  1. Amen! Best mindset to have. 👍
  2. I've never been sold on Edmunds unfortunately. He was supposed to be this stud LB that would anchor the group for years to come...a Patrick Willis type if you will. He's above average in coverage when the rest of the DB's are healthy, but he's not consistent game to game. Oliver isn't the Aaron Donald type DT he was so often compared to. That much is obvious. Don't know what can be done about that at this point, but it seems the scouting department/coaching staff needs to utilize their picks better. Our drafts really haven't yielded many hits aside from Tre, and that was technically when Whaley was still in office instead of Beane right? As long as Allen pans out, we ultimately still win in the long run. But as long as the Packers have had Aaron Rodgers, how much has their drafting throughout his tenure really helped him? We don't want that situation (tbh, I may just be forgetting some solid early round picks from them, but I just can't think of any).
  3. Yes, he's pretty good. Better than some other QB's that won Super Bowls off the backs of their defense & run game. So, yes. He's got enough talent & skill, along with enough proficiency in the system he's in right now to play above his weight class. "Pretty good," is right on point.
  4. I can see how it came off that way, but just trying to put a bit in perspective and keep the light shining. Team is far from dead is all. And yeah, people underestimating the Titans was dumb. But you know when the Bills get a few wins hype gets to 100% fast, coupled with the Titans/COVID coverage, people severely overlooked what could happen tonight.
  5. I'm not trying to make excuses, just explaining that this wasn't some season-defining, team-warping loss that fell out of the sky, and that the Titans are a seriously good team. That is all. Our injuries weren't to insignificant players. They were to some of our absolute best players on the team. The Titans were 1 win away from a Super Bowl appearance last year, only losing to the eventual Super Bowl winners. They're obviously still that same top-tier team. But yes, I agree 10-6 could be the final record for this team. I would like to reiterate that 10-6 this season is far more impressive than 10-6 last season.
  6. I'd say a C+ would be generous. That's not to say he won't rebound, but today was not an above average game...not unless we're grading him on a 2019 scale.
  7. And my professional opinion is Allen is A-OK still 😉 So is Leslie Frazier. So is Brian Daboll. Let's look at this situation for what it really is: 1) This is the NFL. Even the best teams have bad games. 2) This is the NFL. Even great QB's have bad games. 3) We were missing our best CB in White 4) We were missing a key offensive weapon in 1,000+ yard receiver & deep threat John Brown 5) We were missing Matt Milano...someone we desperately need to fortify the LB corps 6) Our DT's have been suspect all year, and as I say each week, Star is missed 7) This might be the most important thing to remember, the Titans are a VERY GOOD TEAM. On top of the other inactive players, injured, IR or otherwise, we were going to lose at some point. The Titans made it to the AFC Championship game last year, we were playing on the road (and for the first time, seems the limited crowd noise provided some semblance of home field advantage), and the team wasn't up to the task. TODAY. Yes, the Titans were limited as well & had less practice time due to COVID, but the NFL is weird. The rest could've done them some good, they had a lot to prove, the Bills could've came in overconfident, etc. Allen made some bone-headed mistakes, but so did others. Dropped passes, inability to cover the middle of the field, and our Achilles heal under McDermott - our poor play & lack of adjustments after half, penalties, poor special teams play (though Bojorquez was nailing his punts), etc. all of which contributed to the results tonight. Lesson hopefully learned. I don't expect our defense to suddenly play great again until the personnel required has returned, but I also don't foresee Allen resorting back to this type of play after the progress he's made this year. So chin up Bills fans, our schedule is a LOT more difficult than the cake walk we had last year. If we finish 10-6 with this schedule, it's 100 x more impressive than 2019. /this concludes tonight's Ted Talk
  8. Beasley. Then again, Beasley is always under utilized unfortunately. He could justifiably be a larger portion of our offensive gameplan every game, but it seems like either McDermott, Daboll or Allen forget about how versatile & reliable he is week in & week out.
  9. No. Fans blaming coordinators any time on-field execution goes bad is so cliché at this point. Haven't we learned our lesson yet? Every year we always blame the OC...whether it was Manuel or Tyrod or Allen, didn't matter. EXECUTION and PERSONELL matter, and no coordinator can just make miracles happen. Why does McDermott get all the praise when the D is top 3, but when our injury-ridden, personnel-lacking D plays poorly (in a season where scoring has gone up dramatically across the league), it's now the DC? Again, no. We know Frazier can coach. We need healthy players & better execution.
  10. Allen needs to be quick and decisive this drive and not come out trying to do too much. A bad sack or forcing into triple coverage again could kill us. Too bad our run game isn't helping him much right now.
  11. I'm not sure how... Waste more 1st round picks to on bad scouting? We need more DB depth, Star to return and literally any large body to take up space in the middle lol.
  12. Let's just take a forfeit win & get our guys healthy
  13. If Allen keeps playing at this level, I want an indoor stadium ASAP. We'll be watching him throw 70 yard bombs for the next 10+ years with ease
  14. Wasn't he playing the opposite of that his first 2 years? Always felt he was better in coverage, weaker against the run.
  15. Oliver was constantly compared to Aaron Donald... Either he got complacent, was overrated playing college in Houston, or just doesn't fit McDermott's D.
  16. Wait, Brady threw for 5 TD's & won today? Ew...gross.
  17. Lol the funny thing is they're making it seem like our defense is doing really well. Holding them to only 29 rush yards, yay!
  18. I feel like this is the story around the league for whatever reason right now. Maybe a full offseason & preseason make that much of a difference? Beats me.
  19. When your receivers make catches like that, hell yeah! That's one of the most hyped up I've gotten for any play so far this year.
  20. Beasley is f'n clutch. I feel like I need to get a Beasley Jersey just out of sheer respect.
  21. Because you've got Bills PTSD. More likely to fumble if anything though lol
  22. Even if they convert the 4th, at least we made a 3rd down stop.
  23. Seems like a lot of people are beating White this year without a pass rush 😕
  24. I think people have underestimated what Star meant to the D-line. I know it's more complex than just that, but to say his loss isn't being felt would be an understatement.
  25. That stat... 74% completions for the season is only good for 4th this year? Wtf is going on...
