LABILLBACKER

As far as I'm concerned, Kincaid / Shakir / Coleman / Palmer and Samuel are the only 5 who should see targets. I'm not wasting throws to Knox, Moore or Shavers. I'm only letting 5 eat. We're not targeting Ray or Ty anymore?

Oh it's been the problem in the regular season too. It’s just camouflaged better because of the weaker competition. You can’t hide our defensive flaws in the playoffs because every team and coaching staff is great.

It's lazy....it's hubris...there is a level of arrogance dismissing other possibly more talented players, in order to retread players only because they know your system. I've always hated this tactic but it’s just one of McD's flaws. As a DC, yes....as a HC, oh hell no.

We've had bites at different apples only to watch Pegs stay in his comfort zone. Johnson Harbaugh Peyton Belichick (2021)

I wouldn't be opposed to Beane accidentally stumbling on a WR1 to pair with Kincaid. Keon is definitely not going to be that guy. And Shakir will continue as a reliable WR2.

So far the results of that gauntlet drill are highly overrated. Dalton's obvious improvement this season has been extremely encouraging. Keon on the other hand is an enigma?

The perfect time to make a change was 2021, right after 13s. But the teflon man had unlimited support by fans and Pegula. Meanwhile we wasted 4 more years of Josh's younger production since then. Countless failed defensive draft picks. The Von Miller debacle. Our defense is injury riddled every year. We've had plenty of opportunities to go after other experienced coaches but we continue with our own personal groundhogs day.

Yes he searches far and wide to return the same washed up players to this team for the sake of "knowing the almighty system".... And that will forever be the downfall of this organization.

I honesty don’t feel this organization values speed at wr anymore. And if true, that's tragic.

I don't ever want my de backpedaling into coverage under any circumstances. I don't care if he got the play wrong.

You don't see that everyday

I think I heard "alert" about 20x last night. Josh had to check out of plays constantly. This is a testament to the predictability of our offense.

Since 2018, Hochuli calls more penalties per game 10.3 than the league average against the Bills which is 6.4 That's not a coincidence....

Our defense is a joke. At this point we're going to have to out score teams the rest of the season. I'd love trading for Olave. Even if Oliver, Hairston and Hoecht return, I don't trust our scheme, players or their ability to stay healthy. Tre, Milano and Rapp must be replaced immediately.

Couldn't see player numbers. Our logo on the helmet was invisible. And yes we have a losing record with white tops. Not a fan of these money grab unis.

It would've been nice to see Babich force Maye to roll out just once to his left. They allowed constant roll outs to his throwing side all night long.

Yes, Bruce was a HOF game wrecker. McBeane have been incapable of finding an impact defensive player for 8 long years. That's alot of draft picks wasted. ....and both of them together gives you food poisoning.

Completely agree....as sad and tragic as it's been watching Tre try to salvage his career, the play of Taron, Benford and Rapp has been bad. I don't know who's worse, the wr room or the db room?

That clutch 4th quarter stop is never coming. It wasn't there in the Houston game. It wasn't there with 13s. Our defensive players are constantly getting hurt. Our zone scheme is easily manipulated by any top12 qb. We can't finish a sack to save our lives. We have both a "bend" and "break" defense.

15 called penalties....this team was not caught in a white out but extreme fog. No focus at all last night. And as I recall we had 2 more opportunities earlier in the game to sack Maye. Instead we just hang on his legs like some little kid playing with their dad. Both times he was able to throw the ball away and avoid a big loss. Game wreckers don't miss sack opportunities like that.

I'd argue our biggest problem is completing the act of a sack. We get to the qb, but take 5 seconds trying to get him down while he still releases the ball. That 4th quarter completion to Diggs was the game.

It looked cool on the broadcast but it was also nothing more than a money grab. This uniform is nowhere near the identity of this team or it's fans. They looked flat and disinterested last night on national tv. Lose the white out....lose Mr Briteside, Knox's wedding is over. Get back to the core of this team. The white blended in with the grey numbers. In the game you couldn't make out anything. The helmet logo was impossible to see. It just didn't work for me.
