I am never really a fire everyone guy especially over one play. But I will say I wondered aloud in real time given the down and distance presnap what in the heck are they doing before this play. if Tre was a good aggressive tackler maybe he could have stopped him short of the first down but just barely. Tre has been awful hopefully he gets well tjis off-season

I noticed issues with footing but I thought the issue was not the bengals had better footing rather they gameplanned for it. 1. The bills sat in zone where you have to read and react but you cannot with poor footing. Have to play more man. Eventually they did but they were down 14-0. Damage was done. 2. A couple run plays early were east west rather than quick hitters in the middle. Generally they ran it too infrequently. the problem was gameplan not footing….they made the footing a disadvantage by not adjusting to it.

That is important! Not gonna happen though either way.

That does nothing to provide the money.

People wanting to find a clone for everyone is interesting but not actually real. That is good news.

If you say so

Pretty sure Beasley, Brown, Tanner Gentry, Dorsey and probably others have been influenced by Allen.

Yes …I saw a D that limited the opponent to 2.3 yards per play, 190 passing, 40 yards rushing, chased ST all day sacking him 4 times, picking him off….Yes…you blitz to get pressure….Bills have a D scheme that does that in specific situations and it has worked successfully for years…but pretty sure your smell test is the way to go What did you see this week?

I think the 45M is if they cut him. Click the red x on the right. Pre 6/1 trade is 37M and post 6/1 trade is 11.8M dead cap. Post 6/1 is possible but cannot see it happening.

We all know Schotty never won but I think Andy Reed was Schotty 2.0 until he was not

I would have.

I don't think the Bills strength is tough smash mouth in the trenches. But finding a handful of games over three years does not prove they cannot do it. Teams have good games/bad games. I bet I can find a game where the Bills dominated Tennessee or when the beat that Colts team in the playoffs. Maybe I am wrong but I see the schemes yesterday as the problem. Sitting in zone when you cannot cut for two drives on defense.....runnign the ball wide with Cook when you cannot put your foot in the ground at full speed (Cook second drive). Pretty much all passes looking for longer passes. Not running it straight ahead more. I really thought the gameplans were FUBAR.

I know people scream about screen passes and I agree we need them. The problem is Josh is not good at throwing them. Ball placement and pace are critical on screens. If you throw it right at the guy and he has to stop/catch then start again it can blow it up just with a pass that was complete but not well thrown.

Don't disagree with you but this team does not have a history of getting bent over in the playoffs. They are 4-4 and have had 2 OT losses, one loss against a superior KC team and the loss yesterday stands out as unique. I do agree they were out "physicalled" but I really think it had some to do with the gameplans. The weather dictated a certain style and the Bills pretended like there was no weather.

You can smoke in the locker room?

It is the worst app experience. I pull over all the time to reset reload swear repeat

Not so sure he is washed. He looks old and slow because he is banged up bad. Bills will not and should not resign him though.

Diggs trade….not saying one way or the other right now but I took a look and I thought a post June 1 trade leaves a 11.8M dead cap. Not sure I am I interpreting spot rack correctly. Mcdermotts only draft 2017 was pretty good. Tre white Matt Milano Dion Dawkins have all been all pro or pro bowl. Every player is still in the league.

My opinion. They did not game plan for the weather conditions yesterday. They come out playing all zone and watch them get to a 14 point lead before adjusting. They should have known they had to play more man. I understand they are not built for man like they are for zone but they could have put up a better plan. on offense they were handing it to cook on a wide sweep when he had no ability to put his foot in the ground d and cut. They simply did not plan for the conditions. Or really defending him just being pragmatic

That same year they drafted Edmunds and Allen who have made the pro bowl. Saying teller is the most recent is like a twin arguing he is older than his brother by one minute. they have players but no superstars since. But it is also true the bills have the highest percentage of draft picks on the team in recent years.

Jamone knows

He never won a playoff game. Not once

If only the bills played Erie or Rochester yesterday.

That is a panic mentality which is kind of what it looked like.

He hasn’t completed building it yet
