My brother is an engineer for the United States Navy! Thank you for everything you guys do

People here don't realize McDermott is adamant about keeping the running game going because we don't have the people to just drop back and throw 45 times The bills have done that in the past.. right now this current team does not have the ability to do that And McDermott wants to win so he knows the best way to open up the passing game is to get the running game going... This offense needs it this year

I assume this is day drinking guys Don't be too mean lol

Considering the Super bowl champions lost buy two touchdowns to the Giants.. and there still one of the top contenders It is a league of parity.. once the playoffs come it is much more apt to judge by the best game you could play not your worst It doesn't mean you're going to play your best but it shows what your ceiling is .. any team can play a stinker But the focus goes up more in the playoffs.. do you think Josh Allen has the bills prepared and not fired up for a postseason game like today? I don't believe so.. everybody still thinks the Chiefs are the team to beat and we can beat them

I said in a different thread I judge NFL teams by their highs not their lows The season is so long and there's so much attrition it really is a league of parity I judge you by how you look against the best not against the worst because Josh wakes up for big games Tom Brady had some lulls mid season 2.. more often than not he was able to whip the team specifically the offense in two shape

Their defense has definitely been great.. but it's been three point losses for us when we're more depleted than them I watched the Giants win the Super bowl as a 9 win team I don't think this season is over yet Literally it has to be next man up in the NFL

In 2023 and 2024 the Chiefs scored like 22-21 points per game Their offense did struggle throughout the regular season... The bills have averaged 30 26 and 28 The Chiefs have struggled protecting Patrick mahomes and they do not have a bunch of crazy world-class weapons around him because salary cap the last two years Patrick mahomes average 22 points per game last year.. he had no running game not a great line and not great wide receiver play for the most part Again the difference was they had a healthy defense versus US last year and we didn't .. it's not like they're blowing us out we are right there and been severely depleted It's one thing to have an injury that happened 8 weeks ago and be able to regroup and rebuild.. we're getting injuries six days before we play the Chiefs in the playoffs And we lose by three The Chiefs don't have a great offensive line and they don't have a great running game.. and they have not been scoring more than the bills for the last 2 years the difference is they're healthy on defense in the playoffs when we play them

Pretty sure the Bills fans are amazing and cool at Ralph Wilson stadium I've been the game all over the NFL and there's not a friendlier fan base really then the bills either .. it's passionate but not disrespectful like eagles There's drunk people at every stadium unfortunately.. majority of Bills fans are 100% welcoming to everybody even Kansas City Chiefs fans have good times in Buffalo The city has always been good to opposing team fans coming in with lighthearted ribbing but nothing malicious typically

Comparing the Lions franchise to ours during their playing time with them is not even close Lions went to the playoffs like three times in a decade We've missed it once with Josh We're not trading Josh to the Chicago bears and they're becoming Super bowl champions instantly lol not how the NFL works

Patriots barely had a fan base in 1983 Entire fan base is spoiled and entitled and turn on a dime .. trying to talk about Bills fans like that There's a reason why nobody says the Patriots fans have the most loyal fan base in the NFL... It's because it's not

Considering six straight AFC East championships gone to the AFC title game twice has beaten Patrick mahomes more than any organization That's literally the definition of hyperbole to call it a waste Peyton Manning had no problem laying into any player to demand more.. Josh certainly can take more command he is the captain of this team He doesn't need to be everybody's friend he needs to lead by example and sometimes you need to light a fire under people's ass Josh is a quiet leader.. can't tell me that he is always rallying the troops.. he does his pregame speech and he leads by example.. but Brady and Manning had no problem chewing out players

For sure but even after Eagles won the SB they had win totals of 9 9 4 9.. multiple pics in the top 15 The bills haven't had a top 10 pick since Oliver in 2018... We have consistently won more games then the majority of the league Which makes it tough because the league is about parity... We can't keep missing on our second round picks which is supposed to be a bread and butter round in the NFL Like some of the best pure football players go in round 2 and we've been meh

When this team wakes up to play football games it's hard to beat When it doesn't wake up they're not great No I do not believe they're going to sleep walk into foxboro

It's the NFL Giants whoop the eagles too

The bills are 6 and 3 lol have the most wins against Patrick mahomes the last 6 years in the NFL The bills don't suck as an organization.. despite playing rough Go to a New England Patriots board , talk with them

I still don't think they will beat us in the next matchup.. are they better than last year for sure Outside of the division which is always set.. and the division the AFC East plays which is set... Technically they do get two games guaranteed against the fourth team from the division the year before While the bills get the number one team in those two games That two game stretch isn't the end of the world but it there is a difference between playing the former fourth place team of the division and the former first place team in the division There's a reason they do that People act like they're guaranteed to win the division... I think we're taking them in foxboro

They literally have a fourth place schedule The bills have been playing first place schedules for six straight years Let's see how the Patriots do with even a top two schedule next year.. there's a massive difference between playing the former fourth place team in the division and the first or second

What do you expect when you have a 400 million quarterback and an offensive line .. and just paid a running back Joe burrow is paid with flashy toys and he can't even play because he's always hurt There's give takes.. Josh 100% knows that his contract and keeping his offensive line intact means he has to make players around him better That was always the point of Superstar quarterback.. they make everybody around them better.. he fully understands that people act like we haven't lost by a field goal to the Chiefs the last couple years in the playoffs.. they are not touchdowns better than us in the playoffs we've been right there

I judge a team by the highest of their highs not the lowest of their lows If the bills beat New England and beat Philadelphia while taking care of business with the other teams that would mean a lot more than a piss poor effort game

As I said he could improve even his leadership a bit If he got a little loud and demanded accountability.. demanded you play with your best effort You don't have to be an all pro but you need to run every route hard and block hard etc ... He was just with Manning doing that little skit.. I'm surprised Manning didn't tell him he needs to sometimes take the bull by the horns Peyton had no problem ringing into anybody

Well that's something that's been Josh Allen for a long time now You don't really see him rile up the troops anymore .. you don't see him slapping up guys on the sidelines and getting them pumped up He is kind of a quiet leader.. most of his pumping up is in the locker room or in the tunnel Like I do believe he can take another step as a leader by holding people as accountable as he does himself you... I know he's a great teammate but that doesn't mean he can't demand the best out of you

Every single person who plays football no you can't win the Super bowl every year We've literally been near the top consistently The grass is not always greener... Getting paid $350 million definitely puts more stress on you and makes fun harder Because there's a lot of pressure on you.. Tom Brady barely had fun was always angry and screaming.. because the pressure You don't see a lot of quarterbacks smiling all the time

Mismanaging the cap with deals like that has made it hard to sign a top wide receiver too Beane didn't want to pay Edmunds but paid a 225 lb middle linebacker.. he didn't need to rush to extend Bernard to that deal

I don't think McDermott is opposed to throwing a football He was opposed to throwing it 40 times and running 10 times which is not a Super bowl winning strategy either If we had John Brown Beasley and digs again and they were running well I have no doubt McDermott would throw more Beane is the one signing and drafting wide receivers When you're paying an offensive line and a quarterback and a running back there's not much money to go around for wide receiver you have to hit on the pics and pro personnel acquisitions Something that we really haven't hit on since Brown and Beasley That's big... McDermott can only work with what he is given... Unlike Bill belichick he is not in full control if he was they wouldn't need Brandon Beane McDermott would just have a GM title also like BB... Beane got the praise for bringing in diggs, brown ... Not McDermott You should also get the blame for not bringing in any more dogs

Any Bills fan that says the trade Josh Allen...
