I don't think Isabella is going to replace anyone. My guess is we are going with a ton of 11 personnel tonight so they just want the extra WR. But we'll see.

Isabella is brought up in place of Knox is my guess.  One pass catcher for another although different positions.

[Is Gabe Davis a trade candidate?]

I don't think Beane trades him.  I believe it's the Edmunds situation again.  He leaves via free agency and Bills get a comp pick.  Free agent market for WRs has gone crazy the last few years.  Could be a decent pick.  

[Would McDermott Fire Dorsey If We Fail Thursday?]

I don't think Dorsey will get fired during the rest of this season.  If things don't markedly improve, I could see McD make a change in the off-season.

I'm down on Knox too but losing him is a huge blow. People who think we will be better are crazy. Knox is the most athletic TE the Bills have probably ever had.  Kincaid is in no way capable of being TE#1 now and maybe never. 

That said this is an opportunity to go air raid and just use the run to keep teams honest.  If they want to run they will need to use Bates as a blocking TE.

They've been using David Edwards

Trent Dilfer won a super bowl,  is he better than Allen?  Grow up!

Dude all I said was I think Mahomes is a better QB than Allen.  That's my opinion.  You disagree.  Fine.  

[Shakir needs to be given some of Gabe’s snaps…prove me wrong]

Need to do something different on offense.  Run 11 personnel more and see if they can get production from another receiver besides Diggs.

No way you know that.  Sorry,  you're just not qualified. 

Mahomes 3 Super Bowl appearances and 2 Championships.  Allen hasn't won an AFC Championship yet.  I can read.  That's my qualification.

This team is regressing. They are now struggling to beat bad teams with bad QB's

 

Correcting issues isn't something veteran teams that are supposed to be contenders are typically doing 

 

You're nuts if you think we are beating any team with a real coaching staff and a QB at this point. Playoffs are a longhsot at this point

I'm just looking for the next win.  Whenever that is.

im more upset that a man in his late 50s threw beer cans at me when the game ended as security watched and did noting...

Sorry to hear that.  I hope he missed.

Dorsey 

 

McD definitely didn’t have his best game plan today but Dorsey was TERRIBLE again. ffs let Josh run

Sorry you had to see that ***** show in person

I disagree with everything except Kelce and we have a better DL.

Mahomes is better than Allen.  Sorry truth hurts.  He sees the field better than Allen.

It wasn’t that long ago that Reid was considered a playoff choker. He gets mahomes and next thing you know he’s one of the greatest coaches ever.

McNabb was a knucklehead.  Mahomes way better QB.

Chiefs D plays hard.  They are better than what Buffalo has left on D.  Zero chance Mac Jones has a walk off drive like that vs KC.  

Their DC is legit

I think our rosters are pretty evenly matched but yeah coaching is clearly in different tiers. No matter how you slice it, though, we have clearly underperformed compared to the Chiefs against common opponents. That was all I was trying to get through the other poster's thick skull.

Coaching is the biggest difference imo.  

[Watching the Chiefs game. Bills no where near them.]

12 minutes ago, White Linen said:

 

They do not have a better roster and have had worse and still win.  

I hate to say it but they have a better roster.  Better QB, better OL, better TE, RB push, WR Bills basically Diggs, better CBs, LB push, DL Bills but Chris Jones can line up inside and out causing matchup problems.  Special Teams push.  

[Where was our defensive line today?]

When it comes to spending money in FA, Beane has a history of being wrong far more than he is right. 
 

People talk about us being a deep team until it’s time for that depth to actually play. Then we see how bad they can be. 

What's bad too is, just like the Bengals playoff game, the opposing OL had injuries but outplayed the Bills DL.

Chiefs 17 Jaguars 9

Bills 20 Jaguars 25

Bills 16 Jets 22

 

Chiefs 40 opponents 29

Bills 36 opponents 47

 

Chiefs 2-0

Bills 0-2

 

Are you keeping up yet?

Yeah.  I'm keeping up.  The Chiefs have a better coach and a better roster.  Therefore 2 - 0.

So what you’re saying is the Bills aren’t in the Detroit Lions class who beat the Chiefs and just lost 38-6 tot he ravens 

The way the Bills have played the last 3 weeks, I'm not sure where they belong.  They beat the crap out of the Raiders and Washington who are both bad.  They somehow played a flawless game against the Fish although that's when the injuries to the defense started.  Ever since, it's been bad.  I'm afraid it's going to get worse too.  The schedule gets tougher, not easier and we look truly out of sorts on offense.  Can't play 30 minutes of offense and expect to win.

Trade Diggs for 2 first round picks. Fire Dorsey. Tell Sean anything less than AFC Championship game nextvy wr & your done. Rebuild now. This season is over. This offense sucks.

 

OR

 

I'm overly emotional about the loss.

 

I was overly emotional after Jagoffs loss because I was afraid losing Milano and Jones along with White previous week ended our chance of seriously competing for SB this season.  That said, the Bills didn't play a 60 minute game once again, got outcoached again, and looked bad for too long again.  Just terrible football yet again.

[Never thought I’d say this. Sean McDermott is a stupid coach.]

17 minutes ago, PayDaBill$ said:

When a team comes out repeatedly flat especially against bad teams I blame the staff. 

I thought the offense would start off fast today because of 2 previous bad games.  I was wrong.  Not sure who to blame exactly but usually a coach gets canned because it's the easier option.  I'm not proposing anything right now but it's not looking good. 

 

Quite frankly, they don't have one good reason to look this bad.  No one on offense is hurt.  Not one guy.  Defense is a different story.  Their best CB, their best LB, and their best run stopping DT all out but they should not have lost to Pats today.  Pats have a bunch of guys hurt too.  A terrible loss today.  Gotta to hand it to McD - he loses games in mind numbing fawkin ways.

[Kincaid was really good today]

22 minutes ago, ALLinALLEN said:

He was really good. Love the people that want to trade Knox....like he'd have any value outside of a 5th round pick (maybe). Nobody wants a 15 mil cap hit for a guy with stone hands.

I think Knox is allergic to leather

Did you hear me say the Offense looked great today? No, I didn't think so.

 

Even still, we put up 25. On a bad day. But our Defense being in the shape it's in, gave up 29 against a 1-5 team. To me, that's the bigger issue long term.

 

The offense has the players to bounce back. On Defense, I think it just is what it is.

Did you hear me?  I said the offense played like crap for 3 straight games.

We lost our best player on 3 levels of our Defense. Daquan Jones on Interior, Matt Milano at Linebacker, and Tre White at Corner. 

 

Even when we're completely healthy with what we have available (which didn't happen today and won't happen often) - it's just too much to overcome and expect to be a serious Contender.

No one on offense is hurt and they've played like crap for 3 straight games.  Come on now.  Quit making excuses for these guys.

Need to start playing 60 minute games.  Just terrible football.
