They just lost their best defensive player for the year and one of their only two big FA acquisitions for the year in back to back weeks, at the same position group, which happens to be the 2nd most important group on the field after QB.
That's light years beyond the "part of the game" expectation.
I don't agree. He's good but we can move on without him

Why wouldn’t you punt it there?
Because if he makes it the game is out of reach

I know we have a good Team but sometimes it just feels like we don't go the extra mile to be better. How is it that Philly for example always makes moves to try to be better?
Making moves does not mean the team gets better.

The one thing Maye has over Allen is a lethal deep ball. He was dropping buckets the entire day.
I am confident this is far from correct. The fact that Allen doesn't throw it deep is not because he can't. Game control is the name of the game. Allen is much farther in the maturation process. Pats won't go deep in the playoffs because this will be an issue

For no game action until now?Great.
Hancock making a couple plays also. Promising signs!
Was he starting? Also curious if Hancock started at safety

Anybody watching the game, can you say how Hairston and the two suspended players look?
-
Only college roster I would change for this one is 2001 Miami Hurricanes. NFL Pro Bowl roster up and down the lineup

In terms of potential seriousness of his injury, I really didn't like that he was put on injured reserve immediately after suffering the injury at practice. There seemed to be some rumblings from posters that his injury could be career threatening, but I hope that was uninformed speculation and I don't remember seeing anything from a reliable news source about it.
Lack of information doesn't make me feel good about it. Buffalo's MO is to keep bad news quiet either indefinitely of until it's confirmed. Reminds me slightly of Hyde. Either way something weird is happening with the training staff as the injuries continue to pile up

They might move him. But not to us. We don't need Edge. It's like I said all off-season, you could get Myles Garrett and with our CB's, Safeties, LB's, and our scheme that's been figured out - it wouldn't matter. The balls out too quickly for them to get home. For example, Joey Bosa is getting consistent pressure. It doesn't matter with what we've got behind him:
We have Michael Hoecht coming to us after the Bye. We've got Joey Bosa and Groot. You think we're moving Groot who we just paid 80m to coming off the bench? Hoecht as our 4th DE after the contract we gave him? We haven't had a single injury at DE, we're good there. We've had 3 injuries at DT and I don't even think we need to make a move there.
With all the problems we have at WR, CB, S, and LB - going balls to the wall for Hendrickson would be ridiculous. If you can pull off Hendrickson, you can pull off multiple pieces where we actually need help.
I also think CB won't be something needed as long as we get healthy soon with Strong or Hairston. Safety needs to be addressed immediately other positions we just need to get healthy. If Palmer is gone long term get a field stretcher.

He was lined up in the neutral zone. Look at his hand. It’s on the black line. You can see the flag fly well before the fumble. I agree it was ticky tack, but it was a foul.
The weak PI call on White was worse. There was a play a few plays later where there was more contact than that between Coleman and Falcons dude, no call. It’s the inconsistency in PI and holding that drives me nuts.
black line is far from official but honestly we never see down the line on this play

It's so sad these threads appear after every loss. If the league is fixed as some seem to believe, why would you bother watching?
This game was much better than last week with officiating but how in the world does the first play get called Offside when it is not an obvious call? Still don't understand it. The tackle on Palmer was not a true hip-drop but certainly looked dangerous as he was dragging Palmer's legs into an odd position. The league seems to figure out when to call penalties on us at the worst possible time and sometimes we can overcome it but not last night with our receiver corp decimated

It's not fouled logic.
You are the one with fouled logic. Saying because a guy had 150 yards that somehow implies he wasn't picking us apart is ridiculous. That's the most illogical statement there can be.
The point of bring up the running numbers is to show you they didn't need to do it all through the air. These Qbs destroyed us every time they had to.
I believe you now lol. Yes 150 yards all game I consider keeping a QB contained. If we could do that every week sign me up. Feelings don't have anything to do with facts and you are letting your feelings dictate. 400 yards, I'll even give you potentially 300 yards would be considered picking us apart but come on 150 yards in a game.
8 minutes ago, DrDawkinstein said:I like all this and most of it is doable, even if it doesnt happen.
The one thing I cant see happening is bringing in ANY additional players given our cap situation, let alone trading for one. How do we make that Olave trade work at all?
And then we'll have an early playoff exit and be wondering what these chumps are doing. Again.
10-3 in the regular season with Josh is meaningless at this point. Super Bowl or bust.
I don't disagree other than I'm not sure Babich is the issue on defense. I haven't seen anything better on defense since before McDerm. My take is we are too small and starters are getting injured too much plus zero difference maker DBs anymore

Yes, pick us apart. Did you watch the games? The Saints had 189 rushing yards against us. Rattler picked us apart in those yards.
Mami rushed for 130 and Tua picked us apart.
The Falcons had 210 rushing yards and Penix picked us apart.
What are we even doing here?
Are we talking RBs or QBs? I know you want to prove your point but talking about QBs picking us apart and not even reaching 150 yards is fouled logic. 100 percent agree our run defense is garbage but it's never been great. Side note if Miami only ran for 130 yards that not a horrible team stat. Bijan torched us last night though.

I certainly don’t. Coleman has given Josh nothing since the ravens game.
Something is going on with him. Was benched last game for a series. Seemed nonchalant when asked about it, albeit that is what’s expected. Just seemed like he didn’t care.
Hate the pick. There is something with Beane where they can't make great first round picks but nail the rest of the draft. Elam in the first and Benford in the sixth, who should be the starter. It's maddening we picked Coleman and not McConkey. Everything I understand about the two players is McConkey would have been more of a McDermott guy too.

1. The defense is absolutely trash. There is no question it is poorly coached at the moment and dreadfully called. But the players can't execute the most basic stuff either. Babich has to go. I don't think that is a silver bullet but the not being lined up right on 3rd down in the redzone type stuff has only been a feature since he has been in charge. He is in over his head. Fire him and make McDermott directly accountable for improving the defense.
2. That said there is some Brandon Beane blame there too. Bishop is trash. Williams is worse. Tre White is washed. Rapp is a backup out of his depth. And extending Bernard was a mistake.
3. On offense, Brady isn't faultless - the Falcons never stopped James Cook. He had 4.3 ypc at half time and yet had only 7 carries. He ended at 5.1 ypc on 17 totes. I don't care about load management he is our only weapon. He has to get the ball. Last week and this we have gotten away from him to put the game in the hands of bad receivers. It makes no sense. I don't want to be a run first team but with this roster we HAVE to be.
4. Josh was crap last night. I didn't think he played poorly last week really except for the pick but last night he was bad. The ball never quite seemed to be coming off his hand right and then he got frustrated and was pressing and it spiralled. But I do not for a minute put this on Josh because......
5. The ineptitiude on offense isn't really on the OC or the QB. It is on the General Manager. He thought Keon Coleman was worth the 33rd pick. WRONG. He decided to spend his cap dollars on mid range FAs lile Samuel and Palmer. WRONG. He vehemently and aggressively defended his total under prioritisation of receiver by blaming radio guys in the spring. WRONG. Teams are basically bracketing Shakir, manning up everywhere else and daring our receivers to win and not a single one of them can. Yes I hated Brady going back to the gimmick sweep play, but he is running gimmicks because he knows what you know, what I know and what Josh Allen knows. In conventional drop back offense his skill guys cannot get open. And that is on talent. And that is on the GM.
6. That is as bad a Bills performance as I can remember since the Peterman meltdown in San Diego. Pathetic. McDermott is squarely on the hook for the defense and as I say I'd make him directly accountable for that the rest of the way. Brandon Beane is on the hook for the offense. I think everyone (possibly except Pegula) believes the extension of their tenures should be a year to year decision at this point. They will be evaluated at the end of the season but right now there are more black marks than credit points on both ledgers for 2025. Both seats should feel boiling hot.
I agree with everything except about Palmer (I think he is a very good signing, in fact him getting injured changed our whole offense) and your number six. I have seen much worse than this, Ravens last year and Colts 3 years ago. Those were complete defeats on both sides of the ball. This was bad but honestly we has a chance to win this game with a few minutes left.

If Coleman was Knox, I’d be happy with that.Coleman is nonexistent. 3 catches for 11 yards last night? What is that?
Worst part about his game? I don’t think Josh believes in him.
Do you blame him?

Excuse are over. They looked horrible against the Ravens at full strength and pulled out a miracle.
They let Tua pick them apart, Rattler pick them apart, Maye pick them apart and Penix pick them apart.
This team is not prepared. This is coaching. It goes well beyond execution.
We looking like a monkey ***** a football out there against NOBODYS.
Do you even understand what KC is going to do to this team in a few weeks?
150 yards is picking them apart? Rattler had 126 yards. Yes Maye had almost 300 yards but over half of it was a very determined Diggs that yes we could not handle. This is an extreme overreaction. As far as KC is concerned they have not looked good at all till the Lions game.

I'm tired of hearing it's the roster. Last year it was the same and we were in the AFC Championship.
Brady surprised people last year, not the case this year. Zero play design and creativity. Doesn't scheme for the talents of his guys. Uses the same plays recycled over and over in a game.
When the offense is forced to be 1 dimensional and has to pass, it's over. I watch Mahomes throw to wide open guys regularly. I watched Penix throw to wide open guys regularly. I watched Maye throw to wide open guys regularly. Not Allen.
Babich SUCKS and should not have made it to D coordinator this year after last season. This unit still can't stop thd run. It's horrendous in zone coverage. Has zero creativity. No exotic looks, no exotic blitz packages and has zero aggression. They look completely unprepared week after week and lack basic fundamentals.
This defense has made Penix look like Montana, Maye look like the second coming of Brady and Rattler look like Drew Brees.
This entire coaching staff is done.
Allen is absolutely being wasted and we will never make it to a Super Bowl with this regime, let alone win it. 🤷
Allen was definitely a big part of the problem last night. As far as the roster, it looked much better when Strong was in the game before getting injured. Unfortunately Tre is always behind receivers and it is hurting us. The Dline actual looked decent last night. As far as wide open receivers whether it's coaching or the players they are just not getting open unless you are Kincaid or Shakir or maybe Palmer. If you want to talk about those other teams Diggs worked hard against us to get open, London is a stud and gets open. Let's not chalk this up to scheme, it's individual effort and losing Kincaid last night was huge, probably the difference between winning and losing.
re-sign McGovern and edwards

Probably this. Torrence needs to be here long term.
