Yeah both of these guys are better then any WRs the bills have had in forever. People are being greedy acting like we need a real #1 and complaining about the 3rd guy. WR is not the issue at all with this offense. The qb needs to be more accurate, the #2 RB cannot be Gore, the play calling is very frustrating, the game day inactives are puzzling and we need a TE that can be a consistent option in the passing game. Those are the issues. Not the WRs. Brown and Beasley are excellent.
We do need a real #1 WR. But as much as we need a big bodied true #1 WR, we need to shore of the book ends on the OLine more to protect Josh better first. We will also need some key Defensive additions since Lorenzo (36) is getting on in years as well as Hughes (31). I agree about Gore. It's great that he got his yards and all to make it to #3 (i think) all time in yardage but he is not that good anymore. I thought it was a huge mistake releasing McCoy instead of Gore.
I know many have been ready to riot to get Duke in the line up but I really don't think he is the answer either. He's tall yes and he runs very good routes (as it has been told) but clearly he is missing something if the coaches are not putting him in the starting line up so I am not sure what confuses you in the inactives. Kroft missed a lot of time early on and Knox is a rookie. Come next year, i think we will be just fine with these 2 as our starting TE's. With only Brown and Beasley as reliable WR's, I'm not sure how you can think that the WR position is NOT an issue. There is no depth at all beyond them. Foster is clearly un-reliable otherwise he would get more playing time. I am already made my point on Duke. Who else on this team do you think are as good and as reliable as Brown or Beasley?

I don’t see any advantage to doing this before the season is over. I mean, why now?
I wouldn't be surprised if he figured they were going to give him the ax at the end of the season and asked them to do it now. The guy was already retired and had been enjoying his free time with his grand-kids before the Jags brought him in.

My favorite line from one of the other idiots: "If Duck Hodges hadn't thrown all those interceptions, he would have had a better day than Allen" LMFAO...
I was laughing at this comment myself thinking "yeah, and if my Uncle had a *****; he would be my Aunt". It has to be the dumbest comment I have heard on sports talk TV in a long a$$ time.

Sorry but I don't see it with this team still getting a lot of hate from powers that be in the league. If i were a betting man (which I'm not) i would say two prime time games at the most. A Thursday night home game and one Monday night away game where we will have to play either the Chiefs or more likely the Seahawks.

For the Chiefs game I heard from various outlets that the ground crew in Providence "forgot" to unload all the teams uniforms and equipment and the plane had to be recalled from Newark to get the rest of the equipment before game time. Many of the players had to scramble and rush to get dressed for the game and a lot of pre-game activity was disrupted. More BS..
This is actually in correct, and I am not defending the Cheatriots. They were not able to unload the gear because there was HS football being played at the stadium that weekend including Sunday morning and the locker room was not available so they couldn't unload the gear. That detail was forgotten by the plane staff when it left. Now as to why there was HS football being played so late in the year at an NFL stadium... particularly the Cheatriots is a whole other story of "convenience".

My friend is a Steelers fan and wants Tomlin fired. I told him hes an idiot
Totally agree Cap! Anyone who says Tomlin needs to get fired is a complete idiot and knows nothing about football.

I'll be watching from the couch. I hope to see Red and Blue all over that stadium. Make it look like a home game. It's just a great feeling seeing our fans having a better turnout than the home team.
It will be tough to make that stadium look like a Bills home game. Steeler Nation are just as die hard of fans and Buffalo Bills fans and usually fill their stadium pretty well. It will definitely be a tough game no matter who is in that stands though. Tomlin may just be up for coach of the year considering what he has been able to do with his team with all their injuries....three different QB's, one of which is a third stringer.
Edit: Oh, and I'll be watching from the couch as well.
Go Bills!!!

ban Belichick for a year. That should get the message across
Should be a lifetime ban and Kraft should get the same punishment along with a hefty fine and a loss of a few 1st round draft picks.

As an aside, I'm really put off by this narrative of "if the Bills beat Baltimore, they will be taken seriously/"
WTF!?! NOONE HAS BEATEN BALTIMORE IN TWO MONTHS !!! Why the hell is that our threshold for respectability??
Because that is unfortunately the threshold of the standard we will be held to because we are the Buffalo Bills. No so called "expert" will take us seriously unless we beat the best team in the league. which is ridiculous. We should have beat the Patsies before they knocked JA out the game. Had that happened it would have been called a fluke or it would have been said that the Patriots weren't as strong as everyone thought they were and that Marcia is falling off. It will be the same narrative when we beat the Ravens.

Damn, Bruce was such a beast!
We should clone him, just sayin,
I met him at a tech conference last year where he was a guest speaker at the end to talk about the glory days. Except for his age, that guy is STILL a beast and looks like he could still play.

Wow, so you think they'd give him a ring if we win it all this year. Interesting take. I personally don't think they could and I'm not sure he'd accept.
Why couldn't they? The Eagles did it with Dorenbos. He was no longer on the roster when they won it. He had been given a medical settlement or something along those lines. He was a guest of the owner to watch the game in his suite. So if the eagles can do it why can't Buffalo? As for if he would accept, that is an entirely different story and quite possible. But if the team offers it to him making him understand how important he was to getting to where they are, i think he might.

Did you read my post?
Of course. I was just saying (in a long winded way i guess) that I am sure the org knows how important he was in getting them there that if they did get a ring they would include him in that. I mean, I say "i am sure" but it's more of a belief that they would rather than a certainty.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he and McDermott have each other on speed dial should we need some depth/injury coverage in the DL for the postseason. He still looks like he’s ready to play tomorrow if the call came in.
if we needed him desperately, he answers that call 100% of the time.
Sorry but that's a no go. It's too late in the season and he has already submitted his retirement paperwork. He would have to refile un-retirement paperwork to be able to sign again with anyone. Not that he would sign with anyone but the Bills most likely....if he did for some reason un-retire.
15 hours ago, White Linen said:Damn Kyle, I wish you could have been a part of our best start in 20 years and a good season? I can't get there.
I'd feel bad for Kyle if we win the super bowl - I'd obviously wish he could be part of that.
Don't feel to badly for him. The Pegula's, Bean, and McDermott know exactly how important Kyle has been in building this team to what it currently is and they know how valuable he can and will be as a spokes-person for the community to set an example of how important this team is to the community. Rest assured, when the day comes, after our SB win, he will get the credit due and the ring.

This exactly!!

I 100% agree with you on Aaron Schobel. I always though he got shafted. Was an elite DE on some really crappy Bills teams. Got tired of putting in 110% and watching the rest of the team around him suck the big one, which is why he retired early. Have to disagree with you on Spikes though. He didn't play here long enough.

Watching the Ravens/49ers game, two of the best teams in the league, gave me the confidence that the Bills are FINALLY one of the NFLs top teams! So, while we are capable of beating Baltimore next week, do we want to?? Hear me out.....
Beating the Ravens gives them 3 losses. Patriots are the first seed with 1. Bills would still have the 5th seed for the playoffs, whether we win or lose.
When -WHEN - the Bills beat the cheaters in 3 weeks, they will have two losses, and lose the tie breaker with Baltimore for the #1 seed in the playoffs. This is HUGE.
We want NE to miss the Super Bowl or else they will tie the Bills amazing record of 4 straight SBs!!!!!!!!
The Pats would then have to play Kansas City (most likely) in the second round of the playoffs. That's a much harder game than say, Houston or the Steelers. For the AFC championship game, they would then, maybe, travel to Baltimore, rather being guaranteed home field advantage, where those cheaters have an unbelievable win record.
The Bills on the other hand, will likely meet the Ravens in the second round of the playoffs. It's hard to beat a good team twice. We can use this first game as a learning experience, and not show our hand, even setting the Ravens up for our second meeting.
Now that's some 5 dimension chess right there!!!
What moron would actually think it best to lose any of their remaining games? The only reason I actually opened this post was just to see how dumb the post was. you don't EVER.... EVER..... EVER WANT to lose any of your games. They win out, take the division (maybe) if the cards fall right and you shoot for the bye week and home field advantage when playing the teams with the lesser records.
Wanting to lose a game is like wanting to cut out your eyes because you don't have perfect vision. Congrats on winning this years dumbest post of the year award.

I'm saying it now, Lamar and Roman are going to struggle heavily with our back 7.
Look, I'm not going to take anything away from Lamar right now but once their scheme is figured out, ala vs SD Wildcard weekend last year , I don't see him being able to recover from that and I'm certain our defensive personnel is their kryptonite.
That's when you'll see Poyer/Hyde/Tre/Edmunds/Milano at their best, our back 7 is phenomenal and after we handle them at home , they'll be praying they don't cross our paths in the playoffs. We have the personnel to shut them down on a consistent basis.
And like alot of Bills fans , I'm taking the Lamar love and Josh snub a little personal. I think we have the superior QB , I think when the 4th quarter hits and we wrecked Lamars running ability, he's going to FOLD like a lounge chair and I truly believe Allen is going to rise. I respect Baltimore heavily but I truly think Buffalo is their antedote. We are built to shut them down. And if the offense keeps progressing to the level I think it's capable of, sky is the limit.
SB or Bust, ya I said it!!!
I'm guessing that you're probably one of the #BillsMafia group members on Facebook that says that Lamar is not a real QB and that he can't read a defense. I can honestly say that your brain is mush if you think either of those things. You don't give that young man the credit he deserves. He is an excellent "option" offense quarterback. He has the skill set to excel with that formation. What you fail to see (out of ignorance or just plain blind) is that he is nearly equal capable being a pocket passer as well. It is true and I will agree that one day soon someone will figure out their offensive scheme and make things tougher for them on offense and i certainly hope it's the Bills and their staff that does it, but to think they will fold like a lounge chair is absolutely ridiculous. Stating such nonsense just plain makes you look stupid.

I don’t think his job has changed much from last season.
You may be right, but we don't know anything for sure. Maybe he is having a down year or just maybe he is being asked to do something different this year. again, we just don't know.

I remember the 8-0 snow game where Moorman had a snap go flying over his head and he kicked it out the back of the end zone for a safety. First 8-0 game in the NFL since something like 1927.
I remember the 6-3 game where Derek Anderson won the game for the Browns by completing 2 passes all afternoon for all of 23 yards. Bleacher Report called that the "worst game ever" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/270428-worst-game-ever-buffalo-vs-cleveland-review
Weird stuff happens against the Browns. I'm already losing sleep over it.
I was thinking about this on my drive into work today. This game scares me a bit. Like you said, weird $**t seems to happen when we play them, and they always play us tough.

Jerry Hughes is not a "very good" player. He's had one season of 10 sacks. A DE getting about 5 sacks per year is not a "very good" player. At least he isn't getting stupid penalties any more. I agree with OP. His contract is insane and he is invisible on the field. His only really successful years were when he also had Mario, Kyle, and Marcel (who was good at the time) taking much of the blocking. He was 4th best of those guys during those years.
27 minutes ago, Socal-805 said:I have watched, hear, and read multiple times how the Bills defense gets very little pressure and almost no sacks from either D end position: Hughes and Edwards COMBINED
have like 3 sacks, and the Bills have been playing a powder puff schedule. They have also been giving up large number in the rush defense area.
many of you including the OP are forgetting you all have no idea what is being asked of them on any given play. Yes, a DE's job is to create pressure and get sacks but if he is getting asked to fill a gap or seal an edge his job isn't to go full tilt towards the QB. In obvious pass plays, yes he is probably being told to do that, but unless you are right there in the coaches and player meetings none of us know for certain what his job is each play.

This team finished 9-7, 8-8 & 7-9 the prior three years to Coach McD & we've been forced fed the process in 2017 & on..... Yep 5-2, with a cupcake schedule and still we hear particularly on here about the Process.....
Sorry I want more & hope that is the sentiment of most fans & ownership.
So the team has started to make it's turn around and has a winning record and you're complaining? In his first year coach McD led this team to a winning record while unloading some very expensive "talent" and backed us into the playoffs with some help from Dalton, takes the necessary step backwards last year to make the big step forward for this year and the future. What most people call progress, and you B word and moan like a silly school girl on her period. smh.

Lets not throw out blanket statements. If you look at some highlights Josh DOES have pocket presence. He will step up into the pocket and he can escape from the pocket.
Edit - Name 1 QB that has not been sacked from his blind side / Edit
Again I must remind people that Jim Schwartz is NOT some hack.
I didn't say he has no pocket presence. I said he needs to get better at it..... and he will. He is still young and barely has a full season of games under his belt. Agreed Schwarts is no hack and is probably one of the best DC's there is currently in the NFL.
Like I said in a few different forums, Josh is not our biggest problem. Feliciano is a huge problem right now. His penalties are untimely drive killers and they happen WAY to often. The O-line struggles at times and Josh tries to do to much and ends up getting into trouble. Throwing a pick or getting sacked and fumbling the ball. A lot of people are crying that the sky is falling when we are 5-2 and it's not. This team is searching for its identity. They are a solid team with some key components that are still missing to take that next step from solid\good to great\elite.
The important thing is we are progressing as a team....getting better (having a better record....so far). They do everything as a team, there are no individuals. I think that if they picked up a few more key players for the offense before the trade deadline, we could potentially be steam rolling into the post season. A Top # 1 receiver and top tier RG to replace Feliciano and this team could be great.
Edelman admits faking head injury in Bills game

As much as you want to say people sound like a bunch of whiney kids, people are sick of all of the BS the cheatriots commit to. The OP is rightfully pointing out that his caviler attitude and the manner in which he acted points to a systemic issue throughout the entire organization that it is okay to "cheat" or fake injury or whatever they need to do to win. So either you are a Cheatriot fan and are okay with their tactics, or you are a blind, dumb and ignorant Bills fan that should leave and go join a Cheatriot fan page.
