This is so melodramatic. The Bills might win the Superbowl or get knocked out in the wild card, either way life will go on. Just enjoy the ride homie.

Pivoting the gameplan to get the RBs involved in the passing game after the running game was floundering is something the Bills have been missing all season. It lets the Bills be more dynamic and unpredictable, which is something I think we've really lacked in all of our losses. We've gotta get our playmakers the ball even if their traditional role is being shut down. Yesterday that meant Cook in the passing game, and that wheel route (was it actually a wheel route? I haven't watched the play over) for the TD was beautiful and created a perfect mismatch.

Let's just try and enjoy the season as it unfolds. I know that's been particularly hard this year given the expectations but getting all wrapped up in the "what ifs" just isn't worth the mental anguish (to me anyways). This team can beat anybody. They can also probably lose to anybody. It's going to be a rollercoaster.

I heard McD gained a lot of Saudi fans after some choice comments a couple seasons back. Let's hope it wasn't one of those guys.

Allen can make any offense elite day Sunday. Whether or not they get hot at the right time is impossible to predict. I think the defense hinges on the development of Deone Walker moving forward this season. We've lost too many other pieces. If he can get more dominant, the defense has a chance to be good still, but he's basically our only chance for interior pressure and run stuffing combined.

He looks a lot more confident when Rapp isn’t playing opposite him. I don’t think that’s a coincidence

He just doesn’t come in clutch during the high pressure situations. To me that’s the main difference. He has all the tools and is a great QB, he shows it while they’re blowing the pants off of bad teams.

Getting benched from this WR core is a hell of a statement. I think we were all hoping that it was his utilization but it seems to be a combination of lack of effort and personal drive at this point. Really sad when you see this sort of thing, he had potential and he’s gonna let down his team and fanbase by not giving it your all.

He can go to Cleveland where he belongs. Let's keep the creeps out of Buffalo.

Wouldn't this type of play be more susceptible to mistakes since it requires more individuals to execute than the more standard 11 or 12 personnel setup? Don't get me twisted here, we've seen how effective the Bills can be out of the heavy set. I think the Bills need to be more effective in the standard personnel groupings though, because they allow for more improvisation when we're not working all working in unison well (like against the Dolphins).

You're right. They're people first and foremost, and we should try to remember that. If any of those things were you listed were the case, I'd hope the coaches would have the grace to not call him out on effort in front of the national media then. That being said, it's possible they don't know too.

Hamler's career got railroaded due to a heart condition and a knee injury. Hardman is a known quantity. I'm not really interested in arguing about it, since neither are really going to make a difference to the offense at all. It just seems like a wasted opportunity to coach a speed guy up for ~2 seasons and then bring a guy off the street who basically does the same thing in theory. Maybe Hamler is just bad. I don't know, but I don't have a ton of faith in the WR evaluation abilities of the Bills right now.

This is sort of my main problem with Brady this season. Everything feels predictable. Kincaid in? Passing play. Under center? Running play. Shotgun? Passing play. There's a serious lack of tendency breaking and the willingness to adapt in situational moments. I don't know if it's just hubris or what but it really looks like the Bills just call their plays in spite of whatever the defense is doing. Allen and Cook are just good enough to mask it.

Serious question: Is he that much better than KJ Hamler that they needed to bring in someone who doesn't know the system and has no chemistry with the QBs? I like that they're trying to find an answer, I just hate that they needed to wait until it was only scraps left to do it.

Wrong draft, but same sentiment. We drafted Dewayne Carter instead.
