Let's face it, folks. Whatever could go wrong has this entire season. The football gods are conspiring against us. To me it started with that whole Hard Knocks thing. It turned out to be a crappy show, but to me, Dion Dawkins let the attention go to his head. He has stunk this season! Then we have had to be on the road in prime time versus teams that have been starved for national attention. And after Every game, the Bills have come out with injuries to key players that we lose for multiple games or the season. When we see a glimpse of how good this team can be in our wins, the rug gets pulled out with those key injuries. I am convinced that in this league you not only have to be good, you have to be lucky. The Bills haven't been. And they are not good enough to overcome the bad luck. So, though I don't agree that the Bills need to jettison their top management YET...I do believe at the very least Coordinators need to change on both sides of the ball, and that could/should entail changes in philosophy in both the HC and GM. For the rest of this season, I will cheer, and hope. I expect the Bills will be a wildcard in the playoffs, and compete. I will root against KC and the Pats. And, I will not impose my feelings and opinions on the team and assume that players are thinking exactly what I'm thinking. I'll look at the rest of the season objectively...and try not to let wins or losses determine how the rest of my week goes.

I never heard Josh say winning a Superbowl is no longer a must. In fact, when he won the MVP, he downplayed the honor, saying “You know, it is such a great honor, and I do appreciate being honored for my work, but at the same time, I still didn’t win a Super Bowl. Didn’t win a ring, and that is the only goal. It’s the only focus that I’ve ever had going into this league.” I know since he's gotten married, he has gained perspective regarding if he never wins one. He'll look at it as the "one that got away" but it also won't negate the other accomplishments he's had in life.

Dion wasn't hurt. He just played poorly. His attitude is too laid-back. When a player says things like "You don't have to win every game" or "It's not Super Bowl or bust," that player is a problem, especially when the going gets tough.

I agree. For all those saying McD just wants to run the ball, he wants balance. He has said in his pressers that you need a good passing game AND a good running game. That's what keeps defenses honest. Without a good passing game, defenses key on the run, and vice versa. The worst thing that could have happened to the Bills was Allen becoming the MVP with a bunch of no names at WR. That gave McD permission to ride that wave and ignore the offense again in favor of the defense. Last year the Bills made it to the AFCCG with the no name WRs...but also a once again banged up defense... because the defensive players can't make it through a whole season. The biggest problems this season are the Coordinators. McD has already taken over defensive play calling and that has helped. The offense is all on Brady, who is clueless. He is incapable of adjusting during games and yesterday it got his QB killed. I wonder, even if the Bills had a true number 1 receiver, could Brady even handle him to be effective in his offense? None of us are crazy about Keon, but has Brady even tried him in the slot where he was most effective in college? Brady has only one answer for everything...and scheming of any kind does not seem to be involved.

Gosnell is still on the PS. It was Wilkerson that was moved off last week.

Hardman hasn't played football in a long time. He got hurt in his first live action all season. It really shouldn't be any surprise.

I agree. I think if Coleman is benched again today, it's because the other receivers, with Gabe Davis in the line-up, showed well vs. TB. Moore will likely play because he's a direct replacement for the Samuel role. If Coleman is benched for Gabe Davis, it's because of how well Gabe played and opened up the passing game.

If Mara is smart, he goes after Josh McDaniel. I know he failed as HC before, but he didn't have the QB. As an OC, he knows how to develop QBs. Look what he's doing in NE. I don't see any of the big names in college stepping into the Pros. There are too many big programs with head coaching vacancies in college right now.

Happy Veterans Day to all my fellow Vets (USAF 1975-1985). A special thank you for those of you who served in combat. You deserve more from this country and it is a shame that is not recognized. I salute you all!

I agree...unless I misunderstood him. He seemed to be trying to make the opposite point. At any rate, the 2026 class is supposed to be strong at the LB position which we need.

Joe B said this evening on Leading the Charge that the 2027 draft class is supposed to be far superior than the 2026 class.

There is nothing to see! There are no routes...just a bunch of guys bunched together running around in the hopes of getting open.

Brady. These receivers have been productive playing for other teams. Production disappears when they play in his schemes. It's like beyond blocking, just run around and get open.

Actually...he drafted and brought in good players (with the exception of WR) but they're all on IR. In addition to coordinators, they seriously need to look at their training staff.

As well they should be. They wouldn't be fall guys. They are not good enough, plain and simple.
