If by few you mean completely new offensive and defensive lines, new safeties, better corners, an actual pass rusher, a new/better OC, a change in conservative/scared defensive philosophy, 3 new WRs...then I totally agree with you.
It sure has. But at the end of the day, if we don't have the players to run the D that McD wants to, then they need to adjust and try something. They just seem so stubborn with their defensive approach. Almost arrogantly so.
He's he to give glory to god and to tell us that it's hard to win and the NFL. Oh, and that it starts with him. And that he's proud of his team for battling.
We won't so long as the rest of the conference keeps improving. We'll be lucky to win the division next year if the Dolphins don't go on losing streaks and the Jets find a QB. Bengals and Chiefs are clearly in another class than us. So we're going to be scraping into the playoffs and will probably be perennial one-and-done or won-and-not-done but lose easily in the divisional round. Fun!
Exactly. The division is strengthening as is the conference...while the Bills seem to be regressing a bit (yes, statistically the offense was on par with last year's). This is the window I worry about...not so much that the Bills are no longer good, just that the rest of the conference is getting better and better to the point where we are basically going to be neck-and-neck with like 5 other teams.
I know this hasn't been talked about in a long time...but it still sucks that we traded with KC and they got Mahomes and we got White (who will likely never be exactly the same after his knee injury). Cosmic joke that one.
We are in early to mid round playoff exit purgatory, while burrow is playing to get to his 2nd SB or Mahomes to his 3rd. This team is never going to win a SB with McDermott. Never prepared, always outcoached.
So punting sure was a great idea...give up 7 anyway and burn more clock. This team is NEVER ready to play. Always out schemed and out coached. Just pathetic.
But there is. If/when we go down 31 to 10 they will start going for it on 4th down. But everyone knows as soon a we punted we conceded another scoring drive.
