  1. This is a down year for the Bills, and they're still probably going to win the division, admittedly by default. I expect to be able to beat whoever we draw in the wild card round. I have no expectations beyond that, but stranger things have happened.

     

    I was here for the drought. All of it. If this is what a reset year looks like, I am a happy man.

  2. The Bills don't have any problems scoring. Maybe we could be more efficient at the goal line, but that hasn't really mattered.

     

    We need for our defense to stop collapsing in the playoffs. The defense is why we have been getting bounced every year. We have invested a metric *****-ton of resources in the DL, and it can never generate pressure when we need it. That's on McDermott and Beane.

    Josh Allen making snap decisions in tight spaces or under pressure typically doesn't bode well.

    Yeah, if there's one place where Allen sucks, it's when he has to improvise and throw off-platform. 

     

    Dumbass.

    I mean... good for both of you, I guess?

     

    Whether you were someone who did or didn't though - it doesn't change the fact that we couldn't use two roster spots on Punters for two years and deal with the media distraction all the while. Everyone on this board and fanbase could have said nothing at all, it wouldn't have mattered.

     

    The result would have been the same, any way you slice it, with any team that drafted him. 

    People like you are the reason why there was a media distraction. Nobody was willing to apply the slightest amount of critical scrutiny to a story that was shady af from the very beginning.

    You can sit on your high horse in hindsight and judge everyone around here.

    Thanks -- will do. A whole bunch of people on this forum fell for a fraud, and people like me were telling them that at the time. I'm sure that thread still exists somewhere.

    Tried to do this from memory. If it was consensual, what theory was her attorney pushing?  Was she drunk?  In any event, a 22 year old having sex with a 17 year old isn’t a great look.  I’ll repeat.  No way the Bills were going to do anything other than cut him after the allegations came out.

    "Not a good look" is never a reason to get the pitchforks out.  Come on now.

    There was ZERO chance Bills were doing anything other than cutting him once the allegations were made.  Remember the allegations?  Having non consensual sex with a minor?  
     

    Remember the Bills were consensus favorites to win the Super Bowl going into that year.  There was again zero chance of keeping him on the roster and have the daily distractions stemming from having an accused rapist on the team.  
     

    Was it fair? Of course not.  Is it insane that he signed with our arch rival?  Of course it is.  But it’s the Bills. Another brick in the wall.

    Araiza had a consensual sex with a 17 year old.  That would have been perfectly legal in NY and many other US states.  It was technically illegal in CA, but of course he wasn't charged with anything in relation to that because nobody prosecutes stuff like that.

  7. I wonder if other fanbases have to deal with stuff like this, or it's just a Josh Allen thing.

     

    I mean, obviously it was fine to target the guy breaking open in the end zone.  Allen makes that throw 9 out of 10 times if Dawkins holds his block just slightly better.  People who complain about this are demonstrating either (a) very low football IQ or (b) a willingness to say stupid stuff just to get engagement.

  8. The old format with 6 teams was better.  Teams like the 2023 Steelers shouldn't be in the playoffs, and the regular season is more enjoyable when the stakes of each game are higher.  

     

    Obviously the NFL would add an 8th team before it switched back to the old format, and I would also prefer that over the current awkward system.

    There’s always been two ways to view today’s Bills. Group No. 1 views this as a team with a balled-up fist banging on that Super Bowl door, bound to knock it down. This is how the organization is sold at press conferences. Group No. 2 sees a window closing. Group No. 2 knows the quarterback cannot ***** souls forever and — correctly — wants to see coaching and management that maximizes Josh Allen while he’s Josh Allen.

    Dunne is 100% right about this, a bunch of people in this thread have their heads buried in the sand.

     

    Maybe the best approach at this point is to stick with McDermott and hope that we luck into a super bowl.  It's possible.  If we make the playoffs every year, there's a decent chance that the ball will eventually bounce our way a few games in a row.  That's not a totally unreasonable strategy.  But Dunne is right that we're being coached by Marty Schottenheimer, which would be a-okay if Tyrod Taylor was under center, but it feels kind of criminal when we have a HOFer in his prime.
