This is nonsense; this came up a few years ago as I recall after we ran into some opposition. "Gotta get tougher." Nope, gotta get better...and SMARTER. Here's the rub: with the same coaches, it will be a LOT harder to get smarter, and with the same coordinators running the same offense/defense, it will be hard to get BETTER too. Maybe personnel changes alone can do it. I hope so.

I've said this a ton of times all over in many threads: I think we will have a small regression next year. A few more losses in the regular season, and an earlier or similar bow-out in the playoffs, short of a conference championship appearance, again. I think we retain both coordinators and this leads to similar problems next year. McDermott won't make changes until he HAS TO, which will be at the end of next season. People will read your post and throw hate your way, like they did when you predicted we would lose to the Bengals in the "predict the score" thread. When will folks understand it's not about blind cheerleading! It's about being RIGHT. Actually, I wish someone would make a perpetual "blind cheerleading" thread. Anyone who wants to be that sort of fan can post everything they write in that thread. Would keep the forum a lot happier, like it has been for almost week now! All the Kool Aid folk are still not coming back....never had so much elbow room and breathing space around here! LOL

Edmunds is going to get more than $15 million per, and it won't be with Buffalo b/c we can't afford that. (And b/c we are smart enough to move on from him, I pray). Without knowing more information, I'm not sure I want OBJ anymore; something went weird with him; he was supposed to be playing now for a playoff team and it never happened. Dallas let on that he is still hurt or out of shape or something.... Anyway, he won't sign a "1 year prove it deal" unless he thinks he has to.

What a weird thing to find. I live in 'burbs of West Palm Beach so I went with that location. I set it for: 50,000 MPH, .5 mile asteroid, 45 degree impact... @ 50,000 people vaporized, 3 million dead in fireball, 715,000 dead from shockwave, 1.8 million dead from WIND BLAST. Would trigger 6.9 earthquake, create a tsunami .85 miles high, and knock down all trees for 172 miles. LOL. Luckily this happens once every 780,000 years on average. Makes the thought of Putin setting off a low yield nuke seem kind of tame! 🤣

I have seen both episodes so far, and am enjoying it...but particularly with this last episode...they need to be very careful not turning this into another "Walking Dead". Hopefully it will be a lot more intelligent than that. If it deteriorates into that sort of thing, I'll quit on it, just as I did with Walking Dead.

I'm sure lots of folks here will just make fun here, but the OP has a point, to an extent. If this team doesn't shift course and go HARD ON OFFENSE this off-season, we do have a problem.

What I love about this kid is his blocking as much as his pass catching! On a number of those blocks, he absolutely DESTROYS the guy he's blocking and they end up flat on the ground. He then stands over them and looks down just to rub it in. He plays with a lot of attitude and edge--that's clear--and I LOVE THAT. And how about that 1 hand grab? He reached out with one hand, caught the ball in one hand, pulled it in with one hand, and NEVER put his other hand on the ball---just kept running. I'm afraid we'll skip him and take a defensive tackle instead. 😭

Wow, perfectly sums up the inept US military leadership after landing on the beach in Anzio, as part of the utterly failed Italian campaign in WWII. Reading a lot on this chapter of the War lately.

It seems like there are a bunch of hard core compute gamers here. Does anyone know the best way (what hardware and software) to play aerial dogfighting simulation games? With a lot of historically accurate planes/views/controls, and where your view playing is out of the front windshield, like flying the real plane? Do you have to go to PC types games for this?

The best way to make it stop is to start a thread calling attention to it.

Here's a great one I was listening to just yesterday. James Horner is amazing. RIP.

I'd move on from him when we can and the cap allows for it. He's undersized in this league, and doesn't have enough raw athleticism to make up for it. I would NOT have a player on my team, in that position, who is less than 325 lbs.

I would DEFINITELY move on from Dorsey, and maybe Frazier too. Dorsey is orders of magnitude below the best/smartest coordinators in the league. Frazier is too conservative and literally does the same thing all game every game.

Interesting quote from the article: "However, over their last three playoff losses, Frazier’s defense has given up 107 points (35.7 points/game) and 1,403 total yards (467.7 yards/game)."

That's 10 games ago (not counting post-season) which about where I had our bad streak starting too. We were WINNING mind you, but we were not on form. We made mistakes, Josh turned the ball over in many of those games, and we just didn't like we were playing at our best. I kept waiting for the switch to be thrown for playoff mode, and it literally never came. I wonder if it would have been better to lose to Miami in the first playoff game. It would have yielded more change than what we are going to get, and this is going to set up a regression year next year, big time. Intro to the article....this really hurts, but also hits home! "The best word I can use to describe how I felt (and still feel) is numb. I sat in the first row of the upper deck in utter disbelief as I watched the Bengals celebrate on OUR FIELD, with THEIR FANS taking over OUR STADIUM with their “WHO DEY” chant. I was so numb and emotionless that the security guard had to come poke me on the shoulder and tell me to leave." That's a dark day in Bills history right there folks!

The clone concept wouldn't really work, would it? You need all different types of guys at different positions with different sizes and skills. All Tom Bradys would lose badly. It's kind of a dumb idea to be honest! No offense. I'd go with a clone of some top, big, fast, running back.

The Bills not being right go way, way back before Damar's situation in Cincinnati! For half the season some of us warned that our style of play was going to catch us out when it came to running into a really good team in the playoffs, when we need our best performance to win. Amazingly, MIAMI ALMOST got us in the very first game. And then the Bengals beat us down. Bowing out of the playoffs well before our goal of a SB seemed inevitable this year. The bad part is I think we'll have a slight regression next year, not quite doing as well as we did this year.

Bengal Beatdown ???

Good God has that woman had a lot of plastic surgery! Changing topics for you watch enthusiasts out there: Here's a cool shot of Buzz in his younger years sporting his Omega Speedy moon watch....

It's not that simple, but I agree we need to upgrade the line. You're assuming Josh would turn extra time into completions. Maybe, maybe not.

Considering they beat us once without him, I don't think that's such a stretch.

Funny. Retaining Dorsey likely WILL waste another year of Josh Allen's career, and then they'll realize something needs to be done and he'll go then. Then the new guy will need to get cozy and that's another year gone too. Now it's 2026 and still no SB appearance.

Ed's way to small for that! He's too small for the position he plays now!

Firing the safeties coach seems highly suspect to me. Seriously? After that beat down? That's the move? Hyde misses most of the season, and Poyer fights injuries all year long and you go after the safeties coach?
