It’s a fair point. While the offense struggled the second half of 2021, the team caught fire in the playoffs. That may have been their best look to date at a Super Bowl. Often winning a title requires a some luck and a bit of lightning in a bottle. Even with a top QB and a good roster - and a franchise record tying W/L record you simply can’t pencil in great chances at a championship. It just doesn’t work that way, although the Brady led Patriots made it look routine and threw expectations out of whack.

Changing out large numbers of players is difficult, so coaching changes need to be made. It’s very possible the current defensive scheme has taken the team as far as it can go. A suggestion for Vic Fangio was made and that’s a very good idea. Offensively more talent is needed on OL and at WR. Those changes could yield the desired results.

If Beane said that, it’s pretty much an indictment of the coaching staff and their ability to game plan.

Bills fans are often far too critical of their own team, while not critical enough of rival teams.

When he blitzes , Edmunds usually looks stiff to me; not really “ bendy” enough to excel in that role.

The vast majority of the wins, not that particular win.

I would too. Fortunately I don’t see that happening.

His contract is up. Just don’t renew him. He would not return for the upcoming 2023 season.

Been here since 99. Had a different handle the first five years or so. Never even lurked on BBMB actually , though it obviously had its fans. Just wasn’t aware of it.

Not sure the reason for the contrast , but definitely noticeable if you’ve given more than a few casual listens.

He is a team emoyee. He’s the sideline reporter and travels with the team from what I understand. He is definitely measured in his criticism but not as bad as Tasker and Brown imo

Absolutely not. Single elimination is the beauty of the NFL playoffs. You truly only have to be better that gameday. Home field, bye week etc doesn’t guarantee you anything in the end.

Exactly . Again , what do fans expect to hear from these team employees ? Any criticism from them will be mild and external factors will be emphasized. Go elsewhere for more critical content. Coulda used Matt Foley…

Definitely missed Jones. Best run stuffing DL on the Bills and turns out it was a day that called for it.

You felt that way The ENTIRE 9 minutes that was actually played? Oh wow!

They were better THAT DAY. This is all that matters in a single elimination tournament really. Plenty of teams have hoisted Lombardi’s due to this.

The only thing the last paragraph shows is that the Bengals are comprised of mental midgets. All playoff teams sell tickets to games on a “ if necessary “ basis. Bengals fans have shown their supreme lack of intelligence re: this on twitter as well. A walkthrough practice is not even worth mentioning.

Nah, the Bills peaked too soon and had key injuries up and down the roster. The Bengals win streak wasn’t much different from Buffalo’s, right down to a close win vs the Chiefs. The NFC north will likely be tougher next season as well. Pretty much a cakewalk this year and CIN still had losses to BAL and PIT. Timing is everything in the tournament.

Long way off. There will be contract restructurings and FA before the draft rolls around.

Yes, they will be able to make moves. This is just a GM not wanting to box himself in while speaking with the media. Contracts will be reworked etc. Also sort of adds to his legend if he says not much can be done then pulls something out of his hat in March.

Only one I can think of was BAL and they weren’t lighting the world on fire. Frazier also had success vs Jackson in regular season games so it just carried over. Patriots offense was not a top unit either. Overall his defenses have been less than impressive in playoff games. The Bills playoff wins were largely due to Josh Allen.

He is , but he’s also a hit away from retirement. Don’t recall a C getting that many concussions- maybe he’s just susceptible to them. Anyway, RT has been a problem for a few seasons now and needs a solid upgrade but probably time to draft a new C. Can’t argue with that. BAL and SF use a FB but you can also see why. Can’t see much in the BUF offense that justifies a FB.

Probably right. Edmunds is pretty young too. He had a better year than Oliver. Age working against Poyer returning, but he was a great player for us.

Those numbers don’t lie.

Not talking about the contract - the draft picks. Would have presumably cost Bills more because they had a better record at the time so they’d assume the Bills pick would be later.
