Buffalo doesn't have a lot of notable in house free agents this offseason outside of Douglas and Groots 5th year, especially now that they've paid Brown. I don't know that I'd extend Groot now, and Douglas isn't really a must-sign. Overthecap puts us at 12 or so after the draft picks, and Von Miller is the obvious cut candidate with 8m in savings there (or 17 m post June 1). Ed Oliver and Josh Allen restructures are there as well. The necessary big game hunt is still a premiere pass rusher. They don't have one.

Yeah the only negative I would say about Brady is that there were a few times where the plays came in late. The third down late In the game really stood out as one. What stood out is that the offense looked balanced and efficient, Heavy emphasis on successful plays and drives, And putting the ball in the hands of the best player in the crucial moments. In a perfect world I'd like something better than Josh rushing TDs on the goal line, but I won't argue with the point total. The two minute drive followed by the double-dip to start the second half was a game-defining sequence. Snap counts and volume will be interesting because the skill group looks very interchangeable. I wonder how much of who we see is going to depend on matchups.

Exactly. That kick return shouldn't really happen. A lot of the defense was struggling with a highly athletic QB, which continues to be a struggle. DE is the position really missing an impact player. The defense that came out in the 2nd half was totally different than the first half, and they probably put the game away if not for the teturn. I like what Buffalo put out there offensively: run the ball, spread it around, and I think we'll see more downfield in better conditions.

Allen has to get that ball out.

I get the student price Since i'm going to grad school, So yeah.

I think the strategy is correct. Josh Allen is the QB, the 0-line is good, so the next step is build the defense. Buffalo was poorly coached on offense until Brady came in and I Really liked what he did, but McDermott needs to be a better playoff coach. This year, I expect the regular season to take care of itself because that's what McDermott is good at and there are more playoff teams than ever. They should clean house if he can't get them deep into the postseason this year since it's a chance to change the roster.

The issue is that they haven't hit, so on top of all the drafting they gave Von Miller a huge contract too.

2-2 I was in Oakland when Jerry Rice didn't make a catch. I was at the Jeff Fisher fake punt game at the coliseum. I was also at the Peterman game. And I was at this years Charger game.

Since the Bills are keeping McDermott, this is an obvious one to me. Got the same production with less turnovers per game and brought more balance and run game. Reducing the turnovers is how Buffalo can go from 2 seed to 1 seed next year.

I would have let McDermott go for the Bengals game, but overall this is true. Defensive continuous no shows in these playoffs games the last three years is a huge concern, especially when we're supposed to have a defensive head coach. Ownership isn't going to touch it, but at some point McDermott has to have his defense show up because it really hasn't outside of 4 years ago against Lamar. It's 32 points a game and an average QB rating of 115. Hard to win games that way. I think a consequence of playoff expansion is that I value appearances even less now. I think there's a lot of coaches that can win the AFC East with Josh Allen and win a home wildcard game.

It's a good question because with Josh Allen at QB, high seed and divisional round games should be the floor and it looks like the ceiling. We can microanalyze some of Josh's decision making at the end there but Bass has to be cut for not making that kick and McDermott has to be fired for his defense once again not even showing up. Buffalo dominated TOP because the Chiefs averaged 8 yards a play. These are the only games where the team is judged, the goal is to win super bowls, and this season is a colossal failure for the third time in a row.

Fun to see Bills Mafia take over LA. So many Bills fans here. I expected this to be tough with LA getting extra rest, road game on a short week and fire head coach bump. I will say Brady did a good job of drawing up shot plays here, but Allen missed 2 of them because of deep ball accuracy. Gameplan seemed to be to let the Bills receivers go deep vs the man to man and that was smart, but Allens gotta execute those. He threw to the wrong side of Sherfield in the first quarter and the interception to Diggs one that was underthrown and picked. Good decision, bad throws by Allen. If one of those hits, it's a different game I think. Davis will flash against teams that play this sort of man coverage, and it helped the pass catchers get open when they did today. Chargers did a good job against the run and the offensive line struggled on the road again. Where I'll give the Bills credit is they got the ones they had to have, and that was the difference. Allen converted 2 third downs on the last drive to Diggs and Shakir. Also, thank the Lord for Ed Oliver.

Makes me wonder what the home road split is for the offensive line. They've been relatively good this season, but this is the worst game that I've seen them play and I think they had some issues with communication and setting protection. Getting beat by 3 man rushes way too much today.

I think it's a difference in role. As the receiver, Diggs is allowed to be the voice of dissention when they need one. Allen is not.

The offense is scoring 20 points a game The last 5 weeks, which basically ranks around where the Chicago bears do for reference. The offense has been atrocious and that's really what the issue is with the team and why McDermott should be fired. I don't trust him to pick the next coordinator so I'd rather fire him and let somebody else do it.
