It's not a true rebuild, but there definitely needs to be some major changes, starting with the front office shifting its roster building priorities much more heavily toward the offense.

The 'guy running the show' is either McDermott or Beane. If you want to go there, yeah, I agree, there's plenty of blame to go around, particularly in terms of their roster priorities. I've been watching this sh**show for a long damn time now. It's frustrating, because they make the same mistakes on offense over and over and over. They bring in a QB, give him one or two good supporting pieces, slap bandaids on the rest and then expect the QB to hold the mess they've created together. It never works. Ever. Then, when it inevitably underperforms, they stand around wondering what the hell happened, not understanding that they didn't properly invest in their offense.

There were a lot of us who were of the same line of thinking over the last couple of seasons. The level of priority the Bills have placed on defense just isn't in tune with the reality of how the game is played anymore. At this stage, I feel like we're becoming the reincarnation of the 80s Broncos, who wasted a decade of John Elway's career with defensive minded coach who didn't surround him with the talent or scheme that he needed.

Yeah, well, Allen is the main reason this team went 13-3 during the regular season, despite also playing behind a garbage OL and having an injured throwing elbow for 10 games.

I'm not surprised. They went into the season having lost Emmanuel Sanders, Cole Beasley and John Brown compared to that two-year stretch. The replacements didn't step up, and the Bills had to go out and sign Beasley and Brown in November, both of whom were effectively out of the league.

Maybe if he could block for himself, I'd agree, but the Bills just got absolutely annihilated at the LOS on both sides of the ball. That's why they lost this game.

There wasn't much Allen could do. Both lines got their butts handed to them today. On the offensive side, Allen was under siege the entire game and played about as well as you could expect under the circumstances. This loss is squarely on coaching for not having the team prepared to play, especially in the first quarter, as well as the front office for their failures to adequately address the talent around Allen as well as their failed DL additions.

As poorly as they played on D, I take the same stance as I did a year ago. They're going to win or lose depending on Josh Allen, but he needs help. This OL needs a major overhaul and now that the season is over, it's also very clear that they need help at WR2 and WR3 as well. At this point, I think I'd use every single pick on offense.

They've gotten destroyed on both lines.

Here comes the Frazier prevent D.

Agreed.

I said they're capable of it, not guaranteed to do it.

The top offenses are too good these days. You can have the number one D in the league and teams like Cincy and KC are perfectly capable of dropping 35 on them.

Unfortunately, that means the Bills will probably throw more resources at it this off-season and neglect the offense yet again.

You also don't see the Bills DL getting anywhere close to him, much less hitting him during the throw.

Considering how this season went, I'll take 14 INTs in 567 attempts all day long. It could have been a lot worse.

It definitely wasn't his best game, but as many times as they tried it, I have to think it's more on Dorsey's gameplan and play calling than Allen.

I don't think think they are, but if they were, it's due to the fact that the Bills ask him to do too much.

That won't be overturned.

Apparently (and it depends on who you ask), the two sides couldn't come to a contract agreement for ST3.

I don't think he's as bad as he has looked the last few weeks. He's usually not in bad position, he's just not making plays on the ball. The injuries to Hyde, Edmunds and Poyer haven't done him any favors, and it certainly doesn't help, either, that he has faced two of the best WRs in the NFC in the last three weeks. I still think he can be a solid 2nd or 3rd CB, but he's still a young CB and they're asking a lot of him right now. I'm not surprised he's struggling, but I also wouldn't give up on him.

No disagreement. They've been too reliant on Allen to hide their weaknesses the last couple of years. I was afraid that it was eventually going to catch up to them and it has.

Unfortunately, the Bills don't have an offensive line.

Really dirty hit on Diggs at the end.

Reasonable decision. It was a tight throw, but I thought Davis had a step on the corner when he broke his route off (which is also when Allen threw it). I just think Allen was expecting Davis to run his route along the goal line or just short of it rather than drifting five yards deep into the end zone. I don't know whether that's on Allen or Davis, but it just looks like a case of miscommunication to me.
