Pathetic play call from Indy on third and one.

Jared Goff is one of the strangest players in NFL history. I’ve actually defended him as being a really good QB, but I’m not liking what I see. He had a few good years in LA, then turned into a pumpkin, now he’s doing it again in Detroit.

Detroit isn’t looking good. How important was Ben Johnson? I never knew if I fully trusted Campbell. He’s a great personality, but i’m not sure if he comes across as someone I’d trust with an entire organization.

I haven’t seen any drop off from Kelce.
I understand how you see that,I hesitated to make this statement. However, I don’t think the dominant big plays are there as often. Kelce doesn’t take over the game anymore. He posted his lowest career yards per catch and decreased touchdowns last season. He still catches a lot of passes, but it doesn’t feel the same.

Mahomes is an average QB, can we stop being afraid to say it?
He is this year. Losing Tyreek mattered, and although Kelce puts up good numbers, I don’t think he can be dominant anymore. That matters to Mahomes.

Yeah... But it's ridiculous to think you're gonna dress up for the cattle car experience. Who's gonna wreck their good clothes on a filthy plane?
Understandable... But offer a few ancillary modes of transportation.
To be fair, most people don’t even have “good” clothes anymore. I’m not even sure how to define dress clothes anymore. Most business environments
are casual these days, especially for the millennial generation and younger. I do understand there is a next level of trashy also, but you can’t change the airport without changing society as a whole in that case. Everyone has a credit card, therefore the ability to travel.

I think kc wins today unfortunately. They're desperate
I don’t trust the Colts either. I think the Daniel Jones story is going to be like the Darnold year in Minnesota. A one off decent year that gets exposed.

Big Ben
Another small school college quarterback who went to a rust belt City
Very true, and it’s likely possible. I’d just never say there’s no way Josh would leave.

Tom Brady left at 40 to chase one more Super bowl victory
He didn't leave at 30
That’s true, just trying to show the modern NFL doesn’t favor any elite QB staying with the same team forever. I can’t name any who did from the 2000’s onward. Big Ben I guess.

As I have always said plenty of Bills fans literally are always looking at the Doom side
There's Bills fans who call up wgr just to complain.. but they'll never call up when we're doing good
I have friends who have been watching the bills for 60 years but they only call me to trash them.. never after a good game either
That's a lot of the fan base always on the negative side
We could agree to disagree no I do not think there's a greater than 50% chance lol
John elway didn't win his first Super bowl till he was 37 and he didn't leave Denver.. Jim Kelly consistently beat him
Matt Stafford was in Detroit for 12 years and didn't win one playoff game.. did not win One NFC North title
Lost by an average of 15 in the playoffs
.460 win percentage
They failed Matt Stafford way more than Buffalo has ever failed Josh Allen they're not even comparable
Josh is way closer to Peyton Manning comparable who didn't win his first Super bowl till he was 30 didn't go to one till he was 30
That’s fair, the situation in Detroit was far worse, but I do think modern sports has a culture of chasing the ring in free agency. I’m not convinced any player is above it. Elway belonged to a different era. Brady chased more rings by going to Tampa. I realize Belichick chased him out, but he certainly put himself instantly in a better position.

Posts like this are so funny. You are basing this off of a well crafted public image with access to more resources than you and I can fathom. Yes I think he's a great dude especially compared to a lot of other players, but come on.
If, and I'm hoping obviously this isn't how it plays out, things don't get better in Buffalo within 2 years, yeah, I think there's a greater than 50% chance at that point he gets out. If things are still ass in 2 years it likely means the offense hasn't been fixed, the defense has let us down, the coaching mess has gotten messier, Allen has spent 2 years getting hit more than he ever has, and most importantly, we aren't winning like we once were and we are no longer Super Bowl contenders.
Unfortunately, if this season doesn't magically come together, and then if this offseason doesn't somehow fix this team, I think we're kinda screwed. At that point it will essentially be obvious we are in more of a rebuild situation than just a "patch things up here and there situation" and personally I don't expect Allen to endure that. And I'm not sure I trust this GM and this coaching staff to get things resolved on that short a time frame. Yes we all hope and pray the Bills win and right the ship, and yes I am not trying to be doom and gloom, but I think people should be a bit more honest with themselves at how precarious this situation is and the reality of the business.
Beane proved at the trade deadline that he is not willing to do what it takes to win a Super Bowl. Either Allen has played Mr. Nice Guy for too long, or Beane truly doesn't give a ***** about what Josh wants and needs, but we were/are clearly in a situation to go all out to make a championship push. Beane being such a tool that he wouldn't even accommodate Miami for which 1st round pick they wanted tells you all you need to know. Let alone the other players outside the division he could have added if he had sweetened the pot just a little bit more. It's not like we're gonna hit with those picks anyways. If Beane had done his job better, McD and even Brady (who is clearly out of his depth and has been from the get go) would not be facing the scheme issues they are facing. We would have enough players of a high enough caliber to compensate. But we don't. And here we are. That is the reality whether or not we want to tell ourselves Josh is too good a soul to leave Buffalo. Respectfully, get real.
Matthew Stafford seems like a pretty good dude, and I’m not usually one to compliment random players. He fully embraced Detroit, but eventually did what’s best for his legacy. If Stafford did it, I think anyone would.

Such a defeatist mindset. If I was Pegula, I’d remind Allen of a few things:
- he wasn’t 1st or 2nd team All mountain west
- he completed 52% of his passes as a rookie, one of lowest rates of any qb in the last 10 year
- he had the same OC at the start of his career for 4 years, which never happens (Ej for instant has 1st time nfl OC Nate Hackett as his OC and qb coach his rookie year)
- he played on teams with top 5 defenses
- we traded a 1st for a top 10 wr
- he has one of the biggest contracts in nfl history
- the team spends to the cap
- he is in every other commercial
it’s weird how some of you act like we draft prime Brady as rookie. He was as raw as any top 10 qb in a long time. Allen owes Buffalo/ Bills as much as we owe him. This is sit in a corner of hotel room mentality.
Why haha? Teams trade franchise qbs because they are completely washed or they are starting to be. And if it ever does happen, you rebuild your franchise like the Lions did with the Stafford trade.
I agree, and I don’t think Allen is going anywhere so it’s a moot point. However, in a hypothetical situation, I don’t think an owner pointing these things out makes a guy stay. It’s human nature to give ourselves credit for success. If a player was truly disgruntled, the godfather like “we made you” isn’t going to work. It’s not about the past, it’s about the present. It’s like reminding your partner in a failing marriage that you once “saved “ them. It might be true, but that doesn’t matter when the here and now is a failure. We aren’t necessarily indebted to those who “made us”, we must seek out the best opportunities.

I’m down on this team as much as the next guy. I think we’re wasting a generational talent, but we have some bad teams on that schedule. I think we’re going to win a decent amount, maybe just a loss to Philly and the Pats. However, we aren’t going far in the playoffs.

The heart and soul of the team is dead. The “culture” we were preached about was suppose to prevent this. If the culture is gone, what is left?
Speaking from personal experience, I think “culture” is a good way to turn around a struggling entity. Culture talk also can get old when people start seeing the same old results. The preaching of culture is something that can easily go bad when results become stagnant.

You thought that was a great game of football?
It was never as close as the score was. We got completely dominated. And you realize Davis Mills is a backup quarterback right?
Yeah, I’m not trying to say kickoff returns don’t count, but we’re even more out of it without the kick return TD. We had the kickoff return and the long Cook TD run. We were mostly dominated outside of those plays.

There’s something about the coaching style of this team that makes them boring to watch. Now I know how Steelers fans felt for the last decade.

I really don’t like the body language of this team. There seems to be a negative vibe. I’m the world’s biggest Allen defender, but he’s part of the problem now too. He’s not being smart, and when things don’t go well, he’s easily frustrated these days.

He's drafted barely replacement level players and let our pro bowl 6'5 255 lb linebacker walk
But gave Gregg r 80 million.. Christian Benford 70 million...
We traded up into the first round to get a guy who made the pro bowl consistently.. has the most pics in the NFL out of any linebacker the last 3 years
And we re sign everybody but him
Again Sean McDermott does not bring in the groceries he does not control this franchise like Bill belichick
If he did they wouldn't need to pay Brandon Bean millions of dollars.. beane gets millions of dollars a year
He puts the roster together
What is Sean McDermott supposed to say you let our pro bowler walk and I have a third round pick who had one good year and he's 225 lb
Sean McDermott is not control of giving him 45 million that's on the general manager.. I'm sure Sean said hey we have no linebackers
So beane did that... I'm a hundred percent certain Sean McDermott doesn't think Bernard is a better linebacker than Edmunds and he didn't say hey let him walk and resign this guy for well above market value
Bernard is worth five or six million dollars a year we gave him double
That is on the general manager
Valid points, I just think McD prefers undersized linebackers for his scheme and that’s part of the issue. These are the guys Beane is looking for.

Yes because Sean McDermott made Dion Dawkins false start for the 8th time this year
Blaming everything on Sean McDermott when this entire board admits they don't think our team is that talented is crazy
The refs weren't going to let us win anyways they threw a flag on the last play lol
If we caught it they're going to take it away and back us up they were not letting us win
Sean McDermott doesn't sign Terrell Bernard who's one of the worst middle linebackers in the NFL to a 45 million deal
You think Beane really just signs Bernard to a crazy contract without communication with McDermott?

Good defense, I get it, but that was a pathetic display by an offensive line that’s been overrated for too long. Add them to the list of issues with this team.

Spencer Brown never really shows up when you need him most. This offensive line is thought of as being great, but we’d be Super Bowl champs if they were consistent.

Yeah, and it seems like the same story with Ben Johnson. He’s been very fortunate with offensive minded coaches.
