Yea, I think this particular play the early pressure by Jones makes Allen skittish. He steps up in the pocket and takes (the also wide open) check down to Hawes. I'm still not sure why this wasn't a catch. Looks like it went right through Hawes hands? Big picture does our WR corps suck or do we need to use them better? I think it's both. In terms of talent this is probably a bottom 5 WR corps, but we don't use them well either in this offensive scheme.

We had the 22nd overall pick. WRs still on the board at the time: Justin Jefferson (22nd) Brandon Aiyuk (25th) Tee Higgins (33rd) Michael Pittman (34th) WRs selected before 22nd: Ruggs (12th) Jeudy (15th) Lamb (17th) Raegor (21st) Trading up for Raegor or Ruggs would've been a disaster. Any of the other 6 WRs (on a rookie contract) are probably a better choice than trading a 1st for Diggs.

You're completely ignoring the fact that if he made the FG the game is over (for all intents and purposes) and that making the FG is more likely than missing it. We had an identical in-game situation back in week 3 against the Dolphins that was barely talked about because Prater executed and made the FG.

Sauce has been garbage the last couple seasons with refs actually throwing flags on him for clutching and grabbing. Getting 2x1sts for him is absolute robbery. I think it's a delayed course correction for them. They shouldn't have signed Wilson and Sauce to those monster contracts going into a season with Justin Fields as their QB. If the Jets don't bungle it (like they always do) they could be a real threat by 2027

McD's blunders from this game were timeouts. He had no reason to use a timeout before KC's field goal. The timeout before the 4th and 17 actively hurt us by giving KC more time to come up with a play.

Laughable that they paused the game for a minute to have a ref huddle and they STILL blow the call. Just have NYC buzz in and tell them it wasn't a penalty

Trent Murphy when he wore a denim suit ?

They both went to William and Mary! Tomlin is 0-6 in his last 6 postseason games and they've allowed a whopping 38.3 points per game. The PIT offense has turned it over a bunch of times in those games, but that highly paid and ranked DEF has been awful as well.

What in the AI slop did I just read.... Life in the spotlight isn’t always glamorous. Recently, actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld has been making headlines for a deeply personal reason. She’s been candid about Hailee Steinfeld emotional struggles in her marriage to NFL star Josh Allen.

It wasn't just the drops, it was the bad routes and miscommunications with Allen that led to about half a dozen INTs his last season here. We all knew the guy was never going to be a decent WR2, which is why we let him walk. Maybe he can be a positive contributor in a smaller role this season

KC 37 Bills 17 Our DEF only plays well vs scrubs like Fields and Dalton. A loss could actually help the season. I think we need something to galvanize this team into action (trading for a WR or firing a coordinator) and a bad loss to KC might just be the ticket.

He has 4x half sacks and 2 full sacks. One of his 2 real sacks came with 30 seconds left in the game against the Chargers after they had benched Herbert . He is a relentless stat padder at this point of his career.

Mahomes only has one 300 yard passing game in his last 7 playoff games and he needed OT to reach that. That's not cherry picking and ignoring his 2 best post-seasons either. Allen hasn't been perfect, but it's pretty easy to say he's had the best 5 year post-season stretch in league history without a SB appearance.

I wonder if Beane told McD to play up the injury severity so that Beane won't look like a complete idiot when he trades for a WR

We don't. Maybe we could trade away multiple guys to free up space for 2025, but it would come with catastrophic dead cap in 2026. Trading Rosseau for example would save a few mil against the cap this year, but 28mil dead cap in 2026.

Anyone with eyes can see that Rapp sucks, but I can't agree with benching him for Poyer. Try to swing a trade or sign some veteran off his couch. The rest of the list looks good

Houston made the same mistake Chicago did in week 1. If you can't trust the kicker to boot a touchback just kick it out of bounds. The 5 yards is so much less important than the extra time off the clock burning the 2 minute warning. Will the HOU defense go into revolt after this game? With a mediocre offense they'd be 5-1 or even 6-0 right now. How do you lose a game where your DEF scored a TD and forced 4 turnovers?

Sean McDermott worked hard and completed a self evaluation to find that it's everyone else that is wrong. An older piece by Tim Graham: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5299472/2024/02/26/buffalo-bills-sean-mcdermott-nfl-combine/

An actual, respected (?), sports journalist that's critical of McBeane? I'll get my popcorn ready

Any movement by the O-Line before the snap should be a false start. No more of this 're-adjusting the back foot' nonsense that isn't even in the rulebook! I'm sick of seeing the OT's move a full second before the snap and it's not a penalty. Defensive holding and illegal contact should not be an automatic first down. Illegal formation needs to be more evenly enforced. Call it on Jawaan Taylor every single time he's not lined up properly.

I'm curious on the 3rd down play. I'm not an X's and O's guy, but I see the Falcons rushed 5 guys and 2 of them were un-blocked. How do the 5 guys on our O-Line only manage to block 3 defenders? Did Josh make a bad pre-snap read? Did the O-Line (with McGovern injured on the sideline) botch the play? By the time Josh moves on to the Shakir read there's 2 unblocked defenders coming in at full speed on him from a few yards out. If he makes the throw to Shakir he's probably taking a huge hit. Should he have started with that read based on pre-snap stuff?

Do what KC did to us last year. Line up a few inches Offside and see if the refs have the stones to call it

I don't think it's injury. There was a play he collided with Rapp earlier in the season and it looked like Benford had the wind knocked out of him. No other injury scares that I've noticed and he hasn't been on the injury report. The scheme hasn't changed much. I guess he might be suffering from gotpaiditis

Should probably add in Tre's 4.1 mil dead cap from his previous Bills contract. Fulton missed 3 games due to injury and was limited by it the other 2 games with only 17 snaps. Let's see what the guy does while healthy before calling the signing a miss
