  1. This is the biggest fault I have for him. Look, in theory I do get it. We hear it at every end of season presser he does. To paraphrase: "We don't feel we are far off. We had a few key injuries, a few young guys in there and we still were two or three plays away from winning". He's right. We get close every year. And being close puts in his mind that if we "run it back" and make a few tweaks, we will accomplish the goal. It's not a horrible train of thought. But to run it back, he only sees the positives taking place. - Injured players will return and be at full health. - All young/developing players will take a step forward - Zero older player will regress. In the real world however, it doesn't always play out the way he plans. And while Beane is focused on beating his White Whale in the playoffs (Kansas City), other teams have rebuilt, caught up and passed us. For YEARS, Beane has gotten to rest on his laurels because we get the guaranteed path to the playoffs with the AFCE title. Easy peasy, right? We're in and then anything can happen. Times are changing. The division, at least in this season, runs through New England. Beane likes to say "the playoffs show you exactly where you need to improve" or something like that. Well, what about not making the playoffs altogether? Houston, right behind us with a tie breaker. Kansas City can always rip a win streak and Baltimore is back healthy with momentum. There's a real chance that after the final week we are on the outside looking in.
  2. This isn't what we are doing today, mate. Don't use actual facts to dispute that anyone is worth a salt on this team. We are crucifying everyone be it fact or fiction.
  3. An honest case can be made that we may not win a game the rest of this year. NE, Cle, and Philadelphia all have defenses that could shut this offense down. Cincinnati is winnable, but I fell it's going to be a "first to 50 wins" type game with the two defenses. We should beat the Jets to close out the building with a win, but will it matter by then?
  4. That's if Knox even catches it, right? He was wide open and those are the ones he drops.
  5. That's not likely to be the bonus it is most years. Looking at the schedule, the variable games are against the: AFC NORTH, AFC SOUTH, and NFC WEST. As of right now that would lead to- Patriots: Steelers, Colts, Rams Bills: Ravens, Jags or Texans, Seahawks I could see the Ravens/Steelers flip flopping spots by the end of the year.
  6. I think it's arrogance on Brady's part. He is always late to recognize what the defense is doing and adjust. One of his quotes he has said numerous times is that he believes there is a chance to win every week on offense. It's his job to figure out what that was is and exploit it. I agree with him. He needs to do a better job of it. I'll give him a bit of credit. The offense comes out very well prepared most weeks and has success on their opening drive. But once the scripted plays are done...Brady has nothing. I think he slowly earning some snaps back. He went from I believe 2 on Sunday to 9 last night. But, he may end up making himself too valuable as a KR to risk taking a beating as a RB. I don't believe McDermott is making the call of which offensive player get snaps and when. That's largely on Brady and what personel groups are in for the plays he calls.
  7. Few things stand out for me: After having a breakout game last week Shavers had the least amount of WR snaps this week. Shakir had the most despite not practicing all week. Why elevate Latu to give him 8 snaps? What's the point? While not having 3 TEs on the field, the Bills didn't use Anderson as a 6th OL except on one snap. Think that may have helped with the pass rush? Why is Knox out snapping Hawes by such a large margin? Hawes is a much better blocker and I have more faith in him as a pass catcher. With Allen getting rocked by the four man front, why didn't we go bigger more? Why not more misdirection (which worked well to open the game).
  8. Seeing him throw to Knox would have been great to see him find a wide open guy, but the play WOULDN'T HAVE COUNTED ANYWAY! I don't understand why people can't comprehend this.
  9. No. Because missing the playoffs this year won't likely change a thing. At the very most, if we are lucky, we will get a memo from the Bills that say they have full faith in both Beane and McDermott, they will mention injuries and then they will end it hyping up the new stadium. At the MOST that I believe we can hope for is a new OC and a new DC, but enthusiasm for that will be short lives when they promote from within for both spots.
  10. I didn't see when he picked up the injury but he was terrible tonight when he was healthy.
  11. It's actually called back. Yes Josh missed him, but with the constant pressure Allen was running for his life all night. With the pick play, Palmer was his read and he took it
  12. As bad as he was...Spencer Brown was three times as bad.
  13. Yeah, Dawkins has noticably regressed this year IMO.
  14. Ronald Curry may be another one. He's considered a fast riser in coaching circles. He, however, has never called plays. I'm always skeptical about first time play callers, but the defense that just whooped us is run by a first time play caller.
  15. We have 10 days til the next game. If it was going to happen now would be the time. I think last Sunday's 40+ point performance bought him time though. But I swear if he has the nerve to sit there and say he thinks the passing offense is fine again I'm making a voodoo doll of him and cleaning a rest stop toilet with it
  16. Spencer Brown had probably the worst game of his career. Not sure when he picked up the injury, but he should have been off the field after the second or third possession of the half.
  17. SUCK IT CHIEFS AND RAVENS! Losing to Houston keeps you losers behind them. 4D Chess
  18. Over the middle has been open all night.
  19. Ok. That time Brady being cute was ok.
  20. WTH JUST HAPPENED 🤣🤣🤣
