LABILLBACKER

Schmitz & Mauch would be a hellava combo in the first 2 rounds. We'd have to pray a diamond wr falls to 3rd?

Saffold, Quessenberry and Crowder. Think about that. These are absolute dumpster dive cheap Jags who do nothing to improve this offense. Q was the clown who almost ended Josh's season. Saffold our worst graded olineman and thanks for nothing Crowder. Meanwhile McMensa wastes a 1st round pick on a CB he hardly let's play. Mind- numbing.....

That's because we're too busy drafting defensive players in the first 2 rounds.

Why we abandoned the easy checkdowns which also act as your running game will be the great mystery of 2022?

Jim Nantz just spent alot of time talking about the challenges Josh & the Bills endured this season. Just said he wouldn't be surprised to see Josh not at Pebble next year because he might be in Vegas.

Dorsey had few hot reads or crossing routes all season. And yes Josh has to be coached up to value the checkdown as much as the fly route. When your weapons are few and teams double Diggs, you revert to hero ball.

Totally agree...as long as McB keeps failing on defensive picks and FA's, they will continue to ask Josh to do it all with " no groceries"....that's an insanely stupid strategy.

Exactly...Spector and Bernard are terrible...we're about to lose Edmunds...that leaves Milano....it's not happening, would take way to long to flip back.

Beane is not the glaring problem for this organization. It's McDermott's incessant need for defensive players over using common sense and building around Josh. Look at all the draft capital and cap$ we've used on defense. I highly doubt Beane just did that on his own.

Technically we play a 4-2-5. There's never a 3rd linebacker on the field. And realistically Edmunds is a strong safety backpedaling into coverage. So we run a 4-1-6 Tampa2 zone. It only works if you get immediate pressure on the qb. It would take 2-3 years to switch. We need more front 4 pressure. We need less zone and more man press (30%).

I think 99% of fans realize this. As you accurately said earlier this is an offensive league with rules that further favor the offense. We desperately need a WR2 and OL overhaul. Ben Johnson would be amazing for this team. The strategy from Day1 should've been surround Josh with excellence. And other than Diggs that didn't happen.

Beane rarely selects olineman because he's being pressured by his boss to select defense. This couldn't be more obvious based on our last several drafts.

It is accurate and until we hire a dynamic offensive minded HC, it will be rinse & repeat every year.

McDermott runs the whole show. He selected Beane, Frazier and Dorsey. The defensive scheme that has failed this team in 4 straight playoffs is his. Yes he's a man of high character, culture and process. But beyond that his actual coaching skills leave alot to be desired. I realize why a small percentage of fans are terrified to return to a drought scenario if he is replaced. But I'm 100x more terrified we'll waste the talents of the greatest qb Buffalo will ever see by keeping him and his failed associates around. But if your happy and content with winning regular season games then he's your Schottenheimer type leader. What's the point of competing if you don't strive for a championship.

I agree. We're not getting an opener or a Thanksgiving game which is great.

Who cares if he gets priced out. You get him free for 5 years.

Outstanding

Exactly....his support system is a joke compared to Mahomes/Burrow. Not to mention some knucklehead coaches. I'll never blame Josh for the lost opportunities of 20, 21, 22. And I'm hardly convinced this regime will fix things.

Op is drunk and the football fans he refers to are his cats.

Exactly....in the playoffs we never ramp it up. We're never physical or aggressive. We have one reliable blitzer in Milano and Leslie rarely calls blitzes. And as far as calling a Cover2 man- up, forget about it. The scheme sort-of works in the regular season with a healthy elite pass rusher (Von). But without him we were toast in the playoffs. Frazier needs to go and the scheme needs to change.

Yeah the more I look at acquiring Mostert, the more it makes sense. Not sure what will happen to Hines but I'm not thrilled with allocating alot of cap space for STers. Pu a return guy/RB and power RB as UDFA's at league minimum.

Tyreek never saw 15-18 targets. This qb duo was always about Kelce. Kelce turns 34 in Oct. I think he'll have 2 more decent seasons. So once he retires Josh will be 28/29. Still well in his prime. We just have to hope Andy doesn't draft a Higgins/Chase combo. That's where we'll get hosed.

Why in God's name should he waste his time playing dodgeball with some 3rd alternate pro bowlers when you can play Pebble with celebrities. And as a golfer for 55 years, a right handed golfer puts very little stress on your right elbow while swinging. Have fun Josh.

Flores will be long gone before McStubborn realizes Leslie is a dinosaur. Really sad for this organization.

When playoffs begin we see Sean struggle against a higher tier of opponents. If he's allowing Frazier to completely call the defensive game plan then maybe that too is a huge issue. From week 3 on the offense just looked off and disorganized. Now all the sports shows including Cowherd etc are saying the Bills have regressed. So back to the drawing board and under the radar.
