I think Allen is more concerned with being well liked than being a true leader of men.

He sat Cook for more than a quarter after the fumble. Cook WAS THE ONLY BILLS PLAYER TONIGHT. Did they think they were good enough to punish Cook and not lose a step on the field. Didn’t bench Davis. Didn’t bench Allen. Just Cook.

The 49ers are definitely hitting the steroids the hardest this season. Every year, there’s a team that gets the good ***** and commits to going for the kill. Seeing these teams in person helps you realize they look a little different. Bigger, bulkier, more cut, muscles from head to toe (only roids guys have enough in the tank to do leg sessions). Even when the walk, they look like they just lifted. Looking at you, freak body Greenlaw.

Whoever wants to trade JA17 for picks, I’m not going out of my way to be in his collectorate. I don’t think he’s a WR2, so I wouldn’t be trading that. The Jets obviously made some moves to sure up the WR room. They were in the market. Maybe there’s a deal there that made sense to but teams..? I’m fine trading Davis to the Jets. I predicted they’d implode, and I don’t think highly of Davis as a WR. Again, trading him pre draft was the best time, most value. But kicking tires for a deadline deal should have been done too. Those files are secret. Sometimes the team that has the player can seek out a trading partner.

I mean.. our WR2 is a decoy and blocker?? What kind of offense is that?!

The Raven’s grass field is fantastic. There’s not so much as a grass stain on any white in either teams’ uniforms. I want one.

My reasoning is that first, as everything stands now, trading Davis was the correct thing to do. Then I go back and remember how I thought about things when the off season started. I wasn’t high on, or even slightly stoned about, Davis becoming a WR2. Sure he was a starter on the roster. Fine. And a became captain (which I peg as a joke move). But teams have to take risks. And this was a risk that made a lot of sense. I’m not sure what we’re saying here. -We would only get a 5th or 6th for Davis so why trade him? -Why trade a starter? Which is it? Surely, now, you’d agree that if given a 3rd before the draft, we should have done it; or, given a 3rd at the trade deadline, we should’ve done it. It’d be a tough pill to swallow post draft - preseason, unless we drafted the Ohio St. WR in the 1st. It’s like we’re saying we’d never get a 3rd for this guy, but if we were offered, then yes. But at the same time, saying, Why would we trade a starter..? Nowhere did I say we should’ve taken less than a 3rd. And I think some team (stupid preferably [the Jets]) could’ve been had. I may be dreaming, but I’ve seen worse deals. Only my opinions. What do I know..

This Trade Gabe scenario includes the off season. All of it. We can’t cherry pick and say Gabe was going to turn into a bonafide WR2, so why would we trade him?— As the season played out, it’s obvious now (to some) that he’s got to go. But I’m sorry, it’s Beane’s job to see this coming. The facts that this was a highly debated issue all off season.. we can’t claim that Beane was blindsided by its development. I actually think he tried to alleviate Davis’s ineffectiveness with Kincaid, Sherfeld, Harty, and the others. If we have a Higgins, no way he spends that much effort on WR. So he knew! And we are going to ride out this contract and get nada. That’s a miss to me. All due respect, but I’m not sure your throw away line about Higgins/Burrow was worth the time you took to type it. But you sure are an angry elf. Come on! Holiday spirit 😊 We’re just talking about football here.

Begs the question. Named a captain?! How on earth does that happen, that this coach gives out that title to (motivate an underperforming player) a player that you think you can will be become a star? At this level of football. Talk about Mickey Mouse.

That’s when you need a 200 spot deep custom draft order preference. Talk about grinding. But you’ll know every single NFL position player alive haha. Given my RBs, Achane and KyWill were obviously on my best when they had they best games. Just hasn’t been a fun run this year.

…finish my team. …and Swift and Bijan. My team is hurting too.

Singletary just scored. Gooo for heem. Stroud is looking like a very nice quarterback.

Was it a minor/major mistake not trading Gabe Davis? Would the Jets have considered him pre-season? Were there teams with playoff/championship aspirations that would’ve added him before the deadline? Not trading him is going to look like a missed opportunity to gain draft capital. When he tests free agency after the season, some stupid team will overpay him, and I don’t blame Davis for taking it. He’s pretty much a nothing player, but if he can finish the year healthy, he’ll piece together a nice little highlight reel that some team will mistakenly sink their teeth in. The Bills could’ve walked away with a 3rd, believe. That seems to be the spot we’re both sides would feel relieved and anxious. The Jets were loading up for a Ring run, and probably running out of draft capital, but I’m sure they would have pulled a 3rd out of their hanger to trade with the Bills. Rodgers was getting his guys in place before he was even acquired, but surely he’d liked what he’s seen from Davis, thinking he can make him better. WR2-WR6 becomes interesting when you add Davis in here. As for the deadline landing spots, take your pick—literally every team could add Davis into that mix. Even the Bengals, who have the best WR corps in the league, they never know when Chase or Higgins or Boyd will miss time with a serious injury, like a hamstring or foot. Claypool went to Miami (along with a 7th) as a new toy for a 6th,,, and Claypool doesn’t have a four touchdown playoff game @ KC to brag about. That was a plain ol’ ‘why not’ move by the Dolphins, but it shows that teams want a deep WR room if offense is the side of the ball they want to boost up. If the Bills don’t value Davis as a 3rd, they probably would have had an easier time dumping him for less. Big miss by not getting something for Davis. He’s gone after this year, and his contributions might be meaningless this year. The Bills targeted WRs like crazy this off season, so they knew life without Davis is near.

I’m going to share my conservative mindset on this one. The devil you know is better than the devil you don’t. McClap has won. I believe that people are dynamic, and I have faith that a person who is lacking will delegate and find a way to get results, and become the guy that gets the right people in the right spots for success. I think this way because I am this way. I really have no ego at all… I’m pretty sure any success I have is because of a myriad of circumstances, but I’m smart enough to seek out and capture those circumstances and place them around me. I’ll give myself credit for that. But the freaking egomaniacs.. I can’t really relate. I’d say Nick Saban is this way, but then again, he high tailed it out of the NFL before fans got back to their seats with their popcorn, so he did know a wrong situation for himself, and he’s never been back since and just winning National Championships year after year. So there’s a guy even with a man ego bigger than Tuscaloosa on the first day of class, sho has enough whereabouts to go where he could succeed and he hasn’t been shy in hitching on to very talented coordinators (mostly offensive). Right now, McClappy has to know Dorsey is in over his head. A change will be made, and hopefully the OC is the right guy. And really, if he wants to go a step further, quit calling the damn defense and get an experienced, talented DC. Delegate, or it’s over for you, McClappy.

Did. If the Bengals were going for the knockout punch, and they didn’t get it, AND the Bills ended up with no picks, no fumbles, and 1 sack,, I’m more depressed than I thought I was.

This is it. The “positives” that I’m hearing about this game is that the defense showed up in the second half. That’s simply not a sign of anything. The Bengals played with the lead, and made damn sure that they weren’t going to hand it to the Bills. It’s what good teams do sometimes. The Bills have done it. They win, and completely control the game, but only score 24 (it happened last Thursday for crying out loud!). At no point in last night’s game did I feel like the Bills had any control of that game, the entire 60 minutes. You’ll all say admit the same. I’m hearing all these comparisons about how the Bills defense held the high powered Bengals offense to three second half points, and the Bills started scoring the second half.. BELIEVE ME, if the Bills showed any life earlier in the game, the Bengals would’ve shot them with an elephant gun, right away. Great. Candy a$$ quarterback. All we need.

Harty. You’re one guy that burns. I have no clue why they even signed him.

You want frustrating.. at some point soon this is a lost season (which is un-*****-believable) and they’ll start to save JA17. That’s going to look atrocious.

You are a positive person @Simon God bless you. At 5-4, the Bills are very close to the marker where positivity can’t be fake it until you make it. With this roster, 5-4 is troublesome, and an indicator of problems now, and probably more to come.

The Cincinnati game should have been a Super Bowl effort. Avenge TWO games last year, and you have a week and a half to prepare after a Thursday home game. But this is a game performance that is scary looking right now. There’s no great prior playoff success that can be summoned to excuse the players’ lack of energy and the awful coaching. The Bills haven’t played exciting football for way too long. It looks like the dog days of summer out there right now. They got bullied again. All those dudes in that locker room okay with this?? 1. The players that have money are playing like they don’t need anymore of it 2. The coaches hate each other. McD called out Dorsey in the halftime interview. He needs to make a change and bring in a game caller with decades of experience. Stop the JV experiment with Dorsey. 3. Would a terrible HC be terrible if they have Josh Allen? Isn’t Allen the quality of QB that wins 10-12 games a win regardless of his coach? Why do I always feel like he needs to be coached to the teeth to be a successful player..? The top two or three QBs in the league over the past two decades won every year regardless or receiving corps, runningbacks, Olines, defenses, and coaches.

Agree to disagree ❌

That Clara Barton couldn’t save this team

I disagreed with your comment. I don’t disagree with your existence. Don’t take it so hard.

Nobody cares. So what, that can’t play hard?? There’s more wrong with this team than be decimated by defensive injuries. WHERE’S THE OFFENSE?? no injuries on that side of the ball. If anything, the defensive is super frustrating to watch right now, but they aren’t giving up 40. The offense is a complete no show. And that’s where all the off season upgrades are?? No, not doing the Ah shucks injuries excuse when they should have enough talent to beat every single team they’ve lost to this year.

Just awful
