    This freakin place is so awful after a loss. Obviously 2 in a row makes it way worse.

     

    We're making the playoffs. That's all i care about. I would love the #1 seed, but I reject any notion we need it. McDermott's playoff road record may be 0-whatever, but that leaves out the fact that other than 2019 (when we weren't this iteration of the Bills and Josh Allen wasn't yet Elite), every road playoff loss came against the Chiefs.

     

    That proves somehow we're doomed on the road against other teams in the playoffs??? Totally disagree.

     

    I also think this crowning of NE is really premature.

     

    Guys, before the season started looking at our schedule to start the season I think we all would have been happy with 5-1 at the bye. We're one game off that pace with a mass of circumstances I think we underestimated.

     

    Let's just take a step back for a moment and look at what really happened against Atlanta.

     

    Our #1 receiving weapon who's become Josh’s most reliable target and finally seemed ready to break into that "Elite TE" category was out.

     

    Josh Palmer got injured on the 2nd series and I really think that killed our offensive passing game. It was clear to me the Bills were about to integrate him more into the offense. Even the commentators brought up the conversations they had with Bills coaches last week about Palmer's deceptive speed.

     

    Daquan Jones suffered a calf injury during warmups leaving us with 3 active DTs, one of them being Ed Oliver coming off injury. (Side note: Deonne Walker is going to be awesome!) 3 DT rotation against Bijan and Algier??? Yikes!

     

    Bernard gets hurt mid game and exits. 

     

    McGovern gets hurt and comes back clearly still hobbled.

     

     

    Plus we have 2 important defensive reinforcements coming in right after the bye and hopefully Hairston can play soon after.

     

    Say whatever about our remaining schedule but none of these teams are that scary. The Bengals will probably still be starting Flacco and their D sucks. The Eagles (as stated) look like the NFC version of us. 

     

    Kansas City is, in reality, an inconsistent up and down team we're going to play at home and is the one team on our schedule this team doesn't look past. Yes they got players back, but they lost last week against the Jags with Worthy and it baffles my mind the way Rashee Rice is talked about as an Elite WR who will inevitably unlock their offense. The guy has played 20 NFL games and surpassed 100 yards a whopping 4 times. I'm not saying he won't be good and won't help, but the whole "uh oh!!! It's the high power Chiefs of 5 years ago!" is pretty ridiculous.

     

    The Bucs and Steelers look good, but how much do we really think that lasts?

     

    We aren't going undefeated after the bye, but who cares? January into (hopefully) February is all that matters. Just get there.

     

    Take the bye, get healthy... take a breath. 

     

     

     

     

    ...........JA has always been elite

    yeah.  50M is confirmed....but my understanding is that it is offset if he takes another job....which he probably will.

     

     

     

     

    I wouldn't be so sure about that.........Franklin's got a massive ego, and he wouldn't settle for a program that he felt was beneath him and rest assured, any top programs have seen what he brings to the table and wouldn't go near him.

  3. The problem that i have with the FO is that they believe they are the smartest ones in the room...........you know, like no other person or fan has ever followed this team or football their whole lives and knows nothing except for the nonsense that our FO spews to its fanbase every season, every week.

     

    We, as a fanbase, may not know everything about football, but we know a lot more than what this FO will ever give us credit for, and we know that what is happening to this team is just wrong.

     

    We deserve better.

  4. To date, besides Josh, who else has been a solid clutch draft pick for this FO?!?

     

    Going on 9 years and only JA as a solid draft pick and people still don't think Beane is the issue here?..........9 years worth of drafts with probably close to 63 picks, minus bundled picks, etc. is probably closer to around 50 picks altogether over the span of 9 drafts.

     

    And we hit on one solid pick in JA.

    Yeah, we've had decent serviceable picks pan out, but one solid pick out of around 50, is reason for mass firings right there.

    I just don’t care bro, we need Allen to be amazing all the time and turn around and give him ***** to work with 

     

    do you see the chiefs operate that way? How about the ravens or the eagles? 

     

     

     

     

    Those teams actually play complimentary football.........not just a slogan that our HC spews every week and does nothing about it.

  6. One more week of, "it's hard to win in this league......we need to play complimentary football.......blah, blah, blah".

     

    For 9 years, we've heard this every week........9 years!!!

    Enough is enough already.

     

    13 seconds should have been the moment that McD was let go. It would have been the perfect opportunity for our FO to let him walk and save a little face doing it, but we saw the biggest meltdown of all time on the field and our FO decided that maybe it can't get any worse...........it can and it will.

  7. Though i'm not happy with how the team is playing, i am actually happy that the fanbase seems to be opening their eyes to what they can expect from this FO regime going forward.........and by going forward, i mean just look at the lack of progression from this FO over the past 9 years and the fans suddenly seem to think the philosophy is going to change overnight?

  8. I don't even care if the D is Hall of Fame worthy..........just give me a D that can actually compete and be respectable.

    One question. 

     

    Who drafted Josh Allen?

     

     

     

     

    One solid draft pick in 9 years worth of trying is not a good record

    • Agree 1
  9. Brady had the "dream team" at LSU, where the talent on O basically coached themselves..........when given the chance to coach a hapless Carolina team with zero talent, they couldn't run him out of town fast enough, as he was lost and couldn't gameplan with a hapless O.

     

    But Buffalo thinks he's our answer, like we stole him from the rest of the league.........you know, like a hidden gem that no one else in the league saw and we were just lucky enough for him to fall in our laps.

     

    Only in Buffalo, is other teams' castoffs and garbage, our ongoing future.

    You actually don't even want to give yourself some time to sit back and think about it cause it'll make you sick.........sick, i say.

  10. It's the same thing under McD for the past 9 years..........lose a couple of winnable games in October, tighten things up in November and make a run in December.

     

    If you think that things are going to suddenly change with this team, when this system/formula is all they know, then you haven't been paying attention, my friends.

     

    The McD experiment has run its course.
