Any list where your coach is bracketed by Carroll and Gannon probably isn't a good thing

Considering the Tackle situation Brady darn well better make this a game where Josh gets the ball out of his hands quickly.
He's got to do something different. Be it a moving pocket and getting Josh rolling out, going more up tempo, something.
Which means he will overdose on mesh concepts that take longer to pop open.

Cooks is playing and I think he's going to be a decent part of our game plan. Josh complemented him on his high football IQ and kinda smirked when he said he's already learned most of the playbook. The playbook comment caught my attention because the way he said it he seemed pretty genuinely pleased by how much he knows already. Others can comment on it, but it didn't seem like the standard throwaway comment he might make in a PC.
I'm sure Cooks knows how to run Mesh/WR screens. He's a vet. That's all her really needs to know in this offense.

Both tackles playing injured would actually provide an explanation of how they were both turnstiles Thursday night. Now what was Edwards excuse?
Unless they were both injured on the games first play it really doesn't. They were both playing like cheeks the entire night.

600 bucks for two bleacher seats is shameless. I get it that it is a business, but this level of greed is getting obnoxious.
I think a cool thing would be to gift them to long time season ticket holders. Let them keep their seats so to speak.
Just wait til they rip it down and sell off golf ball size pieces of rubble for $350 each

So apparently Diggs started sucking precisely when Brady took over even tho he tore up the NFL the 11 weeks prior? The preponderance of the evidence has shown Brady has ZERO idea how to properly utilize WR's effectively.
Exactly. Because it's kind of weird that Diggs bounced back to being a good WR again in his short time with the Texans and has been back to his normal self, even at his age and coming off the big injury, in New England.

Not surprised based on his social media yesterday. Feel for him. I think he works hard and was poorly used by the staff
Agree.
After the 2nd round of the draft he is who I called for the Bills to bring in. I figured he could get a nice "Josh Allen Bump" and be productive. I didn't take into account the "Joe Brady drop" that would come from his usage in this offense.

It's going to be Amari Cooper 2.0. Let's be realistic.
I don't thinks so.
When Cooper came here there were way more expectations. He was brought in and everyone thought he would be the WR1 we needed
No sane person is laying those expectations on Cooks. Honestly if he gives us a few timely plays, maybe a dozen catches, around 200 yards and a TD or two, I think that's meeting what realistic expectations should be.
Also Cooper cost us a day 2 pick, Cooks costs us nothing but a small portion of salary.

If Cooks can come in just before December and revitalize his career leading the Bills to glory...well it may just inspire another Hallmark Christmas Movie.

I don’t believe we see Coleman again this year.
Until this, I was figuring he would see the field again, be it due to injury or them giving him "one last chance". While Cooks is hardly a world beater at this stage of his career I think to me it's a loud and clear message that they are done with the Coleman experience.

We now have a logjam of mediocre WRs. Between this signing, Gabe lurking on the PS, and the potential of Hardman returning at some point...it's making me think that either Hardman was hurt way more than we thought and won't be back OR they are doing whatever they can to make sure Coleman doesn't have to see the field again this year.

It's almost as if the NFL just doesn't like him, he's never been real successful only the 1 season with Philly if I'm remembering correctly . It's like some players are really good in college and can't do the same in the NFL he is the same way .
Well, they like him enough to give him chance after chance.
His biggest issue is he did 1 thing well and never really adjusted or adapted to how football evolved. To me, he's the Rex Ryan of the offensive side of the ball.

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.

Just now, Coach Tuesday said:
OUR 30.Oh, OUR 30? They way people cried about it I assumed it was the Fins 30. Yeah, no. You don't go for it that early on your own 30.
Just now, Casey D said:Bills 30, not Dolphins 30.

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.
