Every reason to be bitterly disappointed in the season with regard to coach and GM. I'm not calling for their ouster but they killed momentum with personnel decisions in the offseason as well as GameDay. By standing pat with an O-line that got dominated by KC last year and to rely on a d-line anchored by Hughes, Star and Addison, with an unproven draft class of undersized kids along with an underachieving Epenesa. These poor decisions were exacerbated by the inability to acquire depth at RB or TE, resulting in a negligible running attack and limited protection for our great young QB. When a team gets to the conference championship and then cannot beat a team over 500% except a depleted KC early on , you have to be concerned about coaches and the braintrust.

I like his elusiveness, but ball security must be drummed into his head. One fumble in a big spot could decide a game and our season.

Why are we not built for cold weather?
HamptonBillsfan replied to stuvian's topic in The Stadium Wall
As constructed this team cannot run the ball effectively if conditions make throwing risky and difficult. Our strength is 5 wide and getting our talented receivers in space on a fast track. Conversely, we don't take away the run when good competition want to play the screen, short passing game sprinkled in to a top rush attack. We need a dome if this mangmt team doesn't fix the O-line and add a dynamic runner to Josh's arsenal. -
If the Bills re-sign Edmunds, they're stupid.

He happens to be my favorite nephew. We're very proud. -

One good game by Tremaine against NE, and you'll be on the bandwagon. I think the adjustments made by Frazier in the 2nd half will help Edmunds and our defense going forward. -

Your example proves nothing,just as a highlight reel of him running down backs and TEs sideline to sideline proves nothing. Blaming him for tackles missed by us over the 6 losses,even games he didn’t play in,is the mentality of fans that pile on players they don't like. Look at our overall run defense. Why single out one guy. What's the problem with blah, blah, and blah. -

The formula for beating Brady is pressure up the middle. The Giants used it and we got 0 pressure all day long until Milano sacked him to set up the last drive that should have won us the game if integrity in officiating existed. Edmunds is an easy target for frustrated fans, who won't admit with the investment in the D-line our front four is pedestrian. -

Exactly my point. Edmunds gets roasted by this board because of all the team's shortcomings. He's not that bad. -

Your just looking to assign blame for a defense that hasn't been good against top competition all year. We gave up big yardage rushing against Tennessee, Indy(without Edmunds),NE and Tampa,losing all four. We need Edmunds to play better,but if our front doesn't even get near the QB and we keep giving up long touchdown runs, don't expect one guy to save the day. We can't protect our QB and can't run the ball. There's a lot of blame to go around. -

Anyone consider before destroying Edmunds that he maybe playing in the wrong scheme or not being coached well enough to perform in our current defense. While everyone admits Star, Epenesa, Hughes and Rousseau have been either underachieving or unavailable, that leaves incredible pressure and responsibility on Edmunds. If you believe a defense functions as a cohesive unit to be successful, how can we dump all of the blame on the inefficient defense on Edmunds. No pressure from front four, no tackles for losses by front four and safeties and dbs out of position on long runs. Edmunds was out of position and reacted slowly on plays in the 1st half, no question, but exonerating the DC and the rest of our defense is silly. You get speed, tackling with physicality and length with Edmunds. It behooves these defensive coaches to put him in the best scheme and gameplan to succeed. -
Inside the 20 with a chance to win it two games in a row
HamptonBillsfan replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall
That's the reason to change offensive philosophy in the red zone. Dabol and Josh are connected but we can't fritter away seasons having Josh's versatility and incredible talents wasted with predictable ,low percentage plays. Devoid of a run blocking line and dependable short yardage back, how hard are we to defend in a compressed area. Coordinator changes and better suited personnel for red zone scoring should be a priority in the offseason. -
What are your thoughts on Ed Oliver?
HamptonBillsfan replied to JohnNord's topic in The Stadium Wall
Star is back? Star played in 5 games. Star is recovering from Covid. Star suited up for NE and stunk up the field. His best season, I don’t think so. Oliver's been our best lineman. -
An Outsiders opinion of Bucs V Bills
HamptonBillsfan replied to PatsFanNH's topic in The Stadium Wall
That was a solid take. Believe this, that game, was exhibit one. for the case of Josh Allen being the toughest and most talented QB in football for the next decade. He overcame a clueless game plan, extreme hometown officiating and unmerciful punishment and injuries at the hands of a ferocious front seven that could pin their ears back knowing we weren't ever running the ball, to lead us to a win from 21 down if the game was refereed correctly. -
This team is on the precipice of becoming the team that wins out and storms into the playoffs as a live contender for the SB, or total extinction. Josh will play hurt and lead us as he did in the 2nd half yesterday. He is the ultimate gamer and as long as there's no fractures or a high ankle sprain, he will shrug off turf toe and play through it.

He may have worn out his welcome with our fan base. Probably best to get a fresh start elsewhere. Rest assured, he'll get a big contract offers from multiple teams. -
You actually think we could ever get a call to determine the outcome of a game against Brady on the road. That ref just stared at Diggs getting interfered with and did nothing.

HamptonBillsfan replied to damj's topic in The Stadium Wall
I am a staunch Edmunds supporter, but he had a tough game. He just got caught out of position and before his speed gets him near the ball carrier, It's a 1st down or a big play. He makes a lot of tackles but he got blocked consistently on blitzes and underneath passes. I guess his price tag might warrant resigning. These next 4 games and postseason hopefully changes people's minds. -
You can’t blame the refs, but what a way to get your season back on the right track. I was questioning the coaches, player's resolve and our viability as a SB contender. This team showed character and pride . Josh is as tough and determined as any QB in my NFL memory. His talent is so magical, the future is as bright for us as any franchise. Just surround him with a foundational O-line and a good back and watch him compete for championships every year. Our defense after a few adjustments and a tongue lashing, showed their mettle. All in all, this game is something we can benefit from in defeat.
-
It's coaching out of fear and showing the O-lineman you have no confidence in their ability. I agree they haven't been running successfully but Tampa's pinning their ears back and swarming Josh on every play. You gotta keep em honest, dya

Why would any team have a game plan that doesn't include runs by RBs. Sean looks over his head with the defensive game plan and preparing this team to physically impose themselves. This is embarrassing and demoralizing.

They might be a playoff team, but they are soft on offense, with 0 running game and enough pass protection to get our franchise QB hurt or gun shy from getting overwhelmed. Our defense is OK, but against teams with good O-lineman, we are vulnerable.
