SCBills

Well this thread is a depressing read. Main point: With a Top 2 QB, if you don’t make the playoffs, it’s a massive problem.. let’s just make that known. There are no excuses for that. Reasons for worry, and there are some legitimate ones: -Really tough schedule -Tyler Bass zero confidence -LB Room now relying on a 2nd year player, again. Depth is probably fine with the vets we brought in, but the starters obviously took a hit with Milano going down -S Room looks like a disaster right now. In no world should Damar Hamlin be starting for us, and only McDermott seems to think Cam Lewis does anything out there. We knew it might be a downgrade with Rapp/Edwards until Bishop gets up to speed, but it’s probably one of the worst Safety rooms in the league to start the season as we stand. Reasons for optimism: -Kincaid Year 2 -Ray Davis upgrade at RB2 -WR’s with more potential as a group 1-4 than last year. We all want to romanticize Diggs, but outside Shakir, our WR’s were awful last half of the season. One of the worst groups in the league. Wait and See: The lines.. Kromer is one of the best in the league and there is talent on this OL. We all freaked out last preseason and ended up having the best OL of Allen’s career. Defensive Line seems to never make big plays in big moments and we’ll see if that changes, but Austin Johnson is a better DT3 than we’ve had in recent years, Carter provides potential we haven’t had at DT4 and the DE room should be better than last years (if) Von can give us ‘23 Floyd.

Get it!? Because he’s WHITE!!! This guy is so fake. Straight out of central casting to hype up simpletons.

Everybody would. Simmons is a Top 3 Safety. But we don’t exactly have 8M to be throwing around right now. We could get creative, sure.. but not sure it makes sense to do that for a Safety.

Well this thread is a fun read after the Milano news. Either we’re being insanely careful or we need to yeet our training staff into the sun.

I think we’ve got to move on from at this point. At least mentally. If he comes back this season and can get on the field, great. But Buffalo should be in the mode of viewing Bernard/Williams as the LB duo of the future while potentially needing to draft a guy on Day 2 if Williams doesn’t make a jump & we need to make a move for a band aid LB this year.

If we have a healthy Bernard, we probably beat KC. We felt his loss, but the loss of Daquan Jones hurt us much more throughout the season.

Im not necessarily doing that. Im more speaking in the macro sense that what’s happened to this defense injury-wise lately is bizarre and we can’t just act like it’s all freak accidents.

But you can expect undersized players to have more injuries .. you can expect older players to have more injuries / take longer to come back from injury. This is now the third big money guy on defense in the past 3 years to effectively miss two seasons.

What even is he at that point though? Just put him out there after almost two years missed? Whos to say we don’t trade for someone or Dorian Williams grows into the role ala Bernard. I wasn’t expecting a ton from him, but my goodness it’s so frustrating to constantly have big money tied up for guys on defense who aren’t on the field. This stuff doesn’t happen to the Chiefs at this level and is a huge reason for their constant success. It’s also becoming an issue worth asking about to our FO. Is it our training.. the type of guys we draft/invest in… it can’t just be constant bad luck.

If the Bills went into this year planning on Milano being a huge component of the Defense, they’re idiots, tbh. Undersized LB coming off a major injury at 30 years old. From a purely football standpoint, this was a very likely issue to pop up with him at any point this season .. even if he returned to prior form, which wasn’t a given either.

Just feels like Tre White again. A fan favorite, elite when healthy, robbed by injury. Have to think it will likely end the same way as well. Hopefully he can come back for a late season return, but I think the plan this year, and future years, turns to Dorian Williams / maybe Baylon Spector.. even though he has injury issues himself.

Man.. this just feels like the Tre White situation. At some point you’ve just got to move on. Hopefully Dorian Williams has figured out how to not get smoked by every play fake.

The idea that will help Americans is also the one no one can run on because it doesn’t promise us anything .. less spending. We get what we deserve.

Nobody supporting “price controls” on food & grocery has any clue the small margins grocery stores operate on Literally insane policy

What is your point here? This proposal is literally price controls, a socialist response to rising costs, that has failed everywhere it’s been tried. And not just failed, but had dramatic & awful effects on the places where it’s been tried.

She finally released a policy that isn’t Trumps and it’s f***ing price controls.

This is a very fair point

Last half of the season, our WR’s were objectively bad (outside Shakir) Diggs was getting clamped on the regular and Davis runs 3 routes of which maybe he gets open and catches it but probably not. Sherfield gave us nothing. Im not saying we have a top tier WR room, but can they be a version of what Green Bay has? Sure. What we can’t have is no running game and Cook with MVS hands. Because I do think Brady’s offense will feature a lot of easy button throws to guys like Cook.

Not sure why all the hand wringing.. the Bills 1-4 are set. And as a group, it could very well be better 1-4 than last year. Clearly they’re not in love with any of the other guys, plus injuries = bottom of the roster churn.

Fwiw, Bass gets off easy with this fanbase for missing that KC game tying FG, given we all just assumed KC would get the ball and let Butker win it as the clock hits zero anyway. If our playoff defense wasn’t a perpetual dumpster fire, the calls to cut him would be much, much louder.

I’m willing to concede Harris is leading nationally and has the momentum, but polls coming out showing she’s favored on the economy, leading in NC and down 2 in Florida… just, no. It’s getting a bit ridiculous now.

I posted this tweet in exactly one thread. The one you quoted like an angry child.

The polls clearly indicate Kamala momentum, but some of the cross tabs are curious to say the least. Also, fwiw, Republicans have been stacking new voter registrations in PA over Dems by the tens of thousands for months now..

Things are looking bleak..
