It was this moment that I knew deep down we were toast. I always hope for a comeback but I knew this D was just not going to stop them. Not with this type of play. This D has just failed too often. Its not the right scheme for teams like KC and the Bengals. Probably wouldnt stop the Chargers either. Bend but dont break only works on QBs that make mistakes. Elite QBs dont make a lot of mistakes. There are too many resources spent on this defense for it to do this poor of a job. Time to change schemes, coaches, whatever. What it isnt time for is drafting a safety, line backer, DT, DE whatever thinking we are just one piece away from stopping Mahomes. Time for offensive resources to allow Josh to keep up the pace with these teams without having to be perfect just to win a football game.

You are being defensive over nothing. The poster is saying that the team is willing to overlook a guy punching a girl in the face to get a good football player. That is a true statement. The guy punched a girl in the face. The team didnt care and drafted him. He didnt say anything about your team being full of thugs. The poster is practically commending your team for putting together a good football team and you are here taking ***** out of context. There are some people maybe weeks ago, maybe even this this week that were doing what you claim of this post but you chose the wrong post to get all defensive about. Enjoy your win. Good luck the rest of the way. I hope you win it all. Stop being a dick in my house because yes you were being one. Self reflect your post and maybe you'll see it.

Nah we just got out coached and out physicaled. Him being there didnt help or hurt us. I believe him showing the improvement in the hosipital a few weeks ago helped our guys mentally but not yesterday. Im not buying this "we were exhausted" crap either. If you are exhausted then dont play in the NFL. Im not trying to sound cruel here but exhaustion from Hamlin who came through very well, some snow, a shooting while tragic and heartbreaking... those players new none of them personally, and some guys got standard injuries every other team goes through. Again, I am not trying to sound cruel and maybe some will think I am a heartless ####### but I assure you I have a huge heart... thats all stuff they should have gotten over or had no affect at this point of the season to exhaust them. Maybe Hamlin but him pulling through the way he did should have invigorated them, not exhausted them.

Weird that the guy you are telling to F off is a guy saying we need to draft guys like that. Mostly what he means is tough physical guys. We have a tough time against those because mostly our guys are smaller finese guys. We beat the Ravens the last few meetings including this year and Lamar played most of those meetings. Thanks for rubbing salt and saying sorry. Most people in Buffalo will probably root for your team now that we are out. No need to come on our board and be a dick.

Sadly I think someone has to go. It isnt going to be McDermott. With all the resources poured into this defense year after year and watching it be dog**** in the playoffs year after year... something has to change. Josh Allen is not going to will this team to a SB by himself. They need to put resources in offense. Other teams do that and still have a better playoff defense than we have. Either Beane/McDermott is a terrible talent evaluator/drafter, this defense just aint it anymore, or both. Something has to give. I dont want to hear during the off season on how we just need a couple more pieces on defense. That ship has sailed. No other team spends this much on defense and a lot of defenses are way better than ours. I think that this D would have done a lot better with Hyde and Von playing but we cant just fail a season over a couple injuries.

Some linemen and an oc that knows how to design an offense, form a good game plan, and call plays. I would like another stud receiver too but cant do everything in one season. They need to hit on draft picks and stop spending FA money. Especially when they dont have it. Cant keep mortgaging the future and then fail

Nah. Knox was money.

Just the playoffs?

I wouldnt watch football anymore.

McD/Frazier defense is basically force the other team to methodically move the ball down the field without giving up the big play. Then hope either the other team makes enough mistakes to punt/turn the ball over or one of our guys makes a star play. That works against a lot of teams. The problem is it doesnt work against the Bengals/Chiefs of the world. It doesnt work against guys with elite QBs because they dont make enough mistakes. Sure you might get them to punt a couple times. You might get them to kick a couple field goals. At that point its on the offense to outscore the other team. Problem is we dont have enough talent to reliably do that. Allen is not going to play perfect ball like last year in the playoffs reliably enough. They havent figured this out yet.

Yes I know

Bring Poyer back. Sign some cheap decent guys to replace the rest. Focus all efforst on O line and another stud receiver. Its time this team puts its resources where it matters.... on the side of the ball that scores points.

He is venting. Thats what humans do. No big deal. Guy is a winner and wants to win.

Yeah thats what Josh was getting for time for most of the game. Couple that with our receivers being perfectly covered (according to another graph I seen in another thread) you get no offense. This is the type of bad protection Allen dealt with all season long and then people wonder why he "missed that open guy somewhere."

All 3 are elite QBs. It doesnt matter who is marginally better than who. All 3 have different skill sets and things they are better at than the other. The Bills just need to surround Allen with more talent and get an oline that can protect him better. Then they will win a SB. Stop worrying about being this one piece away on defense to beat the Chiefs. That ship has sailed. Other teams are catching up. Its time to be the team that rarely gets stopped on offense and a defense that is just good enough at making a key stop here and there.

They arent trading Diggs. He will be fine and will still be a star here next year. Some of you guys just like to create further drama.

Thank you. I dont get the love affair with Sean Payton. He hasnt done ***** since bounty gate over a decade ago.

On paper I use to think the D line rotation made sense. Its not working in practice. For this type of investment our D line should be getting after the QB like Josh was gotten after yesterday. They went up against a 3rd string oline with one week of practice together. It was probably the cleanest game Burrow ever played in his career and probably their best run game all season. It doesnt work. Scrap that ***** and invest heavily in the offense. I dont care if we have a mediocre defense if our O can score and Josh has time to throw the ball. They want to be a downfield team but they only give Josh barely enough time to dink and dunk. Things need to change or this team wont get past the WC round next season, if they make the playoffs at all.

I dont think anyone gets fired. Maybe it should, I dont know, but I dont think anything changes. This team needs more talent on offense though.

Diggs was double covered on that play. Josh had already come off of him before he got open. There is only so much time, especially with this o line. Josh cant stare him down waiting. Diggs wears his emotions on his sleeve. Not a big deal. He is mad about losing. I want my whole team to be mad. The ones that are complacent and dont give a crap are the ones that shouldnt be here. They need another #1 like receiver that can consistently catch passes. This will losen the Diggs coverage.

Could but only 2 teams make the SB each year. Really only a handful of true contenders. Despite last night our team is actually still one of those. Good luck.

Anyone know when Beane and McD do that end of the season conference thing?

Agree and I posted something similar in the post game thread. They need to stop that too. We dont need a 200 man Dline rotation. Keeping their legs fresh so they still cant pressure the QB all the while Josh has no talent around him. First round corners that barely play 50% of the snaps because they on rotation too now. 2nd round picks apparently with not enough talent to see the field. The only time these guys play rookies is when they are forced to. Imagine Josh had an Oline that could block instead of a 200 man dline rotation that still cant get to the QB. Sigh. I like McD and Beane but premiums are going to waste while we have maybe 3 talented guys on offense.

Was medically cleared last week. Not sure it would have made a difference but could have used him this week no? Its not like he hasnt been practicing and keeping in shape. Its time to blow this team up and spend resources on offense. No more 200 man Dline rotation that cant get pressure on the QB despite having "fresh legs." No more spending 1st and 2nd round picks just to have them sit on the bench. Get em on the field and develop them.

I dont get this fascination with Sean Payton. The dude hasnt done anything in like 15 years and he had Drew Brees all that time. As soon as it was obvious his next project QB wasnt going to cut it he "retired." So you guys want to send premium picks on a retread coach that could otherwise be used to put some talent around Josh. Probably the same people that were banging the table to bring in Gruden out of retirement for years. How'd that work out for the Raiders?
