Kincaid and Shakir are the Bills passing Offense, but smart Defenses will plan around that. We can't sit pat with mediocre boundary WRs.
Palmer has more potential to contribute, once healthy. Coleman is a dud. Samuel still has some deep speed, but inconsistent route running.
Gabe might bring back that downfield threat, but not off a torn meniscus.
The O is good, but we need playoff good. And not having a downfield element threat will hold us back

I feel like we are going to get a surprise text at like 4:23.
I don't think it's a WR. I think DT. We always score against KC in the playoffs, we just can't stop them on defense in the playoffs. We saw first hand if we rough up Mahomes, we got it.
They NEED to add a DT with Ed and Hoecht down. Maybe Daquan is on the mend...
A WR would also be nice, but I'm thinking they must have more confidence in Gabe coming back than we realize. Plus Brady just doesn't scheme up much downfield or outside. It's not his game.
CB seems solidified with Max. And Poyer/Hancock combo and Bishop turning a corner have also shored up S

Elijah Moore!
Coleman will be eliminated by McDuffie and I think Spag will game plan to take away Shakir and Kincaid and stuff the run. Moore needs to step up with Palmer out and get some intermediate/ deep routes to give our O another element.

Said it all off-season, I would not have extended Greg Rousseau and Terrel Bernard. At least not until I saw how their 2025 went.
With Bernard, he regressed in 2024 and he's started to show a penchant for getting dinged up. So far this year, it's felt like more of the same. He makes a big play every once in a while, like the Baltimore game. But the only true consistency is that the pass game and run defense beyond the line of scrimmage is terrible.
With Rousseau, if he's so valuable, why have we spent every off-season saying "we need a premier Edge Rusher"? If we want one of them, we have to pay Parsons/Garrett money and that's unlikely to happen while you're paying Rosseau 20m a year on the other side.
I feel as though Beane follows the "Draft, Develop, Retain" mantra too much, to a detriment. We are consistently in a spot every off-season where we're begging for game changers but cannot afford to get them bc we're up against the Cap - retaining too many decent players at the cost of being able to get great players.
People were advocating for going all out this off-season on additions, even if it meant we wouldn't re-sign any of them. I knew that wouldn't happen and that we needed to retain 2-3. But even I didn't think we'd sign *all 5*.
Draft, develop, retain works if you are good at scouting and drafting talent.
Beane is not. And he overvalues his few non-busts, by rewarding them as superstars

Replace Rapp with Poyer? man things are bad.
How about trade for a S and bench Rapp. Cole has the range and poor tackling ability that better fits a deep FS.

Sorry to be Captain Obvious... but Josh Allen is... we unfortunately do not have a defensive emotional captain at all... Like a Kyle Williams as I stretch to think would would have been an effective emotional leader after him... Maybe Poyer and Hyde... the result on the defense is obvious... they play like a lethargic, rudderless pack of looney tunes cartoon characters chasing a rabbit they wont ever catch... running over each other in the process... time to stop trusting the process...
two other points you made I agree with....
Keeping Samuel or whomever over Hollins was a mistake... this guy to me is a greater than the sum of his parts example you put in a book
I have started wondering if all of these commercials has started to erode JA17s focus... I am not saying it has... but it has happened to more than 1 player out there...
Bernard is the D's emotional leader.
The D's problem is lack of talent

I do wonder if the stacked boxes and heavy blitzing are what is causing the issues? If you have WR's on the boundary that are being left on islands 1 v 1 on the outside and you have 3 LB's 4 DL and a safety high up in the box plus a safety creeped up over the top is there much an o-line can do?
I think that's exactly what we're seeing. There is no need to play D past 10 yards as the Bills rarely attack that far down the field and don't have the outside WRs to do so, especially against good man CBs. Bills also rarely have packages with two boundary WRs, so further condenses the D toward the ball and LOS.
You could say on any given play there are 9-10 defensive players near the LOS. Add in some creative blitz calls and that's a rough day for the Oline and Allen.

Screw it. 6 OL and Hawes to block. Why didn’t we do that against Atlanta?
That's what I'm talking about!
Atlanta had a mean pass rush, so we should have run it down their throats!
3 minutes ago, NoName said:I did find it interesting that Alec Anderson replaced McGovern instead of SVP.
That's a good point and maybe part of why they don't want or risk him as 6th OL. They need him as the main backup.

What happened to the 6 OL package that the Bills used to such fanfare last year?
Has Alec Andersen been hurt? Has Jackson Hawes surpassed him with the TE pass-catching added advantage?
I thought that package gave us a tougher attitude. Imposing our will on other teams. Yet I don't think I've seen it once in recent weeks.
Hawes has been good, but has he been that good to eliminate the package entirely? -

Looking at the last 5 or 6 drafts, it's even worse than I thought. You should get starters in rounds 1 and 2 and serviceable backups in 3 and 4 and find a gem once in a while later. Beane finds a gem once in a while in the late rounds but the early picks are shockingly bad.
yeah, it's really starting to add up. You can't have so many misses without it affecting the team, ... even with a superstar QB.
He then goes and overpays guys that are solid starters, but not stars

I would’ve fired him last year and signed Ben Johnson. This was a no brainer
I answered no, given how much he's built up this team. But if you have the chance to add an up and coming offensive mind, I would do it.

I actually like our D Line. The back 7 is a mess but I’m not wasting any more resources on a McDermott defense. Trade for a young talented WR like Olave. Even if it doesn’t get is over the hump this year, a #1 WR will be needed next year for a new regime. Get a head start. Give New Orleans Coleman plus a 2nd rounder.
Is Olave on the market? that would be sweeeet

100% agree with OP.
Also no more Shavers on the field. Let Coleman block for the run game.
When Gabe is healthy I hope they cut Shavers and play Gabe as WR#4
What was Shavers' snap count? He's a nice story and all, but why is actually on the field and is that the best we can do?
-
Would never be used. Remember last year when Valdes-Scantling got cut by us and then signed by the Saints to replace an injured Shaheed.... and lit it up?
It's because he fit in to their scheme, which doesn't exist in ours. We have NO downfield game -- both because it's not our HC/OC philosophy and b/c Josh stinks at the deep downfield pass.
-
Pass rush is (still) our Achilles heal.
We need to go all in on finding someone. This year is the year.

But has Hawes and the 3 TE set replaced our Andersen/ 6 OL package? seeing a lot less of that it seems to me

That non-challenge on the Hill bobble catch was a big mistake. They need to review their processes and get it right.

I think they need to evaluate the position each week for matchup.
Bishop was a run game liability, but might be needed for his speed in other games.
Hamlin probably should have started.
Rapp is locked in, but looked horrible.
Sucks they didn't hit with Bishop in the 2nd
-
Looks better than last year so far (which isn't saying much)
Keon has grown in Year 2
Palmer has more wiggle and looks like an upgrade over Cooper/Mack
Shakir is Shakir

Do you expect anything different? Why didn’t we challenge that. Why didn’t the eye bring this up.
instead we rushed a short down try, like we always do. that NEVER works. You don't catch teams by surprise.
Take your time, let the officials review, consider a challenge, draw up a good call. Same crap as always.

This team is toast.
Missing the same ingredients as the last few years.
Timid coaching, bad situational football, D and O schemes do not hold up against top teams.
Questionable talent decisions across the ball (WR, S, etc).

Time for Josh to convince Brady to give him some leash and do what he does.
Can see that Josh still doesn't have the WR firepower to make this O more explosive against better Ds

Someone who has watch some replays, is our DL getting rooted out or are guys not getting in there gaps? Where are the big runs coming from?
It's the same bad play calling against the Ravens. Playing nickel D against their run fronts. DL get blocked and LBs and DBs swallowed up. Also hurts that Bishop is not Poyer. and Strong ain't Tre. Collinsworth called it that Damar might be better than Bishop if they stay in nickel
-
2nd half adjustments....let's go!
Get out of nickel on D please! you can't play the ravens with 5 DBs when they have 2TEs and a pro-bowl fullback, let alone Henry.
And let Josh cook. Stop taking it out of his hands
Dorian Williams in the Hoecht/Lorax role?
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
Solomon is who they tried to have play Hoecht's role before and after.
Dorian could give it a shot, but I don't think he has the strength or arm violence to cause havoc in the same way.
Too bad they didn't get a guy at the deadline. Not sure what other internal candidates there are. Groot supposedly had some interior rush skills coming out
Lorax and Hoecht are also similar in that they started out as big, beefy Linemen and then trimmed down while maintaining incredible play strength.
