Maybe Edmunds can replace him as an alternative. 🤪

Exactly

Yes he was.

Let's not kid ourselves. We were never really a #1 defense. And other then the last few games, the OL was bad. I saw Ingram throw Spencer to the ground like he was 100 lbs last Sunday. The Jags loss destroyed our season. We host 3 playoff games if we don't lose to Jacksonville. I don't know if Fangio is the answer. It's not likely McD switches to a 3-4. But if Frazier leaves and I'm praying he does, we somehow need better pass rushers and a more aggressive style.

State Farm is one of the NFL's top 3 advertisers. With Brady & Rodgers out, did you really think Mahomes wasn't going to be in the SB. Josh has to talk to his agent and beef up the national exposure somehow.

I agree, just keep signing young offensive weapons as we wait for Kelce to eventually retire. Just prepare for arena football every time we meet.

I like the way you think. Keep McKenzie as your slot. He's younger, faster and cheaper 2yr/8M. Barrios as our returner would be amazing. Then draft another wr as Hodgins will probably be gone.

They're 3-1 because we can't stop 3 players and our coach(s) are game day fools. Josh and the offense have scored 38 & 36 on their defense. The window closes when 87 retires. He'll be 33 this fall. Just gotta keep drafting young offensive weapons and wait.

If we're facing these clowns every year, we better get some consecutive home games. Maybe welcome them in 2024 when Kelce retires.

We're #1 defensively against everyone except KC. 80 points in the last 2 playoff games. Yea that screams #1.

When does KC come to Buffalo during the regular season? 2039? What the hell is the NFL doing? Ya mean what should've been the SB.

The process of stupidity

After watching Home Alone get sacked 9x, yes there's still a pretty good gap between KC's best and Cincy's best. The Chiefs will win comfortably.

I see him getting close to 40tds (passing) and 5000 yards next season. He will be the MVP and we will likely go 14-3. More focused and no loses to teams like Jacksonville. He's a little more than elite. He's a generational superstar. That's why last Sunday hurt so bad.

Pretty ironic my first ever Bills game v the Jets and I'm watching our punter maybe have the worst game I've ever seen in my entire life. How about we go back to basics and train our backup qb to hold kicks.

This should be the strategy. Make a trade and get a good CB or OG. Unless someone offers a 2nd. I just don't know if a 3rd is enough?

Right, Ed played great last week. One of the few defensive players who did. We basically have to build a front 4 around him.

Uh oh, he used the "he's still under contract" reference. That guarantees he's gone. I like Cole and will always appreciate his clutch 1st down catches but age is slowing him down. Not to mention all the vax distractions. I think McK takes his slot spot. And both Sanders & Cole will be gone. We'll likely draft another wr.

This is true. If he's dumb enough to leave a future HOF qb over Trubisky or Jones, then maybe we don't need more dumb coaches on this team.

Perfect comparison!

Until KC drops 30+ on them.

Does anyone on this board think Jim Kelly is better than Josh Allen? JA17 is a generational qb who just played 2 of the most perfect and amazing games in Bills history. And he did it without 6 HOF players. So to answer the OP's question, NO.

Exactly. Our entire season could've been different if we only rout a team we should've annihilated. We would've had KC at home. And even KC players admitted playing the Bills at home would have been a struggle. Losing to Jacksonville is like that missed extra point that you just know will bite you in the ass down the road.

Because in high leverage situations Sean McDermott wets his pants. We saw it in Houston. We saw it last year. Hell we saw Marv do it 4 straight times. It's not all on the players. Coaching matters. An intelligent defensive coach rushed 2 or 3 because he knows Mahomes has to get rid of it Immediately. So the OP is right. Our all pro safeties are playing on the warning track. And our front 4 are basically rendered useless. It's 5 on 5.

How does Bass not know what the situation is and at least ask someone (Farwell, McD) what's going on? Losing a monumental game like that to a mental breakdown between coaches and players is inexcusable.
