Until McD proves otherwise this falls on him. It’s not just the KC and CIN losses but even some of the wins. MIA should have beat us with a 3rd string qb, IND almost us beat us with a Rivers playing like he was 90, PIT was within a score in the 4th. The Pats game is the only dominant win in all these years.

It is interesting to me how teams bring back like 99% of their own guys. Like no other team has players better than the ones they invited and then cut.

Its reasonable to think that the bottom 20 or even 30+ roster spots on most teams are similar talent wise. Look at the at the number of college football players coming out each year. I find it hard to believe you need to spend $ and prioritize certain guys over others when we are talking the bottom or even middle of the roster. The guys are similar at that point it comes down to either how good the top part of your roster is or coaching. That is why I believe you go all in on as many superstars that you can afford and fill the rest of your roster as needed. Add in the amount of wasted $ like the $1.6M L Collins just added to our dead cap number.

Mike White on Jets or Fins = he sucks Mike White on Bills = Celebrate. Mike White is awesome woohoo. How? In what world?

Signed by lions

We now have 3 of the 8 UB players in the league...

You could do the same exercise with WR free agents too I bet...Diggs, Beasley, Brown, Sanders, Crowder, McK, Harty, Sherfield, Roberts, Jordan Matthews, K Benjamin, Kerley and many more.

First draft pick - trade down and see 3 more WR's come off the board before we pick the 8th WR of the draft. Do not draft another WR. Top FA - After losing Diggs and Davis and we signed a guy not anywhere close to what is considered a top WR free agent type contract. Kincaid - That move was made last year when we needed another threat with Diggs, Davis, Shakir on this roster.

Because the Bills never do anything that leaves people wondering ?????

How is Rice not suspended yet for going 100+ mph and almost killing people? Zay has charges dropped and gets 5 games? Does KC run the NFL?

Astonishing

Looks like MVS is a shoe in to make the team then. Many seemed to think he was on the outside looking in.

I think this is what a ton of people are feeling. We have arguably the best QB in the game but have been unable to get over the hump. It becomes harder to be sold on the same coach, less talent, teams around us getting better, yet this is our best year ahead? For me, an expectation of being in the Super Bowl has been replaced by hope. Maybe this can go right and we get there. Versus we should be there. We have done a good job at being a very good and respectable team. The only thing that could get high feeling back again would be something along the lines of getting CeeDee Lamb or a move that brings a legit threat to pair with Allen. Otherwise it is the wait and see how these pieces fit together.

Bills offense has not scored a TD: It does not matter. It is preseason so nothing really matters. Teams are not game planning or showing the real stuff. Ray Davis has rushed for 60 yards on 13 carries. Trade Cook, we have found a future star in Davis.

Much of this is true. Though our 2nd qb has played a lot and it has not been good. As has our 1st string OL and that has been bas as well.

Again, every team has random guys playing and could come up with an excuse. You would think even our back ups could score against other teams back ups. Could mean nothing. But it could also mean our depth is not great, preparation, playbook or coaching is not great. Hopefully it’s meaningless.

No td in two games now. Player issue or OC issue? Maybe no issue. But common response is it’s just preseason. Didn’t realize it was preseason for the Bills and no one else. 15 points in two games puts them with the chargers, Steelers and panthers. Not a great group.

Edwards has a $2.8M cap hit.

Cant ignore we are spending almost $6M on Rapp and Edwards. I take Simmons at $8M and some lower $ guys than the combo.

Week one preseason revisits - Good news, bad news, meaningless news about our week one loss... Last year only two teams got blown out like the Bills did last week. One was the 49ers and the other was the Panthers. Super Bowl or worst record in the league or nothing to see here.

It is becoming a trend. poor decisions on the offensive side of the ball in many phases from players to coaching. While they focus on D and we are now seeing those decisions back fire - pay Milano and not Edmunds, Miller, Hyde/Poyer situation, White, Elam, Basham, AJE...

So we are paying: $31M to Diggs to not be on the team $6M to White to not be on team $20M to Bates, Poyer, Hyde, Floyd, Harty, Morse to not be on team $15M to Miller to not exist $12M to Milano to be out until Dec Over $80M to players that potentially have zero impact on the season.

Thats one way to look at it. Reality though is we beat Pitt, likely the worst AFC team in the playoffs, and scored 31 points with two drives starting near the Pitt 30 yard line. Was not the cleanest win as it should have been a blowout. KC played MIA and only scored 26 in a game that was never really in question. KC then beat the Bills. KC went on to play BAL and SF which drive the numbers down. So its a bit of reading too much in the numbers to say the Bills O was better in the playoffs.

Better regular season or better playoffs and when it counts? Allen may have a higher ceiling and be more athletic. But Mahomes is better.

Problem with these comparisons is it starts with: Reid > McD Mahomes > Allen Kelce > Kincaid/Knox Pacheco > Cook/Davis Who cares with all that if our WR's are as good as theirs. Plus Rice is likely better than any of our WR's. And guess what they did this offseason - added Brown and drafted Worthy. So clearly they care about having WR's.
