We have a hall of fame defensive end currently on our roster. People can laugh about that all they want, but Von had 8 sacks through 11 games prior to injury last year. Before that, he was averaging 10+ sacks every year. That's rare and he will be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Let's hope he comes back at full strength next year, or even close. The book isn't closed on that yet.

Best WR draft in years and we need a long term solution for both #2WR and #1WR. .... and you guys want to spend big money in Free Agency?

Poyer and Hyde were not superstars when they joined the team in 2017, as I'm sure you know. Hyde was learning a new position. Poyer underperformed in Cleveland. Babich was Assistant Defensive Backs coach in 2017 and moved to Safeties coach in 2018. You really don't want to attribute any success to him? Tremaine Edmunds underperformed for most of his time in Buffalo. Matt Milano was great, but not known as the best OLB in the league prior to 2022. Babich moved to Linebackers coach in 2022. The result was an All-Pro season for Milano and by FAR Edmunds best year as a Bill. Is that not enough for you? How about Terrel Bernard blossoming into a stud MLB under Babich? Or Tyrel Dodson turning into a legit starter after Milano went down, after doing nothing the 3 previous years with the Bills? Klein coming in off the street and having a great game vs the Steelers when the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd OLB went down? Is that all luck as well? Babich might not turn out to be a great defensive coordinator, but success has legitimately followed him at every position he's coached with the Bills.

I'm going to give an answer that many will not like. The answer is we're spoiled. We expect a touchdown on every drive. We compare Josh to Mahomes and act offended when he doesn't make every throw effortlessly. There are games that we could not be stopped. Those definitely exist. There are games that KC can be stopped. Same for Detroit and whichever team/game you want to cherry pick. 361 yards for KC, 368 yards for Buffalo. We just had a few bad drops and KC made big plays when they had to. Both teams are lacking pass catching talent. Theirs just made the big plays that we didn't. End of story. Not more complicated than that.

This is a better question to ask after the Chiefs game. If Chiefs can beat them, we probably could too. As frustrating as it sounds, similar roster construction. Lack of receiving threats, good tight end, good run game, strong defensive line but suspect secondary and second level.

Here's a list of guys who won Coach of The Year the past 15 years: - Brian Daboll - Mike Vrabel - Matt Nagy - Jason Garrett - Ron Rivera - Ron Rivera (again) - Marvin Lewis - Mike Smith Swear to god. Look it up. All of these awards are a joke. It's usually a popularity contest for who is the flashiest... so, Josh will win one. Plenty of time.

The Bills beat the Chiefs 3 out of the last 4 times they played each other. All on the road. In the one loss, the Bills scored a TD to go ahead with 13 seconds left. If Beane hasn't proven to you yet that he built a team that can beat the Chiefs, I don't know what to tell you. Will stupid fans panic if the Bills lose Sunday and say we'll never beat the Chiefs along with other needless, dramatic, crybaby statements? Yes.

are .... you trying to tell us something?

I know, they should have targeted one of the several all-pro Punters available in week 18, who also have holding experience with Bass.

Don’t need a punter if you score every time

He's been in-line to get the job for years? He's 37 years old and got his first coaching gig as Inside Linebackers coach in 2019.

A few thoughts, based on your responses: - Kaiir Elam is 22 years old in his second season, and has never played in a zone-heavy defense in his life. Calling him TBD is accurate. Perhaps we shouldn’t throw him out in the same scrap heap as AJ Epenesa, Terrel Bernard, and Spencer Brown. - Complaining that Beane will “probably sign Gabe Davis” without knowing anything about the contract or intent is ridiculous. Yes, they “love him” and he’s a team captain. They also “loved” Tremaine Edmunds and he was also a team captain. Beane could give you guys a million dollars and you’d still complain that you need to pay taxes. Jesus.

Sorry - you were right about everything. I'm sure many others were also right about everything. Must feel awesome.

Thought it might be interesting, as we head into the playoffs, to discuss a few times in recent seasons that we were all wrong and Brandon Beane was right: - "Wrong Josh" - don't you wish you had Josh Rosen right now? - "Undersized LB" - letting Tremaine Edmunds walk and replacing him with a tiny LB in Terrel Bernard?? Disaster! - "Pay Shaq! Pay Phillips! Pay Poyer!" - Beane let all of them walk and all of them came back on cheaper contracts. - "Don't pay Ed!" - Remember your reaction when you saw the big Ed Oliver contract? - "Another RB who can't handle a full workload!" - Cook is way too small to ever be a true lead back. - "Pay Gabe Davis" - what a difference a year makes. Wish we locked Gabe up last year at $12M/yr. - "FIRE MCDERMOTT" - this would have been Beane's call, if it happened. I'm sure there are many more, but those are just from the top of my head. How about that Rasul Douglas trade? 2022 Draft Class: 1st - Elam - TBD 2nd - Cook - STUD 3rd - Bernard - STUD 5th - Shakir - STUD 6th - Benford - STUD 7th - Spector - Possibly good depth! 2023 Draft Class: 1st - Kincaid - STUD 2nd - Torrence - STUD 3rd - Dorian - TBD 5th - Shorter - TBD 7th - Broeker + Austin - our team was too deep to keep them Beane has been en fuego. Do you have any others?

I hope he coaches somewhere else and continues to show that he's nothing without Brady.

This post is so much funnier if you read it in a thick Italian accent 🤌🏼

Any Given Sunday. We’ve seen great teams lose to bad teams all the time. It doesn’t make the head coach awful. Basing any full conclusion on one game ridiculous. McDermott showed enough to get the Bills to the playoffs. He’s safe. We’ll see about next year.

Here's an idea... How about comparing Dalton Kincaid to other Rookie Tight Ends, as it's one of the slowest developing positions. Dalton Kincaid: 66 Receptions, 589 yards, 2 TD Travis Kelce (didn't play rookie season): 2nd year -- 67 receptions, 862 yards, 5 TD George Kittle Rookie: 43 receptions, 515 yards, 2 TD Mark Andrews Rookie: 34 Receptions, 552 yards, 3 TD TJ Hockenson Rookie: 32 Receptions, 367 yards, 2 TD David Njoku Rookie: 32 Receptions, 386 yards, 4TD Zach Ertz Rookie: 36 Receptions, 469 yards, 4TD Jason Witten Rookie: 35 Receptions, 347 yards, 1TD Antonio Gates Rookie: 24 Receptions, 389 yards, 2TD

Sarcasm, my man.... Sarcasm...

Probably has nothing to do with the story that came out 2 weeks ago that 'Reek has had 2 babies outside of his relationship this year. I'm sure his new fiancé has no problem with this at all.

The only reason I don't like this is we just invested a 1st round pick on one tight end and are spending $15M on another. You've got Shakir and can probably get a nice vet as a 4th option in the passing game. I'm good with spending another 1st round pick on a WR, but another 2nd round pick might be overkill. WR1 - Diggs WR2 - 1st round pick TE1 - Kincaid (1st round) TE2 - Knox ($15M/yr) WR3 - Shakir Do we really need to spend another 2nd round pick? Is that more important than o-line and defense at this point?

I've seen a few other Bernard threads pop up, so might as well bump the OG. Comparison time, just for fun: Terrel Bernard in 2023: 134 tackles 6.5 sacks 3 interceptions 3 fumble recoveries 9 QB hits 10.5 run stuffs Tremaine Edmunds in Buffalo: 121 tackles in his best season (113 avg per season) 6.5 sacks in 5 seasons! 5 interceptions in 5 seasons! 0 fumble recoveries in 5 seasons! 18 QB hits in 5 seasons! 10 run stuffs in his best season Unreal jump in production from Tremaine to Terrel and at a bargain... AND getting a 3rd round comp pick back. Well done, Brandon Beane. Well done, Terrel Bernard!

This isn't correct. The guaranteed money on the contract was incentive-based and he received it each week he was on the active roster. Thus, if he wasn't on the active roster every week (i.e. Injured Reserve or Practice Squad) He doesn't get the money. He restructured his deal to be able to be cut. It's only 1 game, but the statement that his contract was fully guaranteed week 1 is false. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-york-jets/dalvin-cook-21782/

You called this guy out for saying "physics has at least proven that the observer can influence the outcome of an experiment just by observing." His statement is correct. You falsely attributed it to the Schrodinger's Cat experiment. All of the rest of this "desire for one particular outcome" and "subatomic or macro level" talk is window dressing for your own narrative... which nobody cares to debate. The man's statement was correct and if his hypothesis is simply "wow, there are a lot of unknowns in the universe, so let's think positively" then you shouldn't be attempting to correct him in that regard, either. Now we're both done.

If you're going to go full nerd on a guy just for saying "physics has at least proven that the observer can influence the outcome of an experiment just by observing" then you should at least try to be right! The double-slit experiment did exactly this: https://plus.maths.org/content/physics-minute-double-slit-experiment-0 And before you try to nerd ME, nobody is asking whether this is applicable at a subatomic or macro level. His statement was simply that it exists and it does. The rest of the laws of physics are irrelevant. Now, lets both crawl back into our holes and let this fun thought-experiment thread continue.
