The front office really needs a smack in the back of the head. So many absolutely wasted picks on defense over the years and only a single attempt to bring in a playmaker on the outside. And that attempt has been a massive bust save for about 1 game and a couple plays here and there. Why rely on trading for a guy? Why not have your scouts do their job and have the GM address the glaring hole on this team? I see teams across the NFL that have not 1 but 2 (!) high level receivers on their rosters and all we can muster is a couple slot guys and a deep threat that's never won a foot race in his life? At this point it really is a joke.

McDaniel alluded to it coming out of the locker room in the 2nd half. Miami played the run and dared us to beat them downfield and we could not do it. We were unprepared for it. This is what happens when you play a team with nothing to lose. If we beat them deep well that would be the expected outcome no harm, no foul on McDaniel's part, they are 2-7. But if it works (like it did) well then he looks like a genius and the Bills drag their sorry asses back to Buffalo with their tails between their legs.

If he turns his head around that's most likely a PBU. Ridiculous closing speed from the kid. There's never been a corner in the history of football that hasn't given up a big play so if that's the standard you're going to complain no matter what.

We'll see how the Phins game goes if Cook doesn't play.

Why? I was including him.

I will not give Kentucky credit when the Gators have to play them this weekend. But yes, they have produced three great Bills players.

Hairston is going to be the key to this season. Watching some of the all 22 reviews, he's been a stud the first two games he's played. You were seeing Mahomes get hit and sacked because for once, the backend was holding up. It wasn't just Tre White 2 yards behind the receiver for 60 minutes.

The only team I'm scared of in the playoffs is the Bills. We are our own worst enemy.

Max Hairston might just be a good one guys and gals.

Elijah Moore is the guy you are describing. Again, it is up to Brady to make the adjustments to get a guy like Moore involved.

Per my first post, I agree. I think Brady's general scheme is great but we need to start looking at specifically getting certain guys involved.

Watched Joe during his run at LSU and a lot in the NFL. Joe Burrow is elite in the way QBs used to be. Anticipation, arm strength, extending plays, reading defenses, he's near the top in all categories. I think you also seem to forget that Flacco has a ring, the guy was and (sometimes) still is, elite. Joe's downfall is a fairly poor offensive line and his willingness to stay in the pocket to create the big play backfires on him. If Cinci's line looked like Buffalo's you would not be making this post.

Because we were focusing on Shakir, Kincaid and Cook. We haven't been doing that to the extent we did against KC. I would love to see Moore be more involved and I think if the offense stays on this trajectory, he will be just from the coverage leaving him more 1 on 1 opportunities down field.

Having a real playmaker on the outside makes the offense better in critical moments. I don't think that this is a point anyone should be arguing against. I will say however, that a lot of the passing game "issues" lie within the scheme and the play calling. We have playmakers. Shakir finished 2nd in yards of separation last year and is currently 6th in the league. And we know how lethal he can be once the ball is in his hands. We have Kincaid who is 1st in yards after catch amongst tight ends, Allen's passer rating is 158.1 when throwing to him. And we have Cook, who really needs to see more usage in the passing game. He was considered an elite pass catcher with high level route running. He was Georgia's 4th leading receiver, which considering he was splitting time with 3 to 4 other running backs, was impressive coming out of college. And frankly, any time he touches the ball, it's good for the team. I am fairly confident in my assessment of the offense because the Chiefs game we saw significantly more emphasis on Shakir, Kincaid and Cook. And the offense looked arguably the best it had all season. Going forward, this is the formula. The "everybody eats" mantra was cute and a way to take a shot at Diggs, but in reality, the ball needs to be put in the real playmakers hands. Only then do things start to open up for other guys as the defense is forced to adjust to stop the bleeding, so to speak.

I was responding to someone else, may want to clarify with them.
