Beane and McD. They're responsible for Bobby Brady
I always thought his issues were because Alice didn't lay down the law a bit better.

Of course it's possible when you have Josh Allen at QB, sure.
The Bills were 7-6 with dire playoff hopes because we looked abysmal in multiple games in 2021 and won their last 4 games and we all know what happened.
The Bills were 6-6 with pretty dire playoff hopes because we looked abysmal in multiple games in 2024 and won their last 5 games and ended up in the divisional round where we were a Dion Dawkins block away from winning or a Tyler Bass field goal away from potentially winning a home game against the Chiefs.
We've looked terrible this year in multiple games, but it's head-scratching to me how short everyone's memory is. This isn't new.
Reminds me of the old saying, "Past results do not equal future success"
Now, that said, it's football and wild things happen. And there are still enough weeks to mathematically win the division, #1 seed or whatever people want to see.
This is a discussion board. And as such, both the people that feel the Bills can overcome and the people saying they may miss the playoffs at this point have very valid arguments. I think we ALL wish the Bills were closing in on the top seed, but here we are.
No, we don't know what the rest of the season holds. At this point they could win out or lose out...and neither would particularly shock me at this point. It's just a disappointment that we couldn't put away teams like Atlanta and Miami. Or New England in our building.
Seems like every time we get something rolling, we get hit with a fresh batch of key injuries. Right now, we need to wrap Cole Bishop up in bubble wrap.
I will say it again because it merits repeating. Both the Gloomy Gus's and the Homers have valid points. The season can go in a million directions, from a Super Bowl win to eliminated from the playoffs by week 16 or 17. I know where I feel like it's heading, but it doesn't mean my opinion is the only valid one.

It almost seems like just another reflection of our over-entitled culture.
It's gotten really bad and I have no idea how to address it.
I don't see it as over entitled. I see it as legitimate frustration. Of all years for the Bills to have a step back in talent...it happens in a year where the Chiefs struggle, the Ravens had issues and the Patriots surge. There would be a legitimate chance Buffalo would have the #1 seed locked down in a few weeks in a typical Bills season
I think the frustration is stemmed in the fact that some of the issues that have plagued the Bills this year should have been easy for a GM to see to see coming. The lack of talent at WR. The lack of depth at key positions. These were all addressed right here by many and shrugged off.
The injuries that have been mounting since day 1 of TC. And while you can't predict injuries, it does take a toll on the team and the mentality of the fan base.
The regression to the means of several things. Sacks up, takeaways down, giveaways up. All things that were amazing last year yet many know are unsustainable. All things that I believe Beane just expected to continue.
Finally, it's the lack of improvement over the course of the season in key things. Run defense. Play calling. Presnap penalties. Lack of consistency week to week. It's just been an all around frustrating year watching this team.

Things got a *lot* rougher after last week. We have a chance to take out Pitt., giving us a two-game and tiebreaker on them. We've got a one-game lead and tie-breaker on KC. Houston is a real problem. We're only one-up on them, and they have the tiebreaker. The Chargers and Jags are tied with us, but currently hold tiebreakers.
We're still in decent (not good, just decent) shape overall, given the schedules, but the margin for error just got a *lot* smaller.
On the flip side, the Steelers have a chance to push themselves into the 7 seed and send us to the "in the hunt" group with a win this week. We lose this weekend, and the Steelers leapfrog us and the Texans could as well with a win.
This week really is a make or break week. I feel like the loser of this one misses the playoffs entirely.

Raiders feel a lot like the drought-era Bills. Some good individual players but an organization lacking any direction. That’s the type of team you poach players from like Marshawn, Peters, and Gilmore were freed from the Bills and became Hall of Fame players.
Honestly, they may be worse
At least the Bills managed to get a 1st round pick for Peters. The Raiders for years have had the opportunity to get a kinda ransom for Maxx Crosby and absolutely refuse to trade him. He reportedly wants to stay there...but business is business. After seeing what the Cowboys got for Parsons and even the Jets got for Q Williams, it's ridiculous that they keep him there.

If the Raiders put together a competent oline and coupled it with a good OC Jeanty would be a star.
You could be right. We may never know. I don't have faith the Raiders will put enough around him to reach his potential. Jeanty was a horrible pick for a team that needed much more than a RB.

Isn't Ice Bowl a Packers fan ?
Yeah, but most Patriot fans were fans of another team at one point.
A lot have navigated to Chief fans now.

People say McDermott is too aggressive chasing points
But when he punted it against the dolphins on our own 30 yard line in the first quarter people said he was soft
He's damned when he's aggressive and he's damned when he's not
I keep seeing people say they punted from the 30. I actually missed the start of the game and didn't see it. Were they actually on the 30 or is that just an estimate?
Because at the 30 that's a 47 yard kick and is a high percentage kick. If he passes on that to punt, yeah I'll call that too soft.
And when he went for it on the 4th and 1 in FG range, yeah that was too reckless.
It's almost like situations matter and differ from chance to chance.

I put in some scenarios today. Six games left.
If the Bills beat Jets and Browns.
Lose to Pats and Eagles.
They would have to beat either the Steelers or the Bengals to get in.
So, three wins gets the Bills in and considering they play the Jets and Browns, there's a good chance.
But you're right. Doesn't seem like they'll do much in the playoffs anyway.
Browns game gives me pause. They have a good pass rush and their DBS are better than our WRs.
Judkins is a star at RB. He's what the Raiders thought Jeanty would be. Kid could easily pop off for 200 against us.

So posters can’t reference a season from 4 years ago to make a point, but you can reference a QB that played nearly 40years ago to make yours?
I guess all that matters is the bills suck, and you’re here to tell us you’re right?
Couldn't be more wrong, but hey you do you, fella! Have a great Thanksgiving.

...do you agree or disagree?
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.

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.

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?
