Ravens are 3-8 vs Steelers last 5 years and that was with Kenny Pickett types playing QB for the Steelers. Why do you think they will beat them twice with Rodgers?

Sorry, Virgil, but your post confirms my impression that this board has gone totally mad. Even some of the best posters have become completely irrational. It’s really sad to see. What you bolded is total nonsense. There are five players from the draft who are clear starters right now: Torrence, Kincaid, Coleman, Bishop, and Walker. Hairston isn’t a starter simply because he’s injured. It’s not fair to judge him based on that. And what’s completely unfair is to judge Beane based on injuries to Hairston, Sanders, and Strong. When your kids get hurt on a school trip, it doesn’t make you a bad father. Injuries happen — and Beane has nothing to do with that. It’s crazy how so many people are calling the 2025 Bills draft a failure after just six games, especially with the top two picks plus Strong injured. It’s crazy — and sad. Many players you didn’t bold are contributing in meaningful ways. Groot is. Hawes is. Bernard is. Coleman definitely is. I get that he’s not WR1, maybe not even WR2, and that’s disappointing. But he’s still 60th in the NFL in receiving yards. So even if you think he sucks, he’s still a relevant NFL player and is contributing. I remember his 112-yard game when we beat the Ravens. I get it — we’ve lost two games, including one to the Patriots, which sucks. Our hopes of getting the number one seed are in jeopardy. But we’re still a top-2 Super Bowl favorite at every sportsbook. Reading these forums, you’d think we were the worst team in the league. Kirby even said we’re a 4-win team without Allen and with average QB play (like Tua), which in my opinion takes the insanity here to a whole new level. But that’s for another post. To be clear — we do have big issues: in the secondary, at receiver, and with defensive playcalling. I’d have fired Babich yesterday. I’d fire McDermott after the season if we don’t make the Super Bowl. And I’d even consider firing Beane, though I'd probably let him stay. But the level of negativity here, about everything related to this team, is really something else.

Grab Lucille and go do what you do best. Predicting Bills record surely isn't your thing. If things go really bad, we go 11-6 as usual. I really wonder if some of you are in fact Bills fans.

Let's pile on Groot some more

3rd penalty, 3rd time no replay

Do you remember how it usually ends up when you have such hunch?

Wrong forum I guess

I agree with you. I was just trying to refute Happy's point about our WR room being one of the worst failures in NFL history.

I said last post but I'll add one more. So Metcalf and Pickens are "bunch of options" now? One is clearly a head case with attitude problems (and no, I don't say we have to only acquire "choir boys") and the other one was so expensive that it would've been and all-in move for us. Maybe a good one, but still an all-in move. And the only one available. Mentioning the defense in this conversation is just changing a topic. Oh and back to Pats. Their "downfield threats" are Diggs (who was diva here and was supposed to be washed) and then Kayshon Boutte and DeMario Davis. Both definitions of JAGs. If anything, it is a scheme thing if they are making plays downfield, and not "teambuilding".

My last post on this topic since I too feel like a broken record, but what bunch of options are you talking about? There was one very expensive Metcalf on the market and then in draft Egbuka, McMillan and Golden were out of reach and nobody else has shown anything worth mentioning so far. So what exactly are you talking about? Them not taking a flier in round 4? EDIT: Oh and I forgot, we added Palmer this offseason. Is he supposed to be a downfield threat? If he is not used that way then it is not on Beane / team building.

Ok then I'll check it out tomorrow and "bet the house" they won't make it. It just doesn't make sense with 7 teams 4-2 or better + Chiefs nad Houston at 2-3 and them being 1-5.

Exactly. They are 3-8 against them since 2020 and that was when Steelers had no QBs. They'll be lucky to win one. They might sneak with 10-7 somehow but it is very unlikely.

Joe Burrow and Cincinnati Bengals might have a word with you. That is what one of the worst teambuilding in NFL history looks like. Happy no offense but this is becoming ridiculous. We've had bad draft positions, some bad luck, made some mistakes when it comes to drafting / acquiring downfield WRs (though my take is that Beane had much fewer chances to actually do something than most of you think), but we build OL right and have pretty good offense overall. Calling it one of the very worst failures of team building in NFL history just because we do not have one element is just total nonsense and it is extremely unfair to Beane.

Elevations for MNF are known on Monday? I don't see anything.

First of all, my warm and cozy fantasy is much better than your BBFS misery. Just saying. And back to the point. Is this your first year watching NFL? They looked good last 2-3 weeks. It doesn't mean they will look this good next week, not to mention rest of the season. They can lose any game on their schedule. They might be really good, but we don't know yet. They may lose to Titans next week, or Browns week after. They can definitely lose to Atlanta, healthy Ravens, Bills, @Tampa, vs Giants or @Jets. They have better chance to end up 10-7 than 13-4.

Any game they play? They lost to Raiders (!) and Steelers at home already FFS. Two good weeks don't make them some kind of juggernaut. Recency bias at its finest.

I agree that results are Jets-like. I just think that you can't say they refuse to build an NFL oline. That's what Bengals do.

Huh? They drafted both tackles in R1 last two years, took Tippmann in R2 a year before and Vera-Tucker in R in 2021 (+ Becton in 2020). They are doing everything they can to field a top OL. Otherwise I fully agree.

No way they lose this game with Tyrod

It's not too negative, just silly.

This absolutely sucks. I know people thought Sanders was meh but I think he was doing fine as a rookie and had potential to improve throughout the season. Hopefully Larry O. has something left in tank and Oliver is healthy for the rest of the season. And what makes me sad people will somehow blame Beane for drafting TJ (along with Hairston).

This is really OT, but shouldn't it be "... Milano and DT TJ Sanders were..."? Or is this correct in English?

So Thursday is a new Wednesday since we play on MNF?

But someone older than 16 years please

Like I said. PS players have like 0,0001% impact on any teams chances to win SB. It doesn't matter if we have Spector there or some random other dude who is currently on Vikings or Texans PS. So saying that we should try do "something else" on PS doesn't make any sense to me when talking about SB.
