We’re going to have one player on the roster from Beane’s 2018 draft in the roster to start 2023.I am not sure that’s “throwing under the bus”.
Wtf. Taron Johnson says hello.

Giving up an average of 148 yards per game is not an issue? Sorry, and no disrespect, but pointing out the QB's got yards is not an excuse. I don't care who is running the ball, the point is they ran the ball and extended drives frequently against. We are talking about teams who were 16th, 16th and 28th in the league in rushing the last 3 years...those rankings include everyones rushing yards, including the QB.
What excuses are being made against Cincy...ranked 28th in the league and missing 3 starting OL?
The point is, why are these teams having more success against Frazier running the ball as a whole than they did all season? Why do we have to keep searching for ways to make excuses for Fraziers defense failing in so many ways in these playoff losses?
And honestly, there should be even less excuse to let the QB run the ball on us given we have to defend Allen every day in practice and showed success defending someone much more dangerous as Lamar.
IMHO, he doesn't get a pass on allowing an average of 148 yards a game these past 4 playoff exits.
Yeah, no. Lamar is far easier to control running the ball because of how limited he is throwing the ball. Much harder to stop Mahomes from running while trying to cover the best TE in football and the fastest WR. Hope you weren't serious with this post, it's bad. Faaaar more concerned with our pass defense in the playoffs than our rush defense.

May as well go after their 11 draft picks this year too, they seem to hit on most of theirs
Do they? If people here think Buffalo uses alot of draft capital on defense they should look at what KC has used in the last 5 years.
2022 Draft
Round 1 21st pick CB
Round 1, 30th pick DE
Round 2, 62nd pick S
Round 3, 103rd pick LB
Round 4, 135th pick CB
Round 7, 243rd pick CB
Round 7, 259th pick S
7 of their 10 picks went to defense, including (2) 1sts and 5 in the first 4 rounds.
2 out of their first 3 picks in 2021 went to defense, including their top pick.
4 of their 6 picks in 2020 went to defense.
3 of their 6 picks, including their 2nd, 3rd & 4th picks in 2019 went to defense.
5 of the 6 picks, including their first 5, in 2018.
That's 21 of their last 34 picks, including a majority of their picks in the 1st 4 Rounds went to defense. Shouldn't they be alot better than they are on defense if they hit on most of their picks?

Posted this in another thread and thought I would add it here as well.
Here is Leslie Fraziers run defense in our last 4 consecutive playoff losses:
182 yards - Houston was 9th in rushing
114 yards - Chiefs were 16th in rushing
141 yards - Chiefs were again 16th in rushing
155 yards - Bengals were 28th in rushing and missing 3 starting OL
Average: 148 yards - Average rank of the rushing offenses: 17th
None of these teams were a great rushing team, the highest ranked team was 9th by Houston because of Watson. The rest were 16th - 28th in the NFL in rushing just gashing us. And when you look at the last couple of years after investing so heavy into the DL, especially where we fielded the #1 and #2 ranked defenses in the league, it's even more concerning. Then this year gets even worse considering Cincy was missing 3 starting OL in that game and it was at home in bad weather where our team allegedly is supposed to have an advantage.
Aside from the Cincy loss the others were not because the Bills were getting run over by the rbs. Against the Texans and last year against the Chiefs the leading rushers were the QBs for their teams. The first Chiefs game wr Hardman had a 50 yard run out of the 114 rushing yards surrendered. The Chiefs rbs had 19 carries for 59 yards(~3.0 ypc) in that game. I wouldn't fault other defenses for failing to keep our running game in check if it was being led by Josh and a wr in 3 out of the 4 games.

Trevor Lawrence is not a better quarterback than Josh Allen
Not on any day not on any week
9 lost fumbles by Trevor this year and he's not even a running QB. That's the 2nd most by any player since at least 2006. I say at least because that's where the website cutoff.

I hope allen can find a way back to top 3 🙏
Anyone who thinks that's a legit question is watching way too much espn
I agree, he's better than Burrow, but alot people outside of Buffalo don't feel that way.🤷♂️

Had Josh Allen as 5 going into 23. Guys like him and Wright are a bit much but they do have some points. With some O line help and one more WR, I could see him getting back up to top three.
He's already top 3, despite what the blowhard says. The question is he #2 or #3. With OL & WR help in the offseason the question would become is he #1 or #2 imo.

I hope your contention that Anarumo has aged out and will remain DC of the Bengals for years to come is incorrect.
Anarumo is a really great defensive play caller, I hate going against him, and I wish he would've moved to the NFC.
I have never spoken to Anarumo or Gannon about leading a football team, and I have no idea what their bona fides are in that department. I DO know that if I were choosing between the two based solely on their respective performances as defensive coordinators, I'd pick Anarumo in a landslide.I agree. In the last 2 postseasons(7 games) his defense has given up only 18.8 ppg and never more than 24 points in the playoffs. Played at KC twice and at Buffalo once and gave up an average of 19 points in those games. The Cardinals made yet another head scratching decision.

My hope is 3 OL & 1 WR in the first 4 rounds. What order doesn't really matter as long as we get great value. And yes very soon we're going to have to target a 1st rounder to transition into Stefon's spot.
I would like to see WR in the 1st, if there is someone worth taking in our slot. Then at least the next 2 picks for OL, preferably a RG & RT. Moving Bates back to LG or finding a FA who can replace him and have Bates our #1 reserve.

Yeah I was pretty pissed. Oh well as other more level headed posters accurately said you gotta just stop, breathe and realize life is too short. Josh is going to get us one. Just gotta wait for everything to line up.
I agree. Even the mighty Brady & Belichick duo once went a decade in between Super Bowl wins. Now they did already have 3 to cushion the blow, but I guarantee Pats fans were saying alot of the same things as they kept failing to get #4 year after year. They went on to win 3 out of the next 5 after that. I bring that up just to show that even the all-time greats need things to fall just right, in order to win it all.

Trust me we all would prefer an easier schedule but we have no control. We need a calmer year with less drama and injuries. Playoff teams like Tampa, NYG, LAC, and Dallas don't terrify me. The bottom line is Josh needs to be able to play under less stress and duress. Beane better have an amazing off season.
I can tell by your post that you are starting to calm down from the Cincy loss. That's good to see, good to have you back LA.🙂

About right. The afce has to face the nfce. I think I saw 10 of our games are against playoff teams. We're not winning 13 this year. But we will be battle tested.
We were battle tested this year and what'd that get us? A defense that had half its starters injured and a tired team come playoff time. No thanks. Give me an easy schedule like 2021. They can meander through the regular season like they did that year and be fresh as a daisy come playoff time and almost completely healthy. Once you have an experienced team, especially at QB, that has been in some big games being battle tested is overrated imo.

Josh explained how it went down on the Pat Mcafee show. Doctors wanted him out 2-4 weeks. As he put it....I had other thoughts and said give me the prp shot right now, I won't throw until Saturday and we'll see how it feels then. It sounds to me like it was his call or he had a major say in it. Elbow talk starts at 1:20.

LMAO, I remember that game. How many other QBs aren't flat on their back with at least 3 guys on top of him if that happens to them?
I don't think there's another QB quick enough to get away from the initial rush, then strong enough to fight them all off. He's the ultimate weapon of size, speed, power and maybe the strongest arm ever.
He just needs some help on offense and Dorsey needs to step his game way up. Daboll had a **** ton of experience overall and in big moments for Josh to draw upon, Dorsey doesn't. I think that's what Josh is missing more. Daboll was more like a Dad where as Dorsey's more like an older brother.

Yeah, this guy must be talking about an Aaron Donald that feasts on immobile QBs because Josh certainly hasn't had an issue with him and that's with our less-than-stellar OL.
I think it's a miracle that Josh only takes the amount of sacks he does given how bad the line looks at times.
You put a pure pocket passes behind our line and he probably gets sacked 50 times this season at a minimum. Saffold was good for at least a couple turn styles a game.
An immobile QB in this scheme, behind this oline gets sacked 70 times lol, minimum. That's just over 4 a game. And yes Josh was running for his life in the 1st Rams games in 2020. That's the game where he got a 15 yard facemask called on him as he was throwing 3 different defenders off him

But look at who you are quoting. The details don’t matter as long as he sticks to his narrative. We rolled the dice, and we lost big time when Von got hurt. If he’s there to put pressure on Burrow, we may have had a very different game. Sometimes that’s just how it turns out. When you take a big swing there is always risk.
Pull a miracle fixing the OL and get Josh another weapon or two. It sounds daunting, but we are still one of the best teams in the league. Nail it on a handful of new contributors on offense and this can be a very dangerous team.
Either 2 OL, 1 WR or 2 WRs, 1 OL in the 1st 3 rounds. I would prefer to go WR in the 1st and address OL in rounds 2 & 3. Unless one of the OL in the first falls to them.
Von was worth the risk, the defense was alot better because we could get consistent pressure while only rushing 4 guys.

OK and? Not sure what that has to do with anything, but the consensus is that the Bills had a great shot at a title last year if they hadn't brain farted the end of the game away in a game that was all but won.
And I think we sacked Stafford 7 times and picked him off 3. Great showing all around minus the turnovers.
We've actually played against Aaron Donald 2 out of the last 3 years. The offense averaged 33 ppg & Josh was 50/64 608 yards 7 tds, 3 ints. Also rushed for another 64 yards and 2 more tds. 9 total tds in those 2 games. Damn, Aaron who?

We put 31 points up on them with relative ease. It was nothing.
9/10 on 3rd downs & no punts. The 4 turnovers were the only thing that stopped the offense that night.

It’s foolish to think 59% completions in the playoffs is going to get the job done, —> low percentage hero ball.
you can plug your ears, reference loosely correlated stats and scream “are not” all you wish.
Doesn’t change what is an obvious problem…
what kind of loser prays about football management anyway? That’s embarrassing
I'm just thanking God that the loser isn't in charge of the team, there's no harm in that. The most embarrassing thing is basing everything on a game or 2. The 6th best QB Rating in playoffs EVER. Sitting on an island all by your lonesome, like always.
Again don't get me wrong, there's room for improvement, but no where near the top of the problems that need to be addressed with this team. Your biggest problem always seems to be with by far the best player on this team. A team that would be nothing without him. 5 wins maybe if you replaced just him for an average player at his position.
I had fun reading a conversation in a different thread last night about one Ben Roethlisberger and the beatings he took trying to buy time to hit big plays down the field. Seems as though I was having this discussion just a month or so ago with someone who insisted that never happened. Wrong then, wrong now, always wrong.

Bills should have had these same priorities a year ago. Instead, they threw money at a 34 year old defender. I’m not confident the philosophy can change.
Time must work different in your world? Von's not even 34 now, a year after the fact.🤯

Go watch Kurt Warner break down that game.
it’s exactly what I’m talking about
So your original post was about the Cincy game? You dont mention them or even the playoffs in your post. Reads far more like a general statement of what is needed next year. Makes no sense for your #1 move to be based on a single game, you don't believe that's an over reaction?
Especially when the team has improved year in and year out on your supposed big fix. 4th in 3rd down percentage in 2020, 2nd in 2021 and 1st in 2022. But that's what you're going to concentrate on? I'll thank God before bed tonight that you're not running this team. Many more important things to work on, than an area we were the best in the league at, aside from the 1 game. 42% for the Cincy game, while not their best outing, doesn't put it near the top of fixes needed. That's foolish to think that.

We averaged a 1st down every 2.83 plays this year. Last year it was every 2.87 plays. We were also better on 3rd down this year over last year 50.26% vs 46.40% and 4th down 53.85% vs 50.0%. Can't get any better than finishing #1 in 3rd down percentage in the league.
We were worse last year on every level, so my biggest question would be where were all the complaints about this last year?

I agree he was too predictable. I actually hope it's McDermott who call the plays. I think he, as a DC, hehas a better feel of the game than Frazier and when to become more aggressive. I also think we would see adjustments happen earlier in the game.
