to what they’ve gotten. There are literally hundreds of coaches that could have won some AFCE titles and a playoff game or 2 in this era. Sure, maybe Mike McDaniel or Robert Salah would have a year where they win 12 instead of 13 but the Bills aren’t going to be a 7 win team with a change (assuming Josh is healthy). Odunze as well

Ben Johnson is an elite coach. He and Mike Vrabel will battle it out for COY. They deserve it. That franchise was a disaster and now they’re leading their division. The same goes for the Pats. They both have elite coaches and QBs that look like they can play. Both of those coaches would have been clear upgrades for the Bills. The Bills coaching is okay. It’s not bad. It’s not great. These guys are doing a great job. It’s the equivalent of having Baker as your QB instead of Josh. He’s fine but there is better. Both Johnson and Vrabel are better.

That was part of the urgency of this season. This is as easy as it gets. While things change there’s probably a 2 game difference based on degree of difficulty.

Fair. Locally, people know about the disaster of the Sabres. The pressure though can only be so big when it’s Paul Hamilton and Marty Biron talking about them for an hour a day. It’s local and secondary. That was the point. There’s no denying that he has completely messed that up. Look at the LaFontaine situation. We just don’t know what will happen here. Josh has covered for a lot of mistakes. Does Terry feel the urgency to win in Josh’s window? He should. Josh also has the power to end this. He has virtually equal power. If he goes to Terry and says he wants something different, he gets it. He’s at that stature that some reach. It’s the LeBron scenario. Maybe Terry doesn’t want to dump them but Josh can 100% make that happen. I don’t see him ever saying anything publicly but could certainly say that privately. Terry is facing more pressure in this situation than in any that he has faced. It’s a different pressure. It’s also a lot broader. We will see how he handles it but it’s not comparable to keeping Kevyn Adams.

I’d like to think that the 2nd best player on the 2026 team, isn’t on the roster currently. I’d say Cook is currently the 2nd best player. I’m looking for an addition that slots in between Cook and Josh. That would be at WR or pass rush if not.

I think that they should open the video with the clip of Beane on WGR. That’s how they opened their season video or Hard Knocks. I can’t remember which one. They should lean in on it.

I think that he’s a 1st team all-pro with JSN if the season ended today

The 2025 version of George Pickens would be, inarguably, the 2nd best player on the Bills behind Josh. He’s on pace for 104/1629/12. For perspective, that would be the best year a Bills WR ever had.
