I was thinking the same thing multiple times! No one on the Bills O makes catches like that… ever. Such a luxury some QBs have.

It’s a crazy season.. we’ve beaten the Ravens, KC and Bengals. We’re 9-4. And yet, fighting for a wild card spot because the Pats and Broncos just keep pulling wins out of their assets. if any team can go on the road and win it’s the Bills, but why can’t it every be a cake walk like the Chiefs had for the last 6 years?

Yes. They basically ran 2 run plays over and over, with a few TE/RB passes mixed in for key conversions. It was a simple game plan that the Steelers just couldn’t stop. To play devils advocate… maybe they had more to the game plan? But with Cook and Davis being so unstoppable, Brady never had to dig deeper than than the 3 or 4th play on his sheet? If that’s the case, it was a great win because we won easily and put pretty much nothing on tape for the Bengals.

I wanted to hear you out… but had to stop right there. The Bengals are absolutely NOT the toughest game left on the schedule. It will be a tough game, mostly because we get them after a 10day rest which gives Burrow more time to get back in a rhythm. But the Patriots are absolutely a better team than the Bengals… AND we get them after their bye week! And in Foxboro. The schedule makers did us no favors with this little stretch! Oh yeah.. and we get to play the Eagles still. so… sorry.. I stopped reading your post at the start of the 2nd paragraph. Any conclusions drawn on the assumptions that next week is the toughest team/game we have left are flawed conclusions.

Completely agree! On several occasions… I was screaming for a play action pass. Nope. Same run and it gets stopped. Then they have to pass. That may be his biggest issue. Situation awareness and dictating being proactive with his calls. He could do a lot more to put the offense in better position and be less predictable. when it works. It works! But when you get a good D coordinator..it gets easy to defend.

Agreed. They’re trying. And Beane even tried for something big at the trade deadline. My only issue there was he should’ve put his eggs in another basket.. not going after an interdivision WR. BUT …really glad they seem to have finally moved on from Samuel. Let’s hope Cooks provides more than his lackluster efforts. I have hope Brady and the passing offense can turn it around. I suspect we’ll know after 2 weeks. Bengals and Pats will be tough to beat without more of a passing offense… I think.

I thought the same about thing. When they took over with 10mins left, I thought… just get a couple first downs take half the time off before you punt. Do that and the game is all but over. Then they went in an epic drive, drained almost the entire quarter, and kicked a FG. It was a such a beautiful thing to watch.

Totally agree. It was awesome on every level. 2 points: 1. I recall Bishop coming up limping late in the game. It’ll be worth watchin to see if he pops on the injury report on Wednesday. 2. I loved the run heavy game plan, especially in the conditions yesterday. But he needs to be able to adjust and switch up the game plan better during a game. Because teams WILL be able to contain the running game. It’s happened this season. So for as good as he was this week, let’s see if he can keep it going with a more creative passing attack, as well.

This year, yes. But in roughly the same time frame as McBeane have been here, they’ve won 2 Superbowls (2018 & 2025) with 2 very different QBs, Coaches, teams.

For all those hoping for or thinking Beane will be replaced this offseason, they’re going to be pissed when he and McD are still here. But, I agree with this. Much like Brady needs to grow up and make adjustments to the offense because teams have figured out our pedestrian route schemes and personnel tendencies… Beane and McD have been here long enough that they needs to adjust. They came with a plan and a process to turn the culture of this team around. And they did! Now, they need to reassess and look at teams like the Rams and Eagles and develop a plan to retool and get over the hump. I feel like they’ve gotten to perennial playoff team mode, and think they can just stay here and get lucky one year. That may work for a year, but it’s been several years of just hanging on and hoping for a break. It’s time to do something more like the Rams. For now, I hope they all sat around eating turkey and collectively thought… OK time to wake up and play with focus and intensity. It’s not the playoffs, yet. But the teams they’re playing, starting last week, are playing like it. And the Bills need to match that level of play before it’s too late.

I was really hoping for an AFCCG win in the stadium… and then watching the complete fandemonium as people rushed the field and destroyed the stadium, carrying it out piece by piece while singing we’re goin to the Super Bowl. Oh well.. silly dreams.

Thoughts? The FO office needs to hire new scouts that know what to look for in WRs. Brady needs to watch film of other NFL teams' offenses to figure out how to design routes for them. Does Samuels use all his down time buddying up to McD and Beane, because I can't figure out why he's still on the team.

I truly hope you’re right! But I been waiting since week 5 for the Pats to lose a game.. and they keep finding ways and do just enough to win.

Can’t agree with this enough. Although I think we pretty much need to win out… this game is extremely important. With the division title pretty much out of reach now (unless the Pats just completely fall apart), we have to keep pa e with potential wild card teams, and a head to head win is big.

So posters can’t reference a season from 4 years ago to make a point, but you can reference a QB that played nearly 40years ago to make yours? I guess all that matters is the bills suck, and you’re here to tell us you’re right?
