    Silver lining takes only

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    It would seem our biggest vulnerability is a very physical defense, aggressive DL. What we basically saw against Atlanta and Houston. 
     

    The good news is, it’s very possible we won’t see that type of defensive play up front until a Super Bowl appearance.
     

    The AFC is just overflowing with pretenders. Take your pick, Patriots, Broncos, Chargers, Steelers, Colts. Can we lose to these teams? Sure. But I would probably prefer this iteration of the Bills vs these teams than the last few years vs peak KC. We don’t necessarily need to figure it out to make a run here or even be the best version of our selves.

    The Bills are a very good team that is currently a M.A.S.H. unit on defense.  We are 7-4.  We have already beat teams that we will be fighting with for Wild Card spots.  We're getting in.

     

    The Eli Manning Giants got hot and the right time AND lucky AF and got two rings against the GOAT coach/QB combo off of it.

     

    This was a very entertaining game for a neutral observer and the Bills had a chance to win it at the end.  They pulled off a beautiful hook and ladder play to make it possible.  Gabe Davis in-bounds or Dawkins doesn't jump and there's a very good chance of a W.

     

    Take a deep breath, schedule an appointment, and stop basing your happiness/self-worth on how a sports team that you aren't on performs.

    You’re completely delusional if you think this team is capable of getting hot in the postseason, when it gets harder. We have based on EPA the highest regression in postseason performance vs regular season performance of any team in a three year period as far back as it registers. The Giants were loaded. They were potentially great teams that just didn’t gel at first. Buffalo does not have a potentially great team with this roster. Not any history of big performance in big games.

    I am begining to think this team has to many "business men" and not enough "sickos"

    it's a violent game. It requires dogs and loose wires. The best teams create a culture that can absorb these types and not splinter from it. We aren't that type of org. This team has no edge. The two guys that gave us the most of that edge were Diggs and Hollins.

    Beane looks at players in a vacuum. If we sign this player now, it has to be cheaper than if we sign them when his contract is up. But he never factors in how common it is for a player to regress when they get paid or how much extra juice you tend to get in a contract year. I wish he would just let most of these guys play out the deals, get the additional information, and then make a decision.

    Remaining Schedule, how will this play out?

    Put yourself out there for predictions on the remaining schedule.  The only reason I have a W for the Eagles is because Philly will mail in that game, having already clinched their playoff situation.  Cleveland will be a physical game and Myles will abuse Allen.  New England will be our 2nd Super Bowl this season.

     

    @Pittsburgh-  Loss

    vs Cincinnati- Win

    @ NE- Win

    @ Cle- Loss

    vs Phil- Win  

    vs NYJ- Win

     

     

    We will win out until the Eagles game, which is 50/50 and the Jets game is a bit unknown based on what we need at that time. But we will win the next 4 and everybody will forget we are still a very flawed team. We will get back to Super Bowl expectations and you know what happens next.

     

    The thing about this regime is they produce very predictable outcomes.

    This is not true 

    Marshawn Lynch, Lee Evans, Fred Jackson, Stevie Johnson, Kelsey, Poz, Stroud, Whitner, Kyle, McGee, Schobel. I mean I just picked one random year. Forget about the Takeo years or the Mario years. We have had more talent in the drought years multiple times and for long stretches. We just didn’t have a quarterback.

    This team looks exhausted from Super Bowl or bust expectations. It’s one thing to rally when you’re new to a situation and you have belief, but these guys know how long a road this is and how difficult it gets, and to be perfectly honest I don’t think they have the will to rally like they once did. The message is old. The roster is weak. The resolve is fading.
     

    The fans are feeling the same thing.

    A Few Thoughts about the Texans Game - Community Edition

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted · Edited by Mikie2times

    Beane is the biggest issue. But I don’t think it gets fixed with just Beane. This team needs an entire schematic overhaul and it will probably hurt for a year, because this regime drafts players so specific I doubt many would even function in a traditional scheme. At the end of the day we wasted our best shot at a Super Bowl win since the early 90’s in a slow and painful way. I really don’t know how people could sign up for more of this, but I have a feeling Terry is going to make us.

    Does being number 1 in rushing matter if every team that plays us averages even MORE rushing yds?

    We've had poor run defense every year since McDermott got here and it has never once been the reason we lost a playoff game. I just don't worry about it that much.

    I push back a little on this. Hard to say how much a decent rushing attack can soften things. It doesn't need to be about getting completely gashed for 60 minutes. This isn't the 70's. But 5 yards a pop really hurts in the playoffs. We are 4-1 when we don't allow 125 rushing yards. The only loss being our first AFC championship game. We are 3-5 when we allow 125+. Which was basically every KC game outside of that one, the Bengals game, and the Texans game. In several of those games we had couldn't get teams off the field and the run defense was part of it. 

    Bills 2024 Draft

    We paid Von Miller who to prior his injury here was no role player. Joey Bosa is no role player. When White was extended he was amongst best CB in league.

     

    We might not had drafted WRs in years of Beane but traded for Kelvin Benjamin, Corey Coleman (former 1st Round pick), Antonio Brown and Diggs. We also signed guys like John Brown, Coleman Beasley, Emmanuel Sanders, Jamison Crowder, Terrelle Pryor and more. Sure several busted some excelled but again we made efforts to add talented WR other ways to let us draft other positions. Aka building a roster. Obviously looking at our drafting history maybe it not best plan to draft WRs.

    3 years ago we didn't have as many holes on defense. But I know keep building an offense cuz as great as Josh and offense been in playoffs they can be a few points better but fail to see letting d talent lesser they get more worse than the offense improves and still lose in the playoffs.

     

    I think the problem is with exception of Bosa, in most instances, we are several years removed from all these decisions. I think our first build was really well done. Especially the bargain Free Agents. We still get a hit on some bargains like Floyd and Bosa <== who is more a bargain than trying to pursue elite talent. Nice hit either way. But we really haven't made attempts at bigger moves in awhile now, preferring to invest in our own picks, many of which are in fact role players. Which then tends to lock in further attempts at growth at these positions. When you are arguably a player or two away it is a bit frustrating that we are so hesitant to add a known commodity. Personally, I think Beane is gun shy over the Diggs and Miller moves, which didn't work out, but I feel were correct.

    We are witnessing something really special... I literally had to throw in a Hall of Fame full back to round out his play style because he is otherworldly

    I appreciated the Scrambling Fran as well. You don't tend to think that right away because of the size difference and physical style, but he has that pure playmaking and sense of surrounding.
