lol we have been past the process for two years now. it is SB or bust which is why every loss is a meltdown, every crappy win is chaotic after, and only wins by two scores satisfies the masses.

That sentiment is what pretty much everyone including national media has said. Just because you have this incredible ability to do wonders does not mean you can or should all the time, there is a level of moderation and live to fight another day. Up 13-3 with the Jets doing nothing on offense Allen at no point needed to go superman. I really hope this is the grand lesson for good for him because if he can eliminate the major brain farts he will have more seasons like 2020 vs the last two which he still was incredibly good but had games like last night.

lol Colts was a colossal implosion across the board that game was not just Josh.

He actually completed nearly 75% of his passes last night. Palmer helped with his throwing motion and becoming a better more fluid passer. That does not alter his bonehead decision making unfortunately lol

The Pegula's went from having a crappy product that was nationally a doormat, didn't make the playoffs, and overall joke to one of the nationally relevant teams that has won a lot with star players like Diggs and Vonn willing to come here. Winning the SB is incredibly incredibly difficult and is a mixture of luck, timing, and a good team. The best franchises have owners who hire smart people and proceed to stay the F out of it and do not get involved. The same remarks you made about Beane and McD have been said countless times by people in other markets right up until they won a SB. This is a clock on both but they haven't even lost the division crown yet let alone missed a playoff appearance so I would expect the Pegulas to still give a lot of leash. Truthfully if I was an owner I would also. Now in two years if it is still pure regression then yea I would expect new faces heading into 2025. But the Eagles for two decades plus now have been a model franchise owner Jeffrey Loria and have a total of one SB win and three appearances. They have won a lot and the greatest criticism they have gotten was firing Andy Reid as he "couldn't win the big one"... OR maybe now that he has a better QB you see what quality coaching can do. Again winning the crown is tough, the Bills blew it four times when they had it in the 90s. That will hang forever over the franchise until they do win a title and it no longer matters. The Bills also will most likely not be getting four shots at it either so when it comes embrace it and hope we finally get our time.

The d-line is going to be a force and by seasons end top 3 in the league. I think fans are in for a ride with the line like the 2014 group fingers crossed injury wise. Let Groot and Floyd eat and mix Von and the rest carefully in as they go. 2. I am not as upset with Dorsey as some. This game was on Josh forcing plays and not taking what was given. I liked the attempt at yac, the screens, and Knox/Kincaid together in the middle should eat yards as the season progress. Brown sucked, but the rest were fine and Torrence looks great to have. I am willing to give Dorsey some time, I just need him to get Josh to chill more. A RT trade would be lovely though at the deadline.

Agree and it is why I said he has regressed or peaked in a sense like you said. At his best 2020, 21 playoffs, 1st half of last year he is patient and just waits before striking. Right now he feels more like a super improved 2019 version that is reckless but more boom then bust. Fine for regular season but it is fire come post season. Maybe it is his final learning to complete his growth OR maybe it is who he is. I have said forever that he will get them to a SB, but after that and how many more chances really depends. Play like yesterday makes me think he gives us one incredibly hot ride through a post season and we have a bunch others that go sideways.

Nope actually he was very average. The following week against WSH he went vintage Josh and tore them to shreds.

Agree to a degree here. For the first time since 2019 I looked and said "well I know when he is good we can win a lot with him BUT he has to play in himself more". Right now I feel he has regressed back to being a top 10-12ish guy who when its good its good, but you can frustrate him into mistakes. 2020 Josh was special because he played the entire year within himself and didn't force the ball or mistakes that we have seen creep back for the last two years. The last three years the roster basically was able to be invested in without removing pieces, this is the first year where while draft additions were made some actual attrition has occurred and the core has aged so it is on Josh to a degree hold a high standard. Additionally the division even with Rodgers out is a real challenge as Miami looks ready to go, NE has a competent OC, and the Jets just took one of two PLUS the AFC itself even if the Jets fall away is really good. The Jets game in 2020 I loved because it was a six FG game, but Josh just took what he had and did not force it. You will not win every week bombing 30+ pts as much as Josh and we all want to. The most maddening thing last night was the 2nd INT for me. 2nd and 13 at the Jets 41 up 7 and the Jets on offense were not doing anything threatening. He could've done a dump off, could've thrown it away, could've done a lot of things to give a 3rd down so at least your in FG range and if nothing else can make it again a 10 pt lead. He did the single worst thing possible and threw into double coverage. That was a killer and the same on the 3rd INT where again a forced pass when we needed 2 yards to just go and keep moving the ball where a FG wins it basically. Josh will have more good games then not, but he basically averages 2-4 games a year like this where he gets way out of whack and it costs them dearly outside of 2020 where he was perfect in that regard. This year the rope for mistakes is far shorter for the division and the playoffs even with the AFC more competitive then it has been. He has to regain that patience and willingness to take the shorter easier plays then constantly going for the homerun or big play. Most teams don't have the Jets defense either, but it doesn't matter if you keep forcing it as they will bait him. Right now and going back into last year a bit I think the talent and ability is there for him top be a top 3 guy, but the performance is not at that level right now. Kincaid and Knox looked really good last night and I feel if he can attack more with them in middle like he use to with Beasley you will see more of his patience return a bit. Overall I absolutely believe he can and hopefully will lead the Bills to a title, but some mental adjustments and scheme to lock what made him what he did best are needed if you want his best version, otherwise prepare yearly for a bunch of games like this and a top10 guy not elite top3.

Narrative on Buffalo will not change until they either make the SB OR lose in playoffs OR were to miss the playoffs. The 1st scenario would show progress, 2nd would show they are the same as last few years, and 3rd would justify the regression talk. Truthfully the pressure is on the Jets given the hype and build up with Rodgers. Outside of a shootout style loss like 31-30 or something where at Rodgers looks real and fans can be excited that the offense looks real and they just lost a good game to a good team, the narrative would get tough quick on NY if they do not win.

I have not seen it so lock it up and redirect if so. Bills 25 Jets 19 Weird weird game with a safety for the Bills, Jets moving the ball but stalling for FGs instead of TDs, and a failed hail mary for Rodgers late as WNY holds their breath. Bills jump out to an early 7-0 lead courtesy of Allen to Davis on a slant, but Rodgers gets back to back FG drives to get Jets within one mid 2nd quarter. A punt return miscue pins the Jets on their goaline and Buffalo gets the safety and the ball but the Bills have to settle for FG and go up 12-6. Rodgers leads the Jets for a TD drive right before half sending the NY faithful into a frenzy and the Jets up 13-12 at half. The Bills get a Tre White INT, but have to settle for a FG go back up 15-13. The teams trade FG drives and Buffalo enters holding a tight lead 18-16 in the 4th. Allen guides the Bills on a drive to start the 4th and gets a screen pass TD to Cook to give the Bills a 25-16 lead. The Bills defense holds the Jets to a 3 and out but Harris gets stripped on the next possession forcing the Bills to hold Rodgers to a FG and a tight 25-19 lead. Buffalo does its best to run, but Rodgers gets the ball on the Jets 30 with 27 seconds left and gets the ball to midfield. The hail mary attempt falls short and the Bills walk out with the W. Allen 20-29 247 yds 2 TDs 42 yds rushing on 5 attempts Cook 67 yds 14 att 35 yards rec Diggs 7 rec 98 yds

these boards motivated me... to no longer make predictions

It is not talked about enough in terms of roster creation and streamlining a team how Parcells is the GOAT by a country mile. No one has done as many reclamation jobs with the success record he has.

Weird and Corny. He almost forced this image that came off incredibly unbelievable and not genuine. He used to be one of my favorite players and yea idk what happened. This is where I am. I think he can be serviceable to decent with a competent coach who is very good with scheming offense. Pre injuries I had the Broncos as a sneaky WC team, but it would be kind of impressive at this point given the hits they've had.

I personally liked that time Bledsoe ran a 7 yard bootleg but that is just me

Too big a superstar

Don't over extend yourself

Thanks to SPECTRUMs stupidity I am now savings 50-60 a month with SLING without losing anything I had prior. Good job guys!

Haha that game is lucky that after 17 years it was a nice change over the alternate, but dear god that game was hot doo doo

It's true their toast. Josh is past his prime, Diggs wants out, half the players hate chicken wings, and Damar is a clone

The Big D O... I will leave now lol

Were on to 2024!

This is the most honest and correct response in a while. I have thought since 13 seconds manyyy fans believed that was our "title (even though we still needed to beat the Bengals who did beat us at home and than actually win the SB) and last year was the built up of that feeling that it was our time or owed. Once it didn't happen everything you brought up came out all at once and is what keeps being exhibited any time things are remotely not great over the last bunch of months. I think more fans frankly need to just do what you did and have the honest convo of this is annoying and I wish we could break through.

Tasker is employed by the Bills and ex player. I have found players tend to be less critical then outsiders who never played as they know the preparation and work that goes into everything. Additionally I think he as invested in the Bills winning a title finally as the team itself because if they finally get a ring it kind of closes the door and heals the job they couldn't finish. Tasker is at times a good listen and other times state radio, but I attribute much of that to the fact he was an ex-player and the vast majority of us have never seen .001% of what he has in terms of locker room and the game itself. Also remember Chris Brown has gotten in trouble for being critical a few times past the normal line, so in sense they do play off each other. On the flipside to kind of defend Tasker I have found fans this entire off season from the moment the clock went 0:00 against CIN to be overly harsh, pessimistic, and unwilling to consider some doses of reality that last years team was in fact quite good, the offense while being up and down in the back half was also quite good, and having a teammate nearly die after a world wind of obstacles throughout may finally have just hit the team at the worst possible moment. I do not think anyone on the team coach or player would say the CIN loss was acceptable or make an excuse or deny areas they could improve. Also the Bengals are a very good team, good teams beat good teams believe it or not despite what most fans want to believe. The freak-out over a preseason game vs PIT that means nothing, in a game they didn't game plan for, and more or less just working different personnel through has bordered on the point of comical. I will say this the Dorsey criticism is misguided at him and to me goes to McD. Heading into 2022 they said no excuses even though it was year 1 for Dorsey and virtually no 1st year 1st time OC has made a SB. Then after the season it turned into he will grow from year 1 and be so much better. I buy he will grow, but their basically covering themselves by now saying he was new.

He is also still looking for the murderer!
