DE Trent Murphy - Let walk TE Tyler Kroft - Let walk LB Matt Milano - Resign CB Josh Norman - Let walk OL Ty Nsekhe - Let walk OL Jon Feliciano - Resign OL Brian Winters - Let walk WR Andre Roberts - Let walk OL Daryl Williams - Resign (Maybe) QB Matt Barkley - Let walk RB Taiwan Jones - Resign RB TJ Yeldon - Let walk S Dean Marlowe - Resign WR Isaiah McKenzie - Resign CB Levi Wallace - Resign LB Andre Smith - Whatever I think most of our olinemen are average. That's fine, but I'd like to see some efforts at upgrading them over the next few years. We need to get a pass rusher. Somehow, someway. We need to fix the running game. I think scheme and blocking is the biggest issue, but I wouldn't mind drafting a better running back too.

This is our life for the next few months. Lucky us. One million ridiculous threads a day about how horrible the Bills are and how horrible the coaches are. We got beat by a better team. That doesn't mean our coaches are bad or our players are bad. It just means we need to get better. Play calling was fine. Execution was the issue. Perhaps preparedness was an issue, which is a coaching thing. Injuries to our skill positions was an issue. And yes, our coaches are not at the level of Andy Reid yet. Doesn't make them bad.

Ok. Break it down for me.

We did start blitzing and when we did it turned into a HUGE play or a TD every single time.

I don't think that's even remotely true. Can you explain yourself?

Tampa Bay has nothing like the Chiefs have.

The Chiefs are going to win. It probably won't be that close.

That's the hope. Allen can progress more. Daboll has to show he can fix the running schemes and not only the passing schemes. They can add more talent on offense and defense. My concern is dealing with the Chiefs offense. That's not so simple. They are one of the best offenses I have ever seen. They have weapons that are demoralizing. The combination of Kelce, Hill, Mahomes, and Andy Reid is deadly. I think the key is pressuring Mahomes and preventing him from getting the ball into the hands of those playmakers. So on defense they need to get a big time pass rusher who can dominate. That's not likely unless they somehow trade for one. I think the Bills can be really good, but the Chiefs are a dynasty. It sucks they had to come around at the same time the Bills got good. But that's just the reality. But let's see how the Bills answer next year. They are going to be pissed and on a mission.

When they brought pressure they got burned. When they dropped into coverage they got burned. What would have them do? They got beat by a really good team.

An elite edge rusher would be nice.

Whelp. It was a good season. Nice run. Hopefully the Bills come back angry next year and put together another run.

You're right. Let's just forfeit.

Let's hope some halftime adjustments are made...

Cover 1? Seriously? One deep safety and that's all?

Every game I have watched of him this year I have seen EASY dropped interceptions. Kind of blew my mind.

Yeah. I'm thinking he is a tad bit unqualified, but that's just me...

The same

Is this serious...?

Josh Allen and Tre White were both concussed and played the very next week. Happens all the time.

Haha. I love that they included Bill Belichick breaking the phone in that hype video.

Well, "some in the league" disagree with you.

I think Tampa Bay is significantly less impressive than the other three. But that's just me. They lost to the Bears and had some near misses against some other lackluster teams.

That may be true or it may not. Regardless, Mahomes is in Stage 4 because he practiced Wednesday. So in this instance he has been on the same trajectory as Allen was with his concussion. And Tre White when he entered the protocol after getting elbow dropped by Gronk a few years ago. Tre played the next game. I'm personally not sure why some people are thinking this is a conspiracy. Players get through the protocol in one week all the time. Many don't, for sure, but many do.

That's not how the brain works. Each concussion is completely unique and cannot be compared to each other. And regardless, Mahomes may have ALSO have the pinched nerve thing contributing to everything. And even if it was more severe, that doesn't mean that he can't recover quickly from it. Each recovery is different.

I'm guessing you talked about finally getting a real coach when you hired Gase as well.
