That’s a pretty nasty thing say about 2 young rookies.. you be peeved if someone said that about a bills player..
I think there is a vast difference in wishing injury on someone, which I would agree is nasty and hoping than an injured player misses more time.
You ever look at an injury report and see a questionable player on a team the Pats are facing and think, man hope he misses this week? I'll bet you have and it's the same thing.

Yeah at this point he looks like a big time problem child... Then again, we are desperate... lol...
To put it another way on how desperate we are:
The bar is definitely reaching close to closing time. And that 4 foot tall brunette that goes about 350...well she's not that bad. Her mustache matches her beard really well. And she has a great personality....

Give me a break. All I am saying is what Allen said to the fans after many left before the end of the Ravens game-- "have a little faith next time." I have no idea how this will turn out, but in the meantime I won't be miserable and certainly won't whine over a situation I have no control over. I guess that is what faith is all about.
Yet, you will whine over other people whining?
People are allowed to have different opinions. If you want to believe this is still the year and have hope...by all means do it. If people have a differing opinion it's their right to do that just as it's your right to hold your outlook.
There's an old saying that I've always liked. "Never judge others for sinning differently than you"

Their drafting has been unbelievable the last few years. And they way they replace talent. Cooper Kupp is done? Cool. We can just replace him with Devante Adams.
Unlike the Bills. Diggs forces his way out? You'll get Joshua Palmer and like it.

I came across this random, weird CBS article about Acrisure stadium...
https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/acrisure-stadium-why-it-might-be-haunted/
Here's a synopsis on the article:
Here's the History:
Pittsburgh is a community that is rich in history, and there's no better source for a good history-based ghost story than the Heinz History Center's Andy Masich, who took us back to July 1755 and Braddock's defeat in the French and Indian War.
"It was a massacre, the British lost 500 killed on the battlefield, and many prisoners were taken back to the point," he said.
But they weren't taken to the point, which was then the French outpost at Fort Duquesne.
"They sent those prisoners over to a place called 'Kill Buck Island,' which is right about where Acrisure Stadium is today," Masich said.
If you've never heard of Kill Buck Island, there's a good reason for that: at some point, the land between the island and the North Shore was filled in.
"The prisoners from Braddock's defeat were tortured and burned at the stake on that island; their screams could be heard echoing off of Mount Washington," he explained.
Another Spiritual Connection:
"The Allegheny Athletic Association paid Pudge Heffelfinger $500, but he didn't want to risk his amateur status, so they kept it on the down-low," Masich explained.
Pudge was an amazing mountain of a man, a Yale graduate, and he led the Allegheny Athletic Association to undefeated seasons from 1888 to 1891.
"To this day, the Pro Football Hall of Fame has not deemed it appropriate to name Pudge Heffelfinger to the Hall of Fame," he said. "It's possible that Pudge could still be walking the corridors at Acrisure Stadium."
Here's a video as well describing it: https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/video/ghosts-inside-acrisure-stadium-and-who-is-haunting-the-steelers-home/
Alright... Fellow Buffalo Bills fans don't stay too late after the game and hopefully you won't hear anything paranormal
Maybe Peyton Manning can un-hex them too.

Even though the Bills have been extremely inconsistent, as you say and I agree the AFC is wide open....anyone could win it.
I mean, the 7th seed I think has as good a chance as the #1 seed this year to win the conference.
I think in 2021, it was much more realistic to miss the playoffs. We were 6-6 and in the 10th spot.
We control our own destiny, 11 wins almost for sure gets you in. We have 4 more wins in us.
I'm going to be honest. I don't give a crap what happened in 2021. That team isn't this team. A lot of people keep dipping into the 2021 bag. Yes, it's a sign anything can happen. But unless this team can miraculously figure out how to:
- Get receivers open consistently
- Stop a running attack
- Rush the passer
- Have good solid coaching on both sides of the ball
- Play 4 complete quarters
- Avoid any further injuries
Then this team is sunk. I know the popular rallying cry is supposed to be "As long as we have Josh Allen anything can happen". But that showed several times this year to be false. No more apparent then against the Texans. He can't throw passes to himself. He can't stop the run. And he's making more mental errors this year than he has in a long time. Takes more than an amazing QB to win in the NFL....ask Dan Marino.

The Bills WILL make the playoffs. If they flub an 84% chance then i just don’t know anymore, but i highly doubt they miss them outright. If we can somehow get Oliver back by the 2nd round then the Bills have a legit shot (assuming we also have Kincaid back.) I’m holding out for a magical playoff run. The team IS talented enough IF firing on all cylinders with a SOLID OFF/DEF GAMEPLAN. We’ve seen crazier things happen in sports.
As of this morning, the Bills are in the 7 seed. Houston, who owns the head to head tie breaker is right behind us. The Chiefs are right behind them.
I don't know what all goes into that 84%, but I can see our chances being significantly lower with the teams we face from here on out.
I ran the Playoff Prediction tool a few times and the Bills made the playoffs roughly 6 out of the 10 tries. The possibility of missing the playoffs has never been more realistic.
And even if they get in, do you see any world where this team shows up for 3 straight playoff games, on the road AND has a solid plan on both offense and defense? Then, avoids any in game injuries that would alter said amazing plans? I just don't this year.

On the positive side, we come in with a few extra days to rest and prepare. I think this game is the calm before the 💩 show. We win this one easily. 31-13.
Then turn around and get squashed by the Bengals, Patriots and Browns.

His pressure rate has dropped from Top 8 in the league to like 5.8%
Hes clearly not right.
We brought him here with a “plan” to keep him healthy and have him good for the playoffs.
Thats now become Bosa playing a ton of snaps through injury.
Clownshow.
Again, did we? Were we there when they discussed this? Did I pull a Keon and miss a meeting?

The Rams do everybody eats except those guys are actually good.
In fact, almost any good offense you can think of is everybody eats.
The problem is without talent nobody eats.
Without talent it goes from everybody eats to Josh gets killed.

Please feel free to merge this with something else if applicable and this is purely speculative but I do wonder if Jordan Addison will be a target this offseason for the Bills.
There were a lot of rumors that he was going to be the selection if he made it to the Bills pick the year they took Dalton Kincaid. There were also rumors that he was available to be traded for this past offseason season but not sure how serious that was.
He would be in his 4th year of his rookie contract with the 5th year option so the Bills would have control for two years. He would be an instant upgrade to our WR corps and possibly be our # 1 WR.
He looks like he has absolutely no chemistry with J.J. McCarthy who frankly has been terrible and they have already sunk 30+ a year with Jefferson. Have sunk decent money into Hockenson, and drafted Tai Felton in the 3rd round who is a very similar WR to Addison
Might have to dip back into the Minnesota well for our future WR 1 again. Just a thought I had tonight
I'm hoping Beane is on the phone with 31 other teams searching for a trade. The only guy that's scheduled to be a FA is Pickens and the drum beat is already starting that they may franchise tag him in Dallas.
Beane is going to have to get creative with the solution because help isn't coming the FA route. Addison is definitely someone they should call on.

One of the most important things for the Bills to have a chance down the stretch requires that our pass rush is at LEAST capable of generating pressures again.
Joey Bosa has been completely ineffective for 3 weeks due to his injured wrist. And Rousseau only seems to play well as a complementary pass rusher.
Can someone explain to me how we are not better off letting Bosa sit out for 2-3 weeks and allow his wrist to heal a bit?
If our best pass rusher is barely functional due to a bad wrist when the playoffs start, what's the point of making the playoffs at all?
If we are going to have any chance, it would entail allowing our defense to get as healthy as possible.
What am I missing? Unless this is a situation where a few weeks of rest won't do anything for Bosa's wrist, then I don't understand what we are doing here. He's not helping us in his current state.
The bolded is the correct sentence in your whole post.
You don't understand what we are doing here. Because you don't have access to the medicals, you wouldn't have been in the doctor's visits. I'm betting you don't have access to his medical records either.
This could be something that the medical staff has said won't get worse playing on it. In fact, as one poster pointed out, being the cast has come off it would suggest it's doing better.

Too many bought into the stupid everyone eats mantra and thought that meant the people eating needed to be leftover jags other teams wouldn’t put on their practice squads
I'm actually a fan of the everyone eats philosophy. I'm a believer that weekly, you need to distribute passes to everyone. Keep the defense guessing and not be able to clamp down on one or two guys.
Our issue is that, while everyone is welcome to the table no one brought their appetite. We bring in guys that go to the steak house, order BBQ chicken and get filled up on rolls. We need at least one (preferably two) guys that bring their appetite and clear their plates.

Go watch the Dallas highlights. Our perimeter talent at wr, cb, and pass rush isn't even close to Dallas.
Bosa & $$$ Rousseau, benford better start making plays starting vs Pittsburgh. Epenesa, etc
If they don't elevate their play on the pass rush or stop the run I don't know how we're supposed to compete for a title
Kincaid and maybe Shavers / Coleman developing is all I got for offense. Idk
We aren't. Anyone still thinking this year can end in a Super Bowl is just kidding themselves.
We are closer to missing the playoffs altogether.

I don't think anyone has gotten as much from their rookie class this year as the Browns. Of course, rookies will see more opportunities when your roster is garbage.

Coaching is a problem. It's far from the only problem.
Not replenishing talent has been a problem. Players getting lazy and complacent has been a problem. Injury has been a problem.
Coaching has been part of it. Unquestioned. But it's far from the only factor. This version of this team has been years in the making.

That's a bit harsh IMO.
You don't get a head coaching job by being a poor play caller. He certainly didn't get it from being a "calm" leader lol.
Peak Bills offence in the McDermott era will always be 2021 playoffs when Daboll was calling plays.
Running the ball can be so overrated at times. Just score points.
Does anyone actually care that the Bills didn't run the ball a lot when they had the perfect game against New England in the playoffs, and then 36 points in the 13 seconds game ?
Is it overrated when your biggest offensive threat this year has been your superstar running back?
You really think Daboll got hired as the Giants HC because he was a great play caller? Please. That was Schoen trying to bring in a coach he knows. Recreate the Bills method. And there are plenty of guys that have won a HC job being not the best play caller or someone who has ever called plays. Look at Mike McDaniel.
If you want to see how great an offensive mind Brian Daboll is, look at his time with the Giants in the window he called the plays. Look at his years in the league with any other team he's been on. I cannot wait til he's hired someplace else and people see him fail there too. Daboll's success is a product of Josh Allen.

Pretty much every OC has flaws and bad play calls.
I don't think any fan base actually likes their OC. Even the chiefs are sick of Andy lol.
Daboll is a proven good play caller in this league who has a great relationship with Josh. I would rather him than someone like Davis Webb who has no experience calling plays
I have always been on team "experienced play caller" I like guys that have done the job before. My thinking may have changed a bit since Thursday night. That defense that got 28 pressures and 8 sacks? Being run by a first time play caller. It definitely shows having a guy that is right for the job is more important as having a guy that's done the job before.
Daboll is absolutely not a good play caller. He showed that here when he would abandon the run early. He showed that in NY when he took play calling over from Kafka last year that he hasn't learned anything.
He's an OC that has been terrible throughout his career except for a very small blip when he had Allen and Diggs. He's Freddie Kitchens without the folksy charm.

So, if Brady does get fired...
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
When the QB is a Mitch Trubisky or Geno Smith it's not so much a QB stat as an indication you may want to upgrade the QB position.
When the QB is a Josh Allen franchise type QB it's an indication that you need a better OC or better surrounding cast.
If we want to say an OC getting fired is a QB stat, let's also place the credit on him earning Brian Daboll a HC job despite being hot garbage as an OC prior to Allen.
