I think critique of Josh, his play and mistakes is fine and fair game. He's been erratic this year, late on throws I think he's also gun shy and scared to throw picks. Yet he's deferring on short passes forgetting how YAC was our bread and butter. The pic in the endzone- atrocious throw The fumble- God awful dumb mistake given the circumstances. However the subjective silly takes of " Josh is soft" or " Josh is a poor leader" are terrible takes .....they are nonsense imo.

The notion Josh is soft is an absolute ridiculous take. Mind baffling. Cmon guys.

One of my feelings about Josh is he is not risking throws to keep his INT total down and this offense is too obsessed with eliminating turnovers that it doesn't take the throw risks to win. I guess we cant have our cake and eat it too.

I just want to add - I wonder what the effect of Beane ranting about not getting the trade done and the extent of his explanation had on the psyche of the team in this game? I thought Beane explained/ divested too much and it was not a great look, even if it was true/ transparent.

I agree that the bad looks really bad this year. Plus losing to bad teams. Unlike years past, when it was a solid or up and coming team that would take us to the brink and we'd blow a game via some oddity hail murray or Vikings fumble etc.. There are just hard flaws noticeable, mistakes, and awful bone headed plays. Coupled with clear issues at talent. Injury or not. It all seems more obvious and stares us right in the face.....reminding us we wont win again in Jan this year.

I think the philosophy was sound 2-3 years ago. That was the window. You get diggs then add Miller. That was the angle. After those faded or sputtered....plan C here has been rough. My honest take is Mc Dermott defense is just tragically flawed. It's always going to repeat the big play , especially big run flaws. He's too sentimental w players and not innovative.

I had trouble watching 2nd half. So didn't see all. Brady was just tone deaf all day. Empty on 2nd and 4 in 1st quarter? Poor tackling was silly. Again, we often had plays sniffed out only to not wrap bounce off dudes or take crazy bad angles. Linebackers are a huge problem. Milano and Bernard look done. Tre was pathetic. Turnovers were crazy. Bad turnovers. Allen's fumble was just dumb. Go down. Allen's INT in endzone was a killer dumb throw. WRs were bad. Keone struggling. Just horrible effort here today.

I don't know if Mc D will ever get off these guys as favored sons. Hes too sentimental.

Joe, Brady is getting too cute when he's running empty on 2nd and 4 in the first quarter.

Another vibe IG get: we get 1 run stuffed we almost never run again on any set of downs. Also if 2nd and long or 3rd and 4-5 we nearly never run.

Losing our ability to call a tush push on 4th and one or third and one is one of the main differences of this season. We aren't getting those it seems. I wonder if the data backs it up.

Not a Joe Brady day it seems. Stop being cute.

Moulds was worse than Coleman at this stage. Honestly though, keep going. Most good WRs on the Bills were nothing special till year 3 or even 4. Reed, Evans, Moulds, Stevie, hardly any good till year 3 + . That and Keon could still potentially get 60 catches this year.

If no cook elevate Gore Jr. And LFG.

Let's pause a minute to give Beane credit: Hoecht was a role player in LA. He was signed for role player type bucks. Modest dollars. The team also just beat the Chiefs. We've got TJ Sanders, Shaq Thompson, Daquan Jones and Josh Palmer all returning. Hairston and Bishop are emerging. The offenses IS NOT some broken wagon. All will be fine. Will we win SB? I'm not sure....but I'm fine with the non move here. The whole notion of making moves at the deadline to propel a team to SB glory has occured like 1-2 times in NFL history. Its BAD GM'ing to vest so much in deadline moves.
