    I think part of it for me is that while officiating has been bad for awhile, this season seems quite a bit worse then last season.  And I don't neccisarily think it's a case of this team or that team overall, but how the league wants things to play out week to week based on trends, ratings and gambling lines.

     

    I'm not saying I know something for certain.  Just saying things don't look right this season, all around.

    I feel it is rigged. I gamble for fun and Watching how the over and unders always fall on 1/2 point wins or losses is uncanny. How about how the Buffalo line in Sunday night lowered to 2.5 underdog - look @ final score-Bills lose by 1/2.point!

    That was me....I wasn't saying those times weren't great. I lived in Buffalo and had tickets then. I also went to the first 3 Superbowls,  but how can you say those Superbowl losses weren't bad? We lost 4 Superbowls. How  can that be anything but bad?

    I would have preferred going to One Only and Winning! Than be an embarrassment Reminder to the Start of Every FB Season!

    Levi Wallce is buried behind Patrick Peterson and once projected starter Ahkello Witherspoon. Joey Porter, Jr. comes in with lots of fanfare and will be shoved down everyone's throats Tevon Diggs style, while fellow rookkie Cory Trice is also in Pittsburgh.

     

    He is owed $5.5mm while a hit of only $1.5mm.

     

    If he was cut should we consider bringing him back to Buffalo as a depth CB behind White, Elam, Jackson and Benford (who maybe moving to safety?).

    and where exactly does it say that was 36th in the nfl? 

    No he was to blame for 13 seconds!!

  4. This is an Absolute Joke!! I have 2 Season tickets waiting to move away for better viewing - All single seats in lower level available. Nothing else??

    I’ll keep existing seats but Now will only go to two games next year- very disgusted with this BS process!!

    Thanks Bills ticket office For Absolutely Nothing!

    oh: seat representative is out until May.. LOL!

    I think what that game did was expose our weaknesses. Both sides of our lines were beaten up and down. Offensively, we realized that we’d been leaning on a crappy O-Line all season, but Allen made up for it.  In this game, Allen was off, and we suffered the consequences. We had it coming.  Allen and Diggs need help, and our other players need to step up. 
     

    On the D-Line, we realized that we pretty much sucked without Von. Injuries compounded the problem. And our D scheme was pitiful… playing soft, allowing QB’s to get the ball out quickly, and not allowing our linemen to get to the opposing QB.  Our secondary was decimated..

     

    I think we’ll be back in the mix.. but definitely tempering expectations.

    I agree Not Drinking the kool aid like last year! Love the Bills but Cincinnati & KC are better than us Now!

    Well, I agree to a point, but it's understandable.  What happens every year at this time is people are looking back on the season and talking about what didn't work.  Only time that won't happen is if the Bills win the Super Bowl.  

     

    So, what didn't work?   The defense and the offense let the team down in the playoffs.  Why?   Well, that's what people are talking about.  Not very productively, in my opinion, because I think the problems are much more nuanced than people here seem to think, but that's just my opinion.  

     

    I am amazed, however, that people think McDermott is the problem.   He's probably a top-five head coach, and people are complaining about him be too soft, or too oriented to the defense, or something.  I don't get that at all. 

    Shaw-have you watched McDermotts in game decisions last 5 years? How about last year-13 seconds- this year in the divisional round- andYou think he’s a Top 5 Coach……LOL!

    Check the board for the first time since the Bengals game.. And you’re telling me that so far 70% of people (19-8 in the poll currently) think there’s a better chance that we don’t win a championship under McBeane and Allen? 

     

    It was a rough playoff loss and embarrassing coaching, true. 

     

    McDermott is still a top 8 coach in the league, true. 

     

    Allen is still a top 3 quarterback in the league, true. 

     

    McDermott & Allen are still a top 5 QB/Coach combo in the league, true. 

     

    The first statement can be true at the same time as the next three. It’s unfortunate the way we lost, and it was outright embarrassing for the organization and the city & fans that invest their lives into this team for 5-6 months of the year, and others that do year round. But the amount of criticism I’ve seen surrounding Allen/McBeane since this loss is borderline unfathomable. Confidence and faith should still be very high that these guys bring us atleast 1 Lombardi, if not more.

     

    I was having the same meltdown the day after the game, and maybe even a couple after that. But come on, it’s 2 weeks later. Level yourselves. The Bills are still in a very elite class of the NFL and have turned into a model organization. It’ll come. 

     

    And on that note, I guess I’ll have to keep TBD out of my search bar a little longer if this is still the direction conversations are trending 😭 

    Bills are NOT  in the Top 5 anymore!  With Frazier as DC and McDermott as Coach- we’ll Never WIN A LOMBARDI!!

  9. Odessa should be given aSuper Bowl Ring  from Chiefs! LOL!

       Technically his contract is up after this season ended.  Now I have no clue on how any coaches contracts are structured.  Also it may be Frazier wants/planned retirement once this contract was done.  Or they just tell him they are not gonna renew his contract. It really depends on how honest they are in their self evaluations. 

     

    Lesley Frazier cost us the Super Bowl last year “13Seconds” and Why did Anybody feel he would improve this year!! We needed Vic Fangio but he’s now  on Miami! Need a Real DC not yesterdays  DCs- need fresh perspective on Defense from younger hungrier coordinators!

    Elway won his rings when he had a running game, and very pedestrian game stats.  Maybe we can figure this out before Josh is 37/38 years old....

     

    Outside of that he carried teams to wins and super bowl appearances for years....

     GreatArticle from a GOAT of ACoach who out coached Marv Levy in the Super Bowl! I’m  a 40 yr die  hard Bills fan too!

    I know, I know, it's "everybody's fired up and venting on TSW" week. 

    As I sit here this morning and read all of the talk of the Bills not surrounding Josh Allen with enough weapons, I'm getting irritated. Don't get me wrong, they could have used another good receiver because Davis and McKenzie didn't step up as hoped, and they obviously need OL reinforcements....BUT...

    The Bills had two very speedy, potentially potent weapons on their offensive roster, and they didn't use them. I'm talking about James Cook and Nyheim Hines. 

    All offseason, it was clearly a top priority to add a pass catching back with speed. They ultimately drafted one with a high pick AND traded draft capital for a second one. Both guys, Cook and Hines, were ultimately wasted in an un-creative offense that seemed to completely refuse to utilize their unique talents. 

    Ok, so you want to send Diggs and Davis deep every play? Fine. But for an offense that supposedly "lacks weapons underneath" and lacks weapons in general, the inability and refusal to use Cook and Hines as pass catching threats, or to use their speed to stretch the defense horizontally, or to provide pre-snap eye candy that gives the defense a moment of pause...it's just outrageous. You lack talent in the slot? Fine. How about splitting Nyheim Hines into the slot and actually using him as a receiver, not just a never-thrown-to decoy? You're telling me Cook and Hines can't consistently win routes against linebackers?!

    Cook, Hines, and heck, even throw Isaiah McKenzie in there. All of these guys have speed, quickness, and can turn a 3 yard play into a 30 yard play with their explosiveness. Even if Dorsey had done nothing else but use them constantly in pre-snap motion (I think we saw this ONE WEEK with Hines, and then never again) and the occasional jet sweep, there HAS to be some value in having fast running backs who can catch the ball well. How about some Texas routes? How about literally ANYTHING designed to get these guys open in space?

    The thing that worries me going forward is that even if the Bills DO add more potent offensive weapons, Dorsey won't have the faintest clue how to use them. He certainly didn't seem to know how to use Cook or Hines. Putting up 10 points in the most important game of the year while explosive guys like Hines and Cook largely ride the pine? Unacceptable. Ridiculous. Unconscionable. Here's hoping Dorsey takes a good, long look in the mirror this offseason and comes back much improved next year.

    Great article!! I agree 100% we Really missed Daboll!!

    This place is frankly depressing, so put any reasons to be optimistic about next season for the Bills here.

     

    1. Tre White could very well be back to his regular All Pro self with an offseason of rest and a full training camp.

    2. It’s possible we have Hyde and Poyer back there for game 1 next season (we’ll see if Poyer is too expensive, but with his injuries he might not be).

    3. Gabe Davis and Ed Oliver will be in contract years next season. They might ball out to get paid.

    4. We have Josh Allen, the best QB in the league (or second or third best, point remains).

    5. Saffold won’t be playing for us next year. There is no way his replacement isn’t better, even if it’s some third round rookie.

    6. Elam, Shakir and Cook will all have longer leashes next season. They could show out in a big way. We saw glimpses all season with them.

    7. Von Miller is a machine, you know he will rehab and do everything he can to be 100% for our playoff push next year.

    8. We have a first round pick which could become a stud playmaker. We kept our draft capital.


    I’m sure there are more, what do you think?

    I wish I can  Drink the koolaid !! I can’t Bills are going to regress if they Keep Frazier! Weak DL/ awful OL/No running game because OL is mediocre at best! What’s going to change…

    If You have a Mediocre OL- they Will never win a Championship! Look at last 30 years and OL on Super Bowl winning teams were Always dominant to Above average!!

    This would give Josh time to go thru progressions and Throw the ball.

    go back to Washington Redskins when they beat the Bills in Super Bowl- Big OL controlled line of scrimmage and ran the ball down our throats!

    Frazier's not getting fired. So we need to get him hired as a HC instead. Someone get the Cardinals # & let's start making calls.

    I actually remember this play they stayed like that through the snap & Burrow tossed an easy 1st down to Chase who was top of the screen. It was talked about a ton this morning by Howard & Jeremy on WGR who were saying we rushed 7 but gave an 8 yd cushion on 4th & 4. It was odd. 

    Do you honestly think Somebody would want Leslie Frazier??LOL!!!

    I am resigned to the fact our road to the SB will include a meet up with the Bengals. They are the team to beat. After watching our secondary get carved up last week by mediocre Mac Jones, it gives one pause.

    Green lighting: I agree with you it’s up to our pass rush to get some kind of pressure! Mac had 5-6 seconds to scan the field & throw the ball. Burrow will eat us alive- but if Micah & Po get back for this game- could make Allthe difference in the world! Go Bills!

    It is getting Comical! The league give everything to Mahomes & Andy Reed! Just listening to Raiders game yesterday I couldn’t take how Great Mahomes is whenever he completes a pass! It’s Turing quite honestly- had to mute volume!! Go Bills!

    I think it is just the reluctance to hire retreads. It seems people want to hire the young guy around the league. But for a franchise that needs stability, Frazier is a great fit.

    I know Super Bowl ticket prices are absurd (like about 6000$ including fees, etc... for the absolute worst seats.)  Add in flights and hotel and you're probably looking at at least $20000 for 2 people to go together.  I'm looking at my finances, and although I could make it work, it just seems outrageous to spend that much money on a 2-3 day trip.  On the other hand, it could be a once in a lifetime opportunity.  So - if the Bills are in the Super Bowl, are you likely to be there?
