LABILLBACKER

Hate this survive the ground nonsense.

Yup...now somebody needs to ingrain that into Josh.

Is this game ever going to start?

Cocaine Bear (based on true story?) embellished bigtime. The real bear was 175# and didn't injure or kill anyone.

And there lies this tragedy. Why can't McBeane see this?? Why have they neglected surrounding Josh with what he deserves?? Meanwhile they're trying to build some Ravens defense by drafting defensive busts.

Numbers say Vikings 1 and Buffalo 2 Vikings 21 playoff wins Bills 17 playoff wins Both teams 0-4 ....tired of not finishing....

It's not ignored on me or I think a majority of our fans. Players like Cook, Hines, Shakir and Elam all should've not only played more but played earlier. This moronic philosophy of holding back young talent is holding back this team. And it's got to end.

Agree....if we get another chance to draft a 6-4 / 4.39 guy we better consider Johnston if he's close to 27.

Priorities in this exact order should be: 1. LG 2. RT 3. WR2 4. DE 5. LB 6. SS ....If a dynamic wr falls to us then that should be 27. The next 2 picks OL. 4th round maybe an under the radar pass rusher to replace Basham/AJE down the road. If we lose Tremaine then either sign Vander Esch or go LB in the 5th.

Then we'll have to trade up for Quentin Johnston.

Cooper Kupp agrees with your assessment.

Eastport and newcam sum it up the best as far as responding to the OP. It's the way I feel. We're all different and this board would be pretty boring if we didn't have different opinions on that "spectrum". And in some regards there's something to take out of what Dr K and Augie say. It's just so incredibly hard at my age to keep the "wait till next year" montra going. I'm not going to be around forever and neither is Josh. But I also can't let it give me ulcers and effort the other good things in my life. Maybe I just need to check myself in to "Buffalo Bills therapy".......

Completely agree. Look at Cooper Kupp. He only ran a 4.62 and fell to the 3rd. The Rams did their homework and got a SB mvp.

That will remain the great mystery of this team. Who's calling the shots.

Wow, adding 3 guys really gets into your crotch lenny. If I had known it was that easy to get in your head I would've added 3 more.

I double dawg dare you to smoke a bowl with me. Then you'll really get some clarity.

I think both Josh and Stefon need to ask for a meeting with Beane and Sean. They need to be able to express their concerns. Maybe bring up the FACT that they're sick and tired of seeing the defense get all the spoils. And then these 2 guys are asked to cover up all the mistakes made defensively. Jesus.....they need help. This has been an ongoing problem ignored by McB for over 3 years. Upgrade the damn OL. Upgrade the damn running game. Upgrade the damn wrs not named Diggs. And maybe the most important thing to save " both your damn jobs" is Upgrade the damn coordinators.

I agree with everything you said but the biggest and first question that needs to be answered is who really runs this team? Beane or McDermott? Once you accurately answer that, you can start the job of fixing the issues.

Brian was able to quickly identify Josh's early flaws and reel him back in. You definitely have to give Dabs credit for molding Josh into the qb who practically pitched 2 perfect games in the playoffs. Dorsey has been more of an intoxicating OC allowing more hero ball Josh to seep back in. I naively assumed Ken would practice more Daboll-isms but it never materialized. I think in a year or 2 when the dust settles, we might see a Ben Johnson type taking over.

Yes I'd probably include Hyde, Poyer, Von....but that's about it....doesn't mean we don't have players who want to win but these 6 are dawgs, warriors.

This team has 3 players whom I would never question their heart or passion to win. Josh, Stefon and Matt. These are the type of players you build around, not ever get rid of.

If only the Bills were so bold.

No one should ever deny Stefon's passion for winning a SB. He wants it for his teammates and the community. Maybe somehow he's questioning the abilities of these coaches and frankly I don't blame him. And now Josh might be in the middle of it.

This narrative about our top 5 regular season defense is an illusion. And it has been for these last 4 seasons. It doesn't ever translate to the playoffs. I'm investing 75% of my cap and draft capital on offense. I'm tired of waiting for this top5 defense to ever play top5 in high leverage playoff games. On a side note I'm signing Vander Esch for 2-3 M/ yr. He had the exact same 2022 AV as Edmunds. This is a no brainer.

JSN's college YAC ability is elite. Some concerns for his deep speed. He's projected to come in around 4.49 at the combine. But that Rose Bowl game was impressive. Would have no problem with him at 27 unless Johnston falls. Boutte will be another to follow.
