    The bills are the early elway broncos with the Montana 49ers in their own conference. 

     

    It is what it is.

     

    I still think we'll win a couple super bowls eventually. 

     

    McDermott has made me doubt that but I have to hope it will happen. It's part of not being to cynical as a fan. 

     

    We got a helluva chance with Allen 

     

    Obviously it's not an excuse but there are so many incompetent teams around the league, I still think it's important to try and enjoy this Allen era and not get so caught up in the ultimate outcome 

     

     

     

    I think it's worse than that though because we let Mahomes consistently do to us what he really isn't consistently doing to everyone else. We're actually one of the very few teams the last couple of years to continually put up some good points on their top defense and their mediocre offense has not been running roughshod on everyone else the way they do on us. 

     

    I don't think we've ever seen anything like this in NFL history where an elite QB has played elite football in the playoffs to the tune of something like 33 TD's and 4 INT's and has somehow only come out 7-5 with no SB appearances. 

     

    I agree ultimately that we should still find enjoyment in our regular season success but it's hard to stomach that we've flushed basically the entire 20's of the best player we've ever had who has played tremendously overall in the playoffs and we've come away with no playoff success.

    He's done great things with winning the AFC East every season and being a playoff team each season. Most other teams would love that success.  

     

    The other side is the goal is a Super Bowl 

     

    I would say good things, not great. Great to me includes postseason success which we have not had.

    If you ain't first you're last right Reece!

     

    I mean in our case not even 2nd...but sure. If you look at where we've finished the last few years, I would definitely categorize us as being good but not great.

    How does Beane know he's truly Beane though?  We know he exists yes, but what is his essence?  Is it found in these UFA signings or draft picks?  Is it really an extension of McDermott?  Who is, in fact, the authentic Beane? 

     

     

    He also has to draft for the scheme, which has meant a smaller and less physical defense than a lot of us here want. Not sure if it would be different if it was all up to him.

    Is spite of the ridiculous shredding by some Bills fans, BB rebuilding us towards another 13+ win season. If you can't understand how successful the dude has been I can't help you.


    On some level sure.
     

    But we haven’t even been to the big game, let alone win it. Most years we haven’t even been close. 
     

    We’ve been consistently good but not great.

    I don't know...I kinda think the dude behind the camera is the cringy one. Dude was at the game as a fan, not a player. 

     

    What other time in your life would you ever walk up to another guy who is twice your size and could murder you and taunt him about his job?  Why people think that is ok is beyond me. Then they go on podcasts and talk more crap about the guy.  Theyre all losers who should get their butts kicked, IMO.

     

    I'm not defending fans like that, I agree the guy behind the camera is a total loser. The cringe part to me was the "I'm rich" stuff, not necessarily that he even responded.

    he's not as bad as people say but we could certainly get better at the position. He does not make mistakes. He is a micah Hyde light.

     

    I like the guy but not the football player...even calling him Micah Hyde Light is an insult to Micah Hyde

    Bosa…having Rousseau as the only pass rusher that’s a legitimate threat is a very tall order…your coverage better be real good on the back end if that’s the case which ours wasn’t 

     

    a dip in talent at RB when you’re mostly running it by committee anyway is not a huge loss 

     

    I do think it would be, as currently situated, more than just a "dip" in talent at RB. Cook did some really impressive things last season.

  9. I like the upside potential but it feels like such a coin flip on whether he’ll be healthy at the end of the season for a team that really needs a top talent on the d-line. 
     

    What I don’t like is if he isn’t and the defense is awful for the 7th straight postseason, the injury excuse will come up yet again even though this is a big risk from the start.

    Kind of bizarre that he goes on some podcast and gets slobbered over how mature he was dealing with his injury when McBeane have publicly stated the opposite. Coleman had every opportunity to correct the podcasters and say he had some growing up to do but instead took their praise in stride.  Shows a lack of maturity on Coleman’s part and lack of any prep work by the podcasters.  


    These aren’t the kinds of podcasts that grill guys though, it’s more of just a conversation and these specifically are not football people. Most players don’t go on podcasts that someone is going to ask really tough questions on. 
     

    I mean McAfee actually is a football guy and he glazes all over Rodgers every week when he’s on.

    I was just arguing this with someone who i won't name on this very thread.  We are always good team, but people act like we're great. Great is getting to the show, elite is winning. Good is just going to the playoffs and many on this board are content with playoff births and second round exits. 

     

    I agree with that. I don't really even agree that we've been "in the mix" every year. We got blown out in 2021 and 2023, the 13 seconds game year we still would have needed the offense to put up gaudy games for us to win the SB because that D was going to give it up big, just like 2024 and I don't know if we could've hung in there with the Eagles with our defense either this year, but you never know in the SB at least.

     

    But overall I don't think we've been on the doorstep that often over these past few years, that's kind of a narrative a lot of fans here have created.

    What we are seeing is Desperation vs being a stud franchise. We can afford to wait. 

    If we got Ward and Brown thats a huge win

    They have to do something to put butts in the seats. 

     

    I don't know how we can claim to be a stud franchise when we haven't won anything. We haven't even been to the big game. There were also a lot of people last year ripping on the Eagles for what they gave Saquon but that big swing helped win them a championship. 

     

    I'm not saying spend recklessly but what we've been doing considering we have an elite QB has not translated into postseason success either. There's a cost to being too conservative as well.

    I'm in a vast minority, I actually like Fields. I think he can play. He also make a lot of mistakes. At that price as a 1-2 year bridge isn't a bad move. 

     

    Depends on if they can get out of it after 1 year with minimal casualty. If so, it's not a bad move.

    I swear I typed rinky dink but funky dink seems like a phrase that should have been used by now.

    Right.  It starts at Noon.  East Noon is before West Noon therefore advantage East.

     

    I agree, it's not fair. But on the flip side, we in California get to watch the Bills at 10am and already know what happens before people in Buffalo get to watch the game in person at 1pm.

    Agree, but also have to consider the offense failed to score on their last possessions the last two playoff losses, which could/should have sealed a win.  

     

    That's a very simplistic way to look at it though. Like this year we put up 29 points in the playoffs vs one of the top defenses in the league and I believe had been the only team to score 30+ on them all season while allowing 32 points to a mediocre offense. 

     

    The defense has let us down in the playoffs every single season of this era. That's where the real problem lies.

    Hendrickson had one very good season in NO before cashing in. It was a risk that paid off for the Bengals. I think Greg has shown several good seasons worthy of 7% of the salary cap.
     

    I like the stars and scrubs model too where you have a few superstars. But unless you draft those players, acquiring those top players is costly and I think the Rams are the only team I can remember pulling it off…and even with them their best player was drafted. 
     

    I do think Beane gives out some silly contracts. Oliver and Bernard in particular. But I think this is one of his better contracts that can be part of building a good DLine.

     

    I don't agree that the Bernard contract was silly in it of itself. If we have a good d-line, he's a really good playmaker. But that's the catch-22 here with the Rosseau signing IMO. I don't think this helps his cause. We needed a makeover on the d-line.

    I think people haven’t come to grips that salaries like this are the norm. It’s not just Bills fans but every fan. It’s not an overpay. It seems like it because it’s a massive amount of cash but this is actually less than he could have gotten a year from now for sure 

     

    It's not really the salary for me...it's the player. The guy for the most part is non-existent when it matters most, and got manhandled by our biggest rival.
