    Tomlin is overqualified to be our DC. You can’t be serious! One of my major issues with McD/Beane is our lack of quality coaches. Tomlin would be huge for this team, bring back Daboll too..

    He's coordinated a defense ONE season...20 years ago. And then double down with Daboll? This HAS to be satire.

  2. I'd take Jaylen Warren as a back up RB lol. He does well when he's more of a change of pace guy. I'd take Darnell Washington, that mammoth TE.

    the Steelers traded Pickens who is now All Pro

     

    maybe, just maybe Slay can still be very good

     

    the Eagles wanted him back if he cleared waivers and Howie is almost never wrong

    Pittsburgh didn't trade Pickens because he lost his starting job and played horrible this year. Slay was even an healthy scratch at one point this year.

     

    Howie makes moves every year that don't work out. Just like every GM. Just as an aside, is there somewhere that even says the Eagles wanted him back that I missed or is this personal speculation dressed as fact?

     

    In any event, what's best for the Bills? Pulling in a vet on the way downside of his career, or getting out promising looking first round CB the most possible snaps and on field experience before the playoffs?

    I suspect Bosa is out for this one, which sucks due to the Bengals not being good on the OL and Burrow being a statue. I will even say he misses a second game...but I don't mind him missing the New England game actually. Maye is shifty, probably not getting too many sack opportunities...but Bosa out means maybe we have someone in there that will set the edge against a good running team in a possible bad weather game.

    I’ll be at all 3. What is your favorite moment at the stadium? Mine is the perfect game against NE in the playoffs. 

    Mine is a seemingly meaningless game against the Dolphins. The one where Hyde took the onside kick for the TD. It was the first game I took my son to. Being able to share that right of passage with him was a top 5 moment in my entire life

    I’ve done some thinking over the past week about the upcoming bills games, seeding, ect.. and there’s one blaring problem that prevents Buffalo from making a run in the playoffs. That problem has to do with home field advantage. It’s pretty clear by now we aren’t winning the division, the patriots likely have that locked up barring an utter collapse like the dolphins in 2023. But one thing sticks out to me, and is the fix to the problem that can propel Buffalo going on a run. It has to do with the 5 seed.. let me explain.

     

    I have done some playoff generators and this is what I’ve concocted as the most likely/best case scenario for Buffalo (being the 5 seed)

     

    1. Broncos/Patritos (flip flop it, it doesn’t matter to my point)

    2. Broncos/Patritos (flip flop it, it doesn’t matter to my point)
    3. (AFC south winner)

    4. (AFC north winner)

    5. Buffalo

    6. (2nd place in AFC south)

    7. Chiefs/3rd spot in AFC south/Chargers/ect.

     

    The reason Buffalo needs the 5 seed is to have the chance to play the winner of the AFC north. It’s clear to everyone the AFC north is lacking right now, and with how the playoffs work and division winners ect, the ravens/steelers will likely be the 4 seed. Buffalo has an amazing record against the AFC north since Josh Allen has been at the helm, especially in the playoffs, being 3-1. (Loss vs cinci). If Buffalo can get the Steelers, or really, even the ravens in the first round it would be the dream scenario. While some on this forum may think I’m “thinking ahead too much”, or that Buffalo shouldn’t worry about who they play on their playoff schedule and to just “beat who they play”, I would have to disagree. The bills have struggled on the road in the playoffs, and with it being more and more likely by the passing week that Buffalo will be a wild card team, this is what is going to have to happen. The bills will need a weak wild card weekend opponent to make a run. Go Bills and thanks for reading

    Well though out and presented. However, the one area I split with you, like many, is that Baltimore in Baltimore is far from a dream scenario. In fact, I would place that under more of a nightmare scenario. Worst possible outcome type thing. That team playing at home plays on another level.  It really doesn't matter that Buffalo has beaten Baltimore twice in the playoffs. Those teams are not this team. 

     

    In fact, I would put the Bills getting the 6 seed as a better spot. Likely playing either Jacksonville or Indy. Then with a win, we would likely head to whoever the 1 seed is (Denver or Patriots).

    Look I get it, in order to get big gains in the run game your wide receivers have to block, but ever since Mac “blocking is the best/only thing I do as a wide receiver” Hollins was on the team, there is such a weird obsession with wide receiver blocking.

     

    I miss the days when we looked forward to our wide receivers, you know, catching the ball 

    Goes back further. 

     

    How can you forget Jake Kumerow?

    What's your official position on Girl Scout Cookies?

     

    The most overrated item in America bar none. You can get a bigger pack of cookies that have double the amount of cookies for half the price right in the cookie aisle of the same Walmart you buy Girl Scout cookies in front of. 

     

    Because they don't sell them year round your mind tricks itself as being better than they are. 

     

    And a lot of the times, the Girl Scouts aren't even selling them. It's parents hitting up coworkers. Most of the time the kids in scouts aren't even out at the table selling the cookies at Walmart either. A bunch of parents doing it.

    Eagles Fans vandalize the home of their offensive coordinator:

     

    https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47170001/home-eagles-offensive-coordinator-vandalized-loss

    Imagine we had Barkley at RB, Brown and Smith at WR. And still struggle to score points and move the ball. What do you think our...um... intellectually challenged sect of fan base would do?

    The worst in all of sports.    There's obviously a huge amount of decent people that are Philly sports fans, but the bad ones are numerous and vindictive and brutal to their own team and especially visiting team fans including my 8 year old cousin at his first ever Bills game down in PA.   Ugly.

    Every team in every sport has a section of idiotic drunks rooting for them. In no city are they the majority. Even places where we think the general population are scum, the majority turn out to be ok. Kansas City is an example.

    I actually liked the way they won last week. Rushing for 249 yards and hogging the ball most of the game for a nice 26-7 win. I would sign up for that every week. 

    The ends justify the means. 

     

    Had it not been that amazing three minute span by Bosa and Benford to open the second half, that score would have been much closer regardless of the time of possession or rush yards. Ultimately, I would have been content with the win, but if not for the defense we are having an entirely different conversation about the offense this week IMO. 

     

    I liken it to people that watch MLB games for the deep balls or the NHL for the fights. People want to see the excitement. They want that 80 yard TD pass more than the 10 play 80 yard 7 minute long drive. We live in clip in a world where a 20 second clip on Twitter is what people want. Attention spans aren't long enough these days.

  11. I took Bosa and Shaq as well. But I think even that comes down to an "only if we get a good deal" dollar wise. 

     

    If somebody wants to shell out big bucks for Bosa I let him walk. And Shaq has been a good player this season...but he is replaceable. Again, not trying up a lot in an older injury prone LBer. 

     

    Prater is right there for me as well, but again, a money issue. Go cheaper and search for a good Kicker in the draft or FA if Bass isn't the answer. 

     

    The rest? Fire em into the sun. 

  12. Just get the wins any possible way. 

     

    From what they have said this is what the team believes. Josh is all on board with it. If he throws for 400 yards or 150...I truly don't think he or the teams care as long as they win.

     

    Problem comes from the fans. Statements like "We waited for a generational QB" all boils down to two things. Thing one...it's not as much fun to watch. Buffalo really is a boring team. And that can be a good thing the second boils down to people upset that the Bills don't win in a manner that they envision a good football team would in 2025. We aren't the Rams or the Lions flinging it all over the field and taking risks. It's bland boring football. But it's winning games.

    I'm not quite as wary of Houston as I am teams like Indy, Baltimore, Denver, etc., but pulling for a team that has a tiebreaker advantage over us is absolutely nuts.

     

    I don’t like the Chiefs either, but I also would like to make the playoffs. This Bills team is not winning out and needs every break they can get.

    I do not like our matchup with Denver. Good defense...maybe just a hair behind Houston and an offensive that is confident and finds ways to win.

     

    I'm not wary of Baltimore at all. Their defense still is shaky and Lamar has been off since he came back. And Indy may not even make it, and if they do a one legged Danny Dimes isn't a bad matchup. 

     

    Looking at potential Playoff teams, Houston Denver and New England are they only teams that give me pause.

    i would rather play texans than chiefs in the playoffs

    Playoff football is about defense and running the rock. Texans D > Chiefs D; neither are big threats on the ground. I feel like we could handle this version of the Chiefs far better in the playoffs than that Texans D.

    I hate to say this, never thought I would, but gotta pull for KC over Houston this weekend with the possibility of the Bills laying a turd against the Bengals (big possibility). We are two games up on KC and hold the tie breaker where the Bills are only one up on Houston but they own the tie breaker. A Bills loss and Texans win knocks the Bills out of the last playoff spot. Unless the Chargers or Colts lose. The Bills 3 losses in the AFC (2 in division) are killers. A fourth AFC loss starts putting the nail in the coffin. I don't see the Bills wining out so if they're going to lose one it has to be the Philly game (hate to say it). 

    I know some here will blast pulling for the Chiefs here, but the simple reality is Houston is one game back and owns the tie breaker. Bills getting in is the first priority.

     

    And I do NOT under any circumstances want to run into that Houston defense again in the playoffs.

    Exactly, Chaos.

     

     

    And when other teams do stop our run game as they have before and inevitably will again, are you confident that Brady will have an answer?

     

     

    This is exactly my concern. We were concerned about the offense earlier this year and then we beat KC and everyone was placated... until we were stomped by Miami.

     

    Brady has absolutely not proven that he's evolved as quickly as he should. Apparently Coleman got some snaps from the slot against Pittsburgh... something posters here have been clamoring for all season long. Maybe there is hope but I'm more of a proof guy than a hope guy.

     

     

     

    I know Josh loves Knox and recently said something along the lines of "trusting him with my life" but Knox still struggles to catch the ball. A few times in recent games he's had to fall down in order to secure a catch where a better receiving tight end would have radiused to pluck the ball out of the air and head upfield. I guess it's too late to hope that Knox will ever improve as a ball catcher.

     

    Hey, I love Josh. But the next time he doesn't say something overly glowing about a teammate or coach will be the first time it happens. He's too much of a Golden Retriever to not love everyone. 

     

    Even last year when he was calling Ty Johnson the "best 3rd down RB in the NFL". I mean, we all have eyes. He was good but the best? C'mon now lol. Heck, he still hypes Diggs up when asked a question about him. He just doesn't know any other way but to talk positive about others. He is Mr. Brightside.

    or we just keep 2 solid TE's who can block and make Josh happy 

    Josh advocated for Ken Dorsey publicly. He advocated for Joe Brady publicly. They both got their jobs and everyone said "Gotta make Josh happy". He's been vocally supportive of guys like Keon Coleman. He was in a group of WRs that he publicly talked up before the draft. Maybe it's time to stop making Josh happy and put guys around him that are skilled. If they really want to make Josh happy, how about a move up the draft board for a big time WR?
