Franchise in trouble- Josh Allen has regressed
Nihilarian replied to RoscoeParrish's topic in The Stadium Wall
This! Look at Tom Brady (you know, the goat!) this season with no run game and a bad O line...look familiar? Look at Josh Allen last season when the line played so much better and in fact was so good that Beane kept a lot of those line players. Now, they regressed! Josh was the leading rusher (again) in that game and without his yards the Buffalo RBs had only 11 carries for 38 yards! Total 19 rushes for 64 yards. Also, Josh was under heavy pass rush pressure all game long. Go back to last years playoff run where the O line played much better and the Bills actually had a run game, Josh was basically unstoppable. Buffalo needs to rebuild that O line above all else! JMHO -
Again, I have no idea what you are taking about? This years Buffalo Bills went 14-4. If anything they were outcoached on both sides of the ball against Cincy. One guy is a rookie and the other caused the 13 seconds. The GM doesn't coach the team. This team has enough talent to get to and win a SB, IMHO.
-
That guy won ONE SB in 15 years in NO and had a future HoF QB in Drew Brees the entire time. 7 playoff losses, 5 losing seasons. McD is better...he went to the playoffs with Tyrod Taylor at QB. The Bills were outcoached against the Bengals on both sides of the ball. One guy is a rookie and the other caused the 13 seconds. The Buffalo Bills currently have one of the very best HC's in the league. Not many could have overcome the adversity this team has endured the last few months. Heart attack on the field. Snow storm that causes the team to play a home game in a different city. The players needed to be dug out to even get to the airport. Snow so bad they couldn't return home. Injuries to so many players this season. McD should be coach of the year!

Brees was about the most accurate passing QBs ever! He spent 5 seasons in San Diego and took them to an 11-4 record in 2004. 10-6 in 2006. Passed for over 3000 yards in 3 of his 5 years at SD. The Chargers were a run first team under Marty Schottenheimer back then. LT! Ex Buffalo Bills director of pro personnel, AJ Smith drafted Eli Manning who refused to play in SD so they traded with the NY Giants for Phillip Rivers who they drafted #1. AJ Smith wanted Rivers to be the starting QB. Besides, Brees suffered a serious shoulder injury. Both NO and Miami were interested. NO gave Brees 10 mill guaranteed, a 6 year 60 million dollar deal. Dolphins HC was Nick Saban who went on to say he really, really regretted choosing Daunte Culpepper over Brees. As Bills fan I'm extremely happy Brees hurt his shoulder and he did not become a Miami Dolphin. I put Sean Payton in the Mike Tomlin category in that he was always in the playoffs with Big Ben at QB. Whatever team he chooses will need to have a top QB. Lastly, You know who else didn't have top arm strength and was also very, very accurate. Yea, Joe Montana.

Nothing you said validates anything! Are you really a Bills fan? Brandon Beane is considered one of the very best GM's in the league! Actually, best of the best. https://www.si.com/nfl/bills/news/buffalo-gm-brandon-beane-rank-best Von Miller, 7 of the 8 draft picks this season played at some point. Gabe Davis was a 4th, Bass was a 6th and so on. The team is loaded with talent. Coaching matters! Buffalo was outcoached on both sides of the ball. One guy is a rookie. Speaking of trash...
-
What is with Bills fans today? Sean Payton was the HC of the NO Saints for 15 seasons. Won ONE SB in all that time with future HoF QB Drew Brees at QB. Out of the 15 seasons went to the playoffs 9 times and lost Conf, WC, Div, Div, Div, Conf, WC, Div. He had 5 losing season in that time too. I don't see a great savior! No way is he worth a #1 pick and 20 mill per. Not to this team as they already have a better HC.

Building a super bowl team doesn't usually happen over night especially when the team has been in mediocrity for 20 years. Never bad enough to get a top 5 pick and when they trade up for one... they choose a paper WR who looks at the field and gets an injury. The list of guys who were drafted that year in the first round... good lord 17 first round picks ended up being better picks. Remember that crappy GM? Brandon Beane has been a godsend for Buffalo and so has McD. The guy who went to the playoffs with Tyrod Taylor at QB. I'm not happy either...I just realize that replacing Beane and McD would be a whole lot more difficult than just wishing it. How many teams went 14-4 this season? There would be about a 2 second delay in firing one of those two guys and them being instantly rehired. As for the HC either Denver, Carolina, Houston, Arizona, Indy.
-
What are you talking about? Beane traded away RB Moss to a guy who ran back two kickoffs for two TD's in one game. Look again at this years draft class. Coaching lost this game, one is a rookie play caller. The only thing I have to say about the coaching staff. The 49ers showed Buffalo how to beat the Dolphins and yet almost lost to the 3rd string backup QB because they have to do things their way.
-
Another year? Are you serious? 14-4 in 2022! You don't remember what it was like being a Buffalo fan previous to McD, Beane? These are the best two since Marv and Polian. Let's not forget that those Bills were horrid previous to being hired and thus were able to draft HoFers Bruce Smith, Jim Kelly among others. Also, as good at that K-gun offense was, they ran the ball with Thurman more then they passed most of those glory years. This game showed the flaws, lousy Bflo O line and hardly any run game...Josh Allen the leading rusher...again! Allen trying to press all game. (Bills D line got no pressure despite 3 lost starters.) Allen only sacked once and yet hit 8 times and countless pressures. Lastly, OC Ken Dorsey is a rookie this year. Recall what Daboll looked like his first season in Buffalo?
-
I also hope so! There has only been one perfect team the entire history of the NFL, 72 Dolphins. The 85 Bears lost to Miami in that season. The 2000 Ravens lost to Miami, Pittsburgh, Tennessee, Washington. This season the 49ers also lost to crappy Atlanta & Denver, also KC. It's not what teams do at the start of the season...it's how it ends! Anyway, look how the goat QB ended his season. No matter how great a QB is...they need a strong supporting cast. Buffalo needs a strong run game, no question.
-
This! The crying and whining from Bills fans is almost getting to biblical proportions. Overreactions while not thinking clearly. They seem to forget WRex Ryan, Doug Maroon, Chan Gaily, Skeletor and so many others since Marv...so many coaches, QBs, draft picks...and top ten draft picks that went nowhere! 20 years man, 20 years! Alas, there is a real reason as to why Daboll is now a HC and Frazier is not. Did he even get any interviews? Coaching does matter! OTOH, the Bills have a rookie OC. Can anyone recall how Daboll looked his first season in Buffalo? Lastly, I look at the 49ers with envious eyes...their run game, defense that help a rookie QB look so good.

As much as I would love the Buffalo Bills to field the NFLs best offensive line. Having Josh Allen at QB has proven that hasn't been a necessity. I even dislike mentioning it...however, age, injuries often catch up with all elite athletes...eventually. I agree that the Buffalo Bills should be building the very best offensive line this offseason just to prepare for that eventuality. Build that run game to control the game/clock...which will simply allow Josh Allen to be more dominant with the passing game. Last season's playoff push has shown what Josh Allen can do when given time in the pocket to throw...unstoppable! It was that "prevent" defense that killed them in KC. Balance though...Defense does win Championships. Of the 110 teams to reach the SB, 88 of them fielded a top 10 in scoring. Of the 55 SB champs, 48 had a top 10 scoring defense.
-
Surprising how many Buffalo receivers can't catch from such a noodle armed QB... Yet, Buffalo #1 with 25, Miami #2 with 25, Tampa Bay with 25. Green Bay with 25, Jacksonville with 24. WHAT! The KC Chiefs with 23 drops! http://hosted.stats.com/fb/tmleaders.asp?type=Receiving&range=NFL&rank=232 * Gabe Davis, 71 targets, 38 rec. a 53.5 catch percentage. Both Diggs, Davis have dropped 6 passes each this season

Updated Beasley signing to practice squad
Nihilarian replied to Niagara Dude's topic in The Stadium Wall
Good stuff! I'm thinking that the Bills took a long hard look at that 3rd down production against the NY Jets...2-13! Buffalo had only 11 first downs all game and 3 came from penalties. Josh Allen passing, 16 of 27 for 130 yards all game? Not the first quarter, not the first half? 130 yards the entire game! And some fans complaining about bringing back Bease, Mr. first down... -

47.1% catch percentage vs 73.2%? -
Updated Beasley signing to practice squad
Nihilarian replied to Niagara Dude's topic in The Stadium Wall
Let's face it...the guy was getting beaten down every game. He would find a way to get open, catch the ball and get pounded for it. Should be fresh and ready to go if he kept in shape. Bease with a 73.2% catch percentage in 2021. The only one better ATM is Knox at 74%. Shakir is at 47.1, Gabe Davis 53.5%. -

Good news if true! Bills offense needs that first down maker! -
Bills can clinch a playoff spot this week
Nihilarian replied to Einstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
This game makes me so very nervous... The smelly fish actually have an offense that can put up some points...when working. Meanwhile, the Bills offense has fallen into a doldrums pit as of late. Dropped passes, missed throws, missed blocks, penalties. Still, Buffalo is on a 4 game win streak and would very much like to see that at 5...along with a playoff berth. -
Orlovsky: Bills aren't as talented offensively as we thought
Nihilarian replied to Billz4ever's topic in The Stadium Wall
This! As I said earlier, My take is something is up with Josh Allen. Just not sure what, ribs, elbow, arm? Normally Josh doesn't miss a throws like those. It could be the weather, slippery ball? That one errant first throw could have changed the entire complexation of the game. Something is up with Gabe Davis also... they bring in John* Brown and throw only once to him and only one throw to Skakir too. Strange stuff, a lot of third and long and only went 2 of 13 on third down conversions. Good thing the Buffalo defense stepped up like they did! Let's hope the Bills get their shi ,stuff together going forward! -
Orlovsky: Bills aren't as talented offensively as we thought
Nihilarian replied to Billz4ever's topic in The Stadium Wall
This! Buffalo beat a very tough Detroit team and the Vikings didn't! The Buffalo offense is doing just enough to win the game. The Bills defense is playing well. Those hits on Mike White...whoa! The Jets only sacked Allen 3x, 4x QB hits total. That first game they sacked Josh 5x and hit him 8x. I also question who is injured and still out there playing? Gabe Davis? O line? Allen? -
Orlovsky: Bills aren't as talented offensively as we thought
Nihilarian replied to Billz4ever's topic in The Stadium Wall
My take is something is off with Josh Allen, his elbow, his arm...something. AND, he was pressing at times while attempting to do far to much on his own. Too many turnovers in those losses! The offense has settled into a "lets help Josh" mentality. 24 rush attempts vs 27 pass attempts. Josh final game stats, 16 of 27 for 147, 1 TD is what we were used to seeing in the first quarter in the early games this season. Yet, Josh is still sorta playing hero as he was the leading rusher, 10 for 47, 1 TD. Although, Singletary was 8 for 39, a 4.9 AVG. Time of Possession, Jets 34:25 vs Bills 25:35. 2 turnovers were the difference. Fugly win, but a win nonetheless. Opposing teams have figured out how to defend the Bills offense (aside for Diggs, who is unmatched) This falls on the rookie OC, who is learning as he goes. Look how long it took Daboll to get that offense clicking like he did at the end of last season. Anyone else recall how bad the Buffalo offense looked against the Jaguars in 2021? That Buffalo defense played "lights out" and really carried this game IMO. Current Stats, Buffalo offense, #4 in points scored, #2 in yards. Buffalo defense, #2 in points allowed, #9 in yards allowed. Getting healthy finally too. Let's hope Dorsey is saving something for the playoffs or perhaps for this Miami game.
