It’s about establishing a culture of expectation on offense not just defense. Winning by scoring 17-20 points won’t get us anywhere in meaningful games.

So keep them in the game by being conservative??? Seems like a bad strategy to me. The kid isn’t the problem, the attitude that we have to play run first football is. You can control the game with short and play action passing also. The kid can do that. I trust he will turn it over less than Rosen 100% .

Wrong. Winning 14-13 isn’t good enough. He needs to set a tone that we will trounce teams we should trounce at home The best teams go for the throat and keep the pressure on. If we want to be that team we can’t be 4 yards and a cloud of dust and win every game by 7 points.

I would give up next year’s first for Diggs in a heartbeat. The 22nd-26th pick in the draft which we would likely use on an unproven WR or Edge for a 25 yr old WR on a good contract for 4 more years. That’s a no brainer to me. If we were picking top 15 I would feel differently but I can’t see how we fall below 10-6 without major injuries.

McDermott needs to start showing us he has a killer instinct. Miami is the worst team against the rush so he will probably run 70% of the time and make it a 24-13 game. Be merciless and go for the jugular and go open set and put up 21 in the first half and put your foot on their neck like real playoff teams at home would do!!! This game could be 38-13 if we stop playing not to lose.

12-4 and win one playoff win. If we get a WR1 at the deadline we could win the division and get farther.

Never for 2 old guys. Von’s price would set our org back measurably and our defense would be better served finding rush in FA and the draft in the next 2 years. There are younger players to be had with better asking prices.

Tre or Micah are the only legit guys with a shot and only if they get 7 picks. Possible if they can load up on turnovers against the weak teams.

Lack of seam plays. Singletary opens up our wide runs and breaks some of those Gore runs where we get 10 yards instead of 30 yards. Screens. Every one seems to get read and blown up. Why are they that easy to read. Fix it! Lack of deep potential since everyone rolls their safety to Brown. If Foster isn't that guy, they need to get someone who can be that guy...NOW 2nd TE who has an impact. They need Kroft. Sweeney will be on the practice squad when he gets back because he has more drops than catches and hasn't shown much. Lack of Trap Plays. When we run them, they work. Run More. QB Sneaks on 4th and 2.. Bleck!

then blows hammy and is seen on sideline waving a towel........

I already miss Zay Jones...because who will I boo now??? Even the punter hasn't sucked. I'm running out of options. I guess I will have to wait for more Lee Smith penalties now.

This is why we don't win. Be bolder. If we get to 7-1 go for 15-1. Not settle for "we can be a wild card at 11-5 and maybe win a game" mode. We as Bills/Sabres fans always feel like there needs to be a linear winning progression. There isn't. Ask the Philly Eagles. They went from 7-9 to winning a Super bowl.. I am not saying we will win the Super Bowl. I am saying every year we make Brady not win one and Brady feel farther from the top of the heap makes it easier for him to want to retire and for us to get to the top of that heap. Be bold and not just play for wild cards !!! You can be bold without giving away a bunch of picks. New England makes trades all the time and still comes out with a ton of picks. Just don't mess with round 1 and we can do just about anything else. This team has depth and money.

I don’t want another old outside rusher. We need need youth at edge. Kerrigan is a good player but at that price we need youth.

I am all in for 2019. I think you only get so many shots and this year NE’s offense is suspect for once. So if we can get more weapons we can outscore them because they are afraid of our defense. KC showed they aren’t tough but again we will need to score more. Be bold in 2019. I go for Diggs because of age/contract and then Green if you can’t get Diggs. Williams is unlikely because they want 1st rounder(s). None of these players are worth that to our front office IMO. I would also look for pass rush help. We need more outside youth and speed. With Zo leaving, Jerry getting old, Murphy being average and injured often, and Shaq not being a speed rush guy, we need an outside speed presence besides Jerry. I would prioritize that over OT. Von Miller isn’t happening because of his age and the amount of assets it would take.

Yeldon lining up outside must have gotten some pointers from Zay before that play....yikes! That is definitely not on Josh which is exactly what I thought I saw during the game. Both Cole or Dawson could have come back to him to help him out also. B+ is fair, no blatant bad throws, had a few missed reads but was mostly in control all game.

Beat the Pats in December so they have to play here in January !!!!

You forgot Long at guard. On the put away drive Long was knocking people out on those runs. I have to say he impressed me more than Cody has at guard during run plays. Feliciano was smashing people at center and looking comfortable there much more so than I expected. He is more physical versus Morse being more finesse. This team did a great job of evaluating OL depth talent this year.

Diggs would make us division contenders. I would take Green instead of Diggs because he is cheaper but Diggs has a long term contract and youth. We need more playmakers if we seriously want to score more. Counting on Foster and Duke isn’t not going to cut it against Pats and KC. I don’t think we need OL unless we could get Trent Williams for less than a first rounder, otherwise isn’t not enough of an upgrade.

1. Singletary. 2. Because they forgot to throw to the TE in the red zone. No I’m not counting the Lee Smith flip today. I mean making the TE a true ted zone target regularly. 3. Screens

His accuracy is better than expected. His long balls and team approach to throwing deep is worse than I expected. His running is better than expected. His tendency to make bad decisions is right about where I expect it to be after 16 games. The number one surprise is his cool calm demeanor at the end of games. I haven’t seen it in a Bills QB in a long long time. He expects us to pull it out and our team knows it. That matters!

Good first outing for Duke. Let’s see him catch a ball more than 10 yards downfield next. There was scramble drill play I noticed where he was running a post and was well covered, Allen rolls right to buy time and Duke stops but doesn’t comes back to him, otherwise he’s sitting on a 30 yard gain in the middle of the field all by himself. He didn’t come back. For a 27 year old he is still raw. He has the desire and hands to be decent. I would still 100% go get another top wr at the deadline. We can compete for the division with one. Duke is a piece of the puzzle but not a guy that is going to vastly improve our offense.

OK. It’s Mano a mano kick their a time to end the game

Well he hit a hole faster than the old man would have

Finally a running first down.

Three straight runs coming now
